I almost exclusively play as a male, as I like to get into the whole alternative fantasy life thing.

However, I do sometimes play a female PC, and have just started one (Rogue).

[Arkaelis]

I'm female but I usually play male characters. I'm strange like that.

How EXACTLY do you define "pure heterosexual?"

(GIGGLES!  Sorry, couldn't resist! )

If you want to put sexual orientation on a linear scale, I'm literally at the tip of the hetrosexual end.  Guy-on-guy literally creeps me out just thinking of it (I'm grimacing while typing this).
That said, the sexual orientation of other readers is no real business of mine, and I don't believe in labeling and treating them as less than people just for that.

Really?  I don't think that's because you're super-straight.  In studies of sexuality it's been found that super-straight guys are typically turned on by either heterosexual or lesbian porn, and the second may be even more effective.  On the other hand, I'm not aware that gay men have much interest in lesbian porn or vice versa.  And going by the sheer volume of slash fiction written by women, women frequently find male homoeroticism erotic.  So I think that's more of a personal preference on your part than due to sexual orientation.

My GM in LoTRO was a woman playing male toon. Her husband had all female toons though. My gaming partner (a guy irl) had a female toon too.
We girls played tanks and guys were healers/support.

Since the game has pretty decent voice chat we were all babbling all the time..... had few funny moments when we would let some guy thinking our boys were girls join our party.

Male here. Usually play male characters, but I've recently started female characters, 1 for every race.

[JHDROCKER]

Im a dude and i usualy split between playing as a man and a female and completed the game a couple of times with both genders, at the moment im playing as a Male Dwarf Commonor and a Female Elven Mage and im enjoy both equally, not to mention its nice to experience the diffrent romances, Alistar is such a charmer, if i were gay or a woman i would be smitten, so instead Morrigan and her 'i dont care about the world' personality makes me consider dupping my own lass and finding a crazy chick who lives in the wild to marry, ah if only such things were possible.

[krullstar]

When you watch a movie, play a game or read a book, does the hero have to match your gender for you to enjoy it?



I have probably created the most beautiful female character for this game and believe me, as a straight guy, it is far more enjoyable watching her than it would be with some male character.



Some guys commented it is awkward playing a female character due to the love scenes and dialogue. I suppose it can be but that is due to the perspective you take on when playing the game.



My perspective: I am the invisible man who has the ability to influence characters. Simple as that.

Since I´m a man and you see your chars backside most of the time, I prefer playing a female character.
That easy.
Besides, my elf is one of the hottest chicks I´ve ever seen. Damn that she isnt real........

No, but I enjoy it much much more if the hero does match my gender.
I just cant get into a game when I try to play male. It feels awkward. It feels wrong on too many levels. It creeps me out.
I have to develop some kind of bond with my characters to play them and I cant develop anything alike with male characters. I simply cant.

But, as I already said, my main MMO gaming partner is a man who plays female characters in lot of occasions and I never found it wierd. I find it completely normal. And no, he is not ****** or even bi.

[trueKieran]

Male player playing both. Traditionally, my first char is a male fighter, but also traditionally my second is either a female mage or female archer. For some reasons, that not even I know, I like rather stereotypic chars. For example I started all origins in this game, both dwarfs are fighters (though one is female) and both elves are rogues (would have made a mage too, but since that origine is the same for all...).



To all those who just play one kind of a character, give it a try to make another different one, what do you have to loose? After all what's the point in a RPG if you just play "yourself".

I gave it a try. Several times. It was my worst experience in any game and didnt last very long.

I like games, even RPG games but I lack ability to be "somebody else". My true character always pops out at some point and screws all my effort no matter how I try. We are all different people you know.

Indeed, and it's good that way. If you tried it and didn't like it, there's no point in doing it. I'd just advise everyone to at least try it once, for I feel that's a nice side effect of a RPG, getting to see things from a different point of view, for example as someone mentioned the way npcs react to another race or gender.

While I do know what you mean and I'm sure most do too... that's not a good argument per se, as one could easily answer that magazine you are reading is just paper.

I'll play a male or female character, doesn't really bother me, if I made a warrior though it would probably be male, only because it seems more fitting since males are stronger physically by nature. It would just be weird seeing a female warrior doing the same things Sten or Oghren could with a battle axe when she clearly does not look anywhere near as in shape as those characters.



Having said that a human or dwarf really fits a warrior best imo.

I play both, though I guess more female characters (being a female myself). I just want to try out all romances and all conversation options.

[Shadeling]

I'm female irl and I'm only interested in playing female characters.



In fact, I won't bother with any game that won't allow me to play a female character. Loved Fable 2, didn't bother with Fable because you could only play as a male. Just not interesting to me whatsoever.

[Klickklack]

I started playing as a male character but i will also play the game with a female character too. I want to see every part of the game.

[Cuddlezarro]

Im male and generally play male characters most of the time, though I did play through as a female city elf 2 handed sword using warrior who's personality is closer to Rambo than your stereotypical elf and had much fun doing it

[rrphillip]

Male here. And I normally make my choice on which what I think looks good. So for Dorf's I play/roleplay males. Where as Human its female. I tried playing as an Elf male and female both and I dident like either of them.



I don't sit down and go over the whole "I want to be a sexy looking girl with double D's, two katana's and I have to be a god before level 2" I always play as "Good" first, then if I feel like it has any replay value I make an "Evil" toon. I rarely go for a "Neutral" And in all this I make the pick on which sex I'll play based on what I think looks the most kick-ass.

[BelgarathMTH]

I'm gay, and I always play male - I've tried playing females to do the /M romances, but I just can't identify with a female toon.



Unfortunately, I'll never get to do the gay romance in DAO because I can't stand the character you can do it with. Absolutely can-not-stand. I threw him out of my party as soon as I could get him back to camp. (I don't want to kill him or send him away, because I'm into constructing a full group portrait of all the characters in my party change screen.)



I still await a game that has a M/M romance option where the romanceable character is actually attractive to me. Although, kudos for the devs for stepping in the right direction.



I saw a mod somewhere that would make all the romanceable male characters bisexual, but the installations instructions for it were too complicated for me.



Oh well.

[Estvan]

Male and I play male, maybe far into the future I will play female but I dont see it happening right now, I like to roleplay my character as myself in the game world and make the decisions closest to what I would do or say in rl. It would be impossible to do that if my character was a female.
