I almost thought the exact same thing. He's like Sten from DA:O, who murdered an entire family then said he was sorry and that he felt bad about it, then all was forgiven.

That's good. Alga was about to beat you senseless with her warhammer.

ALGA: That this poster is a man says a lot.

I know right? One minute Sten calls me a big baby or something then the next he's commenting on art and telling me he feels bad for this or that or something and making me feel like an ass.

I can't hold grudges either. :foodndrink: My fiancee is kind of the opposite. You have to work for an apology and even then it's not 100% she will forgive you but one lovable comment or an apology and i'm all "aw, it's okay. Let's get a drink!"

who is alga and why she want me to beat her with my warhammer :hubbahubba:

It never ceases to amaze me how bothered people are by how another person chooses to play their own game. I've got a bunch of male friends that play females in MMOs. It ultimately comes down to one thing whenever you ask them about it: if they are going to invest a lot of time into this character, they'd rather it be someone that they don't mind looking at for long periods of time. That's why they make a female character, for eye candy. Its as simple as that.

Personally, I'm a guy who prefers to roleplay males. But if my buddy who works in the IT department at my job prefers to roll females, why should I care? Some people just need to get a life, IMO.

nevermind

But all I'm doing is seeing it on a screen. Millions of people every day get over that when they watch heterosixual porm.

In my case I'm seeing two people be married.

Whoa.... I made a joke, then you used logic.... :ahhh:

I would RP the character that I choose as their story unfolds, without choosing an outcome ahead of time--but it would likely be a heterosixual relationship.

Very much the same expectations.

if i was a girl, i would only go for other girls in game.

Exactly, this isn't mass effect! :nono:

Two "promiscious" Dunmer girls in "contact" would be...interesting :whistling:

But on topic I think I will make my Dunmer female lisbian (no idea why)

Ok, fair enough.

its all in the voice. Or maybe Ive got a thing for reptilian races, in which case the Argonian maids of Skyrim had best watch out



thanks, thats good to know for the future

Forgive me if this post comes off as rude, but really, that's your logic? You're honestly going to sit there and tell me that the character's choices that YOU control has nothing to do with you? :facepalm:

Last time I checked, TES series required the player CONTROLLING the character within it to make the choices for it, therefore, it has everything to do with you.

Duh. Read it again, and read the last line in context of the rest. It makes perfect sense what he is saying.

I too have said unatural attraction to Miranda, after all her voice and model is Yvonne Strahovski (My Avatar) One day Yvonne... One day *slaps self* NO snap out of it! the closest I'll ever get to Yvonne is Miranda

Play style and immersion are definitely a factor. In first person play I do try to get into my characters head, and to the extent that I can I try to become the character I'm playing. In third person games I'm controlling a 'toon' that I'm completely disassociated with ... more like a director directing the scene then the actor playing the part.

So, followup questions. If you would have your character marry an NPC of the gender you are not attracted to in real life, do you tend to play in first or third person? Are you trying to role play, or just play a video game?

I have played the opposite six when acting, on stage, and in general, it was a hoot! Sometimes there were love interests, yes. It is called, among other things, "being in character".

The very idea of getting into the head of another being, implies that you need not be all that similar to him/her/it. So it goes with CRPGs, I assume.

There's one female I have planned, either an Imperial, Breton, or Nord.

She is a Black Widow. She has been abused by men her entire life, starting with her father. She was [censored] when she was 17/18. Her first husband abused her, while they were living in High Rock. But, he pushed her too far, as she stuck a dagger in his chest while he slept. Scared, she fled, eastward, to Skyrim.

Once she has recovered from her initial shock of her first murder, she was in Winterhold, when she was approached by and flirted with by a Captain in the Imperial Legion. She soon took to his flirtations, and they were married in two months. Didn't last long though, as 2 weeks later, she caught him cheating on her with another woman. She tried to kill him, but he escaped. She now promises herself in her subconscious that every child abusing, woman [censored], cheating, man would die; UNTIL SHE CAUGHT ALONE THE MAN WHO CAUSED HER BREAK.

My character will not need any relationships. She'll be single.

OMG yes girl on girl action. I HAVE to try this now that I think about it! :celebration:

Unless it's done seriously well, which I doubt, none of my characters will be having relationships. If they do then my female characters will most likely marry whichever characters I myself like. I had my female characters in DA:O romance Zevran. Not because I myself found him attractive (I'm straight). Nor was it for any sixual gratification, despite what opponents to romance in games would have you believe. It was because Zevran was hilarious.
