Commander Shepard is canonically male for the first two games

>Commander Shepard is canonically male for the first two games

What the hell was Bioware thinking?

oh who honestly gives a fuck anymore, this shit about girls and video games is going to give me a fucking aneurysm, no matter what anyone is saying anymore. It just doesn't fucking matter.

that's not how I remember it

...

I bought it used for Xbox 360 and it had a chick cover

>game about customizing your character and making choices with him/her
>make boxart the default model and nothing else

bravo bioware

They couldn't resist the appeal of Vanderloo's sexy mug. More importantly for me though, using his face primarily on the boxart made choosing a character easier
>want to try ME when I saw it on sale
>usually take hours if given facial customization options
>see male default face
>hey thats the guy on the box
>yea he's ok, start game

It's a reversible cover that defaults as male Shepard assuming you didn't buy it used, you moron.

>Let fans vote on the official femshep.
>Ignore it and rig another poll for the disgusting ginger.

I don't think I'll ever not be annoyed by this.

This is pretty weak bait. But I'm gonna stick around to see where this thread goes

What was she supposed to look like?

Blonde and have longer hair IIRC

This. I flipped mine because she was hot and it was pre 2015.

This is what won by like tens of thousands of votes, but women bloggers and other sites started bitching about it being unfair because men were only choosing the sextoy object instead of the proper (i.e. brunette with their self-projected jealousy of blondes) Shepard.

So they snuck in a "round 2" where the ginger was suddenly popular for no reason whatsoever.

Flip the cover?

I never played ME, it's a reversible cover or console different covers?

Kinda weird that there was a vote in the first place, femshep always defaulted as a redhead in character creation.

She looks best with dark hair actually.

The boxart is reversible, you know? Fem on one side, male on the other.

Reversible

...

I'm not a fan of the disheveled hair look she has going on, I could never pick it in character creation cause I thought there's no way in hell that hair was regulation. I always made femshep look like a space Jodie Foster, the look fit the voice best plus Jodie does strange things to my dick

The proper femshep was never blonde

Femshep voice and ass > Maleshep voice and ass

Prove me wrong

I will post a blog that I remmebered just now, holy shit:
>Meet up with friends
>There is a guy with them who I don't know, he is wearing a shirt with a little N7
>I say " In the game it looks more leather than cloth" to start a conversation
>He completely loses yelling "IT'S BECAUSE I AM FAT? SORRY FOR NOT BEING A MUSCLE WALL LIKE SHEPARD. God, I will never use this again, JUST BECAUSE I AM FAT!"
>Everybody cringe
>Few minutes later my friend tell me that the guy is fanatic for videogames, and to take care.
>mfw

it was more cloth 2bh not even close to leather

I really think it resembles more leather.

There is a cloth hoodie and a leather one, though I think the hoodie was a preorder bonus

>Its literally a Photoshop recolor of her hair
