Your in game characters...male or female?

If its an MMO, then usually always male, unless females can be a different class or something.

For single player games i'll pick whichever i feel like when i create my character, female Shepard for example.
 
Depends, either I guess although I'd say 75% of my characters are normally female. Examples:

WoW - Both
Q2/Q3/QL - Female
Mass Effect - Both
STO - Female
EQ - Male
Dragon Age - Female
LOTRO - Both

I guess a lot of my choice comes down to how good the models are. Not in a sense of "mmmm boobs", but more the way of how they move, their animations and so forth.
 
I mix between them. Honestly when given the choice why would I consistently choose the generic option that just aligns with my own gender? I'm male but enjoy playing as both just for fun. Look at it this way, I can play a game as a man which is a bit more gritty and seemingly tougher or a woman who is then seemingly cooler for standing out more (less tough women) and can look at her ass whenever I want :D

It's not like it's really me. I'm not an armour wearing soldier or a gun toting terrorist so why attach it to me? I like making stories up for my characters (mostly in RPG) and I'm not into a sausage fest world.

Male... because I'm male.

I still don't get why other IRL males choose females... the whole "I choose a female because I prefer to look at a female arse you big gayer" arguement is just stupid... :p

I hate to break this to you, but do you know what gay guys like looking at? It's not girls. Think about that next time you're enjoying watching your male avatar...
 
Both, especially if the game is entirely different when you play as a different gender, like Mass Effect or Dragon Age. I must say I prefer the female character on Mass Effect 1/2, mostly because the voice acting for fem Shepard is so much better than the male.

Who actually watches their avatar? Surely that makes the game a little tricky? I don't know about you but I'm watching what I'm attacking, who I'm talking to and in some games who I'm doing the dirty with :p
 
if it's n ot important to the game male.


if it;s an rpg with different stats for each whichever suits the build.


Fallout 1/2 some times male so i can sleep with the female npcs to gain access to buildings at night, sometimes female so she can whore herself out to get some money off :o
 
Depends on the game, voice acting if any, animations and poses.
At the end of the day, they are all pixels on a screen.
In my wow days, my toon was a female, because I didn't like the male BE jumping animation and the wavey hand thing they did when channeling a spell.. not because the female was good to look at.
I quite often had to defend myself when I played a female, "I'm playing so I can perve at her", I never thought like that.. so obviously meant the people that brought it up had something deep set in the back of their heads.
