possiblysin Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Is it just me or am I crazy? But every time I look at some pics for a mod ALL of the characters that the modders paly as are all girls? Note: I've got nothing wrong with it I'm just wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarya Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Well, I think it's just because there are really many female gear mods. They require female models, don't they? :) So that's most likely only seems that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrmaad Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I personally think that it's because the oblivion women are easier to make beautiful, and most people want a beautiful game world to play in. your character is either an alter-ego or a companion, so I think a lot of guys want a lovely companion. I personally wanted both a lovely companion and an alterego I could relate to. Since I'm a woman, I also like playing women characters, but I do have a male companion I'm still tweaking. He can be a pain in the butt though, because he's a CSR companion, and damn they get so bent out of shape, they start with the smart remarks, and you check and suddenly at 0 disposition. WTF? And I just gave him several thousand dollars worth of clothing, armor and weapons? That just puts a bug up my ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarya Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 No, I don't think so. Men are as easy to make attractive, with proper textures, of course. And a couple of mistakes ruin a female character's face much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a couple of mistakes ruin a female character's face much easier. I just happened to read a thread in the last hour I used my browser history to find it again, here's the quote: "So you all pretty much play naked women or weird mutants with horns?" I don't know about the weird mutants with horns, but if I'm going to be spending 50 plus hours with a character, they should be easy on the eyes. If, magically, in my real life I was told I was to be given the choice of a companion for a few weeks, and they were either to be a pretty half-naked redhead girl, or some dude, or, even worse, an orc, it wouldn't be that hard of a choice. Anyway, all the men I see added to the game in various mods, and in Vanilla are usually not very attractive. In vanilla, there are a few lovely ladies anyway. Plus I run "younger hotter NPC women" mod, which makes most of the women in the game fairly attractive off the bat. I'm still having trouble with my male character, even though all the men have great bods thanks to Roberts Muscular Male replacer.

gandalftw Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Well,your not crazy.The first time i played as a female was in Daggerfall and it did seem a little odd to me at first.Then came Tombraider in which i had no choice.As time went on i soongot used to playing as a female character.I don't like to use the term,eyecandy but being a male and not wanting to be dishonest i have no choice.Tho i do play as a male as well,currently i have three male characters as saved games and ten different female characters.I just find the ladies far cuter then the males and the game-play isn't changed in any way sooo.From what i understand there are more males that play pc games than females so i'm sure that has an effect as well.In the "old days" the main player character was always male so the ladies had no choice than to play as a male which for some i expect was annoying.Times have changed and no longer are the ladies viewed as the damsel in distress,rather they are now out kicking butt.

dezdimona Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 lets "face" it,female characters are to many more pleasing to look at. Since the majority of Oblivion players are young men,it fits they'd want T&A, not one swingin!. I like both and my male character is definately nice looking in my eyes! http://img34.picoodle.com/data/img34/3/9/13/f_Oblivion200m_9463da5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see him. Ideally I'd like a beard on my man.
