will you play male or female? : V - Skyrim

» Wed Aug 17, 2011 10:39 am

I play mostly male characters.
I don't play women just to play women, and I find it easier to
come up with a backstory/personality for a man.

I always use females first. But i have planed for 15 characters 8 males 7 females so i would have gone with both. In Oblivion i used all races both male and female for each race and now i know what im dealing with

How many of you are playing female just to strip them down to their undies?

Lol, i'm guilty but it's for purely educational purposes. :teehee: "To see how much detail really went into them"

Not "just", but it is a bonus :hehe:

Both

Male first. Female later.

How many of you are playing female just to strip them down to their undies?

And how many of you are intentionally not playing as a female because you're afraid others will judge you and think you're only playing as one to strip them down to their undies?

I'll probably make a male the first time and a female for most characters afterwards despite being a guy myself.

I will be female this time, new animations and maybe unique conversation options and diffrent reactions fron NPC's sound intresting

yeah.... :thumbsup: unique conversation options, to marry a male maybe?

Female, like always.

I have a hard time relating to female characters, so I tend to role with a male 99.99% of the time.

Don't let me stop you guys from having fun though, I like the Elder Scrolls because you can play who you want to be. I'm not going to judge someone if they want to be another gender. :thumbsup:

I generally make a few characters. Fighting oriented characters are guys, and then I make a female for stealth or pure-mage

Since the characters look far less [censored]ey and the races are more diverse, I imagine I'll be making a lot more characters than in previous games.

Both. Male first female second, I always do this. :disguise:

I always choose female for my first character. After completing the game, then I will consider making a male character, if I have any cool ideas for one.

Male, I rarely play as female.

» Tue Aug 16, 2011 9:24 pm

I'm playing a male Nord on my first playthrough, and other males on subsequent plays.

But, I do plan on making at least two humans, one heroine, and a Black Widow.

» Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:51 am

Since I am female, most of my characters will be female, but one or two will be male.

» Wed Aug 17, 2011 1:41 am

Both. But female woodelf/nord huntress first. Probably a male spellcaster after that if the system don't put me off again.

» Tue Aug 16, 2011 7:40 pm

My characters will represent both genders.

First will be a Breton Female, shaman-in-training.

First male will be Bro. Francois the Friar (like Friar Tuck) He likes kitchens, mead and serving maids.

» Tue Aug 16, 2011 7:29 pm

As a male, I always play as a male.

» Tue Aug 16, 2011 11:57 pm

My first character will probably be male. Beyond that, presuming the game is worth (re)playing, I have no idea. In past games, last time I counted it up for a thread like this one, my characters were split about 60/40 male to female. I just make whatever character seems interesting at the time, and male or female just depends on how I envision the character.

Note - because this is signficant and seems to always be the point at which this topic breaks - my characters are not me. They are entirely separate beings with their own personalities. Therefore my gender has absolutely no bearing on theirs.

I will play male as I am a male too. I don't really like to play as the opposite gender. But maybe I will try to play as a female after all.

Not sure, though.

Both, female bosmer for stealthy character, male nord for warrior character, and undecided gender on the argonian mage.

» Wed Aug 17, 2011 5:37 am

I'm male so I play as a male character.

I look at my characters as alter ego, so I wont ever play as a female. (at least no complete playthrough)

» Wed Aug 17, 2011 5:55 am

In previous games most of my characters have been males, with maybe one or two females. But this time around I believe I'll end up creating far more characters than usual. I'm guessing I'll end up with a 60 to 40 ratio of male to female characters.
