“Aren’t enough female heroes in games.”
BioWare has revealed that “18 per cent of everyone who plays Mass Effect plays it with a female character”.
David Silverman, BioWare marketeer, told vg247 he was “completely taken aback” by the vocal support for FemShep (female Shepard) in Mass Effect 2.
BioWare has decided to include FemShep on the Collector’s Edition box of Mass Effect 3 as a result, and will even, for the first time, base an entire ME3 video around the female lead.
