Why do you play as a female character? Skimpy armor, big boobs ect ect.

[breton.]

I've been playing Skyrim for a very long time now, but I've never really understood why someone would run around half naked, with bouncing boobs and give every male a hard on, in an RPG. For me, and in general, it is a total immersion killer and so out of place.

Am I the only one who doesn't wanna play a great game like Skyrim with a boner the entire time?
But people really seem to favor such things, which I don't get at all. Like, take a look at some of the mods on the Nexus for instance. Mods like Schlongs of Skyrim (!?), Skimpy Armor Sets UNP and Adult Show XXX has gotten hundreds if not thousands of endorsements.

I know people have different tastes, that some people want to have sex with every NPC in the game, and that others just wanna wreck stuff up and that the last just wanna immerse themself. Roleplay and such, which is really fun in my opinion.

So yeah... Why do you play as a skimpy, lusty, boobs bouncing, bikini-wearing prostitute?


I'm asking nicely.

Why i play as a female sometimes? 2 reasons:
-i flipped a coin and it said female...
-or i felt like playin as a girl at some time...

honestly, i dont need this skimpy stuff, my girl is better :D
guess why i dont have it... anymore :D

i usualy make a caracter that look as much as me
it help get more imerse in the game and do thing that would never do in real life(like dangeling down a rope for a couple miles)

We.. why not?

Would it not be even more weird playing as a fireball throwing walking talking lizard?

[Nekomancer]

i think its just an issue of variety. no one like's playing as thier gender 24/7.

It wouldn't be wierd to play as a " fireball throwing walking talking lizard ", because it is a part of Tamrealic lore. Casting fireballs is lorefriendly. Drinking dragon jizz, is not.

Just because you play a female charachter doesn't mean that you play with a boner all the time. I know some people just want their charachter to look as good as possible, which might mean attractive, muscly or curvaceous.

I usually play different charachters to go with a theme... badass warrior, sneaky vampire or speedy archer etc.

Something called CrotchGuzzler has an issue with other player's choices? Huh.

[The Baron]

Why not? Simply put, I don't in this game or any others, project myself into my characters. I'd prefer to look at a woman (your mileage may vary of course) and if anything, I'm more protective of female characters than I am of males.

I also don't watse much time being judgemental of others, but that's another story.

Oh boy, you'll touch a tick nerve of some users around here, expect a flamewar.

I personally don't care how other people play their game, I'm only sick of seeing pinups like on every freakin' Skyrim-related stuff.

Suspect that was the idea.

Tried to play as a female once kept looking a myself naked did now want put on any Armor. I am afraid I can only play as a Male.

I am a man who plays as a female in Skyrim. But my character isn’t dressed in a skimpy outfit and I don’t use mods to make her look like a glam model.

Why do I play as a female? Part of it that it’s a nice antidote to the generic muscular protagonists who populate most games.

I also feel more protective to a female character

And yes, I like to watch the female form. Not in a lecherous way (and I certainly don't think that all women should look like models), but I like women. And in real life I’m attracted (again not in a lecherous way :-) too feisty women with strength of character, so watching a female adventurer is fun for me.

The remaining reason is simple. Because I can. It’s fun for me to play a character that is clearly not me.

But to be honest, I would feel uncomfortable playing a female in an MMO. If I’m going to play Skyrim Online I will create a character is a fair representation of me.

It’s a fair question, even though it was awkwardly phrased. I certainly didn’t mind answering.

I toggle between characters. One will be a male Nord and when I get tired of that character I make a female one..... Then back again. I don't have any skimpy crap or nude sex things installed as I prefer to have a lore friendly feel.

I play female characters all the time. But since I play first person, it's NOT about the bouncing buttocks or anything like that. It's about *roleplaying*, and for those characters part of the role happens to be female. Such as "I'm a female conjurer from High Rock on a quest to find the forbidden magics".
