You know what I'm getting at.

What will you play (first)

Retain your masculinity by playing a badass space hero?

Or scrap maculinity for a glimpse of PG rated softcore lesbian alien action?

No the second option isn't masculine, its cheuvanist.

Sorry, can't make a poll -- silly gamespot rules.

I think wanting softcore lesbian action is pretty masculine actually.

Being female doesn't mean you will see "lesbian alien action" (well it not really lesbian because the Asari doesn't have different sexes, but other than that there is a male romance for females

my nerves? lulz. I couldn't care less what you play, haha. Whilst I think it's sad that a guy would actually play a female character just to see a 30 second clip of video game sex, I don't really care. What people do is what people do. It doesn't bother me one bit :)

I was just wondering how many of the guys here are actually mature. But then again, I can't really expect much, this is, after all, system wars. Breeding grounds for the mentally challenged. :P

No, its made to give me an idea of how many immature males we have on these forums. While being turned on by lesbian whatever isn't necessarily immature, but playing a video game to see fake lesbians get it on is. For instance, ask yourself, If both sides of the story were the same (no matter if you were male or female) and there was no lesbiant action or anything, would you still play female?

If your answer is no, then in my opinion (whatever that is worth to you), that would c l a s s ify you as immature.

ALSO... I am by no means claiming myself to be any more mature than anyone else, I think we all have some form of imaturity in us, but This thread is about a specific kind of immaturity.

Male.

I don't care enough about the softcore love scene to play as a female character. Besides, I've always played as a male in every game that presents you with the option.

LOL

I also find it harder to empathize with a female character....since I'm not female. (I swear)

I love the TC's point. It is exactly what went through my head when I first heard about the human alien action with a female alien. My choice will be situational. I will probably have to go male through the first time so my wife doesn't get suspicious of my overt desire for the lesbian seen. She knows I am really looking forward to the game so may watch some of the game play. Next time through though, chick all the way FTW. My wife knows I have hooked up females with females in Jade Empire, Kotor and Sims 2. So I will probably have to play as a male or she will assume the worse. Not that there is anything wrong with that. She does know me better than anyone. But sometimes for appearances sake I behave.

Same here. I am just going to have to wait until I can mess around with the character creation screen before I decide which one I want to play through with for the first time.

Wow **** you very much. I'm not into the whole dating thing (parties ftw) but some of my friends are, and we all want to see space lesians. I don't think we need to get a life. I think you need to re-assess yours.

Female. Personally... either or won't matter. My character in Oblivion is female too. I just usually create an avatar that's reflective of some of my early art drawings and alter egos I had... so when I play a game, I make them female if I can, and play the role of my alter ego.
