I'm glad I have no problem playing either gender.

Lol, I've made peace with only playing dudes in RPGs.

[Ryzaki]

Towards Felicia?

 

Yeah.

 

I usually don't mind playing either gender (preference for my good guys being females and my jerkasses being males) it's when VA gets in the mix that I usually end up playing male =/

[Ricochetmatt]

Same. I just can't play a female character, not unless she's the main protagonist and therefore the only choice. I tried a female in Origins to romance Alistair...and it just didn't feel right.

 

 

The whole thing feels wrong and is part of the reason why I abandoned my one and only female Warden. Sometimes I miss her, but then I think about how dirty it felt to romance Alistair.

Which is why I just don't play m/f romances.  I haven't tried a f/f romance yet, but I think it would be easier to do that than do a m/f romance, to be honest.  This could be all be moot for me, though, if Viv isn't a f/f romance.

I enjoy having the *choice* of whether I can play as a woman or a dude.  I prefer playing women as my canon/first run characters, because women protagonist heroines are still a rare thing in the media and it is something I delight in watching.  But equally as much, and for similar reasoning, I prefer seeing gay relationships in my stories.  I have zero interest in playing straight (white) dudes, as that is something we are saturated in.  Having one and then both of these choices is a key factor in why I've been playing BioWare games for over a decade.

Same here. Not that I think there's anything wrong with preferring playing one sex vs. another. The way I approach these games is that the character I am creating is a character in the world of Dragon Age and is not an in-game representation of myself. Again, not that there is anything wrong with playing that way.

[Nocte ad Mortem]

For me, it's not about the romance. It just feels weird being female. If there was no romance system, it still just wouldn't feel natural, to me. I'd just rather be a guy.  

 

If it was a game with a set protagonist that had their own set personality and made choices outside my control, I think it would be different.   

[Darth Krytie]

I greatly prefer playing a female character. In fact, the only reason why I have more male Hawkes than female ones is because 1) I prefer the VA. 2) I prefer mHawke/Anders over f!Hawke/Anders and Anders was usually my preferred romance.

 

 

However, since I also enjoy playing out all the romances, I will play both genders to see it. I have like ten female wardens to my now...3 male ones. And two of those are really recent.

I can't play straight male characters. I've never romanced Morrigan . Whenever possible I will make a character gay, but will make straight females if necessary .

[Grand Admiral Cheesecake]

My male and female wardens were roughly equal in numbers and effort.

 

I vastly preferred FemHawke to MaleHawke though, dat voice.

It's not that I can't play a m/f relationship. That's isn't the problem. The problem is Alistair is very heterosexual (and virginal) and playing a female character just to romance him feels dirty. lol 

 

Now if I romanced Zevran with a fem Warden, I wouldn't feel as bad. It's weird, I know.

In DA:O I played more females, but in DA2 I played more males. This was mostly because of CC issues: the CC really didn't let you tweak your facial structure much especially the female faces and they mostly looked the same each time and the same as all the female NPCs too :/ I personally really preferred MHawke's voice (though that is the unpopular opinion) which is funny because the Imperial Agent in my avi shares the same VA as Lady Hawke

[Nocte ad Mortem]

I loved male Hawke's voice. I didn't realize people didn't like it.

[Mes]

I'll join ya in the unpopular club... I LOVED his voice! I thought it suited him very well, particularly a sarcastic Hawke.

That could be why, actually. You attached that voice to your SWTOR character, so you don't like it on someone else.

I think it's not people didn't like his voice, they just like FemHawke's more.

Me too. I was thinking the same. The male voice is perfect for sarcastic Hawke.

I played DA2 first.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

I played DA2 first.

Yeah, but later you liked it on your SWTOR character more so you affiliated the two. I'm just spitballing.

[Nefla]

I like the male Agent's voice better though...

[Han Yolo]

Nicholas Boulton's voice was the only reason I created a male Hawke. I want to hear him in Inquisition please! And let him be romanceable.

[Sjofn]

Yeah.

I'm similar, I find if there's a voice involved, the likelihood I'm going to play primarily dudes skyrockets. It's like I have the aural equivilent of that (totally dumb) excuse of "Well, if I'm gonna stare at a butt for 40 hours, I want it to be a NICE butt." I got sick of listening to LadyHawke way faster than ManHawke, for example, and I liked LadyHawke.

 

Basically, my first playthrough is almost always as a woman (SWTOR's class stories don't count!), but if it's a voiced protagonist, the ratio definitely skews towards dudes.

 

 

I like the male Agent's voice better though... 

 

Haha, I keep meaning to make a lady IA one of these days, but I keep not doing it for two reasons. One, I already got kinda sick of her in DA2. Two, gentleman IA is .

[SurelyForth]

I don't know where having a preference for M!Hawke's anything is the unpopular opinion- I've been gritting my teeth through BW and fandom's Garrett favoritism since late 2010. Representation aside, I loathed Boulton as Hawke because he sounds about ten years too old, and all I can think about is him hamming it up as Vaughan in Origins. He doesn't bother me as much in other small roles, though. I vastly prefer Jo Wyatt's voice, and there was a time when I was playing so much DA2 and SWTOR*, and writing so much about my Hawke, that she pretty much narrated my thoughts. That was an interesting couple of weeks.

 

I'm actually worried about the voices in DAI. One of the only reasons I think I was able to get through my male Warden was because he wasn't voiced. It was easier for me to RP him if the only real voice I had for him was my own. If I don't like either of the male Inquisitor's voices, love interests alone aren't going to win me over to playing one. 

 

*The male Agent's voice is amazing, but Vector is my favorite SWTOR LI by a mile, so that means I'd never play him just for the voice. 

[Ricochetmatt]

The male agent's voice is the best thing ever.

*glomps*

 

So happeh I'm not the only one who does that. I didn't even like Lady Hawke and her being voiced by the same woman who did Brynn in ME3 REALLY didn't help.

 

SWTOR I think my first was male sorc. Dat voice. Him and male agent are unf.

 

I made one but since I'm not to fond of her voice she's languishing on Balmorra. I'll finish her...eventually.

[DManzo]

Right now I'm worried the Grey Warden won't be a LI
