if i play male its kind of weird bc i dont get into it as much (im female btw)... i couldnt bring myself to flirt all that much with chicks

I play both.

Both.

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

If there is none or only neglible difference, I play male.

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. "

:D

 

A perfectly valid reason.

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.

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.

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

Both

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)

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.

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 )

If there isn't romance options I always play female unless I can also be a lesbian, men are ugly

Both. I just don't pursue the female romance options, especially since it's hard to be attracted to Anomen...

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).

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.

...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!!...

Both, but I usually start with female. It's Chun Li's fault.

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.

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.

Depends on the PC models. If female models are sexy i play as female.

I bounce between male or female for my characters. Its usually based off a die roll. Even male, odd females.

What the hell? I thought this was going to be an awesome thread and find.. this?

 

Next time, use the word GENDER, dammit!
