I find it funny. I always choose a female avatar on all RPG games that I play. Mostly because the story lines are a little biased. But here on DA, I immediately started as male. And I actually don't know why. But I like it. I'm on my second run now but I still chose to be male. Maybe on my next runs.
I think it's because Morrigan is exclusive to males and she's pretty important.

The City Elf:Female does happen to be the best orgin story out of them all though.(just my opinion)
I belive its the only orgin that plays diffrent based on male/female.

And I totally dont care at all if you dont, or are annoyed if I do, or whatever.
And if you ask "why?" I have to ask back "wtf why not ???"
Its not like I would be an elf either, right ? Still I play elves.
Or like I would know magic, yet I love playing magic characters.
Same way, about 50% of my characters are female.

People pick the female because it's the only way to get the achievement for the romance with alistair. Alistair don't dig dudes!

I usually play male characters in video games, even though I'm female, but playing a woman in DA:O is very enjoyable. I never have to wonder if she moonlights as a stripper. Tje answer to your question is 'roleplay.' Some people do it , and want to experience all the content.miltos33 wrote...
It is probably easier for many girls to identify with a female character. On the other hand, many guys probably like having a beautiful female to watch for the duration of the game.

The genreal view in games is the female char or npc is weak and defencless, which is far from the truth, when i was first playing games, some of the icons i grew up to was Samus Aran, Sonya Blade (Mortal Kombat) and few others, for me it's respect, yes sometimes i paly as a male char, but i don't identify in the same way or enjoy playing the game, unless it's really good, as i do unless it's female, call me odd but just how i am.

I don't particularly feel the need to share gender to identify with a character, either. I'm already looking at the game world and making choices from a perspective that's incredibly detatched from my own, but that doesn't make me incapable of empathising. So, why not?

Seriously..... Why? Unless your a girl in real life.... But why does boys pick chicks? Seriously I never picked a girl gender in a game Ever in my entire life...
Because if i'm gonna spend 100+ hours staring at someone's behind, better be a female one

Indeed at least a third of my wardens are female.
It gives the game... a different flavour.
