This is a silly thread.

Why does it really matter who you play? It's a game. I've played female humans more than males simply because I unlocked more skin options for them first and could make them look cooler.

[Ryuu814]

Yeah. I only tend to do it if I mess up on the powers on the male version and can't be bothered to waste a respec card, only to get another respec card in a pack >_>.
Or if it fits into my RP perspective of things XD. That's about it.

Get over it.
I like playing as different characters...

[1490]

Also, the OP mentioning "feeling like a crossdresser" playing an Asari is just silly. Do you feel like a crossdresser watching a movie with a female protagonist? I'm secure enough with my masculinity that I don't care who I play. Personally, I've always thought Asari looked really cool with their facial "tattoos," so I like playing them. Plus AA and justicar are just awesome.

I'm a man, but I am going to use a female avatar to express just what I think of this thread.



Do I threaten your conservative masculine ways OP?

I actually think Meer done a better job than Hale, she tries too much. But on topic i play both male and female characters since i like changing things up all the time.

It's two different actors' interpretations of the same script, so naturally the characters they play will be completely different as well.  In MP, M and F are practically identical: even physically there is very little difference in appearance.  I really hardly notice.

Female Adept and Female Vanguard. Don't know why really. Maybe its cause I want some variety.

Krogan (Sentinel, Soldier, Battlemaster) - Male
Drell (Adept) - Male
Bartarian (Soldier) - Male
Turian (Sentinel) - Male
Salarian (Engineer, Infiltrator) - Male
Human (Battlefield 3) - Male
Geth (Engineer, Infiltrator) - Male Voice
Asari (Adept, Vanguard) - Female
Quarian (Engineer) - Female

I'm beginning to wonder, do you guys end up playing as Human Female characters in MP?

I can understand making a female Shep in SP, Hale does beat Meer by a considerable margin (Particularly in the first game!) but really, in MP?
Granted I am a bit conservative on the subject, playing as an Asari would make me feel like a cross-dresser of sorts, but really?  Playing a HUMAN femaie?

I can understand guys playing as an Asari or Quarian, they do have cool power sets... but it really wierds me out when someone's character shows up as "human female" and the voice talking is male.

Well, this is starting to look like a whiny post instead of an inquisitive one...

Restatement,
Do guys play as human females (and vice versa), if so why and generally with what frequency? 

Not sure if trolling or just incredibly insecure about his sexuality.
But to answer your question, female infiltrators feel and look more nimble, and with my colour scheme I resemble a Nemesis which I really enjoy the concept of.

Honestly it's weird for me seeing male players play as cutesy female characters in games, but the female humans in MP aren't cute looking at all, so I'm okay with it. They actually look pretty cool. There's a sex appeal in them but barely - I think they were designed well.

[a ViciousFerret]

My Vanguards are female (because of SP)
Soldiers are male
Adepts are Female
Engineers are male
Sentinels are female

Dunno, I guess I associate biotics with females?

I think that that discomfort comes with the personification of that character.  Many players see their character as themselves, and so to them playing a character vastly different from themselves (such as a male playing female) makes them uncomfortable.  I tend to see my character more as a one being observed, like in a book, rather than as a personification of myself.  For instance, none of my SP Shepards act or look like me because I don't see them AS me.  Other people, especially those who have been around RPing for a while, like to play characters vastly different from themselves because they get to "be themselves" every day in real life, so it makes it more interesting to play something different.  I think that's why a lot of males choose to play female.

[Irkalla]

How about females playing pink coloured male humans? Does that offend your conservative ways, OP?

[Baerdface]

None of your f***ing business, tbh.

And yeah, it's only weird if you're insecure about your sexuality. Stop projecting your problems.

I play with female Vanguard and Soldier.
The male model is overly bulky for my taste, I prefer the idea of someone being really agile and nimble. Having a bulky guy makes me feel like I am a retard that can't do anything else so he just works out a lot.

As for Sentinel and Adept I play as male when I do. They are fit like they are suppose to be, not overly bulky or anything.

[1490]

As some people mentioned also, it's nice to mix it up for distinguishment purposes. The human soldier/vanguard, engineer/infiltrator, and adept/sentinel share the same models. If I'm going to have a human engineer and infiltrator, I'd rather do 1 female and 1 male so they look different from each other.

[LostinJersey]

I play as both. I like having the option of different builds on the same kit for different situations. It's also useful if I realized I could improve upon my initial build but I don't have a reset card.

[Hathur]

Well now I'm just tempted to make a male character in ME3 just to annoy the OP... wait.. does it apply if women play males? Does that trouble you too?

Either way... he'll be named "Manly-Manny" .. and he'll wear neon pink armor ... and use only the littlest pistol possible.

I dont have a problem with this if someone plays a female char as male
its just a bunch of pixels its a game, you should not limit yourself playing
anything just because someone may find it wierd or wrong , ive played
1 female soldier then went to infiltrator since then ive pretty much been
switching between salarian , krogan and now Geth

Note : this is not attack on people who do not like seeing this its my opinion
just sayin it doesnt bother me if a male plays female i do it myself too and
think nothing of it for the rest.

[Ni7mare Shadow]

I usually would start off as a male and then mess up my skills. So, rather than use up one of my respec cards (only have 2), I'd rather just switch to the female version. Wondering why males play as females is the same as wondering why humans play as aliens... Pointless and stupid.

[Gwinever]

mainly cause i like to stare at a womans behind the whole match rather than a male's behind.
in every game when i'm alowed to have a female character i will play 1 because of that reason, i don't roleplay to be female so no, i don't feel like i'm crossdressing (or whatever you wanna call it) i'm just being a guy.

tbh, i don't rly get why people don't get that.

a very large number of people do, I find the fact that you are insecure about it to be more telling then dudes running female toons (which  I will admit to doing quite often).

in some games, like monster hunter, the girls have much nicer looking armor.

This, chauvanistic a fok but that's how it goes.
Similarly my gay friends prefer a male character.

[Lajkos]

depends if the armor looks better on females. or if i want a different spec than what i went with the male but don't want to use a respec card or promot, making a female is perfect
