BioWare wants you to choose female Shepard

Developer BioWare has turned to its fanbase in an effort to decide what version of the female game star Shepard it should put on the cover of Mass Effect 3.

The series has always allowed gamers to choose the sex of the main lead, though 80 per cent of players choose to play as a male Shepard

Last month it was reported that for the first time the female version of the character was to grace the cover of the Collector’s Edition. The male Shepard will still be the lone star of the normal SKU.

Now followers of BioWare on Facebook have been asked to select one of six variants of the female design who will be used for the cover role. Notably none of the six appear the same as the default female Shepard that has appeared in previous games.
