Playing as the other gender

Post » Mon Sep 26, 2011 5:25 pm

Oh, so his deal is about starring at chick in skimpy outfits. He's not gay then, he's a pervert. I play a male but my attention is not about starring at myself.

LOL pervert, wasnt you just campaining in the "briast slider thread"?
Anyways I'm just saying it's not that big of a deal to play the other gender

i play both. because i play different roles. i cant see a female Nord kicking ass with a 2 handed weapon any more than i can see my male Nord stealthily lurking through the shadows to send that arrow through an argonians eye...

nothing to do with six or pervyness for me :)

nor insecurity... that excuse is just bull

Male-only for me. I've never really got my head around why guys want to play as girls. I do on some games, but not Oblivion, and I won't in Skyrim either.

That sounded a little contradictory. lol :tongue:


I play a male character sometimes. Like, out of about 6 or 7 characters I have in Oblivion only one is male, but he is second to my main female character in regards to who I play most often. I'm not really sure why I sometimes play a male. Maybe it's because I simply like the different experience of it, or maybe I just like looking at the eye candy. He does run around with his shirt off quite a bit. :whistling: Or maybe it's a combination of the two. :shrug:

I know that I do tend to put myself (thoughts, actions) more into my female characters than the males. And if there is any sort of option for romance, I never pursue that with my male characters because it feels weird since I'm only into men, but I'm not one of those girls who puts my male characters into relationships with other men either. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course, but you get what I'm saying. I guess it boils down to this: my female characters are an extension of myself, and my male characters are a representation of what I'm attracted to. That's my best, honest answer. lol :tongue:

My first character I play male(I am a dude), but after that I play either. I get what you guys are saying about your character representing you, but I think its more who you want to be; I mean, isn't that the point of fantasy RPG's? Now before you get any disturbing ideas about what I just said, consider this: people are often more critical of others than themselves. Not trying to sound sixist or creeper or anything here, but most guys would be able to define a perfect woman but not so much a guy, meaning its easier for some to create a female character who is perfect than a male, as that would include them finding their own flaws to fix.
Basically, we (at least, I) try to make the perfect character to represent us, not just in male V female but the traits that make up that character. No matter which you choose the character you are creating is Dovakiin, the rest is just perspective.

Yes I play both but unfortunately not in many games the six makes a difference. I'd like a lot more specific content for each six.

Some people like to make up entirely individual characters of either gender and some people just like ogling the female characters pixels. I usually aim to make my character similar to myself so I only play as males, usually.

i usually play as a male but since you can get married in skyrim i will play as a girl. Because I do not want to play as a gay guy (though there is nothing wrong with that besides incompatible parts :unsure: )

I'm a female who only plays females. Its always been that way for me. If there's an option to be a woman in a game, I go with it.

But can't your male character just marry a girl? Or did I misread that?

I've nothing against those who play the other gender. The quote from the other poster(his friend) does sound perverted in the way he presented it.

Same thing I always say in these threads, I am a man, and if there is a choice, my characters are always women. Why? because it's a role playing game. That's why I play women, Elves or someone who isn't white, and spellcasters. As different from me as possible. Any real life gender confusion? No straight as a die, with three kids

Besides, my avatar is irrelevant and has no bearing on what gender I play.

Alternatively, quite a few people enjoy playing a game that offers a range of different character builds, and want to vary their playthroughs?
Nope, must be a psychological problem.

Yes I admit I like to play my female character in WOW because men are so stupid as to favor women even when they are made of pixels. I get crafting discounts, instance invites, no dirty talk and all sorts of things just because my woman pala is good looking lol.

Not really, that is very different. Here we just have people pretending to be someone else.

I never understood it outside of MMO's really, least there if you play a female people will be nicer to you in most cases.

But i can't stand to play a female if i have the option as playing as a male, just does not feel right.

LOL I like that, content for each six!

YOU CHOSE MALE:
When lost, dont ask for directions perk (Map and compass disabled!)
Got drunk and woke up with a fat nastey perk (Minor speed increse)
Females talk back too much perk (Hand to Hand criticals X3 damage)
Stop Criminal Scum perk! (must stay indoors at night if playing a red guard male or risk being arrested for doing nothing wrong randomly)

YOU CHOSE FEMALE:
Kitchen is your friend perk (+40 to cooking)
Know your role perk (Inventory is very tidy and easy to navigate)
Gona get mine perk (Allows in game marriage and unlocks in game divorce)
Crazy B*&$H! (Steering horse controls inverted)
:gun: :wub:
