I must be the only person who likes male Shepard because he has a hilariously unemotional voice. It works wonders on a mostly renegade themed playthrough.Cursed Frogurt said:I chose to play as a female shepard in Mass Effect because I found the male shepard to have an extremely unemotional voice.
please name the videogame where you can RP as a female character where periods and childbirth factor into the story.... Ok maybe Fable.Chairman Miaow said:I would find it easier to imagine myself as that than as a woman. I could never know what it is like to live as a woman. I could speculate, but it would be completely uninformed as I have no experience with periods, childbirth, what it's like to be a woman in society. I have however, fought people, swung a sword etc. so my speculation is a little more informed. Again, not saying you can't play as a woman, just saying I don't see why you would.
This is exactly the kind of answer I was looking for, thank you. I often do make a character completely different to myself, but don't you sometimes want to play a game to pretend you are this flawless hero and escape from real life?Spark Ignition said:but for the record I sometimes play a female character in games such as Fallout 3 to actually boost immersion. When playing a guy the temptation is too great to make ME, and behave as I would (or at least as the flawless hero I would like to be!)
In a morally ambiguous game like Fallout 3 I found it helpful to make a character I could distance myself from, and thus make decisions I wouldn't be comfortable with while roleplaying myself, such as murdering NPCs, blowing up Megaton etc.

Maybe I'm just taking to much from method acting into RPG's huh?Spark Ignition said:please name the videogame where you can RP as a female character where periods and childbirth factor into the story....

No, there are a multitude of genders varying by culture. There are exactly two sexes... and even that is deceptive because there are a certain amount of people who, on a physical or chromosomal level, don't fit into the idea of binary sexes.Ashcrexl said:there are exactly two genders. one is male. the other is female. guys play lots of video games. therefore it should come to reason that guys tend to play males a lot and they tend to play females a lot. plus they dont get to be females in real life, so there's that.
