So you're playing an RPG, and you toggle the gender...

Any other guys feel wierd playing as a lady in a game, vice versa?
You can come out of the closet, you're among kinsman...

I only play as guys when possible. I feel pretty weird when I play as women.

It does feel a little strange playing as a female character. That's why I always choose male.

I don't mind playing as a woman.

No way, playing as woman keeps my interest in the game! (especially the noise they make when they fight)

I play as males, but I see why most guys play as woman.

If you are ganna stare at a screen for hundreds of hours do you want to look at a womans ass or mans ass.

I choose male mainly for a little role play. I cant pretend to be a girl...thats just wierd.

With RPGs that give you the option to choose, then I normally use a male for my first playthrough and then a female.

when i have a choice female since 90% of the games i have don't have a choice and its a better view

the way I see it is, if I am going to be staring at a person's backside (if its third person) or something, it might as well be a woman's backside.

Also, have you seen a female character dressed up in assassin garb with two daggers equipped? Freaking sexy!

Same here. I like a little bit of role-playing in my role-playing games.

I'm male and I prefer female. Rather interesting to roleplay the other gender, after all it is a role-playing game :P.

I don't personalize the characters in a game, so if I choose a male then I feel like I'm staring at a steriod-ridden weightlifting douchebag the entire time. F1_2004

Hence why I always choose an old wise mage ]

In Guild Wars, like 6 out of 8 of my characters are women.

doesn't bother me in the least....only my Assassin and Paragon are male.

My fav character is my first....a female Mesmer. She's a Goddess!

Sometimes I'd rather look at a female avatar for the 50+ hours of a RPG than a male. But then again for some games that involve sex I'd rather be a dude, cause it doesn't feel right the other way around. So I play as a male most of the time but I don't mind being a female character every so often.

I've got no problem with playing as a female character - if you're basically going to be playing dress-up with a character for the next 50 hours, you might as well make it interesting.

If games make a big deal out of your sex, then I'll usually play it through as both guys and girls, just to see what's different, but not many games do that in any meaningful way (Fallout 1 & 2, Arcanum, Vampire Bloodlines, KOTOR 2, and...uh...not a whole lot else).

I play as male character. If I want to look at woman I'll go on the street.

Nah.. especially on MMO's.. it can get you lots of free stuff :lol:

i usually play as male

Pretty much same response as everyone has given here. If i'm going to be gearing, murdering and looking at the same chars ass for 30 or more hours might aswell look good doing it. Hence i play with females most of the time.

I mostly play as guys, but sometimes I feel like playing as a girl, but very rarely.

I usually play as a male, although playing as a female can help you in game when you beg for items lmao

I don't like playing as a woman.

Speaking of which, I don't understand those that didn't play with the default Shepard. The guy is featured in all ME related media, creating another character is like watching trailers for a Tom Cruise movie and when the movie comes out his role is played by Mike Myers!

Also, I would not agree would your statement. I see it something like this. you see the trailers and wish god it was someone else let's say harrison ford instead of tom cruise. when the actual movie comes you are now able to replace tom cruise with ford

Gamespot User Says: I make my character a female because it's just a game and they look better in clothes

Translation: I make my character a female because its the closest I'll ever get to a girl...*sniff*

I always make my main character a brutish ****(warrior/barbarian etc) and a male, then the alt would be a female spell caster/healer.

You can't do it in real life, so what the heck, why not?

Can we also flip this and ask the question to the girls? :D

Do girls prefer playing male or female characters in MMOs/RPGs?

From what I've seen it seems like girls prefer to play as girls more than boys prefer to play as boys. Personally my main characters all tend to be female but I don't really know if that's 'cause I'm female, or just 'cause they tend to have cooler armor. I also have male characters, and I tend to make them huge and butch...lol Maybe I just prefer looking at the female form, or seeing a girl character kick ass.

Whatever the reasoning behind your choices I don't think anybody should feel bad for playing as whatever the hell they want. I think only extremely immature people or children would say anything stupid about a guy playing a girl character.

Depends on the game. At first playthrough I usually play as a male character. After depending how the game's story developed, on the 2nd playthrough I may consider playing as a female character.

In Guild Wars I always make female characters simply because most of the classes are better animated than the male counterpart.

Mass Effect did though have a pretty bad voice for the female. She sounded more like once mother then something sexy ;)
