Really? You've never run into MMO players who run with female characters (despite frequent sexual overtures from other players) because they'd rather stare at a female model's ass? People pay attention to these things. That's why the most popular mods are flesh mods.

I'm run into dozens of men who've claimed they prefer to watch a female toon over a male one. I'm not sure I trust their word, but I've encountered it many times.

Sure, like MC I've seen people claim they choose female over male characters because as you say, they'd rather stare at a female model's ass.

 

Enoch's focus on ass, however, is not the same as Bioware "selling the game by swinging sex in our faces". It's less "ass-centered" than "back-of-the-head" centred.

Very true. Its' hard to fight a deathclaw if an ass is in your line of fire.

There are deathclaws in Mass Effect 2?

Hot purple ones?

I agree with the female ass theory, since I do it as well, but only if the game is so dumb that its unappealing to identify myself with the main character. Thus Id never play a female in BGII but I played a big boned, red headed frenzied berserker chick in NWN2,

The aesthetic appeal of the female form, even in virtual, is quite often an attraction for the male segment... but I'd say a lot of people just like immersing themselves in a game and blowing crap up while saving the country/world/galaxy

 

I've got to say I spent more time looking at the backgrounds and other things going on on the screen with ME then staring at my character's ass..

 

But there's always room for everyones playing styles

I thought ass-staring was the hidden real motive of the elevator scenes.

I noticed that too. The camera is pretty much anchored to the ass.

They've gotten rid of the elevator scenes.

 

Also, those annoying mineral quest from ME 1? They carry over to ME 2.

 

How you handled the reporter also carries.

The good, the bad and the ugly.

 

So I have to go back and finish my collection quests?

I.e. Shepherd's meat puppet finally gets a one-on-one interview with Emily Wong's tripod chong.

Prefering to look at a polygonal representation of a female is certainly part of the reason why I tend to play female characters in games. But since Im usually also picking female characters even if im going to play in a first person perspective it is probably not the entire story.

The female body physique in Mass Effect are hawt.

 

A nice firm butt, a set of normal sized tracts of land without the need to turn into himalayas and an overall well toned body.

 

I wish I could say the same for other video game female characters who tend to be crafted to please hormone raging tards.

 

But again, the Prince of Persia's Elika's hawt too.

Well, these two I didn't know.

 

Reporter makes sense, minerals make me glad I was OCD enough to those on a character with max experience.

The hell? Hopefully it's nothing major.

Well, you did discover enough minerals to supply a few shipyards.

But they were incredibly boring and no one ever did them more than once. It's just silly to take those into account and not other quests.

Maybe someone will make fun of you and call you stupid in ME2 if you completed the mineral quests.

 

Hopefully atleast, I missed two rare minerals in my save

While the quest was annoying, ignoring it would have been the silly thing.

Perhaps they're targeting the obsessive compulsive demographic.

Wrong. They are taking the other quests into account, too. The situation seems to be that you get some bonus resources for having done these quests. Hardly gamebreaking if you didn't, and you sure aren't going to miss out on anythinng.

 

TBH, I read the original quote on meforums, and I'm not sure this (=unc: valuable minerals having an effect in ME2) is the 100 % correct interpretation. We'll see in a couple of weeks.

"But they were incredibly boring and no one ever did them more than once. It's just silly to take those into account and not other quests. "

 

I love it when people whine about potential C&C in RPGs. Just because you chose not tom follow throguh in comp0leting these quests doesn't mean others whom did should suffer.

 

Just like in RL, those who put in extra effort are often rewarded.

 

Additional C&C - even for relatively minor things - is a good thing. Period.
