Well, in real life i am female, so i have played as a female character.

Just wondering if any males play as females?

I'm tempted to create a sexy hunky male lol.

I'm male playing as male warrior as male suits the class. When I decide to try a different class, it would probably be a female mage, for the same reason.

I play a male in this game, but have played as a female in RPGs and wouldn't mind playing as one in this game. I typically like to play a male in story-driven games with romance options, as I feel uncomfortable doing romantic or sexual dialogue trees with dude NPCs. I'm also playing Demon's Souls as a female char but that has little in the way of story so it doesn't make a big difference.

Not to be rude, but I have to answer your question with a question. If you are playing a game for 30+ hours, why wouldn't you want to watch a member of the opposite sex jiggle there thing? Unless you are gay....not that there's anything wrong with that.

I play the game as a man in real life. I'm a man. It's not something that's easy to change and, definitely, not something I'm willing to change. So I can't play the game as a woman (and I won't dress up as one to do that, either).

As for the characters in-game: I've played using main characters that are guys so far. I've got guys and girls queued up from the CC for future run-throughs.

You have deficiencies that must be satisfied with pixel avatars.

I'm male but I'm playing a female at the moment (based on an old D&D char I made many years ago) and going through the city elf scenario is brilliant. I wanna run through it again though as a male to see the differences.



This is the kind of game where you need to play the game as both I think. :)

So... CGI characters turn you on or off?

depends on the game, the character models and what can be done with the character.

a game like this where you basically can control every aspect of your character's appearance (ok- customize not control), i come up with some archetypes that are interesting to play as.

i have a human noble who is a female rouge swashbuckler type.

shes pretty much a lesbian but might take advantage of the zerevan 4 some.

on the other hand- i have a twisted skeletor looking (made the char, then aborted) human mage type that looks one step away from being the crypt keeper.

he will basically be a male version of morrigan (evil, looking for power and looks down on everyone).


generally i'll lean towards playing as a female because if i have to stare at a character model for hours  on end, at least it should be a pleasing one to look at- IMO.

i haven't come up with any other options since the chars for humans are limited and sub humans seem to have more options in this game which is really disgusting IMO- there needs to be at least two more human related origins-

in a world dominated by humans, one would expect them to have more of a representation among the origin stories.


EDIT:

to the post above and similar ones:

aslo how is appreciating a cgi form any different than a photoshopped and airbrushed and re-touched maxim photo of a model that in real life you have just about as much chance of evern speaking to on the street in passing as you do with a non existant person computer graphic.

its all a matter of degrees- its one thing to create an in game char and role play them in line with the personality you have given them, whether that persona is based on what qualities you would like to see in yourself as the same sex, or characteristics you find attractive in a member of the opposite sex- (for those that aren't just creating a character they feel it would be "cool" to play with and do project thier own selves into the chars).

its quite another to obsess over either a woman/man behind a computer screen or behind a magazine cover/picture.

In Bioware games, I feel it's a must (for me) to do at least one play through as a male, and one as a female. I also usually start with a good leaning character, then a morally ambiguous character. Usually my third or fourth play through is as a corrupt (closed fist, renegade, Dark Side, Chaotic Evil) character, even though I believe a truly evil character will always appear to be neutral throughout most of the game. Playing sides for personal gain FTW!

Back to the subject:  You have to play both male and female in Bioware games to get the full range of subtle world and NPC differences.

Play male now that I'm older and now that some games have options to do romance,not comfortable (awkward)doing romance if my pc is female.

I have nothing against people of same sex just I'm straight.



But I do play female when I solo in MMO's not in groups.

I am not roleplaying when playing this kind of game. Im more the one to give my group advises.



Im a male but i like to play Female chars. I Think it goes all the way back to Tomb Raider 1.

You know .. "dont hurt my girl or i get nasty"



In this game i choosed a female rouge. I think the female char fits well on a rouge.



I like females a lot in real life and I like them to be in my computer games too.



My online name here is taken from a char i had in diablo II. A blizz Sorc.

When playing RPG's and creating characters I start to imagine the game world and then my characters role in it. Sort of my own character development, what ever speaks to me at that moment I create. More often than not I play throught at least once as a female and once as a male. I am a guy in RL but play both in RPG's.

i think my outlook on the char changed significantly since my original creation.

basically originally she wanted to be a duelist, not to actually ever see war, but to be the best swordswoman in the land- something springing from her noble origins and life of lesure and luxury. snobby, spoiled noble "paris hilton" type of child.

to a basically good and helpfull to the downtrodden, but somewhat morally ambiguous practical person tempered and changed by her origin story's events and effectively "thrown into the real world" after the basic beginning story and quest events.

if she can do the right thing good- if she can turn a profit while doing the right thing (she still enjoys the finer things in life, wine, women, money, etc.)- even better.

unfortunately this game doesn't have alcohol or drug use in it- well, not counting "gift" items.

i guess i could have her swig lyrium potions, but thats just well.... hollow.

- knowing some of the convo options in the game however, pretty much sets my next playthrough on course for bieng a truly evil one where the elves and dwarves will get the genocide they so richly deserve.

In DAO it's actually more of a difference than in earlier games.

It's not huge by any stretch, but there are quite a bit more gender specific dialogues and comments than I expected.

as usual in bioware game, as male my first char is a male. Then i play at least one girl. Just skipping the small cutscene.

There is also a gay and a lesbian romance available. But i must admit i will probably never try the gay one.

I don't think that's true. There have been female warriors throughout history, and in fiction as well. This game borrows some of its atmosphere from the Game of Thrones series, and Brienne of Tarth is a great example of a female warrior who would be at home in Dragon Age. 

For the record, I'm a guy, and I'm currently playing a female character in Dragon Age. Story-wise, I like the dialogue options...it makes you a bit of an outsider, and sets you apart from the average warrior in the world. I've never liked the "I prefer to look at a female while I'm playing" excuse. If I want to look at girls, there are other places for that. I play female characters in RPGs because I feel like it. That's all the excuse I need; I'm secure enough in who I am that I don't need my game avatars to broadcast what I manly man I am. I play fantasy games to experience something different.

lol you're being sexist against yourself.

Personally I like playing female warriors. Most of the female characters I create in RPGs are warriors.  I like that "Joan of Arc" archetype of a noble female heroine in full plate battling the forces of evil.

Decided to game with a female dwarven mage on the first go around even though I am a male.
