 I play both.  I plan on 4 main play throughs 2 mm, one mf and another fm (female inquisitor).  Clearly, I play different sexualities too. As a gay male, I won't be able to keep my hands off Vivienne if she's a possible romance. 

[RedWulfi]

I'm female and i play as both.

[Nocte ad Mortem]

I only play as males. I just play a couple times, usually one human and one elf. I always do the m/m romance choice(s). 

[Maria Caliban]

I play as a woman in almost any game that allows me to do so.

TOR is one of the few exceptions, I have 1 male character and 6 female ones. If I play Dragon Age: Inquisition 7 times, I may be inclined to switch genders, but I don't believe I've played through any of BioWare's single player games more than twice.

[wright1978]

Predominantly play as a man.

However in past if i've liked the Bioware game enough i'll eventually get round to playing other gendered protaganist.

Given Sera's my favourite character, marginally ahead of Cass(based on limited current info) i'm tempted to make my second run a female inquisitor.

[caradoc2000]

I always play the variants (gender, race, ...) if the game gives a choice.

[MrDbow]

My first playthrough will actually be with a female Inquisitor because of the voice actor - Alix Wilton Regan.

She will be human.

 

However, most of my other playthroughs will be as a male Inquisitor.

I will probably stick with human as well as I have no interest in the other races at this time.

[J-Reyno]

I play as pretty much everything.  I'll undoubtedly play as multiple races/genders/sexualities in Inquisition.  I'm also expecting my main Inquisitor to be female.

 

I just have a thing about trying out all of the options.  And I like creating new characters. I played all of the races with both genders in Origins, some multiple times.  I have a maxed character of each class in SWTOR, split evenly between genders.  Admittedly I never finished a playthrough with female Hawke but DA2, while a fun game, never captivated me as a roleplaying experience.  I only played it fully twice which is a record low for me.

My first playthrough is nearly always Male, fighter (normally a tank) and then how ever I feel when creating a new character, I think it ends out about 50/50 with the gender choice

[azarhal]

I play both gender, I usually select which ever I find the less annoying (voices, walking animation, CC options, etc).

 

My first characters tend to be males though, mostly because most games are designed with a male protagonist in mind (and I hate sexist remarks and you get none when playing a male character).

I should be ashamed at the amount of time I spend in character creators.

 

I'm not, but I should be.

Oh my Jer, how did you find your way over here???

I fret over every freckle.

If your new character isn't a red-head, I will be shocked, truly.

[Innsmouth Dweller]

there's no pattern. i rolled female in DA:O first PT and a male in DA2 (deleted after 1st act, replaced by a female)

 

the VA is the most important thing for me (more than character looks, possible romances or whatever, thus i'm a great fan of silent protagonist - nothing sounds better than imaginary voice), so i'll decide after hearing VA in CC (4 options... one of them must be right or at least close enough).

and that sucks, because there is bunch of good games i couldn't play because of the main char's voice. it's not they are bad actors, i just cannot stand how they sound

[GreyLycanTrope]

I play both, I spent way more time making custom Sheps then I'd care to admit. The DA males are probably the easiest, just add long hair and a beard so I don't have to worry about what half their face looks like.

Hi Grey!

patiently waiting for the others to arrive.

 

 

I only made one bro-shep myself, simply for Jack, femshep all the way except that one time. 

[LadyMacTir]

I play as a female, if I can identify the main protaginist with myself. I romance somebody I could romance in a real life too, and that often means modding the appearance of the male LI.

 

I play as a male protagonist only if I can identify myself with a female LI in looks / character. So far, that were Morrigan and Merrill. (Yes, I can totally understand the philosophy of the survival of the fittest, prefer the company of the wild animals, and be a "possessive wife". But at the same time, I am nerdy, naive, and please don't ever hurt me.) I then imagine the protagonist being my crush, or just try to create an attractive guy. I test out every romance so I don't miss anything (like Leliana, Zevran, Isabela), but always stay with "my alter ego companion LI".

