Herculine Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 It is indeed a virtual version of playing dress-up dolls. Calling them "action figures" just makes it sound more acceptable to the boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx777 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I've always played a male character in Elder Scroll and Fallout games until now, I created a female character when I started Skyrim, why not, I don't see any issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlayerzz Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) What I always wanted to know is how can they RP menstruation? or period conveniently don't exist on skyrim or RP at all? Sound disturbing i know but is fascinating looking at it as a psychologist Edited November 23, 2011 by IZ-Master Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndorilTheGreat Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I always start out with a male character in my games (unless the main character is indeed female). It's just easier for me to relate to. However, when I play it for a second time, I create a female character. Why, you ask? Because, as Herculine stated above: a woman's bum is much more pleasant on the eyes (to me) than watching Conan the Barbarian do deep squats. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalaries Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 therefore sexist I lol'd.I didn't mean player character male/female ratios being high is sexist, I meant having less female NPC's. I didn't differentiate tho, so that's my fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddimus Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) I think a lot of people who bring up this question are into RPing or imagining their character being themselves. (or just meathead jerks trying to look cool for some reason) For a lot of people, playing a character isn't anything like that; it's just a means to play the game. In that case, it could be seen as less sissy a guy playing a female character than a guy pretending he's someone else. Not trying to be insulting, that's just how I see it.

jeters5 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I almost always play a female even though I almost always play in first person mode. I almost never see my character, but I imagine that my character is a friend, it's not me. I prefer female friends. I usually play a thief/mage type, but when I play a fighter, I throw in more male characters. There's probably some version of politically incorrect chavinism in those sentences, but I'm 53 years old. Don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlayerzz Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Soca i figure as much , but you know since period effect , affect how the female would act and such , get moody , may not react to the same ncp the same way, hoped they did actually rp it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
