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.

My Sheperd is an Asian woman for the same reasons. I looooooved that I could make her look specifically Vietnamese because when people think Asian, they think "Chinese" and that's just one ethnicity. With this, I could hone her looks to look more like me and it was amazing and empowering to see. You seldom come across a game that takes these things seriously and with such masterful storytelling as well. I loved it :D
