Dragon Age: Origins gameplay and discussion thread.

Actually, thinking about the subject, Shepard is flat out the best female character in any game. She's a person first and always...

What a profoundly amazing coincidence, just half an hour ago I was discussing Shepard vs. Warden with my betrothed. She's played DA:O, ME and ME2 and thinks that the Warden is a much more interesting character because of the room she is allowed to grow into, whereas Shepard is "emotionless, bland and rigid, always the same tough gal regardless of choices made in the game." My position is that Shepard is a soldier first and foremost, a more defined character, yes, but one that the story can delve into in a more profound manner. The Warden is more of a template, not really a "character" as far as traditional methods of storytelling would imply.
