Poll: What gender do you choose in RPG's?

[BathorysGraveland]

I'm male and I always play male characters given the chance. I just don't really feel anything for female characters honestly.

Male, playing as female. When I play a game, I want to immerse myself in that world. Playing as a female is a psychological disconnect, so it's easier to play AS the character instead of WITH that character. Whenever I play a male character, I feel more pressured to basically play as me. Choosing what I'd say, rather than the character I'm trying to build. Female characters don't have that kind of attachment, so role-playing is magnitudes easier.

For me, anyway.

Male playing female . I like women more than i like men . And it's always fun to see badass femshep and implied sex with random men . If i was a woman i'd totally be a whore :/

Capcha: piping hot . Yes my femshep is piping hot

Men playing a Male usually. I dunno most of my characters are also white, so there is that as well.

 

[Andy Shandy]

First time round? Male play as a male. However if I play through the game again, I will play as a female that time.

 

[Samurai Silhouette]

Girls, because RPG devs usually make them nice to look at.

 

[HarryScull]

I play as whoever looks more visually appealing, bearing in mind that I am a straight male that means I normally play female characters, lets be honest would you rather look at man ass or women ass for the days worth of fallout you will be playing

50-50/depends on the game. Female in Mass Effect, because... Jennifer Hale. There is no other Shepard.

I rarely stick to one character build in an RPG.

 

[Vkmies]

I like to ROLE PLAY in my ROLE PLAYING GAMES.

And since I am male, I find male characters the easiest to relate to and to create as a picture of myself in the games world.

For me, it actually seems to be somewhat random.
I hereby demand a random/no preference option.

Male playing as female.

For whatever reason Ive always just preferred women. Their company and personality and conversation. It's easier for me to deal with their bullshit then it is for me to deal with guy bullshit too. That preference just sort of carried over into RPG's. I just... Like women better.

In MMOs I often believe in gender roles.

Tanks are female just because chicks in armor are incredibly hot.

Wizards, mages, conjurors, etc. can be either/or depending on what I'm in the mood for.

Healers are almost always male.

And your sneak types... well... I like to believe they are genderless, soulless, amorphous beings that simply exist to appease the children out there who still think ninjas are the coolest thing ever

Male playing as male. If it is an RPG where I can play as myself rather than a character given to me, I always feel slightly off when I try to play a female. It just doesn't sit right with me.

 

[KefkaCultist]

I'm a male and I generally play females, but I'm gay so that's my usual playing team anyway lol. ^_^

 

[RatRace123]

I'm a male, and I usually make an even split in terms of character gender.

Depends on the game really.

 

[The Last Nomad]

Male first and foremost. Makes it easier to identify with. On a second playthrough I might pick female. But if its a party based RPG where I get to create more than one, one of them will probably be female.

 

[Mordekaien]

I play as male protagonist, most of the times, because I'm a male and I like to immerse myself in the game and female characters would put me off. However, I can still enjoy a good female character in a game (for example Konoko from Oni, she's pretty awesome character-wise), but if there is a choice, I'll go for male.
