I play both male and female characters. On one of my machines I play a guy on the other I play a woman. I myself am a male who identifies as bisexual. That, however, has nothing to do with why I chose to play this way. I just want to see if the game is different from the male or female character perspective. It is not about seeing the character as I am usually in first person mode. When I play all my characters I like to make them underdogs in some way. either really small and scrawny or ugly as sin. I am not concerned about creating some intentional plan for my characters though. I have a tendency to go with the flow. Right now one of my characters, the female, runs around in a pack of deadly vixens with Lydia, Jenassa and Uthgerd all in tow. My male character on the other PC is a loner who rides a mammoth.. One thing for certain is that none of it is premeditated though. I have logged about 500 hours of game time and have been through a slew of male and female characters as I have been working out the kinks in my mod collections. BTW, my female Character is a Space wolf from the 40K mod who traveled to Tamriel because of her obsession with becoming a Werewolf.
