Do you play more female characters or male ones, and why?

[sgc_meltdown]

that was the cutest one

did you do it many times on purpose then

 

[JarlFrank]

Yes of course I did.
"Ooooh, a very VERY deep pit!"
*save game*

Also, if you like the TR games play this.

It doesn't even require you to have any TR game installed, just extract and play. Some levels can be frustratingly hard but if you like Tomb Raidin', this shit is perfect.

So far I only liked playing as a female protagonist in Resident Evil series, where I prefer it. Much to my dismay, latest games in the series not only getting more action-y, but also feature dumb and shallow male protagonists like Chris and Leon, while I'd like Jill and Claire all the way. In the rest of games I only play as a male character. Couldnt force myself to female playthrough in ME even after 3 attempts.

Ada Wong is sexy as hell. Kick zombie's ass in highslit cheongsam? Fuck yeah.

Claire is better

IIRC there was a certain level with a drop so vertical that her scream would loop before you hit the bottom

Usually male on the first run, except for Mass Effect. When I first played Mass Effect I played the male Paragon, then my save got wiped so I had to start again. For some reason I picked female and started being a real bitch. And I fell in love with the voice. Subsequently for ME2 and ME3 I always imported that female character for the first playthrough. Dragon Age II also had a cool voice actress for FemHawke.

In Fallout 1, 2 and NV it really doesn't matter what sex you pick, since your character doesn't have a voice actor anyway, and as others have mentioned, the points of view make character art not very important. The female character models in Jade Empire are very pleasing on the eye, but I usually end up making a male character because I don't want that annoying guy, whatshisface, hitting on me. Can't remember if there's an option to tell him to fuck off right away but next time I play a girl I'll try that.

In MMOs I always play male, because I find guys who play females in online games to be very, very creepy and I don't want to be one of them.

I played little of MMOs, but the few I do, female figures all the way. Since I interacted little with other, it's no skin of my nose.

Oh yeah, White Bikini Amazon figure all the way. If you play City of Heroes and you see a big hulking female in white bikini running around, that's probably me. 40DD should do the trick.

Indeed, Same here Men when epic beards are available, when Men are Animu metros I take Womyn instead. in Fallouts it is good to play both as there is extra content to both sides. Like in Arcanum Male Dwarf enginseer and female Elf or Half Elven Mage/diplomat. Am I alone cringing hearing Mark Meer voice? Jenifer Haile was much better but I took Male Shepard anyway to bang Miranda.

 

[ArcturusXIV]

I play male characters in first person.

Female in third person, as smaller characters usually have a smaller hitbox, and also they are nicer to stare at.

 

[Lykurgos]

As a male - in a game with a party, I'll always include a mix of male and female characters. In a game with just one character, I'll always pick a male character. Difference is between playing as a guiding spirit/overlord of the party versus the person in being of the single character. I just don't feel right being the female character, which I think means I am at least trying if not always succeeding to suspend disbelief a bit and live vicariously in the virtual world.

 

[CrazyLoon]

I would play a female if there is a huge penalty in everything. Otherwise, always a dude.

 

[Reinhardt]

 

[DalekFlay]

In RPGs I usually play female rogues. Dual wield dagger chick assassins, basically. I'm not gonna lie, part of that is because I think it's a sexy concept. Another reason is because most games that make you play a specific character have you play a dude, so it adds variety.

In replays I tend to mix it up with mages and warriors. I never play female fighters or tanks though, and think that's a stupid concept largely. You can do female tanks okay, like Game of Thrones did, but most videogames make them hot waifus in plate armor with a bastard sword, like Pathfinder Kingmaker, and it's dumb.

 

[Valestein]

I play female over male.

 

[Dramart]

I play male for immersion. I play female if the character is hot.

 

[Grimlorn]

Is it a coincidence that after playing as women in games for so long Bratislav recently came out as attempting to transition to one?

 

[Maxwell's Demon]

It depends on how fuck ugly the characters are.

 

[catfood]

In party based games I always make a male-only party because wymyn don't belong on the battlefield.

In first person games I always make a male character because I'm not a tranny.

In third person games I always make a female character because staring at a guy's ass is gay a.f.

 

[Dedicated_Dark]

Female, cause Ass, Bewbs, something pretty to look at & virtual paper doll trope.

I'd love to play a historical RPG where playing a female character was the hard mode.

I'm trying to think of games where this is the case. The only one that comes to mind is Kenshi where the Holy Nation won't take bounties from female PCs.

seems to me like most of the male gamers who always play women are well on their way to being trannies IRL. Yes, trannies with girlfriends even, because thats a thing now apparently; you identify as a woman and conveniently you're a lesbian woman so you, a newly minted "woman" can keep shoving your dick in vagina, and peeing standing up, and this doesn't cause any cognitive dissonance. Or something like that.

 

[†††]

I play a female if there's sex in the game

 

[Falksi]

Most the time I create a female redhead & name her Tyris, after the Golden Axe slag. Especially if there's lesbian romances available, and it's 3rd person.

The only time I'll create a male is if it's 1st person, and you have to be male to fuck the bitches in the game.

Dragon Age 1-3, Mass Effect 1-3, Dragon's Dogma, Divinity 2:TDKS, Kingdoms of Amalur etc. All saw Tyris turn up & conquer.

Let me guess - you always play games as fat basement dweller, die in first encounter and uninstall the game?

I'm a married man and soon to be father. On the other hand, you, anime girl avatar, personally sensitive to the suggestion that men who spend large amounts of time fantasizing about themselves as women are secretly wishing to be women IRL.... Just how far into the process are you pal, wigs and stealing your sister's makeup, or full blown e-begging for cock mutilation money?
