Is that a weird thing for a woman to do?

Eh, depends on the game. I look at both and pick whichever one looks or sounds fun. Last few games I was a whole team of women in turn based games. Current game I'm a lone wolf male. Sometimes I find it funny making the cutest girl and whomping on enemies, othertimes I make an ugly old lady or man. Sometimes I make them look like me, or my wife, or one of my kids. Litterally depends all on my mood and whimsy at the time.

i like dressing up girls :3

You got me, as my defence women characters often have better clothing options, hairstyles options, VA, etc. Lets a man play dress up in peace 😂

I also would rather play more games written for a female protagonist. 3 decades of male player characters is plenty.

Only when there models are hot oof I’ve never made a female dwarf character but those Korean boob sliders lol

I might just be a perv

Got one comment when I was younger from my girlfriend about how I never played a woman in games and now I almost always do

If I’m going to spend the next 300 hours staring at a character’s ass, I’m picking one I actually want to look at.

Who are you and how did you become psychic

women are prettier damn it! and i want my character to be pretty!! >:(

Back in the runescape days, I used to get tons of free shit by being a girl. When they stopped gifting, I'd convince them to come to the wild and kill them for the rest of their shit

Well of course? What else should I be playing as if not? A dinosaur? Don't be silly! Who would play as a dinosaur in a videogame?

nervous laugh

I remember starting Genshin and given identical abilities, I preferred to look at a female character for the first few hours. I don't project myself into games, I always feel like I'm playing the characters as themselves.

Always have, always will. Smaller Character models take up less space in 3rd person games and are harder to see in pvp.

Also cake.

Yes, because I enjoy looking at women more

Yeah... SO!?

In see a dude every day in the mirror. Let me have fun and see something different in videogames

If they won't let me make a twinky guy then yeah (mainly an issue in Western titles)

I sure do:

How else am I supposed to look at tna the whole playthrough?

Every time and I feel no shame.

Ever since questioning my identity I began playing girls more and enjoying character creation for once. Before, I always just hit random and entered said game.

I just go with whatever looks better. Or if there’s total customization, I imagine a backstory and go with whatever fits the backstory.

I’d guess my overall rates are something like 65% male, 35% female.

Depends on what character I'm wanting to develop at the time, but yeah, a lot of my oc's are women (although not necessarily female). I like to use the game as inspiration for lore. When I played cyberpunk 2077, I already had a character named V who's a cyborg rabbit girl, so it was close enough to perfect.

The Matrix character named Switch had it correct the whole time 🙌

Yes I want to become queen of all Calradia and destroy those pesky Rhodoks once and for all!

I only did it once. I'd heard that the male version of the character had terrible voice acting.

You just reminded me of a memory that may have sparked my desire to transition.

I developed this one character for Dungeons and Dragons. Oh my God, I'm having a revelation as I type this!

Ok, so Calian is a Half Elf who's mother was a High Elf and father was a Half Orc. Years ago, her grandfather on her dad's side had to fight to be allowed to enter the stronghold of a female Orc. He won, and she chose him as her next of many husbands. They legit fell in love and had their son, Calian's father.

So Calian is 1/2 Elf, 1/4 Orc, and 1/4 Human. She has slightly more pronounced canines and Half Orc eyes - mostly just the golden color irises.

Her parents perished in a racist's terrorist attack who hated all half breeds. She was taken in by a group of nuns who maintained a church to the goddess Sune (remember, D&D). She grew up loved and to love unconditionally. Her more Orcish instinct to be a warlord clashed with her desire to love. And who deserved the most love and devotion?

Princesses.

Calian was so enthralled with the idea of saving a princess from danger that she would make up wild fantasies in her mind where she was the heroine who sought out and rescued princesses. This was her vow to her goddess before going her holy quest.

Calian took her job way too seriously and "searched" for princesses in very unlikely places. She frequented taverns to "save" the barmaids, or snuck into brothels to find her real princess she was destined to save. And she was a bit of a horndog but that never actually came up in the game.

And I realize now that she was who I wanted to be. I already had my princess, and after me married, my queen. Now I have two princesses to look after, and I adore them both.

