Why do you guys play as female characters?

[gilgameh]

I get it if you're a girl, but I've recently realized I've never chosen a female character, always a mighty male hero.

I prefer first person in Skyrim so I'm not looking at any butts actually.

Personally, I feel that female video game characters rarely get that much empowerment as a main playable character the way Skyrim does it. The only other game to pluck on that was the Metroid franchise.

Is that before or after all of the anime sex doll mods people add?

Don't get that anyone is interested enough in this question to start a thread about this.

Most Mods are all about the females my females are athletic beutiful and you can fine tune the body face and hairs as detailed and to your liking as you want. And Man just grosses me out Id rather look at a animated female anyday.

I always have and always will. I just prefer the options for customising for females than males in games and that is true of the character mods in Skyrim too.

Because 9 times out of 10, more care and effort is put into the models for female PCs. Generally speaking, the guys in games tend to be blocky and flat.

Nothing wrong with wanting to play a female character when the model assests clearly got more love than the male ones.

Granted...they usually do that to appeal to male players anyway...

Statistical advantage. The game has two abilities, namely Agent of Dibella[en.uesp.net] and Lover's Insight[en.uesp.net] which when both combined, adds an additional 20% damage against male characters. And as explained in the Notes on the Bandit[en.uesp.net] page on uesp, male bandits are twice as likely to be encountered as opposed to female ones.

The thing about these two abilities is that they also apply to creatures, and from what I can gather, only one type of female creature exists in the game, which is female falmer (shamans). It is essentially a free damage bonus against every creature and more than half of all NPCs as well.

When given the choice, I prefer to play as characters I find attractive. Especially if there is a third person perspective.

Why do you play a dude, dood?

I play as a dude because I am a dude. Never really given it much thought. I suppose I can relate to a male character easier.

Dude it's a single player game and you're minmaxing

Depends on the game really, but I like to play a 50/50 split between all my games. I find some games default females are just more aethetically pleasing - games like Mass Effect come to mind here, where I find Femshep looks good, whereas Male Shep looks like he's going to go pound his club off a rock in some cave (ooga ooga, me Shepard).

With Skyrim when I make new characters thoughi it's usually just random. Whatever I'm feeling the day of character creation is what I stick with. I find alot of times in Skyrim too Race places a huge factor. Some races like Orcs, I find females look ridiculous - and vice versa with elves, where I find males look elongated.

In co-op games I tend to always play female, because my one main co-op friend always plays guys - visual distinction and whatnot.

So many reasons.
