stumpndum Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 A lot of reasons for me. First off i know this is sexist but screw it whenever i get a chance i play a big bloody meatheat bad guy, wether its in Mass effect assault trooper being a dick or a 10ton armor wearing psyco in warhammer online, then i create a good, opposite of whatever i did for male female character. After those two playthroughs i do whatever the hell i want, in skyrim tho heres my characters and why. Warrior, sword adn board, smithing nord male, he was a dick... I think its because a 8 foot muscle bound psycopathic male makes me feel like i can intimidate more people in game hence being more evil. Mage, duel destruction, enchanting, alchemist, Breton she was good. I think its a side effect to RL for me, most the guys i met were dicks but the women i knew were nicer. Barbarian, duel axe weilding, archer, stealthy female wood elf. Wanted to try out duel weilding and since i'm a 20 something male dressing her up in forsworn armor seemed a lot better then watching the hairy back of some guy in said armor. Hunter, -archer, two hander, steathy male orc. I always make an orc if possible, orcs are awesome, but this confirmed by initial suspicians that female in forsworn armor < Hairy male in forsworn armor.

Oblivionmod8 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) When I unboxed the game, I played a female stealth archer. Then I went and made a standard male warrior. I do have a tendency to play girls in games, especially in the past few years. It's not some kind of closet transsexualism or the need to stare at a girl's butt (not a butt person anyway). I've never actually been able to answer this question myself, even having thought about it a lot. I suppose part of it could be that I just find girls more attractive, and when I'm playing games, I'm not projecting myself into the game; I'm projecting a character of my own creation. I'm an avid writer, if that makes any difference. Edited November 24, 2011 by Oblivionmod8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most honest, thought-provoking post in this thread. Listen to your heart, folks; don't we all wish to live in a world with girl parts all the time?

Reddimus Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 If Sigmund Freud were here he'd surely remind us that guns and swords are phallic symbols so when males see females holding these objects their mind sees females holding phalli. Xena, anyone? But Xena's weapon was a big hole... What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

likeitsillegal Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 You forgot the part where horses are also phallic symbols. Now, put that into the Skyrim world. Your woman - or man, spends miles riding one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomeoJGuy Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Some of us like having another man ride our phallic symbol.... nothing wrong with that.... I play males cause I like seeing a big muscular man butt flexing as I run through the game world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadSpace Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) Being a girl I can only guess here, but I think most guys (playing in third-person mode) prefer to look at a female's backside through hundreds of hours of gameplay rather than some beefy Nord guy's rump. exactly, at least for me. hours staring at some male i find unattractive (though i find all males unattractive RL or gaming) or hours staring at some female that's at least semi-attractive (depending on gear/mods). my desktop wallpaper isn't some dude why should my in game avatar in anything be one?

CloudVvulf Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I would play a male but I can't seem to make one I like the look of, I'm trying to make a "dashing rogue" but I can't seem to get one like. I'm waiting for some good race mods to come out before I start making my male toons, currently I'm playing a female nord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
