first character will be male nord for the same reasons as many other people, meaning making it similar to myself both in looks and in personality.(well of course the nord will have more muscles than i do but who cares, this is RPG )

second char will be female however, mostly because of the inevitable fact that 90% of armor and clothing mods will be for females. just check out oblivions mods and tell me im wrong

Male, as always.



As well as Ahnassi's quests, which you can only get if you're male.

Mail. :homestar:

Only if you are a male chauvinist pig! :thumbsup:

Clarification: the emote is there for biting wit and sarcasm.

TES is an equal-opportunity universe, not burdened by human cultures' debasemant of females.

Always male and Dunmer

Indeed. I used to think that way but then i tried it and i have to say, it can really add something to the roleplaying experience. I can only recommend people to actually try it if they haven't done already, it can be very fun to see the world through the eyes of the opposite six.



Damn male chauvinist... oh wait...

Male cause I'm male but if you look at the number of female clothing/body mods that were created for OB you'd swear 'everyone' was playing female.

Male...

I'm Definitely going to go with Male. I don't like playing with female characters much because of how their body shapes are. Its not really daunting or intimidating when rushing into battle with a set of hips and a weaker looking frame then the male characters. Also it's for Immersion. How can i enjoy being the hero if the hero is absolutely nothing like me. My character should be like an avatar. Thats why i usually pick strong fighter type characters but dont get me wrong My archery is GREAT and i have made some crazy strong mages. I think i will try to mix it up this time. Use a race i have never used before.... i refuse to play as an imperial i know that much. Their like the racist of the empire who take everyones land and then treat them second rate. I probably wont play a breton eiither. maybe a wood elf. if i can mess with the skin enough i can get him to look black. I made a high elf look like a red guard last time lol. My freind thot i had a redguard. but i'll try an archer, assassin, or theif this time around.

Mh, it depends on the story... and what feels in the whole context of the story appropriate.
In Morrowind I play mostly female Characters and in Oblivion as a male.
I'm a good roleplayer ... and i find it very interresting to play the role of a member of the opposite six... it's like exploring my male side. (I'm female) It's fun.



Well, let me say... your opinion a bit sixist... but I have somehow to agree ... when I'm simply looking from a male point of view, outside of the fantasy setting,(inside too?) that it is. I hope you understand what im trying to say: The weak female image of men is the root of the problem. It's somehow like a self fullfilling prophecy. Well...
As a female you need to be very tough and constantly prove yourself - that you're better than most males... most females are simply not.. and when your tough girl, some males will not like you.

And handsome males should be able to use their looks to.

Could have sworn this topic had been made already but again I will be Female since I am female

That's pretty racist, stereotyping all imperials like that :nono:
Well, it would be if they were a real group of people I guess.

Anyway, I'll be playing a male character, either an Imperial, a Nord, or an Orc. Probably an Imperial though.

I guess this poll is about how many men and women will play the game, because i dont believe that actually someone is going to choose a different gender from his own

Female. I dont particularly care staring at a dude all the time while i play

edit: *looks up at 1 post above me* umm... im a dude and play a female

It's either going to be a male Nord, or a male Breton.

Funny, replace "man" with "woman" and the other way around, and that would be what i say

You obviously haven't read a single post in here. :facepalm:

Then you are wrong. Many people like to play as the opposite six.

Where is the option: "I dont know"?

For me it all depends on the last minute decision, depending on the differences between races and their sixes, and my instinct in that moment, and maybe a flip of ethereal coin in my mind.

male nord or imperial........im a guy, why would i want to play as a girl? my second or third playthrough will be a big stupid orc with a two-handed warhammer cause for some reason they are actually pretty fun to play.


@vespanan..........except that the imperials banned slavery while the dunmer allowed it. the elven races were the big slaveholders on tamriel not the humans.

Don't play as a girl, play with a girl

Male. I've always started as a Male Dunmer, named after myself, and it is always based upon myself.

Leaning towards a Nordic Shieldmaiden right now. So; female. :hubbahubba:

I will be a Dunmer male for my first character. After that idk what I will play, maybe a Nord!

I'm a guy,but I almost always play as a female. I like women to be the heroes.
