Guys who play as female characters, why?

[Guh]

Man I can't count on 200 hands how many guys I've seen and met who has a female character. Its the mods isn't it?

Because when I create a character, I do it off a....image in my head?

For example, lets use Wilds. I usually make a character for each type of weapon, looking a specific way, with very specific armor choices, because I'm trying to recreate in game what I saw in my mind.

In this case, when I saw the Insect Glaive, I instantly made a almost Ariel disney princess, with bright red hair. Why? That's just who I saw.

When I play a healer, i USUALLY pick a female character. Why? Because it...fits? Not sure how to explain it.

I agree. How in the world can a woman be a Monster Hunter?

Why would I ever play a dude?

It's not really a big deal, but if I'm going to get to choose to put someone in front of me with no gameplay difference, why would I ever choose something I found less aesthetically pleasing?

Why do I want to watch a guy for hours at a time as he lets out manly grunts?

I constantly alter what type of character I play and usually play a mix of both. In story driven games a lot comes down to voiceacting for me. I play on the German dub and half the VAs they casted for the main characters do a lot of VA work, so I simply know their voices from commercials etc.

I personally just find voice 2 to be the most pleasant to listen to, so due to my character speaking a lot, I chose to play a female character in Wilds.

Additionally I also like the "badass female lead" archetype and with the removal of genderlocked armors I can finally play that, without being dressed in a bikini.

I've picked the female body type since the first game and it didn't have mods. I've just always done so and didn't really think much of it. The only time I didn't was when I did a challenge run/cosplay of Mogul Kahn where in MHGen, i only use Adept Swaxe and only in axe mode.

And you insulting people on message boards has the panties dropping for sure!

Take it as a wake up call and not an insult

Dunno if you heard the new executive orders but it's now mandated users post selfies when talking trash online. It's for context, and to support better behavior in online forums.
That said, your selfie had better be timestamped with current date and you bad better look like a CHAD or you're toast bro.
.come here looking like a reddit mod, neck beard hanging out while talking that smack and it's a bad day to be you online.

its far easier to immerse myself into a character when the character isnt me at all. i dont want to be me in a video game i want to be something else entirely

[Lynsis]

because i like playing dress up with a female character instead of a male.

I wouldn't let 5 minutes in any game world lol I don't wanna play a half blind, half deaf, 1 armed, bad hip, bad knees, varicose viens hero 🤣🤣

But I don't get immersed in games either however for me it just became habit after some time, and I don't know why I started. I do remember some older games offering better cosmetic looks and design for females.

Facts lol they get better options in a lot of past games haha

[ospholis]

Men embracing their femininity, I love to see it.

Seeing a skinny lady carrying a big weapon looks more impressive and fantasy-like. In other games it could be just because of a smaller hit box. Male artists draw female characters all the time in comics and anime. The only confusion people may be having is their own sexuality.
