Are there any real benefits to having a female courier?

The Irony of joining the Legion?

Are there any real benefits to having a male Courier?

please elaborate....

I'm not sure if thsi was directed at me, btu basically I was saying it sreally a personal preference. Both have some advantages here and there, but really it doesn';t matter what you pick.

no sorry i was talking to ledgend1221. but i get what ur saying...

We'll he sayign that since Caesars Legion is sixist, they treat women as chattle, joining the Legion as a woman you become one of their higher ups, and basically become Caesars right hand (wo)man. So every man in the Legion basically has to be embarrased and Caesars policies dont add up.

Personal preference. Other than that, there's only a few different lines and no quest or encounter goes different for it.

There is the Black Widow perk gets you easier off many situations, notably dealing with Benny, and IMO an annoying part of DM where you can just tell Domino to stay put without need to tussle with the holograms*. A million times more useful than Lady Killer, as apparently most important people are men.

* Not to forget using Cherzes la Femme to persuade Christine. Much easier to deal with her later on.


And of course, as mentioned, eye candy and total irony when joining Legion.


I personally prefer female characters (now have 3 females 2 males), even if their practical advantage has vaned since Fallout 3. But throughout the series females have always had access to shortcuts, a matter I value.
