You probably prefer Maleshep over FemShep because that is what you're most familiar with.

Jennifer Hale, though, has been in sooooooooo many things (has the Guinness world record even). She really is just the better VA based on experience. Mark Meer, it's his first big VA adventure with the ME games.

Also, I could never get over the Garrus, bro feeling. He's a bro not a lover. The Kaidan romance is cute though. And yeah no other male romances available.
