What the hell is with all these dudes playing female characters in a Role Playing Game?

 

[Warheadz]

The best argument I have ever heard for it is: " Why is it strange that I want to watch a female's ass for 40 hours of gameplay, and not a male's ass?".

Many people play RPG's because they want to play a role that isn't their own. Don't see a problem with it. For me, personally, playing a female character in RPG's can be hard.

^ This + F/F love  not to mention I love to be "renegade / baddie / queen ****" in game and I can only roleplay this as a girl (if i roll a dude, I'm inclined to be boring paragon / good guy)

Argument valid.

My conclution is that it depends on the gamer's level of horniness.

Where's the challenge in playing something you are every day? The whole point of roleplaying games is getting under somebody else's skin for a while.

For me, the deciscion of whether I'm gong to play male or female is just the same as all the others (class, appearance, alignment, background etc.), it's part of the particular character concept. Sometimes it's cool to play a brooding male mage, sometimes it's cool to play a smart-mouthed female rogue (and sometimes you just want a character whos voice doesn't sound like third rate soap-opera actor's *cough* maleShep *cough*). I think you should be a little more accepting of your fellow gamers and don't read to much into their gaming choices.

I like cognitive dissonance in the roles I play, or I'm a vegetarian, but if you can roleplay a cannibal I normally will jump at it.

I'm all for equality and freedoms, and burn passionately for it, but in games I love playing slavers and dictators.

And in fact if the character gets too close to me, I don't like it - and I sometimes play female characters in games, sometimes don't - it depends on several things.

Or in games like Fallout 1/2, BG1,2,TB etc. I play/played male characters 90% of the time, and female characters are normally delegated to my 5th or later playthrough.

With KOTOR and games like Jade Empire it starts to shift, and I'd say I play female characters 30% of the time here, in the 3rd or 4th playthrough.

When I first got ME1 I followed this pattern, but something about looking at this creepy dude, with a voice I so disliked made me unable to play through it even once, and I started 4-5 characters, all male, and then I decided to try a female Sheppard, and I finished that run. Now in ME1 & ME2 the table is turned, and I finish one male run only due to me being a completionist (cheating by keeping romance saves, so that I can romance them all in the same game, without restarting).

In the end though, I haven't played myself in a cRPG since FO1 and BG1, since I hated the idea of me trying to play me in the game, I want to the character to be different, someone else - and thus I have little issues with playing characters that are very unlike me, or rather I prefer them to be unlike me in almost everything.

And thus I mostly play cRPGs.


And I think the progression from mostly playing characters like me, to playing characters different from me is also due to a drive to play someone else game after game, I don't want to play the good and preachy paladin I played in BG2 no more, so I want something a little different all the time, thus I'm now often playing female characters in games like DA2.


In EVE, when the role is not present, and you don't roleplay (by default), I don't have female avatars - and generally I try to pick something that feels like it could be me.

I think it's a case of suppressed gender confusion. Also, a subconscious attraction to dress-up games.

[Dr Bawbag]

Each to their own i suppose. However, some do take it too far. They moan about lack of immersion in other areas of the game and the post combat splattered blood look, yet think nothing of running around with a toon dolled up to the hilt. Lipstick, mascara, pretty dyed hair, ridiculous hair do's and armour that wouldn't look out of place in a brothel.

I suppose that's the thrill of it though.

This is also a good reason, since I'm not the character, and I never feel like I am the character in cRPGs, and I don't even want to - I see the avatar as I look at Merrill or Leliana - a role/character that I follow through the game, I just get to pick how (s)he acts.

And I have no real interest in male romances, so f/f is preferred, since both characters are seen from a third person perspective, and I never feel that I'm there in the game.


That said I probably felt that it was partly me in games like FO2, but I don't no longer.

I'd like to say that I do it for the role-playing challenge and to broaden my experiences.

But it's really because I like seeing girl ass shaking from all the sexy running. Hey, if I'm gonna watch someone's ass run for hours and hours, it might as well be a girl, right? And I get to undress my toon in the inventory screen to boot.

[DocDoomII]

The ass reason said above.

That said, the running animation of female characters in DA2 make me think about a transvestite running in an over exaggerated feminine way.

I'm a woman who played The Witcher, ya know, the game with that tasteless sex-card collecting mini-game. I

One that is entirely optional?

When a heroic character, one known through out the lands before he died 5 years ago (from the start of the game) is supposed to be portraid as handsome and attractive to women, and enteriely safe (no STDs, no pregnancys) have the option to have sex with 11 or 13 women, and when instead of having to do all these animations they gave us cards instead? Cards that I would considering more erotic than porn (I seriously doubt any wanked off to them).

You hardly need to collect them, I never did, nor did I ever feel the need to, nor that the game pushed me to do so - I even feel good when I don't cheat on Triss in the game.

Or given that you have achivements for completing all romances in DA:O, you could argue more or less the same, that you are just there to collect the sex scenes -

You could ask why do female gamers play as a male (as in The Witcher)

Answer: because there is no option to play as a female.

In most games you can play as a male or female...which is how it should be.
And there is nothing wrong in a male playing as a female...the same as there is nothing wrong in a female playing as a male.

I nearly always play a female character. After so many years of most games having a male only PC, I like the ability. Besides that, I like the fact that my f-PC can be as hardcore as a male. As much as I really enjoyed The Witcher, the game's biggest flaw was being able to play only one race, besides being able to only play a male character.

I prefer the option, and would agree with you in most cases - but with the Witcher they don't have any CC abilities at all since it's an ARPG centered around the character of Geralt.

I would prefer it if they had made it about the world of the witchers, or a different world, but in this case they are trying to respect the books I think - the world created by the authour.

It comes with some negatives sure, and I would love to see an expansion in which you can play as Triss ~



A funny thing about games like the Witcher that forces you to restrict your charcter to either gender, or in the case of the Witcher to a certain character, is that they make me play female characters, different characters, in games were I can do so (I'm a straight male), since the lack of options in some games forces me into certain types of characters and roles, and since I want to play different roles when possible it drives me to play female characters in games like DA2.



EDIT: And I've never played a female character in any MMO, since I rarely roleplay in MMOs .



& I would actually like to see some Witcher like cRPG that forces you to play a female character ~ I wonder how it would sell, I'd probably get it if it was any good (something unrelated to what gender you are forced to play).

simple answer : Role Play

a question that answer your question : Why there so many guy who disguise themself in girl for halloween

My personnal choice : my favorite class is a mage, and usually male mage look gay in with their robe... so it is a way easy for me to play as a female mage. And you have to look at your toon all the time you play, so he better look good

I am a very manly man in RL, any male character I could create would be an effeminate sissy compared to meB)




Naaa, seriously though, I just like to play things I can´t do in RL. I can be (and actually am) male all my life. no need to continue it in an RPG.

[nicethugbert]

I never play females. But, in a more cinematic game like DA2, it could be easier, as easy as watching TV/Movies.

[ToJKa1]

Boobs. Any more questions?

It seems like I am a minority. I like to play RPG's and play characters that are like me as much as possible. That way I can, in a sense, put myself to situations I could never experience in "real life". I might try some other roles too, but my first playthrough is always a copy of me, if possible.

[Fidget6]

because it's fun to play a character that's not yourself? Besides, I like b*tchy, badass girls in my entertainment. :]
