MASS EFFECT LEGENDARY EDITION - GENDER CHANGE BUG REPORT [PS4]
Introduction:
Hello, i would like to report a bug that happens on PS4 while playing Mass Effect 3 in the Legendary Edition about my Shepard changing gender.
Problem:
This happened first time i opened the quick menu (holding the PS middle button) because was looking at something in my notifications, when i got back into the game it finished loading my save and for some reason my Shepard was a male (mine is female). So i just loaded the game again (manually hitting the load option and selecting my save) and it loaded just fine.
So tonight i hop in again and do the same, i open the quick menu while game is loading and surprise, my Shepard is male again so i had to reload the save for my character to be female (which is the gender i picked since i'm a female).
The thing is that it changes everything, the voice, you can romance the straight female characters (you wouldn't be able to do it as female).
And i gave it another try (this time on purpose to test if it happens everytime and it does happen).
How to do it:
You launch the game, then you pick Mass Effect 3 and then as it starts loading, just hold the PS button (middle button in the controller) to open the quick menu and stay there till you see the loading circle in the corner with the blue screen and text. After a minute in that screen just press the O (circle) to get back into the game, it'll load fine but you'll have a different gender Shepard.
I don't know if this happens viceversa, like having a male Shepard and it switches to female.

From the start of loading - Second clip
These are 2 video clips i made, as you can see it's a male Shepard when it loads after the bug happens, i then proceed to load the autosave (no switching careers or anything) you can see my name there "Abigail Shepard" (Abigail is my real name) and then it's a female which is my normal character and gender.
If anyone has a PS4 and wants to give it a try, just follow the steps i mentioned and see if it works for you too.
