Where did i say that man are perverts when playing with a female character ( maybe when you read between the lines i gave that impression but that is not the reason that i made this OP ). I just wanted to know why man play with a female character and with this OP i now know the answer to that question. What for instance SmudjyGirl said to play a role because it is a roleplaying game i liked that answer btw.
 
Then my brother is a pervert to because he plays with female characters as well and when i ask him he says because of the female shape. Some of the guys here gave the same answer but most of you guys gave a much better answer to my question.

I play a guy when playing a game sometimes.... *sighs* Hawke & The Exile are both glamorous to look at in my game...

I'll just be honest here.

In Origins my first character was a (quite )handsome black male like myself ;-) He was a mage. When I saw him walking around in those ridiculously hideous robes I had to restart as a woman. The robes looked terrible on her too so I took them off and had her run around with just her underwear on until I got the Chasind robes :-D

My next character was a Cousland human noble so being black was off the table for immersion reasons. So I made a white male DW Warrior and a white female Rogue who ended up being my canon Warden.

In Mass Effect 2 I tried to make yet another (quite) handsome black male but was thwarted by my lack of skill with the character creator so he ended up being only passable in attractiveness. Had to restart as a woman once I heard him speak. No black man on Earth sounds like that lol no bueno! So I made a beautiful hispanic woman and never looked back.

In DA2 i've played as a (quite) handsome black man ;-) finally, but mostly multiple women of various ethnicities because I had one look for the male and countless looks for the females. Also many outfits in the game look better on a female body especially the Arms of Mac Tir. The women also have quite the sexy little walk lol.

In ME3 I stuck with my hot spanish girl from ME2.

In Inquisition i've made multiple men and women but I have yet to actually complete the game with any of them.

In Dragon's Dogma most of my characters are women because they look really good and have far more clothing options than the men. Everything looks better on them. Everything.



tldr: I like to look at hot chicks

[themikefest]

I didn't mind the robes

At least robes exist that look good on a woman. Robes that look good on a man don't. I my later games, I used the Winter Forge mod to make some enchanted shirts and pants for my male mage.

If I gotta stare at the backside of a toon for 40+ hours u better believe it's gonna be a an attractive toon

Anyway, yeah rub your PC Master Race superiority in my face some more lol

I don't mind the robes, but I loathe those hats. All of my Mages select Arcane Warrior to be able to wear helms as an alternative.

[vertigomez]

Huh. I thought the starting robes looked fine on male characters in DAO, absolutely horrible on women.

[BansheeOwnage]

I was talking about the females, since this thread is about females.

And I still have no idea how you think the females look androgynous. They're "idealized" supermodels.

[BansheeOwnage]

Always interesting to see how different people's tastes are. Personally, I don't really have an opinion on the mage robes, other than that I would never wear them in real life.

I thought the light armour was worse. It looked like dogshit on male and female characters.

I think that's a given. Dem codpieces!

You mean the leathers?

[Duelist]

You mean the leathers?

Yes. The armoured skirts.

I use a PC for DAO, although I do use my PC mastery to use a Exbox Controller for Skyrim. We're very portable...

[Pensieve]

I am a gay man who prefers to play as female and female butts don't interest me in the slightest. I just don't like how most men in games are extremely muscular. Not that women's proportions are that realistic, but still. In games like Dragon Age the sex of my character depends on who I want to romance.

I have typed this out before, but this is it in a nutshell.

 

Role-players can be divided up into two main groups.   Those that play the game as themselves, putting their conscience and thought processes into the fantasy world, and those that view the protagonists as a unique character, and play the game using how they believe that character would act.

 

People in the first group almost entirely make their character the same gender, almost always choose humans, and may even try to duplicate their own face in the CC.   People in the second group usually are creating a fantasy character, hence they go for more exotic races, whether for beauty like elves, or the most non-human they can get like Qunari.   The second group also is viewing the character as "Not them" and will often gravitate toward a gender they find attractive.

 

Men in the second group will almost universally make female characters. 

[Tidus]

As far as mage robes in DA:O I remove them and use regular armor since there isn't any reason to keep them in robes other then RPG tradition. I wish I could use armor on them in DA:I.

 

 

Navasha, I fit in your first group and use both except playing as a dwarf and I always use Rikku since that name is close to her sister's name Rica..

And you use the name Rikku because you love the FF games because if i remember correctly she was in that game as well.  

[Tidus]

Patricia08,Very true..   Rikku is one of my all time favorite  characters.

[abaris]

Yes. The armoured skirts.

 

The dahlish version didn't look too bad. The standard version was abyssmal.

Those are certainly two groups, but as I said earlier I don't think they are the only groups.

I'd be very surprised if most guys played as female character, i would think most would be like me and on the first playthrough at least, play the PC as more or less yourself with minimal actual roleplaying, saving that for future replays. 
I normally always play as a male character on my first playthrough (as i'm a guy) because it's the easiest for me to role play. But in subsequent playthroughts i experiment with different races, personalities, classes and genders. 
When it comes to Cannon playthroughs i go with the one i A) Have fallen most in love with as a character Makes the most compelling story.

 

So for origins i go Male City Elf warrior because i enjoy the idea of being the oppressed Hero who is looked down upon by the people he's trying to save. (gender for this just comes down to a personal choice for me because my Warden is pretty much a direct copy paste of my personality in all its good and bad aspects), and i find warrior the most fun.

DA2 i go sarcastic male warrior or Rouge because i think being a mage makes no sense given that all of Kirkwall would know you're a mage after act 2 but no one does sh*t about it, and it makes you too invested in the conflict, and i prefer to play my Hawke as someone desperate to stay neutral, but eventually forced to go against with Meredith after she goes insane and wants to kill all mages because some might be blood mages. As for gender i just prefer how the male VA delivers the sarcasm lines which are totally the best hawke lines 

 

For DA:I i initially played as a male Qunari Warrior (seeing a pattern here), but after the ending reveal of Solas i decided it was best for the story to go Female Elven Mage and romance Solas for the feels. I was very hesitant about it at first but i was shocked at how invested i got in the romance and my character. That character investment was lost on me when i played as my male Qunari. 

So yeah, i can't speak for all men, but personally i just go with what makes sense for the story and what's easiest for me to empathize with (generally that's a male perspective on things) 

[tesla21]

I do though I really doubt that the percentage is actually higher for men with female MC than those that play male characters, anyway I prefer it mostly because narratively I find playing a female character much more engaging, it's abit part of the usual sexist preconceptions that we get from society I guess, at least for me emotions are easier to empathize with and also I find it easier to do things that I usually wouldn't simply because it's harder to play a role instead of a self insert when playing as my own gender and that makes for a more interesting character. 

 

Btw I am trying to imply anything regarding real life, it's just my justification over prefering female mcs.

 

But regarding DAI, I find it impossible to make a male character that looks good so after hours of CC I just said **** it, and regarding DA2, I prefer male Hawke, he's just frigging awesome.

[Tidus]

tesla21,My question would be how many men would admit they use female characters? Very few I know of. I would never use a female in a game of D&D where all the players lean toward the macho man character side.
