@makaro: Seems like you've made a comment filled with useless responses to statements that weren't made... If you actually read his comment you'd see he said he doesn't care about the character's gender, he just doesn't want the game to be filled with overly PC crap that doesn't fit the setting like DA3.

You might have been able to customize a Shepard, but you could never make a Shepard more detailed than the marketed default MaleShep (Sheploo). Why? Because Bioware scanned the face of an actual model, instead of a hodgepodge of generated assets. Based on previous Mass Effects, the marketed face was the most detailed one, so this is a little disappointing.

The player's sexuality may be the choice of the player, but not the supporting cast/squad mates (which what his comment was referring to).
