I haven't played too much Mass Effect because I'm playing other games before, but when I tried the first one I choosed the female protagonist, don't remenber much of her voice, but I like to use female characters, in any case i'll take in account your comment, thanks for sharing it!
About Skyrim... yeah, I know exactly what you mean, I understand that It must be expensive to hire that many voice actors, but man, a couple more don't harm you know.
