Omnae, did Wrex survive for you in ME1? If not, you need to go back and make sure he lives so you can relate certain instances when I call you a Krogan man.
:p
Intimidated? Perhaps Jennifer Hale must have used her renegade voice on you, Bane?
Really though, if you don't play femshep you're missing out!
When I first picked up Mass Effect 2 (did not play ME1 until much later), I actually was against the idea of femshep and refused to roll one because Bioware marketing touted Shepard as a badass male character and I wanted to play 'the' Shepard. Enjoyed the play through, but not enough to really get into the Mass Effect universe.
Then someone harped on me for so long about how you haven't experienced Mass Effect until you've been a femshep that I gave up, dusted off my copy of ME2, and gave femshep a whirl... and wow, what a different experience. Just can't give Jennifer Hale enough credit for how the quality of her voice acting gives depth to the character. She nails pretty much every line, and in retrospect even caused me to feel Mark Meer was a bit flat at times with his tonality and intensity after hearing some of the same lines voiced by her.
So now, I am addicted to Mass Effect.
