(WRONG TITLE NAME) - Topic Title - WHICH CHARACTER (MALE OR FEMALE) DO YOU PREFER TO PLAY AS?

For some reason, I can't stand this game while playing as a male. I don't understand why? Why is it that I only like playing as a female? I can't seem to figure it out... And which do u like playing as?

Most of my characters are male, for every Fallout.

Its easier to role play as myself.

I do make female characters to see what the game is like from that point of view.

I only make female characters when I have a specific story for them I would like to play out, most of my characters are male.

Half of my male characters are just screwing around though...

I've only ever had two female character play-through attempts. One in Fallout 3 and the other in New Vegas.

I never got that far with either of them though, something like 30 minutes of playing before I stopped. Its just sorta hard to play a character and do a roleplay when its the opposite gender of yourself.

THATS IT! I'm not really a RPG gamer. Thus I don't roleplay... I remember on Fallout: The Brotherhood of steel, (which isn't a RPG) I'd only use Nadia (i believe thats her name)

Female of course, FO1/2: Spandex vault suit.
FO3: Old habits die hard.
FONV: Female legionnaire!

Can I say both?

Mostly male so I can RP as myself. As Styles said, I will eventually play a female character to see the POV.

I do both. I'll usually make a male character first, and then I do a female character so I can experience the full range of dialogue options (Black Widow, etc) as some NPCs have gender-specific dialogue and quest options.

I always start Male. I have a character I use for everything, Guy Staunton, so I usually run that first.

Then usually I'll start a female save, but I've never finished either Oblivion, Fallout 3, or New Vegas as a female character. I have no idea why. But probably because when I start them it's usually right after I finish the male game so I've just ran through a 120+ Hour playthrough and could use a rest haha.

Male first time round so I can play the game as myself.
Female will come around maybe 2nd or 3rd playthrough and sometimes never gets redone.
....Apart from in New Vegas now were I'm on my 2nd Female character

It's strange, in Fo1, most of my characters were male, with one female to see if gameplay was different. In Fallout 2, it was the opposite, mostly female, with one male character.

Fallout 3: I don't remember, last time I played seriously was over a year ago. I know there were at least two male and female characters.

New Vegas:
2 Male characters: 1 NCR, 1 House
4 Female Characters: 2 NCR, 1 House, 1 Independent
These are characters that made it through at least half of the MQ.

No Legion?
Do Legion.
Legion's fun.

I go the same route myself

Female in tactics, female in 3, and female in new vegas, i think 3 more than any other is for a female character, new vegas is more for a male character, and the others are more for male characters, but a female character worked really well in 3, i think theres some aspects in new vegas that suit a female character, but mainly a male character.

Female. I like playing as a hot babe.

I have tried to play as a male before...I just don't know what it is, I find it less enjoyable and have never finished a single playthough as a male character, regardless of what faction I'm siding with. I can even play in first person so I don't see the square man butt, and I'm still not satisfied! :shrug:

Most of mine are female cause I think you get what you want easier
