maybe we just don't play female characters because we can't relate to them?

it makes sense to pick a character of your own gender. unless you're a perv

I play characters perceived to be off-beat weak builds, but turn out to be powerful specialists you'd find nowhere else...

I usually play female characters. Face it, you don't want to stare at a DUDE for hours and hours and on.

As a Canadian, I'm personally insulted by you dissing Canada Dry. Not only is it crisp and refreshing, but since it is flavoured with ginger it's positively medicinal.

And yeah, I typed "flavoured", not "flavored". That's just how we Canadians do.

I'm pretty surprised at the number of people that link playing female and roleplaying as a female. Even in an MMO, I assumed it was understood that isnt you, unless you explicitly go around telling ppl you're a girl but thats another issue. I'd no sooner assume you are an elf, or a magician in real life... or that that is your real name.. OH WAIT.. Damn you battle.net!!

Not really saying its right or wrong to be immersed, just surprised and never really stopped to think how much into roleplaying (implicitly or explicitly) people are. Pretty interesting.

There is no shame in losing to Peach. Peach is a badass. Consistently.


Indeed. And considering many of my friends play spacies, I get maybe 40-50% from one dsmash on each new stock. They complain that it's imba, and I love it.

My main in WoW was female, but that's because all the males in the Horde were butt ugly, including the blood elves.

My current character in Dragon Age is female, but that's only because I want to get Alistair laid. :D

I've never gotten into playing female characters because whenever I play a game I identify with my character in some way, and obviously I can't identify with being a female if I'm male.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

I play males, cause I pretend their me.

Like Pokemon! I name the guy after myself, and therefore I go on all these adventures. I really don't want to play those games where the person is a girl. Cross dressing is a serious nono
Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is an enemy action. Bus Driver can never target themselves I'm sorry

I've done both, just depends what I think is a good idea at the time or what I think makes sense for the class if it's an RPG. I always make up silly backstories in my head and play in a certain style.

I don't get why people have a problem playing a specific gender, both are awesome heh.

To the guy above me: I went male (vek) in Diamond and female (vekki) in Platinum, share the love :D

My undead male mages name was vek
My undead female warriors name was vekki

I'm very creative with names...

I usualy go for the ugliest character possible, which happen to be male all the time. I somehow find enjoyment in talking to the npcs in the world and wondering why they would not go "oh my god, what's wrong with your face?". That only holds up, when neither female or male would give you an advantage ingame, if so, I just go for the better one, I don't care really.

Man, I played ME1 first time through as Male Shepard, full paragon.

Then I played through as female Shepard, mad renegade, and never looked back. Seriously, female shepard kicks WAY more ass. Agreed with OP, full force. Plus, she's customed so hot it makes the game that much better.

And in ME2 - lesbian tension with Yeoman Kelly... totally worth being Fem Shep for.

While not a playable character I liked The Boss from Metal Gear Solid 3.



Characters I don't like are Mary Sue characters like Rinoa from Final Fantasy 8.
