More often than not when playing RPG games, you need to create a character, the first choice is normally male or female? The question is, which do you choose.

Now, I always go female...even though I am in fact...in real life, a male.

My friend called me on this, said I was sad, gay, a loser...various insults which didn't bother me, I just listened to his BS and asked him this (paraphrased)...

"If you're playing in third person for anything from 10-100+ hours on an RPG would you rather be looking at a woman or guy running around?"

He couldn't answer...so what do you do?

EDIT: Thanks friendly mod! :D

Well if it's one of those completely open game i'll default to male, however it's an RPG where it's supposed to be a certain sex, but you have a choice, i'll go with whatever is intended by the developers.
 
should be "your" in...oh wait :D

Depends tbh..sometimes female, sometimes male..love interests for male PCs are so dull in RPGs :p

I went for male in ME just because he was on the box.
 
I normally make male characters but I must admit on Wow I paid to have the sex change on my druid - purely for some variety after many years looking at the same toon.

It felt good.
 
I'm asking because I finished Mass Effect today and by having a female character it led to what I can only describe as blurry soft core lesbian porn :D

I persome luiira ? :p ( I think her name is that) damm can't remember much now :mad:
 
Depends.

Anyone remember Quake 2 days when someone would pick a female char you didn't have...so it would just show the male grunt model but it would have all the female sounds.

sort of lol
 
Must admit untill recently i ALLWays went for males (wow, oblivion, fallout 3 etc) (mostly as i didnt want fat sweaty nerds chatting me up online) ..but recently i started playing oblivion + fallout 3 as female and i find it more entertaining! 1: They Look cooler than a Large sweaty guy running around the wasteland/Oblivion/Boren tundra etc.. . 2: ...okay ive over shot my self here.. there isnt a 2..but i must admit i would def be a lot mroe open to female chars (offline)

EDIT: OH 2: they have Boooooooooobies :D
 
all female chars in wow!

they look better animations are better the only good male race in wow is undead male!
 
Actually I usually choose a female character on guitar hero. The number of guys who either ridicule or 'chat me up' online assuming that I am a woman (I don't attach my mic when playing guitar hero) is ridiculous!
 
It varies, but I tend to default to female characters for some reason (I am male in case you couldn't guess) and have to consciously decide to play a male character. I have thought about this on occasions and come to the conclusion it is just one of those things :D.

I like to think it shows I am comfortable with my sexuality and don't need to show how much of a man I am, but it could be I am gay :confused:. I do agree with your point, its good to have something nice to look at if you are playing for many hours :D.
