So if I understand you correctly you are only able to play characters you can imagine you'd be. Well theres the big difference between the both of us. I don't need to live, play or understand my character to enjoy a game. For me gameplay determines if I find a game enjoyable and the character I play is just a digital substitute so I can perform the actions I desire in said game I enjoy playing. If I wanted to roleplay my character I'd join one of the many D&D sessions in my hometown, but ofcourse thats me.Chairman Miaow said:As has been already said in this thread multiple times, no, I am not (insert example here) but I can relate more to male characters than female ones. I don't want to be them, and I don't want them to be me, but if I can't relate to them, the whole story becomes irrelevant. My character in Fable 3 was an obese selfish multimillionaire. I am none of those thing, but I can speculate at what being those things are better than I could a woman.drdamo said:2. I don't need to play a man to feel like a man. I admit, I'm no atlethe, but is a stereotypical physique really that awesome? Can you only identify yourself with your avatar if the sexe equals your own? I don't have the feeling I need to compensate for one thing or another so when the choice is there I'll go for pleasing visuals. However, I'm not saying I never play male chars, it really depends on how customized your char can be. If the option is there to make the char like myself, including the non-atlethic physique I prefer that, yet for some reason you rarely are able to play grotesque characters online.

I was going to try and write a retort, but reading "badonkadonk" *ROFL* prevents me from getting anywhere...Warty Bliggens said:WanderingFool said:Honestly, If Im going to look at a characters ass for 30 plus hours, Why not make it a nice ass?LightPurpleLighter said:My roommate says he plays female characters because he'd rather stare at a girl's ass than a guy's.If you're automatically staring at your character's ass the entire time, you need to get laid. Most of my time playing World of Warcraft is spent watching a horned head bob up and down, despite the female draenei's notoriously exquisite badonkadonk.The Jakeinator said:Because people would rather see the ass of a skimpy young female then an overpowered psycho space marine.
Because regardless of what people say, both sexes are very different (generally and physically), I'm not saying either is better than the other but they are very different. Sex and gender are, always have been, and probably always will be a big deal in society.drdamo said:So if I understand you correctly you are only able to play characters you can imagine you'd be.

And an obese selfish multimillionaire female won't differ much from a male one. Same point of view, same desires, same goals, same attitude; only physical appearance will differ together with intimate relations (and even that isn't a fact as that certain female can choose to love other females just as much as the male variant can choose to like males).
You've already determined the primairy emotional expressions of the character so I don't really understand why the sexe is such a big deal.
I have always been female Sherpard, so I do not even know what the male one sounds like.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.
