TopicDo you want GTA VI to feature a female protagonist?

Technically speaking, my protagonist in GTAV -is- female. Because I play a female character in GTA Online.

But yeah, I don't really care who the protagonist/s of GTA VI will be, because I'm assuming they're just going to be whatever gangster-style archetypes fit best in whatever American city Rockstar decides to parody this time around, and that they're either going to be just as "meh" as Franklin and Michael, or as over-the-top ridiculous as Trevor was (ie, barely real characters at all).

At this point in video game history, I'd vastly prefer they just stop their pretensions of grande arte and just let the player create their own character visually/voice set *cough*Saints Row*cough*, but I don't see Rockstar ever doing that.

Though based on things that have been said, and the amount of money they've made from it, we might never see an actual GTA VI as much as we might just see GTA Online 2 instead. They absolutely LOVE how well that business model worked for them.

mshep>>>>femshep.
when femshep tries to renegade and be angry she cant pull it off. sounds like she is going to stomp her foot. with mshep he sounds like he will bleep you up.

When maleShep is Paragon he sounds like someone who's had a lobotomy, or an alien who has heard of this thing humans call emotion, but doesn't quite understand it. When maleShep is Renegade, he sounds exactly the same, only slightly louder.

He doesn't really develop even hints of anything resembling a personality until Mass Effect 3, by which point it's kind of too late (which kind of counter-balances the fact that femShep starts to over-do the emotion in a few places in ME3).

I don't blame Mark Meer for that (whoever was voice directing him clearly just told him to do Space John Wayne and then gave him no imput of any kind), because he's done a ton of other voices in other games, and he has a HUGE range. But his Shepard is quite possibly the worst role he's ever done in his entire professional career.

Yes, if you want your Shepard to be "1980s Action Movie Space Robot", then sure, go with maleShep. But femShep is far better as an actual character and believable human being.
