Most of the time I make female characters because its just more.. Fun?
I mean at fallout 3, i can dress my female character in a pink dress, and punch a huge rabid bear once and its head explodes.
Used both female and male for mass effect. Male for Miranda's ass, and female for err.. I don't know why but the female default ones looks and feels more badass.

I like to play as both, alternately. Usually I'll play as a male first (I'm male) and then female on my second playthrough, but in KotoR I played as a female on my first and only playthrough and really enjoyed it.
EDIT: Oh yeah I should say, I play both male and female characters because I enjoy different roleplaying perspectives, and creating different characters - nothing to do with appearance. I find it interesting that many guys seem to have made their female characters evil ? In Mass Effect I did the opposite, my first (male) playthrough was mostly renegade, and my second (female) was mostly paragon.

I'm a girl and I mostly play MMORPGs, I used to play female characters for years but started to get bored so now I sometimes play male characters too.
I bought the game, so why not try all the content out, that's one good reason! Plus, I like to see how hot I can make a male character

I used to do that too... but every time I played online as a male I got hit on all the time, asking if I wanted to go into a "private chat" ...J1NXY0 said:I'm a girl and I mostly play MMORPGs, I used to play female characters for years but started to get bored so now I sometimes play male characters too.

Well I guess that happens when I am a girl too! Good thing I don't play MMORPGs that often!
That's funny; I'm a guy and my female characters ar always evil too.Onyx Oblivion said:
But it's because since I'm a guy, I always play through as a guy first, and I'm generally always "good" the first time through. And my second time through I'll make a female character because I like to see how different the dialogue becomes (and I'll have a nice pixel-ated ass to stare at for the next 20-30 hours of gameplay) and I'll also be "evil" because I've already played as a "good" guy.
My boyfriend almost exclusivly play female characters, because he thinks male characters are utterly boring to watch, and I agree female models are usually better done and more pleasant to look at. it is almost as if most graphic developers and designers seems to put more thought and consideration into what a female charachter model or template might look like to actually look good.
I suppose this could be because beauty is considered more of a feminin trait, while the traits you would more likely want to adress to a male hero would be strength and more of a dominant aura.
as I think about it, every time he playes a male character he makes them utterly silly instead, I supose it is to compensate the lack of eye candy with funny instead.
As for me I only play female characters, both good and evil, mostly evil. better made models, better voice acting, better dialogue option.

Depends on class. I'm male and Rogues are always female for me for instance. Warrior classes always male. I chop and change with casters... From Wow, Warlocks are female, priests are male. From DIII (OT: which I am super pumped about) Barb = male, Demon Hunter = female, Wizzard = I think female, witch doctor = I think male, monk = male.

Well I haven't yet, but my next Fallout character will be an insane evil crazy chick that chainsaws everything.
Heh heh...
I tend to make RPG characters that are a projection of my own persona.
This does not include leather corsets or 7 inch heels.
If you are someone who applies no such complexities to creating your characters, and just want some polygonal eye candy to stare at while you farm for experience points, do your thing.
If you are like me, but you are projecting your persona onto a female character, maybe you have learned something personal about yourself? I'm not here to judge.

Lol in wow on a role playing realm I have a chick char, just seem to immurse myself deeper into the whole role playing thing while playing a female and on games like fallout I have a evil female char, doesn't mean much just think female chars are better looking than male ones
I tend to play a male as my self insertion stupidity on first playthrough. Since that is where I do the most screwing up, perhaps I am saying something negative about myself... Over and over and over and over again...
*sigh* That's depressing.
*cough* Anyway, I tend to make a female for the second and thus more intelligent seeming playthrough because, A. I want to see a chic's ass since I spent the last eighty hours looking at a dude's and B. my wife sucks at games but loves customizing and dressing up female characters. So I do it for both of us and we enjoy the experience.
Also, she does any face work for male characters I do too. It's something she is good at and I like the results.
Third character is a toss up depending on what is available for play. Oddly enough, I didn't play a woman for Oblivion but my wife made a character who was quite lovely but she didn't get too far into it before getting bored or frustrated or whatever, I forget, it was years ago.
EDIT: Further note, my female characters tend to be more sexually promiscuous than my male characters. I blame my wife's influence. In Dragon Age Origins, Lynn the Elven Mage dallied with Leliana before settling on Alistair but had to give him up for the good of the kingdom. She then found her true love in healing Zevran's broken heart and inability to commit. Yes, that is how my wife wanted things done. She wanted to fuck every fuckable character and then end up with Zevran as he is her favorite.
She said he reminded her of me. I don't know how to take that.

My first character is always a sort of me playing, how I'd make the choices and so on.
Second is normally a female character, a running one across most RPG's who's just evil. I really like her character by now though. Originally I used her because I wanted a manipulative evil person and figured a woman would have it mildly easier.
Now I just use her in most games where I go through a second time because I like the character, it's fun.
