You know what problem I have with this whole voice actors debate? People assume that Femshep and Maleshep have to be competing for some reason. Like there's some rule that says one of them is clearly the best Shepard. I don't see it that way. Male Shep is Mark's take on Shepard, Female Shep is Jeniffer's take on it. There is enough room in this world for both of them, especially if you do multiple playthroughs like me.
On the subject of Jack I think she would've been better topless, becuase that belt looks fucking ridiculous.
The thing is that Bioware sexualizes characters where it's not appropriate. The thing about Jack is that sex has to due wither her personality, so for her to be under-dressed is appropriate. But then there are characters like Samara where sex is not a part of their personality, yet they are still sexualized. The latter is what really pisses me off becuase it's pointless and only undermines the character.DustyDrB said:

I figured they were just going to go with the default appearance for FemShep. Huh, either way I'm thrilled with this news!
All I can say is: it's about damn time. Female Shepard's VA, Jennifer Hale has been lobbying to have the character in trailers since the franchise started.
I've played both. I like them both. Honestly, I feel BroShep is a better renegade, but FemShep makes a far more convincing and materal Paragon. It's true that FemShep doesn't get enough screen time, but the way people get so up in arms about it is a little nuts. It's one of the many reasons I feel the gamer community really doesn't have enough to harp on.
About fucking time. Have played with male Shepard only once to get some nobbing action from Ashley (yeah I know I'm a sick bastard) and he was about as emotional as amoeba aerobics.
Its funny that this article was posted today, I just finished the first Mass Effect game today. I now wish that I'd played it much sooner. I'll go back now and create a female Shepard, and at some point I'll get Mass Effect 2.

I think what they mean by Canon shepard is for non user edited verison of him/her as in if they deside to make a movie that's the look they have to shoot for or writting stories with visuals of the characters you have to have a point of reference or there isn't really a Shepard at all.JourneyThroughHell said:
I hope having FemShep on some of the marketing materials means she'll get a new custom appearance like MaleShep or some seriously better choices for the creation tool. FemHawke's default hair from Dragon Age II would be awesome for my FemShep - a voice transplant wouldn't be amiss either, Jo Wyatt > Jennifer Hale.
About damn time. ^^Logan Westbrook said:
This makes me very happy. FemShep is the ONLY Shep worth playing. Well, except for Romancing Tali, but hopefully ME3 is fixing that little oversight too. ^^
And to the person who said "listen to them back to back" about Male Shep being better - you are clearly insane. I did exactly that (months ago) and Male Shep is dull, flat, and boring compared to sassy, emotive, and interesting FemShep. He sounds like every male protagonist in everything ever. I might as well be playing Halo or Gears of War or something. Bleck.
Judging by the previous games, she'll be relatively realistic, even when her figure isn't hidden behind a suit of power-armour.The_root_of_all_evil said:
I think this is a good idea, I always preferred FemShep and she seems to have a larger fan base than the standard male shep.
I think, they should have a different FemShep for each scene/shot. Scene 1 has FemShepA, Scene 2 has FemShepB, Scene 3 has FemShep1325, and so on.
I like both and have both characters.I think that Hale has too much oomph for a renegade while Meer get's the nearly antisocial voice perfectly.It's good to see she's included even if just for the choice system.
Btw anyone get the feeling the choice system of Bioware is actually exceptionally silly and shallow after playing The Witcher?Anyone?I mean I always favoured Bioware for it's choices but it doesn't have the same drastic change as one would expect.I really hope ME3 changes that.
