I tend to play female characters. Only because of the smaller hitbox tho, definitely not for other reasons.
:3
i play female characters because it’s better for speedruns :3
no i don’t do speedruns, why do you ask?
I usually play a female character, because if im going to stare at an ass for 120 hours, it might as well be a nice ass.
My wife plays as a male and I play as a female. When we were playing wow, random male characters would drop me 100gold at a time. This is when we were very early into wow and we just started getting silvers.
Star Wars Galaxies I would leave my character dancing in a cantina and come back to thousands of tips in credits.
I did the same. I normally wearing skimpy clothes. Unfortunately in WoW you have to be there to accept.
You can’t talk about immersion if your Skyrim character looks like that. Nothing immersive about it.
Playing the opposite gender would knock me out of immersion much less than installing that many anime-ish mods.
For me that depends on a game. I noticed that in a fantasy game I usually pick female character and if it’s more normal earthly setting (especially shooters) I go with male. I don’t know why, maybe because of outfits. For me fantastical outfits look cooler on girls and military outfits look cooler on dudes.
I’m a big, fat, hairy, cishet dude, and I always play as a woman when it’s an option. Female characters generally get more attention from the developers (for obvious reasons), so they usually have better designs and animations, resulting in an objectively higher-quality product. It’s also fun in multiplayer games because toxic dweebs hate it when they think they lost to a girl.
The same toxic dweebs might also go weird towards you sometimes, it’s definitely an experience getting to know why a lot of women carry pepper spray in public.
100%
I was playing Monster Hunter World and made a character based on the Hub Lass.
It took less than two hours online to get someone asking if I have a boyfriend.
funnily enough that’s exactly (but opposite) what i told myself before i realised i was a trans man
“oh i play exclusively male characters because they have better armour models and the animations look more immersive, and i prefer to hear a dude talk/groan when i’m in dialogue or get hit. no other reason haha”
I’ve just come to the conclusion that my digital persona is a woman. I’m a cis hetero man in real life though. Not really any questions about it. But even in VR, I just exist as a lady.

Why would I want to look at a dudes ass in third person for 120 hours?
I heard this several times and it confuses me a lot. Are you actually looking at the backside of the character instead of the rest of the game?
Hey, we’re not here to judge. You can look at dude-ass to your heart’s content.
If they keep stacking em, I’ll keep packin, em.
120 hours
Commander Shephard?
It’s their favourite perspective in the citadel.
Don’t you romance dudes as a female character?
Only when it’s necessary for the plot
I don’t like ruining my 100% lesbian runs
Not always…
If I’m going to spend several hours staring at the backside of a character, I want it to be a cute girl, thank you.
I play opposite gender so i can fapping while playing
Boy wait until you hear about this thing called internet porn. Gonna blow your mind.
Female characters sometimes have smaller hitboxes.
I played as the opposite gender one (1) time in 2010, to hear the novelty of the female VA for the protagonist in a fully voiced game after two runs as the male protagonist, and I haven’t stopped since. RIP me 😔
Mass Effect?
For me it was Mass Effect.
Mass Effect 2, yes
I’ve tried it once or twice, really isn’t for me, always end up going back to a male character. Maybe if I played more in third person, I’d be more likely to play as a female one… but probably still no.
