There's no debate, nobody played femoid Shepard but mentally ill reset era trannies and dyke fetishist redditors.

The whole "I HATE MALE VOICE ACTORS" is a tranny talking point because they outright just hate men's voices.

I played as both but MaleShep just feels more naturally ingrained to the story, especially with a humble Earthborn origin and surviving Akuze. But then that fucks the narrative of 2 since Shepard is forced to work for the fuckers who caused that tragedy in the first place. Femshep always struck me as more militant so having a Spacer background amongst military parents in a strict lifestyle and being a War Hero too at the SB.

They put the cart ahead of the horse - they want a female lead, they want to be female, so they will always make it out that femshep has better voice acting, femhawke has better voice acting, cassandra has better voice acting, wowee zowweee apparently men can never voice act!

Shepard is essentially a delta operator turned ship admiral and both of those have a VERY specific way of straight to the point monotone talking. Male and female.

Malesheps default appearance and Meer's voice actor come across as a tightass who organizes his underwear drawer and plans his day all the way down to the smallest detail.
Hale sounds like she's trying to ham it up like a 1980s action movie heroine. If you ever talk to high ranking navy women they sound like Meer, not Hale. Meer sounds like a military tightass and it perfectly suits the character of Shepard, Hale sounds like a jedi consular.
I don't think her work is necessarily bad, it just doesn't fit the character as much as Meer's.

Hale also has some really weird gaffes throughout the trilogy in which it feels like she spoke her dialogue without having a clue about the context. Like when she screams MOVE OUT into Ashley's face when they're face to face in ME1, and it's clearly not supposed to be voiced like that. Or the conversation with Joker about the war, just look at how much better male Shepard is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Er1n81JoRQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY136KbNVQQ

Hale is a bit better only in ME1 because the VA has more raw talent. But in a lot of ways Meer is just better for the role, ESPECIALLY in ME3 where he blows Hale out of the water.

So to stop dark energy from killing everyone, they leave around the dark energy mass relays for everyone to make use of, don't tell them who they are or what they're trying to stop, then every 50k years harvest everyone, learn nothing, and countless millennia later to such a degree that Shepard's cycle is the second to last one or thereabouts before the entire universe as we know it ends from dark energy misuse, they've still not achieved a single breakthrough

1% of the galaxy being explored means it was at least somewhat contained compared to letting species extend the entirety of the galaxy. Plus resetting so that the universe heals for 50k years makes it slightly less retarded. Still sounds better than Leviathans not just straight up ending the Reapers with a backdoor they left in the citadel. Honestly it just means the Leviathans were retardedly short sighted and the Reapers were just a lobotomised version of them, who are at one point a fusion of organic and mechanical and just mechanical at other points.

As I fucking thought. On the internet it makes it seem like she's hugely popular, but she's not. Goes to show how perception can be easily changed. Also, men not playing as men are fags, full stop, doesn't matter the cope. There is a metaphysical constant that denotes action and movement/existence for lack of a better term that we share biologically. There is also an inherent coolness to men that we deeply understand. Women feel the same connection with other women, but they and us can never understand each other because while we seem to be the same, we aren't.

I'm talking about all harvestings ever, ever since the Reapers started the cycles. Each cycle results in at least one new Reaper. How many Reapers do you see at the end of 2? How many do you see/defeat in 3? That's a lot of cycles, and they never managed to figure out the dark energy issue or even get close enough for them to give Shepard a hint of a solution
>They built spoopy robits capable of destroying them and left no backdoor to destroy them

Just because you were turned off from the franchise by ME3 shitting up the story doesn't mean there wasn't a narrative of the trilogy that changed with time. I remember in 2010-2013 when it was just assumed by everyone by default that male Shepard with Mark Vanderloo's face was the de facto real Shepard. Female Shepard in particular was considered an awkward alternative option, especially noticeable with how awkward her body animations are (because they're using the skeleton/mesh of a bigger more muscular body) and because a lot of Shepard's animations seemed tailormade for the male VA's delivery. It's only in the mid-late 2010s when the troons started finding out about Mass Effect that the rewriting of history started and a loud minority started claiming femShep was always the real choice. You could go to the twitch streaming section and always find 50 rainbow haired lesbians religiously replaying as femShep.

Manipulate is if they tried to get people to play femshep. Trannies who were always going to do it did it, the people they tried to persuade FemShep was canon choice just left the series. Mostly because of how hard ME3 ending bombed, but still.

