    Honestly, FemShep is so much better, she’s more richly developed as a character than BroShep ever was.

      I read people complained that ME1’s character creator was ass. I guess it must have gotten that reputation by being kind of ass for making a dude, because my Shep was a badass bitch. Voice actress was on top of things too. She’s by far the most memorable custom character I played.

      Until ME3 where they yassified her from a 40-something war veteran to a glossy-skinned 25 year old lifestyle vlogger. Interestingly that made me - a cis man - feel viscerally connected to the injunction to look a certain way for the male gaze, and I got so fucking mad at bioware during that intro cinematic.

      How is she more richly developed than broShep? Don’t they have more or less the exact same stories? And from what little I’ve seen, the male romances are generally better?