 

I know I am very superficial, and maybe the "female gamer stereotype" who is interested mainly in romances

 

For DAI, I will probably romance Blackwall Cullen but will certainly explore Iron Bull's mayhem as a female. As a male, I will go mainly for Cassandra, but also explore the remaining available LI.

[Gervaise]

I used to play male characters first off since they invariably seemed to getter better romance choices.   Then along came DAO and I had to revise my opinion.    Spent the whole of the first run through regretting I wasn't female.      I found the gender in that game could directly affect how I tackled certain issues.  For example, a male human noble was less sympathetic to Alistair constantly going on about Duncan, since he'd lost his entire family but no one thought to ask him how he felt, and the moment Alistair indicated he didn't want the throne, my guy was planning on trying for it himself and did a deal with Anora.     Whereas a female human noble, whilst probably feeling the same about her family, was more intent on pushing Alistair towards the throne with her as his consort.    Similarly I played a female city elf differently to how a played the male city elf.

 

So I went into DA2 feeling pretty positive about playing a female, particularly when I saw the romance options available to a straight lady.   I ended up playing both genders but my "canon" Hawke is a lady mage.

 

At present I want to play female elf mage on first run through but I'm waiting to see how important the Dalish tag is to her character.    I'm still hoping for Solas as a romance but if he isn't and Cullen can't win me over, then I'll probably go romance less.

 

If I'm not happy with the Dalish backstory, then I'll swap to male human mage because the romance options for him are far greater, whether I play him straight or gay, so hopefully one of them should prove okay.

 

Basically I'm comfortable playing either gender but my girls are always straight whilst my guys invariably end up gay - go figure!

[Ray561]

Its depends on the game for me.

 

DAO I played as both male and female

Mass effect trilogy I attempted a fem shep play through but never got past mass effect 2

DA2 I mostly played as fem Hawk but i did finish a couple of game as a male I just preferred fem Hawks Voice acting.

But i'm pretty satisfied with all the inquisitor's voices so far.

[Felya87]

where I can, I always play a female character. It's quite hard find a female character in videogames, and I love to play one when I can. 

I end up creating a male character only in the BioWare games, and only if there is a good female romance to try.

 

I'm not much in s/s relationship, expecially f/f ones. but I can try a m/m for Dorian, only much much later.

[daveliam]

For me, it comes down to whether or not there is an m/m romance option.  If there is, then I will play almost exclusively as a male character.  If there is not, then I will play as both.

 

For example, in SWTOR, I have 5 male and 3 female characters (since there are eight different classes with unique storylines).  However, in DA 2 and ME 3, I've never gotten past the opening scene with a female character. 

 

One exception to this is when I can play as a female of a less common race (like dwarf, gnome, or orc).  I think that those ladies get such little recognition in fantasy lore that I enjoy having the "hero" be one of them.  For example, in Skyrim, in which my "main" character (who I completed the storyline with) is an orc female (married to a human male NPC) and my secondary character (who I sandbox with) is a gay male orc (married to another orc warrior).  In DA: O, I played a single playthrough each as a female dwarf noble warrior (who romanced Alistair) and a female dwarf commoner rogue (who romanced Leliana). 

 

In DA: I, I suspect that I will play almost all of my playthroughs as gay males (almost exclusively as qunari or dwarves).  I am also probably going to do a single female playthrough, as (likely) a female dwarf.  This is pretty much guaranteed if Vivienne is a f/f option. 

[themageguy]

Yes, yes I do

[EmissaryofLies]

This behavior of mine originated in WoW when I became proficient at PvP. That is, I pretty much exclusively play females if elves or the undead are off the table. And even then, my fem bias carries into other rpgs. 'Tis a force of habit I suppose. A lot of games also have ****** ugly males for potential protagonists, this simply will not do.

[Balancer]

I play both genders.

 

Warriors tend to be male. mage´s tend to be female and roque´s are pretty much even.

 

I like mythology so a lot of characters are based on ancient gods and goddesses.
