hejpadig Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I'm at the moment positive that I'll create a male. But when the creation menu comes up I might change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowscaleB1980 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I always play male characters. I usually like to play as a Bosmer, though considering Skyrim's politics and physical climate playing a Nord is bound to have advantages, I have played as an Imperial though I miss the magical resistances of other races. I play male characters because It helps with game immersion when the character bears a resemblance to you in the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenBlossom Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I'm female so I usually always pick a fem character. But as for guys it's like they say...'If they are going to play a game for 300hrs they might as well enjoy the view' ;)Now that is an excellent argument. I could say I play female characters for role-playing purposes - that I have this great background story in mind which requires that my character is a woman - and while it would be true to some extent, in the end it all comes down to making the game more pleasant to look at. ^^ To be honest, this is a question I've pondered for quite some time. For several years I've made my characters female whenever the choice was there - somehow, the prospect of a girl performing acts of heroism... I suppose you could say it intrigues me. However, lately I've been playing more and more male characters. I'm not really sure why, but I did notice that I'm able to make them actually look good. Not "good" as in "handsome" really, but more of a rugged survivor badass kind of look, one my female characters could never hope to attain without losing their visual appeal. Well, that, and they can't grow beards. :rolleyes: As matters stand I have two solid background stories, one for a male character and one for a female character. Chances are I'll play both eventually, but the one I play first will be determined by which is easier to realize during the character creation. I'm kinda hoping it will be male, though - it would be the first time in, what, eight years? Well, the first time in a long time that I chose male over female in a new game.
