Not a guy,I just wanna say that I am surprised.I mean yeah,I know some guys only pick the female because they like to stare at her (seen enough screenshots posted online from games to be disgusted) but I am surprised some people actually look at the design when they pick the character.When I was a kid being a female was a huge no,even if they didn't gave you stats or something.All the guys around me were saying how the female character is "weaker" and that they shouldn't even be used as options in games cause "who wants a weak character?"

I always play a girl whenever possible. Always have.

If the game/story is good, I don't fucking care.

All my custom characters are female...red hair...green eyes...and all have the same name of Lita

.... Batman why are your ears growing long?

I always play the female character

It was once a good game and now has basically been destroyed, the game can still be fun but it’s a shadow of what it used to be

I loved it. The Temple of the Ocean King gave me anxiety though.

Aria Math. C418 as a whole is an amazing artist and I wish people listened to his other music outside of Minecraft.

Definitely, in games with character creation I like to make mine a woman, and games like dishonored 2 I always play as Emily

Brace yourselfs '' ass comments" are coming.

Elden Ring is funny specifically to me as options are equal for both but you end up spending most of your time completely covered in armor so the Avatar underneath is pointless lol

Same for me.

I pretty much exclusively play female characters if possible, but it also depends a lot on costume design.

Yes.

I'm not trans I swear.

monkaS The Booty Warrior..

Yeah me too. The look of the character and equipment has alot to do with it. I’ve notice that for me anyways alot of the more modern games that give you a choice the female characters have better options.

Smaller hit boxes

Is this a joke question?

I do depending on the game and options.

I've never really seen the character as an in-game avatar projection of me.

I see them as a 3rd party that I'm simply controlling.

When there are no options (think Lara Croft or RDR2, where you're controlling the main character, you don't get a gender choice) I'm not upset because I have to play an off-gender.

In MMO's or things like Souls games - I'll create toons of both genders simply for variety.

I hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me.

Only one series comes to mind, Mass Effect

Hale (FemShep) just played the role so much better IMO

Also, because Samantha is genuinely best girl and let it be known that the Normandy was saved by a toothbrush

If I have the choice that's what I pick every time.
