Mass Effect

[groovekittie]

Hey there. I'm on my second play through on Mass Effect. My Sheppard is a female, which I suppose is to be expected. If at all possible, I play my characters as women. I was wondering, do those of you who play ME play as male for another perspective, like some men will play through as a woman. Or do you simply play through as women? If so, why?

Personally, I think I'll always play ME as a female. I mean, most games don't offer the option to change the sex of the main character. Thing is with ME, it feels awesome being the hero as a woman. The one person who changes the fate of the galaxy. I kinda love it.

I love ME, and will probably play through a bunch more times. Thanks to the multitude of starter options, I can't imagine this game would ever get boring.

It's ... interesting, seeing how different games handle POC. I know PlayStation Home is slightly annoying in that you can change skin colour but there don't seem to be preset options for different facial types.

I noticed that too. In some games, it's like the pre-90s Barbies, where they had different skin colours but are obviously all cut from the same blonde whitegirl mold.

Blah, yeah, there is more to diversity than skin colour!
