Well good, because I certainly didn't mean any offense.The Apothecarry said:I hadn't intended that at all. And I say this without having taken any offense.
Realistically? It doesn't. But realistically? People aren't always realistic.Yureina said:Not sure how playing a female character in a game could possibly translate into homosexuality, but... okay.Austin Ashe said:Because we want to assert the fact that we aren't homosexual for wanting to play a female character.
At least, that's my guess.
My kind of woman XDThe Apothecarry said:I have no doubt that the characters have something to with my subconscious desires. I'd love to spend a week with my Shadowrun character despite the fact that she's tailored to be a heartless ***** and a cold-blooded killer.Risingblade said:Maybe you have a thing for the kind of women you roleplay as?
There's also this. Maybe part of the reason it's so common for men to roll women characters is simply due to the fact that there's an overabundance of male characters in just about every game.Mallefunction said:Considering most game protagonists are male, I've had no choice on many occasions
That's exploitation of a skill. Albeit, I'd rather play a female rogue that intimidates the shop keeper rather than seduce him. The knocking out thing is funny, and it is a bit weird but that's how he wanted his character to operate.jigaboon said:So i had this friend i used to play D&D with, and he had a female rogue with a ridiculously high charisma score. We would go into shops/inns where he/she would proceed to seduce the shop keep, lure him somewhere secure, knock him out then rob him blind. I always thought it was kinda creepy...
I find that I can project myself into the place of either a male or female protagonist. If I ever ask myself why I play a female character, the best answer I can formulate is "to be different." Male gunslingers are a easy to come by. Female gunslingers I don't see much of in games.DanielDeFig said:I do this a lot when creating characters for RPG games. I suppose it's because it's easier to detach from a female character and see it as HER story, than it is when creating male characters, where I tend to project MYSELF a little too much to create the illusion of it being someone else's story.
Also, if you're gonna be staring at you character's butt for 30-50+ hours, then I personally prefer to stare at a type of butt I find pleasing to look at. XP!
I play the least feminine female characters I can. A female dragonborn paladin whose day job is acting as the inquisitor of the church, for example. Or a chain-smoking, foul-mothed gun-for-hire.emeraldrafael said:Id otn see anything wrong with it. it lets me get out a more feminine side i cant normally show for fear Worry of five guys jumping me in the street for being a pussy (thats not even exaggeration).
I know I had to do it multiple times. the first time cause we needed a female character, and cause I was one of the admins in the game, I had to play her, as well as my male character. Since then, I've done it just for fun, and when I do TWEWY rps, I'll constantly have my two person team be one male, and one female.
Its like the guys that play pokemon games as the girl, or vice versa. you just want to be different.
You could really ask the same question about playing a different race colour then you are.
That's how I like to run my characters. Ask my Shadowrun character if she'd like to go home from the bar with you and she's probably shoot you in the foot. Get her drunk, ask her again, and you'll lose an eye.cainx10a said:I always role-play as a "toph" girl/woman goody-doer. "hey lass, want me to give you a good time?" *kick to the groin* > . >
For males, it's the general suave goody-doer.
Never really been able to role-play otherwise. :s
