Is gamesas's forum some kind of LBGT forum or....

I always choose a male.

But depending on how deep the story is, and how much agency the character has on the plot, I may or may not replay as a female.

Typically I play as a Male character but sometimes play Female as well. Like for Mass Effect I ran through the series as MaleShep (I know alot of people dislike the VO for him but I dunno I thought it was quite good in 2&3) and then again as FemShep. I'll probably end up doing the same for Fallout4.

@Looking a male character's ass: Folks, it's possible to play the game without keeping your eyes glued onto your character's ass.

Never been interested in playing female characters, so i'll play a dude.

lol

^ I might play as a dude sometimes later but for now, the game seems to be demanding a female protagonist from my POV.

How is that question relevant to this thread specifically?

Um, I think that was a troll and you just gave it attention.

I give everyone attention.

EDIT:

Also, weird/non-standard PoVs aren't automatically indicative of trolling. I get called a troll ALL the time.

my first character will be a dude based on me

later on after i complete the game i'll maybe play as a chick. playing as a chick feels weird for me

I've always seen that line as a quickie shorthand/meme for "I'm a straight guy, I like girls, if I'm going to play with a doll it'll be one I find attractive" Not that they literally are looking at the character's butt (as opposed to, say, those guys who are shooting at you! ) when they play.

Granted. I'm not ashamed to admit, however, that I sometimes have my male protagonist strut around shirtless from time to time for my own amusemant. I'm eccentric, I know.

I confess, I've done that a few time that myself. Okay, maybe a lot of times.

Eventually, yes.

I haven't decided if I will get the game but I usually play as a woman, given the option.

I always play females. If there are significant interactions that are different as a male, I might be willing to play as a male once or twice, but most if not all of my 30+ characters will be female. Certainly all of my uncountable number of characters for Fallout 3 and New Vegas were female.

Not really. My first character will be 'myself'. However, as I mentioned in another thread, if the child is gender-locked as male and grows up to become the antagonist, the dynamic between a baby boy grown up into an independent man, and a mother who once conceived that boy and nurtured him, who has since adapted to the wasteland life and seen (killed) some [censored] could be very intriguing to me in terms of a dramatic plot. Something about it is just appealing.

I never play females BUT I love the voice actress behind the female PC. She has done some great quality work in the past with games.

Probably still a male though

I usually play as a male the first run. The next time I pick it up there's a bunch of mods available, and I go almost exclusively female, with maybe one more go as a male.

The voiced protag might change everything though, I always gave everyone their own "voice"

Not as my first character--and I like to approach Bethesda games in a leisurely way--so probably not anytime soon.

I like to play as female and this game will be no different. So many games have male protagonists I like to play as a female when I can if only for the variety.

Also, dat ass.

That tight metal armor does look good.

More like dat spandex vault suit, amirite?

Yes.

When possible I always play as a female character.
