Definitely. I love RPGs for this reason. The option to play different races and genders allows me to connect so much better with my character.
Do you play a character of the opposite sex than you?

I used to flip a coin to figure out what gender I'd play as, got quite a few female characters that way in DA:O. Now I do the opposite gender of the one I played before since, I got tired of playing as female for about 8/10 of my playthroughs.

Why not? One thing I love about DA games is their replayability. Finish the game with different type of hero, different personality, and different gender is pretty fun IMO. Each play through give you a new experience

Yes. Most of the time, in fact.

Well its kinda "forced" on me 80% of the time with the games I play for the past 20 years - so I really dont have a choice in the matter soooo: yes I do, OP. And tbh I dont care. I have no real qualms, when theyre decent games with a plot and or characters (even gameplay) that I like - it really doesn't matter to me.. but I will admit its nice (refreshing) to get a respectable female protagonist option every now and again..

I play both, usually male 1st then female the next game.

Male is generally my default option though I have no problem playing a female protagonist.

I have no problem playing a female character, but then I liked things like Buffy and Xena. I guess I just like badass female protagonists. My last ME playthrough was the first time I played Femshep and I must say I loved Hale's acting more than Meer's. I preferred Jo Wyatt's Hawke, too.

I tend to play both, male 1st then female, then it depends on VA's, gender specific content, customisation choices.

I usually play as a female but I do at least one male playthrough as well, just to see the differences. I'll do more then one male playthrough if I'm interested in more than one of the male romances. In DAO I had 2 male playthroughs (romanced Morrigan and Zevran), but only one in DA2 (romanced Isabela), ME (romanced Ashley) and ME2 (romanced Jack) and none in ME3. Though I may go back and try one in ME3 eventually to see the ending of the Ash romance.

I generally play as both genders.
But as far as Bioware games go, I generally play female first to try and influence their statistics. If I play male, I turn my feedback option off. I just have this paranoia that I need to do this so that we don't lose gender options, like we lost race options.

I play alot of Females but usually mix in Males too. In DA2 I was pretty even. In DAO I had some male dwarves and never got around to female dwarves until recently. I think I was pretty even between male and female in DAO too.

I'm quite happy to play both. For whatever reason, I prefer playing females in Dragon Age. Prefer male in Mass Effect and most other games, though.

Sometimes, it depends on what there is to experience. I've never done a Male City Elf or a Male Dwarf
Commoner for example.

When I have the option, I play female characters. I just have difficulty playing as a male character, though I did play DAO as a male once to see the Morrigan romance.

I guess because there are so many male protags I just njoy playing them more and weirdly can role play them better. Still my Hawke was good. I made her specifically for the Sebastian romance. And it was pretty cool. I am female and am just getting into playing female characters. I have to admit renegade femshep is amazing and is my canon too. I want to wait to see what story it might have before deciding for da3

I always do one playthrough for each gender.I played DA:O more often as a female because I enjoyed the Alistair romance more than any of the others. The only LI that I enjoyed playing with a male Warden was Zevran, so that severely limited my ability to play with a male Warden. Since all the LIs in DA2 were available to both genders, I played more often as a male simply because I liked M!Hawkes voice more.
So yes, I play as the opposite gender very frequently.

Nah, I usually can't.
Kind of a double standard at work here, cause things that won't annoy me in a female main character might make me dislike a male main character.
The only exception so far was Dragon Age Origins and I think that was only because the main character was silent and I could bend him whichever way I liked to make sure he wouldn't start being a pain in the ass. Him not having a voice helps with making him seem less like a real person and more like an instrument.
Which somehow sounds extremly sexist and I swear I'm not as bad is it sounds.

I only play opposite gender characters when forced to, but since I'm female and the majority of games have a hard-coded male protagonist, I'm forced to cross-gender-play a lot. ;P
When given the choice, I always make & play female characters. I HAVE tried to make male characters, but I can't ever get 'into their heads' and make it feel comfortable/right, so they languish unplayed.

I'll usually play male first, then female and then base my decision on gender by how good the voice actor is. I preferred the voice actor for a female Hawke to the male one, so more of my playthroughs were with a female character.

I play both. It depends on what kind of character I have in mind, what I think of the voice acting, etc, but I usually alternate between male and female characters in successive playthroughs.
If I liked the game enough to play through it more than once, anyway.

I remember trying to romance Isabela with an Aggressive male Hawke. I had to quit because the tone of his autodialogs clashed so horribly with the conversation choices I was making.
"Hello, Isabela, you worthless pustule! I love you. Have you stolen any more Qunari relics lately, you backstabbing harlot? Please marry me."
Sounded a lot less ridiculous with female Hawke's voice acting, though.