This character has morphed over the years into another persona that I actually am interested in playing as in roleplay with my wife. Am I ever going to transition? Very unlikely. But I text her as this other persona, and it's so nice to be me without having to change me. I still really dislike how I look and feel, but I am a coward who doesn't want all of the hardships of becoming a woman. I'd rather press a button and POOF become one instantly. Oh well. A girl can dream.

Plus women are pretty.

One of my college friends always plays a female character with the same hair and complexion as his wife.

i have many characters, you dont know me, pay no mind to my soulsbourne legacy (especially DS2 where i started as a guy, but jumped in the coffin that changes that and decided to keep it)

I like to experience the widest variety of characters in RPGs, so I end up with one character of each race, one character of each class, and about half of them being female. My main is always a male, though.

I wonder what that says about me?

Is this from something? I rarely dislike reading the source content for a lot of your posts.

Yeah, cis hetero dude here who always chooses to play female version in video games.

I almost exclusively play Project Zomboid (just like to play badass immortal survivor woman) and Cyberpunk 2077 (female V is just much better voice acting, and yeah, romancing Judy is canon, don't hate me).

I know a girl who uses femme voice on PS3.

Yeah, I’m happy to play a variety of different characters in games. I don’t actually identify as Miner Willy.

😭yes

All the time! Didn't get to be one in life,so why not take the chance in game? 🤷

Where is the image from?

I'm totally the type.

In my defense there are a lot of games in which I can play a white man.

In Saints Row, the clothing options are better for women, and fashion is a big deal. SR4 is better about men's apparel than SR3.

But then I played women a lot in my TTRPG years.

I haven't played some games just because main character was male

Yeah, I blame NV and Fallout 3. The female player model starts out just looking dead eyed meanwhile the male one starts looking uncanny as a whole. Also Fallout 1 and 2 did not help in that regard, my Fallout 2 characters should all have severe STDs but at least ai get free shit and can give someone death by Snu Snu.

I've played most of the Tails of games, and switch to one of the women or girls as soon as they are available. That is until Tales of Xillia. It was the first one to give you the choice at the start of the game, and I played the whole thing as Jude.

I am non-binary, but I'm definetely more androgynous/fem voice and (trying) style-wise, usually, so that tends to make the female character option more relatable to me. I also appreciate games that have more femboy/androgynous male options, not just HunkBro 9000.

My boyfriend masquarades as smokin hot women in some games he plays. Not sure what his reasoning is, probably multiple things: 1) women warriors in their shredded tunics with weapon & artillery holsters & their cleavage bursting out is a lot more entertaining to look at than some guy warrior. 2) probably interesting to note how differently other players treat you when you're a sexy lady, vs how they treat you when you're just some guy.

i'd not give'em a gener at all but that's rarely an option so what am i gonna do? :<

POV forcefem yuri?!

…

Uhh yeah I guess I am. It all started when I picked Jill for resident evil 1 because I liked her story and load out better. Ever since I just kinda picked female by default.

Nope, unless the character has a fixed gender and a good action kit

Yes of course, and I find it funny how we seem to need to find an excuse for that.

Yet, in the need to choose, I identify more as a woman, when it is up to me...

moth enjoys a hot boi as much as a hot girl.

duh

Life is simply too short to play as male characters, an objective statement that has nothing to do with me playing it irl for 20 years whatsoever

I do both. Mostly so I can enjoy both VA's performances.

Sometimes. Depends on the game.

somehow, despite being openly nonbinary for a while now, it's only now i realize that i always felt slightly uncomfortable/annoyed having to pick either male or female.
Just let me play as some cool nongendered thing, a penguin or a robot or something.

hell let me play as an ominous levitating crystal that emits a constant low droning noise. In Animal crossing.

Yeah, I mean, Im a man but would i have chose this for me. I dont know but let's find out.

Yes...

almost always :3

how did you know?

I even create female characters in terraria and they are not many pixels. heck I even did it on Littlewoods and that one is like 10 pixels in height. Not sure why this sounds curious to some people

I do it almost all the time.