I can believe Vanguard is third place.
What I can't believe is that it's picked by less than 10% of the playerbase. How can you look at the class designed to get inside someone's anus and fill it with space buckshot and not be at least a little tempted? I get Commander Call of Duty Shepard being more popular, but how's the margin so BIG?

Essentials:
>Unofficial/Community Patches
Good general bugfixes that should be installed first. 1 and 3 are named Community Patch, 2 is named Unofficial Patch because of some retarded drama with it being a slightly different team or something, but they're all solid and stick to pure bugfixes. Get this if nothing else.
>MELLO, LEUITM, LEUITM2
Three mods for 1/2. MELLO fixes the borked lighting in the legendary edition, the two LEUITMs improve textures generally.
>ALOT/ALOV
The go-to texture/video improvement mods, mostly obsolete in Legendary but does fix a couple minor autistic things.
>Myriad Pro Begone
This might just be my own autism talking, but I find this mod invaluable because it replaces the ugly ME2/3/LE font with the original font that was used everywhere in ME1, which gives the whole game so much more sovl. Highly recommend.
>Genesis Begone
Undoes the shitty changes to the ME2 intro that the Genesis dlc made.

>Pinnacle Station
For 1, remakes a dlc that was absent on PS3/Legendary because they lost the source files. I personally don't like it because it's poorly-designed challenges made by a team outside of Bioware that forces your Shep to act like a retard in order to finish the story, but it's there if you want it.
>Eden Prime Red Sky Restored, Remove Feros Color Filter
Restores the original look of Eden Prime and Feros.
>Saren Stages
Uses concept art to restore cut content where Saren's appearance was going to change over the course of the game, kinda neat.
>Diversification Project
For 1 and I think 3, adds a shitload more npcs and other ambient environmental shit in an attempt to be more lore-friendly and consistent in-between games, I haven't played enough to fully recommend it but worth checking out.
>Take Earth Back
Adds way more content to the endgame of 3, I haven't played it yet but heard very good things.
>Charted Worlds, Galaxy Map Trackers
Makes ME1 a bit easier to navigate.
>Audemus' Happy Ending Mod
Self-explanatory.
>Citadel Epilogue Mod
Turns Citadel dlc into a post-happy ending mission.
>LE1 Definitive Audio Overhaul
Adds sounds from 2/3 to 1, I like this because I find 1's audio design really monotonous.
>Primitives
Texture overhaul focusing on faces. I actually hate the way this looks but loads of people seem to love it.
>Retrofits
Series of mods adding new enemy types and shit to 3. Don't know enough to fully recommend but looks neat.
>Appearance Modification Menu
Allows more character customization, particularly for 1. I don't really care about that sort of thing but there's a lot there if you want.

Modding is a bit complex because you have to use two separate programs: ME3Tweaks Mod Manager for content mods, and MassEffectModder for texture mods. Install content mods first, then texture mods. Don't alter mods after textures are done. There's a google doc out there that explains more.

I genuinely don't intend for this to be mean, but zoomers will never understand what it was like in those days. This massive political divide didn't exist.

Mass Effect was one of those communities that was split pretty much straight down the middle in terms of people who realized how shitty Bioware was getting and those who were either drinking the kool-aid or in deep denial. And now it ends up in this weird place where leftoids hate it for glorifying police/military and rightoids hate it for having The Gay. But that sort of shit really just didn't happen when these games were made. Nobody gave a fuck, and it was beautiful, and we'll never be able to go back.

Mass Effect was a throwback to the shitty 80s sci-fi movies. As such, Mark Meer's mediocre acting in ME1 was perfect for the setting. As the games started getting a stick up their ass and taking themselves more seriously, Mark's acting improved, and was a better option for the trilogy

Femshep because I like making her kiss Liara.
But no, come the fuck on Maleshep is obviously the correct choice from an objective standpoint.

Plus if Liara wasn't bisexual I'd be picking Maleshep. Hell, when Liara wasn't romancable in ME2 I picked Maleshep and fucked Tali.

I usually choose female when given the choice because coomer and nontranny related affinity for crossdressing.
But usually male if theres romance options.

Regardless, the viice performance of femshep (and fem v in cyberpunk) are among the worst performances in a AAA game ive ever heard.
Its downright awful.

My advice to libs is to genuinely choose your battles wisely. Dying on the femshep hill is retarded

Always played as maleshep, recently did a playthrough as femshep and actually really liked it, it has arguably better voice acting than maleshep too. The main problem is that it doesn’t have good human romance options and I don’t like the idea of interspecies with a guy that looks like a cricket and another one like a fish. Jacob has got to be the worst character in ME and is the only human hetero option other than Kaidan who I always kill on Virmire.
