Makes me wish that I had qualified this better.CriticallyAcclaimed said:well, i dont play MMOs a lot so i cant add a whole lot to the thread, but i was a chick in Mass Effect for...er...a personal reason
The reason that CriticallyAcclaimed alluded to is a strong example ("good" didn't seem like the best fit for that statement), though it is not necessarily an example that I meant to reference.Nuke_em_05 said:Sometimes games play slightly different for different genders.
That's why I made female characters. Well the hunter was based on an anime character, but I still wanted to spend hours with a hot looking blood elf on my screen instead of a dude.Shaenightbird said:I notice that there are a lot of guys playing female characters in every game I've played. Maybe it's the "Hot Elf Chick" thing, I don't know. I usually play female characters, because I RP, and it's easier to RP from my own perspective, but I have male characters too. Funny thing is, I've found that a lot of people seem to just assume that even though the character is female, it's a guy running it, because so many guys have female characters. They're surprised to discover I'm really a female, disguised as....a female.
I play as both male and female characters online and offline.Yellow Lad Unleashed said:I've noticed that if there are guys playing as girl characters, it is usually for one of three reasons.
1) They want to mooch off of the guy populace that want to supply the "girl" with stuff to make "her" life easier and to steal the one "girl" off the internet from the other female-starved men of the gaming nation.
2) They don't want to stare at a man's derriere for the entire duration of their play-time.
3) Sometimes playing a girl character is more fun (i.e games where the class the player wants is strictly female).

.....so you just beat off all day watchin your female chara? just watch porn or something loldungeonmaster said:I play alot of characters on world of warcraft at one time, I go about 50/50 on the gender thing.
I figured one day that a holy priest would make more sense as a female, I named it after one of my favorite female characters I created while being a dungeon master and kinda got hooked.
Though I like my male characters I like LOOKING at my female ones more....
I guess any guy looking for a girlfriend in a MMORPG is gonna have to realize that girls dont want to meet men in a video game and half the ones you meet are probably gonna be guys anyways.
... How do you have fun with playing as a girl? I don't get it girls jump rope and paint there nails thats fun to you? and and pretty much for number two you just sit there and masturbate while leveling up your girl chara?.... I just don't get these reasons..there is only one reason i understand and its when that guy said he'd rather be a girl then a guy. That is the only reason for playing as a girl character in a game that represents yourself.irefusetoincludenumbersinthisname said:I gender-bend my characters for reasons 2 and/or 3.Yellow Lad Unleashed said:I've noticed that if there are guys playing as girl characters, it is usually for one of three reasons.
