Using video games for eye candy is clearly not the weirdest thing out there >.> It's pretty normal nowadays, actually. And yeah, video games with a female protagonist are generally oriented at the male public, hence the appearance of the said protagonists (so-called "fanservice"). At this time, I can only remember one game with a female protagonist that I liked - Mirror's Edge. Back to Female Shepard, like I said, many like Jennifer Hale's voice acting much more than Mark Meer's, so I guess that's an important factor, too.
