Female primarily, like the female VA alot better, she could do serious and joking very well. The male shep just sounded far to serious all the time. Exactly. FemShep has a wide range of emotions and tones. DudeShep is just various tones of either "serious" or "douchebag". Like for instance, many of his sarcastic responses didn't come off sounding sarcastic, they came off sounding like a total ass. FemShep, however, you could tell was being sarcastic. |

Femshep. Male Shepard is far too monotone for my liking, whereas Jennifer Hale is brilliant. Plus, on the one occasion when I did go with a Male Shepard in ME1, the romance I wanted wasn't available due to Bioware's cowardice. Let me guess, a very close...er...."bromance" between DudeShep and Kaiden? |

It actually varies, but there was no "both" option. For some reason, my paragon runs are always male, and my renegade runs are always female. I didn't put a 'both' option cause I wanted people to choose one or the other and pick what they consider their own 'canon' choice. |

Male just because everything is funnier. You aren't evil as a badguy, you are a douche. I actually named my renegade shepard Batista.

Also, I still think it's bulls*** that you can be a lesbian as FemShep, but not gay as DudeShep. Though I've heard they're fixing that for ME3. I agree with you, though there were plans in the first game that a Male Shep could romance Kaidan and a Female Shepcould romance Ashley. They recorded lines for these and even had cutscenes for the love making scene (sort of); Guess BioWare got cold feet about it and scrapped those plans To be fair, they can get away with it now, but remember the uproar when you could have sex with Liara in ME1? Now imagine if it had been Lesbian Sex with her. The PC brigade would have shredded it. |

I did a full play through ME1-2 as renegade female and currently doing paragon male.
BTW Miranda is probably the hottest f***ing video game babe ever!

I play a male Shepard as an ugly ass douchebag and a female Shepard as a beautiful angel.

Female. Come to think of it, my character in Fallout 3 is female, too. I think there's a little bit more weight when a character is female when there's so many male leading figures in games these days.

Male, and named Shep Sheppard. You totally need to give him blond hair and make him into Zapp Brannigan.  |

I haven't played it, but I pretty much always pick female characters when given the choice.

My main character that I've carried over from ME into ME2 is a male, but I've played both games individually with female characters, as well. It seems the male is more interesting, plus it was the initial build on my first playthrough of the first game, so I'll likely continue it into Mass Effect 3.

Why would anyone want to romance Kaidan in ME1 anyways? I mean, yeah, they should have given you the option if you were male, but he is soooooooo boring

I have a paragon male soldier Shepard and a renegade male vanguard Shepard. I got a few more Shepards to make, I might make a female just for the completionist in me but I'm not sure I'd enjoy it as much. I'm a real pussy when it comes to going renegade. My plan with my last run was to go pure renegade but there are certain parts that I just can't commit to. I eventually just turned him into a good guy anyways, mostly renegade but not as much as I hoped. {Spoiler}I don't think I'll ever have it in me to kill the rachni queen for one We'll see if I can do it next time. I know how you feel. every play through I do I want {Spoiler}to have Wrex killed to just see what the alternate outcomes to that are but I can never bring myself to do it. you could always play the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 where you have no choice in the matter and every playthrough assumes that {Spoiler}Wrex dies I dunno why they only made the first one for 360. I only pplayed through MA2 once and I was a dude. when I get MA 3 I might pick up MA2 again and play throough as a woman, just for comparisons sake. |
