Wouldn't see much fun playing the game multiple times without mixing gender, race, sexuality, color and all that stuff in each playthrough.

About how I view it. What keeps it interesting is variation on a theme, exploring the many different experiences scripted by the designers into a game and getting to play again with a whole new point of view. I do tend to begin new games with females though despite being male- probably because they're more enticing to look at and I get protective of them, making the devotion of absurd hours to a game that much more salient. Sexy sells... My first characters in BG and NWN were both female- my primary DAO character also a female (and also a dwarf rogue as was my first character in NWN). Then I end up mixing things up fairly evenly on sex, race, etc., trying anything at least once, pushing boundaries.

But I seem to be approaching "game immersion" differently from most people. For me I never feel "as" the character. Everything is always 3rd person with me just sort of there with the character using a very sophisticated remote interface. I don't die when my character does, so I'll always have a metagame safety seat while my character won't (and will rely on me to save them with reloads hehe). So I don't need a facimile-me character so much as a genuinely interesting character- both to watch and to guide. I may even identify with the character in some ways or care about them a lot, but I never feel it's me. If the game itself is immersive I'll be very connected to the character's story development, imagining how they're interacting with their environment given their personality. But, I mean, I can't really play me: it's not even reality (where I live). And since it isn't me, I just go with what feels good to give a whole playthrough game life to.

I mixed it up, but really only due to me liking the female voice actor more in DA2...

Bhryaen, you are not the only one. I don't create a digital copy of myself, what's the fun in that. My first PC is usually male, feels more interesting being female myself. (And I like them men with beards). While my Wardens were 50x50, most of my Hawkes turned out to be female. I didn't like male Hawke voice.

My first playthroughs have always been with a male PC. I don't necessarily RP myself, but I like to choose things according to my ideology and morals etc.

Then I play female PC as well (on ME3 I currently have more females than males - will have to rectify that ).

There's no confusion about meaning. The prostitute is clearly trying to insult a Hawke of either gender.

Where ButterflyEffect and mopotter differ is how they interpret the prostitute's motivation for making that comment, which is a different thing entirely.

Point taken.

But then this would serve as evidence that the intent of the speaker is not consistently knowable.

Sure, but we don't need to know the motivation of NPC characters, it's not really relevant.

I mainly play a female, but have played a couple of male characters. I prefer playing a female however

I like having a choice, and play both usually. Which I prefer mainly depends on my preference of the VA and quality of character design. In general I prob try female first, just because so many games I've played seem to be male protagonist.
