Does no one play male v?

[Licoix]

All the promotional stuff, even the phantom liberty ending shows female V, and most videos i've seen of people playing have picked female V, is male V just not popular, is it the voice acting?

If you go to a doggy daycare center, would you expect to find many cats?

If you go to desert, would you expect to find many aquatic animals?

If you go to a butcher’s, would you expect to find a lot of vegetables and greens?

What is posted here on Steam and on social media represents only a subset of the TOTAL playerbase. If you extrapolate what you see posted here + social media, of course the end result is going to be biased towards one end or another (because social media is inherently biased. Who woulda thunk it?!?!).

Now since CDPR has withheld player statistics (which isn’t unusual), there’s no definitive evidence to support either female or male V is more popular but there’s also no definitive evidence to say that they’re equally popular.

There is only supposition from the public. CDPR only knows the truth.

I mean... while I completely agree... I think we can use some basic assumptions to determine that the most likely outcome of such polling data would be that most people play female V. How do we know this? Because women almost always play females in games and males often times play females in games. Now while it's arguable around how many men play females in games I think it's safe to say that between the women playing female characters and the men playing them we could probably come to the conclusion that Female V is probably the most popular.

I can't ignore that Drea does a hilarious Snape, Hagrid, Hannibal Lecter and more...
"I have conditions of my own. 1. I want a cellmate. 2. I want a big wok. 3. I don't want to be in prison anymore." as Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Too bad Night City isn't as lighthearted as that. I'd love to hear some outtakes. (BG3 has a couple of sets of outtakes from the narrator.)

All depends on what you are trying to attract.

I do! Male V romances Panam! Yahoooooo!

[Carinthian Oak]

Always played male V, but now i'm at my first female V Corpo Run.
Besides Voice Acting and different dialogue, i love the new animations for walking/sitting and stuff like that, even the shoes (high heels) sound different. Love the little details and it opens a new experience for me.

One sure reason to try a female MC in an RPG game for me is "error_not_enough_beauty". that is - if by my (subjective, opinionated, biased) standards I don't like any of the female characters in the game, I can at least compensate with an MC that's easy on the eyes.

Since I'm used to heavily modding games I know my way around all necessary assets, like textures, animations, meshes, rigs etc - so taking what community has done as a lego-puzzle and crafting something remarkable out of it is part of the challenge.

In CP2077 I don't like almost all female characters... save Judy. But it's impossible to romance her as male V and she still got some stuff I don't like. Which is why when I need to scratch that itch for "beauty" - female V it is.

My one issue with Male V. I can't find a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ decent pair of pants. I can barely find a passable shirt.

God no.

I need some solid Cargo Pants without accoutrements or advertisements or racing stripes. Preferbly Gray or Black.

Maybe some Blue Jeans. Again Solid Color without Chaffs, Logo's, etc (And not the slimfit ones, tried those). I went through most of the game with the sweat pants ones with the Undercoating (Leather undering) for lack of better options.)

Most of the clothing has some style or flair frill stuff that ruins it for me. I am very picky what my V wears.

I can't remember if it's V's pants or something else but there is a decent set of plain jeans. There's also the corpo trousers from what used to be (and presumably still is) the legendary corpo suit set that are plain black (Breathable Reinforced Bio-Cotton Corporate Slacks). For cargo pants the legendary media ones (Anti-piercing tactical media cargo pants) ? Although they have extra flaps.

My male V being a Nomad would just wear whatever till he got the aldecaldos jackeT

Female V all the way, every day.

Male V sounds like Moe Szyslak from the Simpsons trying to be gangsta.

Male V sounds like Duke Nukem if somebody punched him in the throat.

Male V sounds like a background extra in a Three Stooges movie.

[Zero McDol]

I mean, I don't exactly yell and scream that I play a Male V; I just play a male V and leave it at that.

[Izzy Wit Da Uzi]

Female V sounds like the fakest most wannabe gangsta I've ever heard. She's like the female version of B-Rad from Malibu's Most Wanted. She reminds me of the "catch me outside" girl that was on Dr. Phil. Typical suburban girl trying to sounds like a thug. Every time I hear female V speak, I feel like I'm putting myself at risk of getting ear cancer.

Just a reminder - with Mass Effect, everyone online kept going on about how awesome FemShep was, how much better Jen Hale's VA work was, etc. You'd think that everyone played FemShep.

When Bioware released the collected statistics after Mass Effect 3, it said that 80% of people played MaleShep.

So just because you keep seeing people talk about & post screenshots of their female V, doesn't mean that "everyone" is playing her.


(I don't have an issue playing female characters in games that give the option, because the character is NOT me. Regardless of the game's perspective. Probably related to the thing where I don't do "immersion", either. /shrug)
