I'll play whatever you throw at me if the game's good.



That said, when it comes to RPG's, I usually play as a male first and female later.

[Tosheroon]

I play both males and females, depending on the game. For example, the male character VO in Mass Effect was of such stereotypical Hollywood slant that it actually annoyed me after some 5 hours. So I completed that game as a female character, and enjoyed the story.



Luckily DA:O has no PC VO, so I can choose male or female depending on the mood I'm in or as inspiration takes me. I usually come up with better female names than male for some reason though.

I play both male and female characters. Used to play more female characters to be honest but as RPGs have become more immersive and more complex I tend to play in line with my actual sex - i.e. male.

My first play through in DAO was as a male character but I have now started a female play through.

What I find interesting is that a lot of people talk about romance options as being important - in that "I am male but I couldn't play a female because I don't really want to explore a romance with another male" (and the romance option is the principal difference; esp. in DAO).

I'm bi and so the romance itself I have no problem with. What I've found increasingly difficult is role-playing a female character as a female. I will mostly likely play a given game the same whether I am playing male or female.

I'm male and I just come up with characters and then play what sounds like fun. My first character was a female Dalish elf but I've got both male and female characters planned for my next playthroughs. I play D&D too and I've got plenty of female characters in there too. I don't have any real reason for playing female characters, they're just the characters that I tend to come up with I guess.

[krullstar]

The female character I created is far too hot to bother playing a male character.  If someone though could take my creations and switch them with Morrigan and Leliana then I would roll as  a male.  What can I say, I am superficial when it comes to looks. especially if I have to be watching that character for hours and hours.

Well I am male.

The characters I play are not myself.

Meaning I dont try to make the characters look like myself, and they are of both genders.

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........

.....they are polygons, not actual flesh...you do know this....i hope.....

Yea, I know. It´s just... sometimes I wish she was real and not only polygons. Its a sad world, where  polygons can be more attractive than real people. But its reality. Damn reality. It sucks.

I'm a man playing men only. I wouldn't feel comfortable playing a woman when romantic interests are such a prominent part of the game.

Curious, when you watch Angelina Jolie in a movie do you feel uncomfortable if there is a love scene wit her in it? How about Kate Beckinsale in Underworld? In both movies the women are the main characters and yet, I bet not a single straight man would complain about a love scene featuring either.

Thats how I view my female character (the smokin hot one above). She is simply starring in DAO where I have some directorial input.

I remember for Baldur's Gate II, I would ALWAYS play as a male character (I'm female IRL). Then for some crazed reason that I don't even remember, I started up a female fighter for giggles just to see what was different and from then on, I always played female in BG.

Perhaps I was a masochist, since I had Anomen with me...



It never hurts to try something new in a game, but I do tend to play male characters overall in games where I have a choice.

[Cybercat999]

I just played male character to have sex with Morrigan.

I feel dirty now

Actually, that's mostly the reason I made a male character in DAO. 

In BG I used to play males, well one male, since that was the only way to romance Jaheira, who happened to be my favourite romanceable option in the game.

I'm a man playing men only.cant see myself playing as a female,call me old fashioned.

i'm a guy and my first was a male. but i'm playing a female now to see how the npc's react to the opposite sex. really interesting so far.

[Mr Fishy420]

Both. I win.

[Sensorie]

Males who refuse to play as females due to potential romances with male NPCs; males who prefer to play as females because they want someone attractive to control; gamers who feel uncomfortable playing as the opposite sex because they can't identify with the character.

For me it's simple: I control characters; they can be any race or gender; I have fun as long as they suit the role I choose for them.

I won't however use a female for my forum avatar, unless I had a certain intention or some ulterior motive.

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.

PC version? If it's just the appearance that bothers you, you can change it into something more appealing. I myself use version 2 of ASKs Zevran Replacements. Then again I still do prefer Alistair in terms of his character and voice.

You either fail at trolling, or you're just moronic.

I was thinking someone would have commented on my female creation!?
Actually, it would be interesting to see some of the hottest female characters created by players - maybe someone should start a top 10 list or something.

Call me strange (or pathetic), but I could spend days just creating beautiful women characters. Its kind of like sculpting... so far I have stuck to brunettes as I have a preference for them... but guess I could consider blondes

The Prettiest Character Contest is dominated by female creations.

If you use the toolset to create your characters, then you could easily swap out Morrigan or Leliana.

I seldom or never identify with female characters, in Underworld for instance, Michael Corvin was "my" man - the one I identified with. Selene was "just" a stunningly hot chick in a skin-tight leather suit.

Do you play as female or male?

Yes.
