I always look both of them... My character's one and Leliana's one... two are better than one... IMHO, obviously

im male and in games where you create a chracter i almost always choose female, dont know why

[PinkStatic]

i don't - playing a male is just so.. regular and normal! The badass chick is always intriguing i think. There are enough testosterone filled hero-trousers as is (from Gordon Freeman to Jim Raynor) - well, that isn't some japanese creation anyway. It's nice to have another Samus Aran when possible

I'm male and almost always play female characters (though I didn't in ME). The one time I played a male character in DA:O I made it to Lotherign before re-roling as a female. Though that may have had more to do with the 'violent' voice than the fact the character was male. As such, I am still missing the Morrigan romance achievement...

There's already an abundance of male warrior characters. I just like the image of a badass warrior woman who can kick seven shades of sh*t out of every male party member. Plus you get Sten's classic 'I don't understand, you look like a woman' dialogue.

I agree with Ceskay. I enjoy reading books with both male and female lead characters and will play as either sex as a PC. If the game is well written, it is usually an interesting experience and sometimes an eye-opener..

[Sabriana]

I play females exclusively. Simply because it feels weird to me playing as a man, not because I dislike men. It feels distant and detached to me playing a male.

Heck, I tried one once, and promptly lost him in a melee-free-for-all. I couldn't quite figure out who and where the heck my male PC was. Lasted only for a moment, but still.

To me it heavily depends on the game. For instance Diablo 2. I prefer to play a barbarian and barbarians don't come in female shape. If they did I would probably go for a female character. It's more fun to have a female character after years of games overflowing with male heros. THANK YOU LARA CROFT!

But in DAO I started my first character as a woman. But that doesn't mean I identify with the character. She's a sturdy dwarf and I am a skinny tall person irl. I have short red-ish brown hair with side fringe while my dwarven woman has golden hair in a tight, small ponytail. ...and she's a helluva lot better at kicking ass than I am!

I have created a male dwarf too but don't play him much yet. He's still stuck in Redcliffe, first scenario. I intend to create characters to eventually romance Alistair and Morrigan, but it's not on the top of the list right now.

Edit:

YAAAAAY! My data has been uploaded (had account issues). If you look, yes I have two people exactly the same with the same name. The first will be deleted eventually. I am doing this for personal reasons.

I play as both... I'm a guy but it's fun to see the way other people react when I change gender/class. Ya know? Why not. I usually make my guys first however then follow up with a female character who ends up doing better than the male so I never play that male character again because he has NOTHING GOOD....

[IcemanII]

I´m male but i play as both.. I like having my Rouge Ranger with AoS.. And i have a nice male lvl 25 too so i try both.. I always do that, in wow its depending on the race, i rather want to play human female than male but with tauren i only play as male..

[uber_shnitz]

Just a quick argument to those saying playing the opposite sex as you is disturbing...



You don't HAVE to have a romance in order to complete DA...

Very good point. I personally don't get the problem with guys not being able to romance a male npc despite their character being female. It's not like the guy player is doing something with the male npc. But to each their own.

[EverlastingFantasy]

I play both..

[AerisBru]

My first playthrough is always as a female. Just because I like the immersion, to act like MYSELF in that situation. I create an avatar of myself. In DA: O my first character even resembles myself physically.



Then, I play with complete opposites of me, just to satisfy my curiosity.

[PunkNouveau13]

I think I'm more inclined to play the female. Personally, I can connect with the character more (since I'm a female) and base their decisions on what I might do in that given situation. But, on my last play, I'm going to play as a male. Mainly cause I need the Morrigan achievement, also so I can be a little bit evil. :-p

Nice point of view. I estimate you so much !!!
I have told several times that was not my intention to offend someone if I don't wanna romance male character with my female characters.. And if so, I have already apologized for it.
In past games, where I had no options of woman on woman romances I agreed however games and I simply ended them without romances...For sure I was not crying for this!
I think anyone is free to decide by his own way... as devs allow us to do this...
I believe that, until everyone respects every chooses that people do, don't write offensive sentences in forums or similar, everyone is free to play his characters with sexaulity he/she likes more, and is free to decide if his/her character will be eterosexual, omosexual or bisexual... and no one have to sentence him/her for this. Just reciprocal respect..it's the only way..I think it's not so difficult...at least to me...

I'm a guy who has so far used a male Human Noble and male Dwarf Commoner and a female mage and female city elf.  I had a lot more fun playing as a woman.  It just seemed to open up so many more dialogue options and cause you're fighting prejudice if your a mage or elf and the occasional sexist comment.  My current PC, Killian the City Elf, is a feminist, man/human-hater (c'mon, she killed Connor without remorse). She's a lot of fun.

I haven't had any same-sex relationships, however.  I figured my City Elf would go after the only other elf in the group (Zev) or Leliana, cause she's a lady.  But as I played with the PC, I came to the conclusion that she's more a human-hater than strictly a man-hater.  For me, romance and relationships depends on the character, not on my morals as a player (which happen to be loose).

Guy here.

I tend to create female characters first and seem to like my female characters more in any game I play. I tend to end up with an equal amount of male and female characters by the end though.

[TyroneTasty]

I've played both. It's all just RPing really. I have found I actually have an easier time pursuing romances playing as a woman, as I am in a relationship and it's just weird to make an effort to make some imaginary woman fall in love with me. Yeah, I know that sounds weird. Playing a woman there is a disconnect so that awkwardness tends to dissapear, plus I enjoy watching an attractive female hero for 50 hours rather than some guy who may or may not look kind of like me.

Or maybe I'm just more attracted to Alistair than to Morrigan or Leliana...hmmmm.

I always play a male mage or cleric first (or as close as I can come, so a biotic in ME). Second playthrough is typically female. In DA I went with a city elf rogue -- that origin seemed interesting for a female character. After that it depends on what seems interesting.

[Feraele]

Female player, tend to play female characters. Its my belief we need more female heroes in the world...hehehe

[ankuu]

I am a female and i really like female char. There are too many male protagonists in everything...more girl power!! xD

[Special_Agent_Goodwrench]

I always created male characters in RPGs, so when DA came out I decided to create a female to make things a bit different. Man, I grew so attached to her, that after I beat the game, I started a new game with exactly the same character, because for some reason, It didn't feel right when I was playing as anyone else I created.

[Xaila]

I'm a woman who more often than not plays male PCs. I honestly don't get why people find it so strange. Maybe it's because I don't internalize my characters as "me", but as their own little entities. In that way its much easier to play as someone totally different than myself.



I played through DA:O with characters of both genders and they were both equally engaging/rewarding experiences.

[Axekix]

I've played both but only completed the game as a male so far. 

I actually think I like the fit of a female PC a bit better for the storyline, but I'm fickle and usually end up wanting to try something different 1/2 way through.  My male war however was such a beast I never looked back!

I know the feeling.  I remade my female elf mage at least 5x over... maybe one of these days I'll actually finish the game with her!

Thtats pretty much the way I go about RPGs where I can create a character.
I'm a guy, but I play both genders in games because like you said, its not an extension of me. I see it more like a character in a movie or a book.
