For the most part they don't really give you a choice in gender, so I'll usually play whatever gender the protagonist is.
If you're talking about games like Fallout 3 and DAO, I always go male; It feels kinda awkward when you realise you play as a hot sexy ***** in the game, while you can stare at your own hypnotising ass.

I almost always play as a female character, despite being male myself. Yet this isn't because I want to stare at a hotter avatar (though eye candy isn't a bad thing) but more because I want to see more strong females in games. I can count of one hand the number of good games with good female protagonists in them. Primal and Drakan: The Ancient Gates, both on Play Station 2. They're some of my favourite games of all time, and a big part of that are the awesome protagonists, Jen and Ryn.
Female when I can.
Only exception being BorderLands because if I chose female it would lock me under the one class that I don't like using.

Basically this.Greyfox105 said:
I don't fancy video game characters, so I don't use the old, tired "if I'm gonna look at an ass all day..." excuse.
While in RPGs I initially start with a female character (being female myself), if they don't look good compared to the males, I don't choose them. Basically, I want a toon that looks awesome, gender really isn't an issue at that point.
More often male than female, though it depends on the game, and I have no idea why I pick certain genders for certain games.
The Baldur's Gate games, I played a male (and also customized the character with recordings of myself doing a bad Ah-nuld impersonation for the various sound triggers).
The Neverwinter Nights games I always played female characters (with a bunch of custom models. Okay, I'll admit, a couple of the characters I made were a bit underdressed, particularly the barbarian in NWN2, who was in total Red Sonja chainmail bikini mode, but hey, it's tradition!)
Oblivion I played a male (custom race, FaceGen-customized face blending photos of Viggo Mortensen and Christian Bale.) Of course, TES games are one of the very few out there that actually have stat differences for males vs females, so there's a bit of justification there.
Any given fighting game...2D or 3D...I will always gravitate towards learning the female characters (assuming there are any) first. Have no idea why.

I didn't realise that Oblivion gave different genders different stats, i guess if that where the case in a game i was playing i'd give it some more thought.Trifixion said:
Either or. I generally play through as a female first though but I always make it a point to play through as both.
I'd rather play as a male because I'm a male too. Simlpe as that. But I didn't mind playing as a female in Bayonetta or P.N.0.3.
