When you create your character in a video game do you play as a male or a female? And why?
>>
>>739257826
I pick a boy and try to make them look like me as much as I can.
>>
surely this thread will go well
>>
I've done both
>why
aesthetics
lots of times you get different animations. Games where there is no difference I probably don't even play
>>
>>739257826
i don't exclusively do either
>>
I wish females were real
>>
>>739257826
I usually play as a girl and make her look like my wife if possible.
>>
>>739257826
if i have to ACTUALLY create a character then i go with the default male look because i dont care. If i have to choose between premade characters then my priority is hot -> cool -> funny -> everything else
>>
>>739257826

>>739257826
Default male model, maybe change his hair color. The only time i played a female was Nioh2, and even then did males for some runs
>>
>>739257826
buff old guy, and I name him flavor town
>>
>>739257826
>Female
because I don't want to watch a man's butt and hear man moaning at pain.
>>
>>739257826
Depends of one single fact: does the game gives me a romance option? if it does, i go male, otherwise i go female because i like girls.
>>
>>739257826
I create a balding fatso to go around and harass female characters
If a game has crouching mechanic it's 10/10 because I can look up their skirts
>>
>>739257826
Depends on the game
>>
i'm going to make a brown warrior lady
>>
Female, because girls are cute. I also don't play many games with romantic elements in them unless it's yuri. More girls means more cute.
>>
>>739257826
Make with full face helmet

Female

To put her in the lewdest outfit and lust on her. Duh.

I usually make a female character. I give her tons of outfits. Goofy outfits, cute outfits, sexy outfits (like a summer bikini), and cool outfits(like a full demonic armor set or a streetwear/future look).
>>
I like cool and sexy females, there's a clear lack of them so if given the choice I go for them.
If they aren't hot I'm not interested, which is why I play male on westcuck games like Mass Effect (it help that male shepard is cool, while fem shepard looks wrong and like a bitch tomboy)
I also will go with male if the main appeal of the game is romance though, especially if you can't go for the girls.

>>739257826
it depends on the game setting and what character i feel like making or what backstory i think of. also how good the character creator is and what customization options there are. i like making huge grizzled warrior guys if i can but in most games the customization options for male characters suck ass and end up looking really gay so i just end up defaulting to the easy option of making a cute girl because you can have more fun with limited options

Whichever offers the best techniques or cosmetics.

Always male, especially if there's romance with the ladies and having kids. Only time I pick female is my first time with an mmo since thats the character I'll typically spend the most hours on. If it's a second character in the same mmo I'll pick male and speed run everything. Still haven't played femshep after all these years and no i dont care if the VA's delivery is better.

If I can't (most western games), I pick male and I make the ugliest bastard imaginable

Romance can only exist between a man and a woman
>>
>>739257826
just depends on the character creator really
if its a realistic game i will usually make an old man and if its stylized i will usually make an edgy looking anime girl

>>739261537
Femshep is fine, but overrated. Maybe the delivery is better in some places, maybe technically, but being a smaller and a chick just inherently takes the bite out of some of the dialogue as well since the actual script doesn't really change which means lines that they are more intimidating from a guy and just don't have the impact when a redhead says it, so it cuts both ways.

Depends on who developed the game
>Western game
>create giga nigga destroyer body builder
>Eastern game
>create pretty princess brown tomboy tradwife with short hair and stripped panties
Im not playing as a woman in a western game since they're all fucking ugly and I'm not playing as a twink in an Eastern game.

It's all fiction, none of it matters and yuri is fantasy.

You could fantasize about anything and you're choosing to fantasize about women have sex with people other than (you)

Although you are supposed to be self inserting as the man in regular porn. Meanwhile in dyke porn there's no one for you to self insert as unless you're a troon, so you're a troon or fantasizing about sitting in the corner.

>game has no romance, PC generally silent/not story heavy game? make a hot girl if possible

There are other stipulations but those are my general rules.

Like 99.9% male because the female characters look ugly or too korean-plastic like while I can mask dudes with cool as fuck armor and helmets.

>>739257826
Currently playing a male hunter in GU. However when I play Rise I will probably make a female hunter because they look like THAT
>>
>>739257826
When I can I try to make it either a zombie or a skeleton
>why?
cuz they're cool
>>
I almost always play as girls because I want to stare at a female ass when I run

"men" who willingly make type B characters to play as are a few steps away from trooncord
>>
>>739257826
i replay games so i generally tend to try every single option available
>>
>>739257826
I play male 90% of the time.
If I have 200+ hours and make multiple characters, then maybe one out 5 will be female.

If there is a character creator I make a male.
If it is a pick your established protag I pick female.

In games with a variety of established characters to pick from I play either gender but probably gravitate to more female characters overall.

I have never felt any particular discomfort playing characters different from myself so don't really understand why people say they wouldn't play games with female protagonists or many women who will only play with a girl character in mmos/mobas/hero shooters/fighting games.
>>
>>739264171
This is the correct way to do it. Japan understands it too with Monster Hunter as the prime example. Male armor makes you look like a Super Sentai armored knight, while female armor is super cute or skimpy. A western company would just start making the men and women wear the same armor selling the same vision for both *cough* milds *cough*
>>
>>739257826
First playthrough? Male
Second playthrough? Female
and so on. also Rampage-chan cute
>>
>>739263437
Honestly, I dont even like editing male shep since the marketing and box have his default. Im fine playing him differently each playthrough but hearing his voice on anything that isnt default is wrong to me. I even feel the same way for femshep, even if I dont play her. Just feels wrong.
>>
>>739257826
Depends on the game. Monster Hunter and PSO, always a girl. MMOs, always a dude. Everything else is up in the air.
>>
>>739265903
I never got this, if a game has a lot of empty spaces of just running I'd get bored no matter who I was playing as. If im playing a game like nier and just staring at 2B's ass I'm gonna get hit. Even BotW im at least looking around for little secrets to find but still not looking at the character exceptfor combat. I almost always look at everything but the character since they stay in the same relative spot on the screen.

If it's a story based game, male. If it's not, female.

First male, so I can concentrate on the gameplay and the story, then female to get the more sluttiest goonbait available.

Lesbian here.

Just a reminder that we are taking over. The fact is women have NEVER been attracted to men: we needed them for protection, economic support and procreation, and sex is what we traded for those things (or they just raped us).

But now? First-world men have been totally domesticated, so no need to worry about violence. We're taking over the work force too, so we can provide for ourselves. And medical science has made procreative sex totally unnecessary; we can just buy the sperm (with our superior earnings) and have it cleanly injected without getting within ten feet of a penis.

Women are naturally more attracted to other women. Who wouldn't be? We're beautiful, soft and smooth and curvy, basically the opposite of hairy oafish ape-like men. And we know how to please each other like no man ever could. Lesbian sex can last for hours.

Every day more and more "straight" girls are being turned. The world of the future is where a small number of strong men act as our designated studs and the rest of you losers are eunuchs designated for manual labor exclusively. Deal with it.

Both if there are gender locked classes, for those particular classes. Male if not.

I don't like creating characters. Character creators are the mark of slop.
