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.

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

Who are you and how did you become psychic

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

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.

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

Yes, because I enjoy looking at women more

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

Also cake.

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

Yeah... SO!?

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

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

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.

I sure do:

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.

Every time and I feel no shame.

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

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 🙌

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.

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

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

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.

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

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)

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.

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

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

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.
