I only do it in WoW because the male models look awful.

It depends. Female characters tend to have much better customization options.

i dont think it's weird. it seems to be really common for some reason. but i almost never do it myself. in fact im prob confident in saying i never do it. used to do it for kotor 2 but my most recent playthru was as a guy, so now it's probably nothingKotOR II I always play as a dude because Handmaiden is fantastic while Disciple fucking sucks.

Why is playing as a female weird? Do you think that by default you're anything like Big Boss just because you have a penis? If so, I got some bad news, mate

I play as both. Female City Elf was OP intro not fair to the rest of the game. Like, can you imagine doing Female City Elf on your first run and then Dailish Elf on your second? --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ...

If so, I got some bad news, mateI don't think it's weird but evidently some people do. However they never have an argument beyond "it's weird". I personally never get into RP enough where I personally identify as my player character, so the gender doesn't matter to me. I usually go by aesthetics. Some male models look way better in games - won't catch me as a female troll in WoW. --- Though the fear of death is a common one, the fear of life is a more rational one. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Taurens though the men just look way better IMO. Orcs/Undead is about equal. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ...

I don't think so. I usually have both copies of a Pokemon game and I go male in one run and female in the other. Also some rpgs have stat differences for the gender you choose so it can also just be about playstyle.

People who think it's unacceptable for guys to play as girls are the weird ones. They're the type of ppl who put way too much weight into wish fulfillment. But most people just play games without the need for wish fulfillment, like oh, I get to play as a cute character, that's nice. Immersion is all in one's head. Just because a character isn't able to resemble a player doesn't mean it is somehow not immersible

Am I the only one who will admit that I like to play female characters in games because it's fun to pretend like you're a girl in an alternate reality?
Has nothing to do with "customization options," "I prefer to look at a girl's behind while i play," or whatever other pathetic excuses you guys always use. Sometimes I just want to be pretty, too! --- Being a Chad is a choice. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I actually play as a female avatar more times in games with custom options because I'm basically playing as a guy in almost every game without them. I prefer more variety in my protagonists.
Although if it's something like Bordlerlands or Diablo I just play whichever class I feel like, regardless of whatever gender it's locked as. --- My Real Blog https://veryrealwow.wixsite.com/website Send a PM with questions and I will reply on my blog.
