[Synnworld]

I may play one my next run through; maybe sex up Alistair XD.

Take a look at the group: Gender Bender

I AM a girl but on one playthrough I did as a guy (HNM) to see what different play options it offered. I prefer the female PC game but my Cousland boy was a lot of fun too.

I prefer to play female char in ME and male char in DAO. I wonder why ?

[igniss]

I did my second playthrough with a female rogue to see the differences in dialogues

Because females can look like crap-o-la in DAO?

EDIT: I'm thinking of playing as a female on my next run, but not until I have made a good looking morph.

I play both male and female characters. As long as there is a narrative difference between the two, I'll play both. In Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, there are technical difference in the sexes of different races making male or female a character building choice. However, in DA and ME, I don;t see any statistical difference. In additional to obvious romance differences, there are narrative differences that depend on gender. For example, if you never play as female mage, you never find out that Cullin has a crush on you. Once you plan to create multiple characters, you get over the silly sexual identification with your character and focus on experience the game from every perspective that the designers envisioned.

I play as female characters during alternate play-throughs, just to try out all the options (some games make this really worthwhile, like Dragon Age, while others are nearly indistinguishable), but my first game is almost always my role-playing as my idealised self... which usually means chaotic good human male with long brown hair. My avatar here doesn't really look much like me but it's pretty hard to get something that resembles you in real life, so I usually settle for "close enough".

My second character for a while was actually sort of modeled after my partner... but I decided it was kind of creepy and maybe a bit degrading a few hours in and so deleted her. I justify it in my head as her being devoured by Darkspawn. Not that that has any relation to my actual partner.

I'm actually highly opposed to having major statistical differences between races and genders.  Not only is it kind of demeaning, but you can run into some pretty embarassing situations.  One that comes to mind are Redguards in The Elder Scrolls games, who are basically their fantasy world's version of "black people", and by default are stronger and less intelligent than others... uh, yeah, nice one Bethesda.

I usually design character after fictional archetypes. Female characters are no different. I usually play the first character as good. It's hard to be evil in DA:O becuase the game punishes you pretty badly for doing evil things.



The only character I even remotely based on myself is the one I created just to use an an Avatar here.

[Ravenfeeder]

My two complete playthroughs were with male PC's, but after that I followed with two partial playthoughs with female PC's plus played other origins with a mix. I play whatever I think will match with the type of play I'm wanting at the time.

[sylvanaerie]

I just feel most comfortable RPing a female PC. However I DID have fun on my Cousland boy. Would post more but its spoilerific info.

[worksa8]

I made a female warrior called Eowyn
xDDD
(Guys don't seem to have an issue with playing either gender in a game, but a lot of females won't play as anything besides a female character. My sister will only play as a female elf/dwarf rogue for instance, she absolutely refuses to play as human, male, or any other class.

My wife plays almost exclusively female. She did roll one male dwarf noble. She needed him to get the "Hopeless Romantic" and "Witch Gone Wild" achievements. If her hairy dwarf rolling around with Morrigan isn't bad enough, she also had an affair with Zev.

I think the female character models and skins look better many times. In fable 2, the actual female animations were better.

I never seriously play and infest in a single female character across all games I've played.

[MarkyBoy147]

they run really camply, couldnt be doing with it.

[Khayness]

Playing as a female character makes me feel out of palce (I take my RP seriously), so I don't play as a female.

Got a friend who plays with female characters all the time. His excuse is that if he has to stare at a PlayerCharacter for hours he prefers to stare at the backside of a woman. Good for him I guess. I don't stare at my PC, I usally checking the surroundings.

[Petsura]

Sometimes I just feel like playing a female character just to see how other characters react to her, but then it just feels wrong and I drop the issue.

[_benp968]

Both. Although my main playthrough in DA:O was a female human mage. I think it comes from playing MMO's where a female character was always treated better and helped out more often, even after people found out you were a guy. You would often even be PKed less (which was foolish and dangerous for them, lol)



I suspect before I'm burned out on DA:O+expansions I'll have played both male and female characters.

[Abyss Vixen]

I play female charecter mainly because i play Aion with my girlfriend who as a laugh made a giagantic muscle man chanter so i rolled a female assassin. First time on ventrillo with legion was a major shock for them haha.



So really it carries on from that, i have done the male run through a few times though. I did prefer the human female noble run through the most though for some reason.

[bstanley52]

I play both. Mostly to see the differences in the dialogue and endings. Also, it is really fun to see a female warrior ripping it up with a S&S!



Besides, how are you supposed to get the Alistair romance option without it?

[CHiLLFiRe]

I have both male and female characters. I basically use character concepts from when I DM a RPG. Or character concepts when I'm the player. That way I don't have to think TOO much on the dialog options. I just think to myself. What would this character do? My only complaint is my female dalish elf warrior is supposed to be a drow, but ya can't have everything you want, hehe. =)

I think it has to do with the voices.  In ME you're playing Commander Shepard who has a very distinct personality (that you have control over somewhat.)  Shepard talks so you feel like you're playing an already developed character.

Dragon Age has a silent protagonist, and so you're more likely to play a character who is like yourself.  More likely, but not necessarily always.  Because you can mold the character's personality a bit more.  The dialogue choices aren't really spoken, and tend to vary more so.

And not to start any arguments... but maybe you also prefer Jennifer Hale's voice?  I know I do.  But I also happen to be female.

On topic though, I have played male characters in DAO before but I never completed a play through with one yet.  I guess I don't connect with them as well as my female characters.
