playing as a female character with a female user name can get you freebies. people will be really nice to you.... until they somehow find out you are male.


This is so true in all the mmorpgs I've ever played.

I always make girl characters in games unless I'm naming them after myself.
No I'm never serious.

I started always picking female characters when given a choice after playing GunZ. The female characters were just so much more cool looking in that game, and most decent players picked the female.

They actually had frame differences, enough to make some moves... you know.

Hmm I've never had a problem playing females, possibly preferred it in fighting game/rpgs. Never really thought of why, I guess better to look at ? lol Probably because I dont really roleplay or feel that character is me, even in rpg.. More like in you're the commander giving orders hehe.

I like to play female characters in RPGs. Sexy women who kick ass are awesome, even if they're just video game characters.
I drop suckas like Plinko

they both have near identical lines and the dude voice actor is just fine. jennifer hale is better, but she's not so good that it should make you unable to enjoy the game as male shepard

i don't see why you'd happen to care more for a girl character considering that, but okay man, if you want to rationalize it that way

for reference I play female characters when given the choice 99% of the time but in ME2 i chose male because shepard is male officially and the female shepard is just there as fanservice

I played both ME1/ME2 as male and female, enjoyed playing female more. Generally I'd play either in an RPG, and sometimes purposely play two playthroughs if the different genders give different options.

I also just realized that if i'm modeling a character after myself then I pick male, whereas if I don't I usually pick female.

In multi-player games it's really just deceiving lonely internet people into favouring you slightly more.
Never felt right to me, I always feel more immersed if I choose the character most similar to myself.

MMORPG: Male. I am not very comfortable with deceiving other people around me into believing I am female -_- Why would one do that anyway?

Single player games, I go with one with better storyline & experience if there is marked playstyle difference; It's case of immersion vs storytelling. Other cases I just go with the player I am good at.

People like you probably make up the majority of female characters.

how does playing a female equate to "deceiving other people into believing you're a female" lol

legitimately pretending to be a girl is what would do it, not simply playing a char as the gender. if you see a female char in a game and instantly think "must be a chick" then geez man

I played as a girl in Mass Effect too! Not sure why but it was enjoyable.

3rd person point of view hum...

I just think he finds it enjoyable the op becuase he rather listen and look at a woman instead of a man. I do the same most of my music has females leads.

I'm surprised at the apparent viability of gender deception in MMORPGs and the serious concerns over it I see in this thread. I would've thought most communities would be jaded enough by now to never assume a player is female without at least a measure of proof.

Then again, even as I type new idiots are being spawned into this world, destined for the internet communities of the future.

On topic: I prefer playing female characters, though I sometimes play male ones too. For competitive games, I throw gender out the window.

I've played Fallout 3 as a female in the past. The dialogue options you can get with the black widow perk are pretty hilarious, much more so than the options you can get playing as a male with the lady killer perk.
