Surprised that no one wanted to do Miranda's side mission. Yeah, it's one of the worst, but you couldn't have known that going in, and I spent half the game trying to get in her pants, so I probably did her mission first.

Also brings up another possible explanation for the 80% male thing:
1) You're playing the game placing yourself as the main character
2) You're playing the game as an interactive story inserting your own ideal for the main character
I can say confidently that many xbox owners will choose the former, since that's what theyr'e used to both in FPS and WRPGs. A few select others prefer to view the game as a complete narrative and thus the character creation amounts to who they want to see in the lead, tantamount to picking an actor for a movie.

Oh definitely this. It was so damn glossy. I wish they'd add some even absic hair physics.Haunted said:Femshep's biggest problem is the plastic wig.
I wasn't aware that FF7 fans were that much of a problem these days.Jive Turkey said:Wow...FemShep fanboys are rapidly becoming more annoying than FFVII fanboys.

Deal with it.l

So would I. I's also like to see how evenly renegade and paragon split up between the sexes.tokkun said:I would have been most interested to see stats on how many people played Renegade vs Paragon.
So what about female Shepard fangirls? Are we going to compare them to something, too?Jive Turkey said:As long as they exist they're a problem.

If you want to be stupid and claim playing Mass Effect as anything other than female is a waste of time I'll just lump you in with the rest.Aeana said:So what about female Shepard fangirls? Are we going to compare them to something, too?
Vigilant Walrus said:Only 50% completed it...
Wallach said:Not really... the first set of numbers we got like this for, say, HL2: EP1 less than 25% of the people completed it (even though it was like a six hour game).
Halycon said:Also, since Bioware went through extra lengths to make ME2 look and feel more like a space shooter, Soldier seems the natural choice for someone who hasn't played 1.
I initially chose to play as female Shepard because I am female. I ended up really loving the performance, though. I later tried to play as the male character and was really disappointed. I realized that it's possible that Jennifer Hale may have been a major contributor to my overall enjoyment of the game.Halycon said:Garrus fangirls would be analogous to Tali fanboys.
I don't think there are Femshep fangirls so much as girls who decide to play as girls because they are a girl. And there are few enough playable female leads in games already it would seem like a treat.

Ashkeloth said:These stats are actually really interesting to me.
The fact that so many people play male soldier says a lot about the way most people think.
"Ultimately it doesn't always give you the answers, but it sometimes raises questions or gets you to ask the right questions More people played the soldier class than all of the other classes combined. If you know that, then you can start thinking about future games. Is that good? Is that a problem? Should we look at the other classes and start thinking about ways to make them selected as often as soldier? As part of asking these questions, we can design games in the future a lot better."
Aeana said:Her performance in both games is a big reason why I like them. I reallllly do not like male Shepard at all.
Yeah, well there's no cool down time for my sniper rifle.GuitarAtomik said:Warp wrecks shields and Singularity does a good job at chipping at it. Playing Adept in ME2 was ridiculously fun for me, especially once I realized the curved trajectory system they added.

I was disappointed with how Infiltrator played in 2. Without being able to snipe all day the class is really really much weaker than its ME1 counterpart.And Soldier was extremely strong in the first game, which I'm sure was also an influence. I'd bet that Vanguard, the other really strong class from ME1, was the second-most played class in ME2, even though it turned out that the ME2 Vanguard was totally terrible.

djtiesto said:I've heard Tali being referenced to looking like a bird under the mask, or being 'avian'... played through both games and I think I missed something... did the game ever state anything like this?
Vanguards wreck the game on any difficulty. Even more so with the new shotguns they dumped in the game. I'm not even talking about "adepts are fun to play so it's okay!" stuff, Vanguards just wreck almost every encounter in the game on Insanity.charlequin said:And Soldier was extremely strong in the first game, which I'm sure was also an influence.
