Yea, a lot of the mods seem out of place.A Weakgeek said:Well, I guess I didn't try hard enough with the chargen. The fact that there are no especially attractive NPCs either made me think its probably not possible to do.GonzoGamer said:My first playthrough of Fallout 3 was male because I couldn't get a female face out of that thing that didn't look like a Disneyworld Hall of Presidents automatron if our presidents were inbred.A Weakgeek said:In videogames I tend to go female when they are prettier (Games like Fallout 3 or elderscrolls for example I dont, because the women are ugly) , because I like looking at ass and tits, and I'm not the kind to rp by myself.
Then when my wife played, she played around with the face for like 45 mins (we play the sims games too so that part is actually fun for us) and got a supermodel. So on my second playthrough, I played around with it for a little longer and with my wife's help, was able to get someone who wasn't altogether unattractive. I did the same in New Vegas, and got a supermodel myself. So, you just got to play with it a while.
I essentially feel the same way you do. I don't exactly project myself on to these characters, so if I'm going to be looking at someone for hours on end, I find the female form more attractive; not that I have anything against people who feel the other way. If you prefer to project yourself it's fine but if playing a female character in a game "awkward" I think you're putting too much into it.
However, I never played a female character in analog RPG except when GMing of course.
And all the mods for Bethesda games that involve women make them look like anime characters out of DOA...
Yea, I thought it wasn't possible either after meeting/killing/eating quite a few women in Fallout 3 but I guess they didn't want to spend too much time in their chargen setup either...or maybe they just thought that most everybody in a post apocalyptic hellscape wouldn't be too attractive.
Doesn't explain ElderScrolls though. I have one companion who is kickass but it's too bad she looks like David Bowie in that video where he does all that creepy drag modeling.
