The very next day, Silverman said that he had woken up to hundreds of messages saying yes. The default Commander Shepard is male, but BioWare has acknowledged that the female version – often referred to as “FemShep” – has plenty of fans too, and will feature her in a new trailer.īioWare laid the groundwork for this decision back in May, when marketing director David Silverman told his Twitter followers to speak up if they wanted the trailer.
It may have taken three games to do it, but BioWare is finally featuring the female Shepard in Mass Effect marketing. Bioware believes in customization actually MORE than the 'default storyline' - they just have to wrangle with limited resources like all game developers do.The female Shepard might not everyone’s choice, but that hasn’t stopped plenty of people falling in love with her. They understand player demographics so they're the least likely to not facilitate a hetero male white protagonist in their games, and least likely to not include it in marketing for their games, but they don't believe it is at all as direct as "BTW only Shepard is Male Straight Shepard". To them, ♥♥♥♥ Shepard, female Shepard, ethnic Shepard, etc, are all fully legitimate once the option exists. Say whatever you will about your opinion on Shepard, but in whatever convos I have had with those associated with Bioware (yes really - I live in the vicinity of Montreal and know a few in industry), they really do view it as much more varied, with the 'Sheploo' (Shepard Mark Vanderloo face model) just being the marketing face of the game, nothing more.
You can continue Liara in a more substantial way in Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC, while being a meany and flirting with Kelly on the side, I think.
