V gender

[Metrodomus]

Male or Female V . Which do you prefer and why?

[Ichbin]

Male, because I like to immerse myself in a world, and I don't care about making a waifu to play as.

[NIKFS]

female because i much prefer her voiceacting, male v is fine, but female v is better

V is an established character in the universe with his/her own background, wants and needs. There is no "immersing myself" in the blank slate character, because there is no blank slate to speak off. That leaves one most important aspect, quality of voice acting. And female V is the best in that regard. So my vote goes to Valerie.

That is of course my humble opinion.

Female. Voice acting is 100 times better.

Female, the voice acting is way better. Same with Mass Effect and Fallout 4. The male VA's for these games all sound wooden and boring like a hung over Vin Diesel nursing a bad cold with Diazapam.

Well, I disagree with female V being "the best". She sounds like an angry crack ho.

FemV, her voice is much much better, way more life and immersion and romancing Judy is a nice bonus i can't say no to.

On the surface mb. But she has much bigger range of emotions compare to male V actor. And recent Cyberpunk released book, voiced by her, confirms that again.

I like the females voice acting but I mainly play games as my own gender. So not the female lol

[Yuiiski]

I have three different characters, a Nomad and a Streetkid that are both male and a Corpo that is female, but honestly I prefer female V over the male version, I prefer the voice.

[Devilish Dave]

Female, it's pretty wicked to play a badass chick.

I miss it when movies still made strong female leads without taking away their feminity and replacing it with masculine features.

Just to make this clear: calling someone a "simp" is rude and an insult. So, please do not do it.

If you cannot be respectful towards others, regardless of what opinions they have, do not post.

Thanks for being a cool mod.

Male all the way. I did one playthrough as female V, never again.

I started with a Masc Nomad in my very first game and alternated between M and F in every subsequent playthrough. Currently running a Fem Streetkid...will launch a new Masc Nomad in 2.0.

As to why...I like the contrasts in VA style. I have a slight preference for Fem V. Masc V is fine, but still sounds a bit like an actor doing a tough-guy role (Note: not a criticism). Fem V sounds perfectly natural...which is amazing because Cherami Leigh's natural voice is quite different from Fem V's.

Aside from all this, I like playing with clothing outfits and the different romance options. It just adds to the overall richness of the game. I think that people who exclude one or the other, or ignore Lifepath differences are missing out.
