Why can't we specify a gender default (he/she/they) for Shepard if they're a background character? I

Thank you, anon, for bringing up world states. This falls under our “no customization” rule that we came up with after much deliberation. We apologize for the late entry into the exchange rules. Our stance is that the focus on this exchange is on the NPCs and not Shepard. The official Bioware novels and comics didn’t gender Shepard and maybe next year we’ll enact a rule of no gendered Shepards, but for now, it’s up to the creator’s discretion.
