liquid wind Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 In fighting games, I play whoever's stats I like best, though that's often females because I prefer speed over power (Chun Li, Samus, and Seung Mina FTW). Samus in what game? I don't remember her ever being a particularly fast character unless you mean ZSS in brawl I'm kinda the same way though, I haven't played as many traditional fighting games but I think I play more females in them than other genres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeAuto Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I play Male characters when I'm in an MMO - for my main character. This is what everyone gets to know me as, and everyone refers to me by this toon. Alts are free and open games for female characters. Single player games, i usually always play females. Why? I prefer looking at something pretty than looking at a male toon for hours and hours of playtime. (eg. I usually have Tifa and Yuffie in ff7, Terra/Celes in ff6, Rena in so2:2nd, amazon/sorc in d2) I also usually have set names for most of my characters. Main is always a variant of Melchior (Melichor). Alts usually go the Gandalaran route (Rikardon, Tarani) or the D'Arnath path (Seriana). Except on steam MMO games, and messageboards. Then it's simply JadeAuto, all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BardicKnowledge Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 As a corollary to my previous post, my new character is Dragon Age is an extremely hot elvish rogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwaphy Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Funnily enough had a conversation similar to this the other day. The only real place this becomes a question/issue for me is WoW; as any other game I play the gender isn't the subject, it's the skills/abilities they bring to the table. Anyway, that aside.. My WoW characters are almost all female. Few simple reasons... A) I play Alliance side. Alliance males look AWFUL. I made the dreadful mistake of making a male draenei mage. Not sure what the hell I was thinking, but it's there. Fantasy games tend to make male figures completely disproportionate. Male humans for example look like they've got trucks attached to their torso instead of arms. Why? C) Facial expression/options. I know, I know. It's not all that often you see the front-side of your character, but I used to have a male night-elf druid, and I got so sick of every facial option looking like the guy had a large invasive object lodged in his ass.

Matt E. Waldman Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I usually choose females and female-types if given the choice. Every now and then I'll go for someone with a lot of testosterone, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuketheXjesse Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Whichever one is hotter. Which is always female. :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnowhathuh Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Depends on how queer the males look. The best example I think thing of are probably the Paragons in Guild Wars. They run around with a fair bit of skin showing and I'd prefer not to be looking at that all day. Apart from that, it's usually a male though there are some circumstances I'll choose a female toon for no good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wingless Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I always play a girl without fail. If her hair can be white, I do so. And I always name her Una. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flare4War Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 A guy, since I am in fact male. I have thought about playing through Mass Effect again as a female just to mix things up and brush up on the story before Mass Effect 2 is released.

anosou Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 where is poll option lolIf I am given a choice I usually play female because I'd rather constantly stare at a nice ass in my game. It's also probably some deep freudian psychological shit, I dunno. How do you guys like to play? I think we're soulmates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiral Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hmm...I think in a game where the character has to be like my avatar, I tend to pick a female. Like in an MMO (I play FFXI.) But if it's a single-player game where you get story based on your character's identity, I'd rather play as a guy so I have something to fangirl about. Plus it seems like in a lot of games the males have more interesting backstories (to me anyway.) ...Although, I was very tempted to make a male Elvaan in FFXI and just hit on dudes constantly. >:3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenz Drake Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I usually prefer to pick the male character. I like to stare at men with cargo pants if an option too in games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.B. Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Male when the character is the actor, female otherwise. I always try to be as close to me as possible in a game - on all choices (at least on the first playthrough) - but if there isn't anyone to 'be' then I ain't gonna stare at a dude for hours and hours.
