Prefer Male Or Female Shepard Best?
Played Male and Female and enjoyed, but i prefered Male Shepard voice and was
better detailed.
Something about female accent not quite right for role.
I think the main character voice actress in SR3 has better voice and would of been
better suited for female shepard voice.
Is male and female shepard related?

I have no preference to either gender. However i find Jen Hale's antagonistic and sarcastic tone in some instances a real highlight.

I prefer femshep because I love Jennifer's Hale portrayal of the character. I feel she delivers some of the lines a lot better than broshep.

Sorry but your opinion is wrong LOL just kidding. Plus I feel if I am going to spend 90 or so hours with a game character, I like it to be easy on the eyes.

Both are great. The female Shep's voice actress did a great job of portraying her as a butch ♥♥♥♥ and I loved every minute of it.

i liked both and i played both. i enjoyed them equally well.

i think female shep did a little bit better job during scenes when she was morally outraged. like when she was scolding mordin for the science experiments they did on prisoners of the genophage test facility.

male shep to me was more comedic and said things that made me laugh more. like when he was talking to ashley in me1 and getting a beer was mentioned. he was like "HELL YEAH!" and suddenly had a interested smile on his face. i lol'd so hard!

I prefer Femshep. I just think the voice actress did her well, and to be honest I think she just fits better over-all in the game if that makes sense.

Bro-Shepad is best Shepard imo. I hate over-acting so I don't like femshep.

Femshep all day, if they make a ME movie I want her as canon.

Maleshep is kinda bland, not sure if its the VA or lack of facial animations but eh, he has like 3 facial animations : Idle, Angry and that face he does when EDI tells the air recycle joke.

Female Shepard for me. The reason is that she gives an extra layer of emotions into the character where no one seems to take her seriously when it comes to her Reaper warnings. When she was grounded in ME1, and she had to sit down in the Normandy contemplating. It feels like having a female Shepard just brings that extra gravitas to that emotional scene a lot more. Plus, I really like badass women.

I don't like the default femshep head that was released in ME3, though.

I have no desire to play as female unless the game I'm playing gives no other option so male Shepard all the way.

That's funny, I preferred femShep over male. I felt the males vocal acting was very monotone but J.Hale captured a lot of the emotion in each scene far more than the male counterpart. Especially in the ME3 scenes on earth towards the end. But that's what's great about this game, everyone has their likes and dislikes and we can play it how we like it ;)
Ive done both and prefer male more but due to being restricted on my choices for romance I just always go with femshep which realistically I dont wanna put male shep through some of those relationships anyway.

Male shep is usually my im in this for the galaxy playthroughs with no romances.

Female shep is usually I want something to fight for and to come back to playthroughs.

Fem Shep as I liked the delivery better with her!

I mean they same person outside who/how they sleep with at times, not like they the Ryders->blessed if you don't know them.

Neither voice actors do a bad job nor are they animated bad.

So to answer, I like Male most because he gets Jack (who was suppose to be Bi so almost didn't count) and of course Tali :steamhappy: also loved ME 1 Ashley, but not lackluster + changed 3.

Male shep can't romance Garrus, so femshep all day.
