This reminds me of a scene from "the guild" where the protagonists question an effeminate male player (who has the username 'Valkyrie') about their character choices...

"You have two female characters?"
"yes. I like girls. I like looking at them while i play.  Is there something wrong with that?"

Ive always gravitated to female players, and this excuse works wonderfully. =)  maybe less so when i got a female character in Halo though...since all you see is bulky space armor

Have you seen the new episode where Zaboo's Master Sergeants take off their gloves to do some texting and they both have perfectly manicured nails?

I've always played female characters, even in pen&paper RPGS.

I have used that exact same excuse to justify picking female characters ever since I saw that episode of The Guild. It works so well haha

Well since I have discovered this warlock time vampire of a company called Bioware, I have definately enjoyed the benefits of FFS, years of Hormones and the best genetics money could buy...

And that was before the games even started.

For those that this just soared clearly over their cranium like the Normandy over Illos, I do apologize.

Mass Effect 1 and Dragon Age to some extent but Mass Effect 2 for sure are my colossal audio/visual interactive vices. I am actually on my 6th playthrough of ME2 (damn your oily hides Bioware for pushing back ME3 till next spring) right now and for the first time I am trying out a male Sheperd. Is it an obvious subconscious choice that I have chose to play him renegade and NOT fix the facial scars?.....

Hmmm....

Such wizards they are

Most of the times I play female, except when I have some really interesting idea for a character - which usually doesn't work.

All the time... 

As long as the option was available, I have been playing with female characters.   My only real shock was when I first played Everquest and a guy proposed to me... got scared and deleted my character and started a new one.

I play my characters about half and half. I don't typically identify the character as my representative in the game but rather a fictional character of my creation that I control. Therefore I like to mix it up and make characters that are good/evil, man/woman, human/other, etc. It helps to keep things fresh rather than always playing a female hero type.

Almost always played as male characters in MMOs and such. I like to inject myself in the characters. Played a female troll in WoW for a while. Was in a guild in Ragnarok Online, and people thought I was a 13 year old boy even on vent.  Guess I don't talk very ladylike. I think I detached my mind from my body by being a basement dweller for most of my high school/college years so I didn't think about gender identity until recently. As long as I could imagine being a boy, I was happy.

In most games I used to make both a male and a female character.
The female one was for me to play the game with, the male one was for when friends got over and wanted to play. I was afraid that them seeing my female game characters would give away this "horrible secret" I kept. Silly, I know.

I usually make male characters.  If my character is female then she has masculine traits like facial hair.  In Saints Row 2 I made a male character with a female voice.

Well, I got some games for Christmas...  Let's see...

In King of Fighters XIII, I've been playing as King, Mature, & Ash.  So, that's two women who wear more masculine clothes and a man who is often mistaken for a woman.

In Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, I've gravitated toward Chun Li (who I always played in Street Fighter), Amaterasu, & Phoenix Wright.  So, a Chinese girl, the Shinto Sun Goddess (who is a wolf), and a male lawyer.

I don't know how this reflects on my video gaming gender choices, but I do know that there's something seriously wrong with the Google search results for Ash Crimson yaoi.  The thing being wrong that there is none.



amiright?

I think Grand Theft Auto should have a female or fire hazard gay male in the next game. Since those games are fairly realistic, she should be played by Queen Latifah or Michelle Rodriquez...you know...one of the taco truck ->-bleeped-<-s in Hollywood.

The only games worth playing are ones where you can run over people and gun up an entire city block. I only play GTA because I can't do that crap in real life without consequences.

That and games that involve gay men.

Seems about 3/4 of my characters are male. My main character on World of Warcraft for several years was a female gnome warlock because I thought the female gnomes were so adorable and the males were hideous.

I was thrilled when the blood elves came out because there were finally male characters that didn't look like they were on steroids. I saw them in beta and they looked great but apparently they got complaints from guys who thought they were too gay and they beefed them up some before release but at least not to the point of the roided out look. Now my main character is a blood elf warlock. I started over so I could play a belf.

Most of the time.
