Calax Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I play both. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Volourn Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Both. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Gorth Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Male/Both. Depends on the game really. If there is a difference in game experience, I play first as male, then eventually as female. My spare girl "Gwynn" will have to do the dishes while "Gorth" is on vacation then. If there is none or only neglible difference, I play male. Being male is sort of what I'm most experienced with :)" The one exception is Tomb Raider, but choice of sex is not really an option there “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Deraldin Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 If there is none or only neglible difference, I play male. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I do the exact opposite. If there is little to no difference I'll play female. Mainly because I prefer to stare at a female avatar for 40+ hours than a male avatar. "

Hurlshort Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Bloodlines was the only game I actually played through as a girl. Typically I stick with males, and also human instead of other races. I guess I just like playing myself in these games, albeit a more physically fit and better with swords self.
LadyCrimson Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) I said both. If I have a choice, I'll usually play female for the first run. Unless they're really fugly, then I may go with the male first... If there's an actual reason to try the other gender (plot points or chr. skills) and I like the game enough to play it more than once, I'll pick the other later. Occasionally I might pick gender based on the character I'm creating - ie if I wanted a Drizzt-based chr. I'd pick male. But that's not too typical for me, since I don't roleplay to that level very much. Edited November 26, 2006 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

seejai Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 yeah... i definately like to relate and get way into the game so hence forth i do female (hmm... repeating myself??)

Pop Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I play male. If there's a significant gameplay difference, as in Fallout 2, I'll play both. But I couldn't manage to slog through BG as a female, since the game is actually worse with a female in that case (given the main difference between them is romance) Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Darque Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I always do both, if I play a game more than once. I like seeing games from different perspectives. Though usually there's very little difference story or gameplaywise.
XoXAlexOxO Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 i try to play male at least one time through, but ya, mostly female (probably because i lack the imagination to appriciate a male character )
Weiser_Cain Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 If there isn't romance options I always play female unless I can also be a lesbian, men are ugly Yaw devs, Yaw!!! (
Tigranes Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Both. I just don't pursue the female romance options, especially since it's hard to be attracted to Anomen... Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
Wistrik Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Male predominantly, but I'll try a female character from time to time, especially in the rare case where a female character will have skills/abilities a male character doesn't. Though not an RPG per say, I played female characters in D2 a lot because I preferred their skill sets (sorceress, amazon).
Dark_Raven Posted November 26, 2006 Author Posted November 26, 2006 I play mostly female. When I don't is usually when there is a romance, which playing as a male character they get the better romance options. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Sargallath Abraxium Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 ...usually I plays a bit o' both (first character always a male, then, if'n it be a good enuff game ta replay, I plays a femme on me next runthrough)...switched it up this time, though; runnin' through NWN2 right now with a femme Paladunce ('nother first fer me; usually I runs through a game a few times 'fore I hits the Paladunce class, but I figured a femme Aasimar Paladunce might be a nice change o' pace this time)... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died. For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way
Pidesco Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Both, but I usually start with female. It's Chun Li's fault. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian touristI am Dan Quayle of the Romans.I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.Heja Sverige!!Everyone should cuffawkle more.The wrench is your friend.
Ummi Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I just realized i've played females in almost all RPGs i've played recently. In HotU i kinda accepted Valens romancing and darn he kept calling me "my love" for the rest of the game. That got a bit freaky pretty quickly. I never finished HotU. If i ever get around to replaying NWN2 it'll be with a male char i swear :ph34r: In multiplayer games like WoW and Guild Wars i always play males though.
thepixiesrock Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I play male. I would have no problem playing female, if they actually made it more realistic. I mean, come on, a female hero? Maybe it would work if the quest was shoe-shopping, but a woman saving the world, and using all those heavy manly weapons? Come on. What they need are some dish-washing or sandwich making mini-games for female characters, that'd be more realistic.

karka Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Depends on the PC models. If female models are sexy i play as female.
Sand Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I bounce between male or female for my characters. Its usually based off a die roll. Even male, odd females.
