Shepard worked because they wrote the story entirely for a guy static character and then made some minor dialogue changes for the female option. The illusion of choice dialogue options has been overdone as is, they never actually make massive impacts or punishments to the story.
I find the gender difference far less egregious in a universe basically dominated by the Asari, who seem to be the ones corralling all other races together. Its still generic "sci-fi egalitarianism" but it at least is inoffensive.
The true failing of the character creator is the background choices, which should lead to considerable differences in both your treatment and your choices but instead if just a handful of "we referenced it 2-3 times randomly with no effect" moments.
The asaris existence is illogical on its front. An all female species that by all lore barely reproduce but somehow still have the numbers to be the “girlboss” alien species. They were put in to satisfy guys who wanted to fuck an alien and lefties demanding space egalitarianism as you said.
They literally do some form of psychic bullshit to always appear as something close to the "perfect" girl for your species, if not you specifically. They literally abused simping to become the top of the food chain.
Its unironically hilarious and legitimately unique, made even more so by the fact that they don't acknowledge it at all so it doesn't get moralized or excused.
