Hmmm ... interesting poll. I didn't vote because I felt the choices didn't apply to me totally so I figured I'd just say it here.

I'm female WAYYYYYYYYYY over twenty. So far over I can't see 20 anymore when I look behind me Honestly, I like both types of mods. I don't like a game that's too easy but I don't want it to be so hard I loose my enjoyment. If something doesn't make sense combat wise to me, I look for or wait for a fix that falls in line with how I think it should be. I am thankful every day for modders in my favorite games because I'm too much of an air head to do stuff like that myself.

I uninstalled Fallout a good while ago as I simply had enough of it for a while. But I enjoyed the game a lot. I like slaughter and blood and gore when it makes sense to have it. I don't like being swarmed by hordes of enemies just wandering around looking at stuff unless it's area appropriate of course. I like combat that makes sense. I tend to play sneaky sniper types in Fallout because that's the way that it's fun for me. I love cool, sniperish types of weapons. I don't much care for realism mods. Depending on what they are of course. Things like forced food, sleeping, etc get on my nerves real fast but things like being crippled from a bullet do make sense and I would make use of those types of mods. I use my own RP that makes sense for me and my character as far as food, sleep, etc goes and avoid mods that tell me when to do these things.

I also like building mods and lots of dialogue that enhances the story. I don't like to find say, a castle in the middle of a wasteland. For my tastes it should be approriate to the surroundings. Fallout wise, I looked for house mods that blended well with the landscape. Both inside and out. I don't like walking into a pristine environment with freshly painted walls and such when everything else around me is falling down and people are fighting for their lives and I just lost two pints of blood fighting off a huge ant. Clean is much different than fancy in these situations. At least to me. I also very much like texture mods for faces/hair/body. I like a character that looks good doing what she does. But I don't go for the "strike a pose in thong" type of stuff as that isn't real to me.

Hope this helps you some. And after that I think you could call me a man-chick? A little bit of both

With exception to the winding-down routine this is very much like me.

I don't compete. Period.

For some reason I don't enjoy pushing myself to the limit. Of course, that may be because I'm a lazy bastard, but I'd like to think that being a lazy bastard is a product, just like not being competitive is. The cause is however unknown.
Whatever it is it also shows when playing games, I of course like some kind of challenge, it shouldn't be too easy. But I prefer "mildly challenging and sometimes easy" before "excruciatingly difficult and sometimes darn right impossible".

I did vote "war" and I'm a guy currently halfway to 50. But that's not because I like to get killed, it's because I don't really enjoy homes and companions. I love a good story though, I'm all for story, give me a game with a perfect story and no fighting whatsoever and I'm totally sold. But in Fallout, war is the way And usually I play a stealthy character, choosing my fights and using every single dirty trick I can find to get the upper hand, I'm not even one to avoid using exploits and bugs in games...
I don't fight honorably for glory - I fight cheap for victory!

As for there being a difference between guys and gals, I'll go for a slightly more scientific approach and say it's hormones. Testosterone for example, higher testosterone levels = more competitive. Now I don't have a single thing backing this up so I'm expecting to get shot down, but now it's out there
And for those of you that tries to shoot me down based on "how can there be competitive women if it's due to testoreone" I'll give an answer right away: Women have testosterone as well, some more than some men. I for one am pretty sure I have very little testosterone in my body. It's just enough to make me interested in women and not men, but I don't think there's much more than that


But... mostly I'm probably just lazy
