do play as a male or female protagonist on your first play through in RPG's?
>>
Grills on all playthroughs

>>322324174
always girl
>>
I look up if there's romance and good waifus. If there are, I play a man.
>>
I started doing females just to be different from my brother, but I do tend to like the models/animations more now
>>
I always play male. If a game defaulted to the woman I'd probably do that though. Then I use the default appearance. If there's a canon name I use that. If not, I use the default name. If there isn't a default name either than I'll make up something fitting for the setting after an extensive search of the game's wiki to make sure no other characters have that name.

>>322324174
I always play as myself in RPGs. You can call me a self-inserter but I like myself.
>>
>>322324174
girl and find nude mods.
>>
>>322324574
That's kind of missing the point of role playing though.
>>
Male/female honestly depends on what mood I'm in. Ended up with a kind-eyed black guy in Mass Effect and a qt French girl in Dragon's Dogma.

I always leave my joke characters for the second run though.

>>322324560
I'll never understand why you'd want nothing but the canon or default choices. Why do you do this?

I do research before I name my characters too though.
>>
>>322324757
Not really, man. I'm playing my role as Anon in world so-and-so. I still get in the role of Glorious Chosen One or whatever but still as myself, not as a little girl or some shit. Like some kind of alternate universe me.

I never used to, but now I almost exclusively play female characters in any game.
>>
Here's my list of priorities:

0) Whatever the character I want to roleplay is
1) The one with better VA
2) The one that looks better
3) The canon one
4) The one that my co-op partner isn't using
5) The one that gives me the romance option I want
6) The one that's better for min-maxing
7) Female

Male, because girls can't do shit when it comes to battles, action and crap like saving the world. It would be stupid to play as a woman and ruin all immersion.
>>
kind of hard choice..

Male Character = serious "boring" play through
Female Character = jizz fest play through
>>
Whichever one is less realistic

are there any games with thickness sliders?

Depends how I'm feeling and which model I like better. Usually female but not always, like 70% of the time.

This is the best post I've ever seen. Though in some games you should play as the same as your co-op partner to be bro/sis partners.

>>322326030
Fallout 4 and Siants Row

First one, then the other to see if the game changes. Whether it's a grill first depends on how decent looking the women are in the character creator.
>>
I always play grills in RPGs
if I can I also have an all grill party

yes I'm a huge faggot
>>
>>322326102
Kind of a moot point in most isometeric/top down RPGs or kekthesda shit.

I usually do a male moralfag run first and a female evil/bitch run if the game is good enough to replay most aren't

>>
>>322324174
Female of course, even hearing your character diying or getting hit in a lewd moan is a bonus
>>
The only time I regretted choosing female was when I played swtor, because I was forced to romance a guy who was an avatar for ant hivemind. When I triggered something there was no turning back due to shitty bioware writing and retarded dialog wheel, even though I told him to fuck off on multiple occasions.
>>
All depends on which option has the best variety of playing dress up.

Playing as Serana in Pogeymans X and Y was some of the most fun ive had simply due to the anticipation of unlocking new clothes and customizing to look my cutest. But that isn't always the case, sometimes the male option is better for playing dress up.

>tfw no decent games where you can play as a male and dress up in cute girls clothes and play as a cute crossdressing trap

Animal Crossing doesnt count.
>>
Male. I like to make the choices I would realistically make in games that have them. Then I do a whatever playthrough.
>>
>>322324174
I only play as a girl if the boys looks shit, and if both look shit I'll play the least shit.
>>
>>322326256

in an rpg i always have to have 1 girl on the team...would feel weird otherwise

unless all the female chars are that shit its a hindrance and i will swap em out for whoever

Hope you're also not ashamed of being a completely retarded faggot, guy.

I might play a boy if the game has romance/dating a cute girls to pick from. Most of the time I like to play a girl because they have more customization and because I'm not a girl in real life. Adding to that beast/monster races would be super cool but I can understand that making new armor models would be super expensive/tedious when you could just make human armor and re-use that shit till the end of time.
The most recent game I played a dude was Oreshika and that's only because you can make characters based off of your actual face and I'm pretty handsome, most photogenic clan in ancient japan.

>>322326030
Phantasy Star Online and Blade and Soul
>>
I'm male and I hate myself, so I usually play women

But if there's voice acting I pick whichever sounds better

>>322324174
Lightning is female

Always female and if I have some kind control over the party I will make/use female characters only.
>>
I don't really care. Whatever I find nicest out of the pre-baked character selection.

I'll play as the loli or the big mclarge huge, smaller characters for dex/int (maybe tall and lanky for int) characters. Bigger characters for more strength based characters

Saints Row 3 and 4 has a skinny/fat/muscle pyramid for body shape and a sex appeal slider

I always play as a girl, I mean it's called escapism if I wanted to be a guy I'd fucking go outside or something

Females first, The more I play female the harder it is to stop , It's contagious

Grill in less story-heavy RPG's and MMO's, guy in games where it actually matters.
For the romance options, mostly.

Always male. I'm not a gender bender. I would only make a bitch if I wanted to watch her ripe fat ass run away from me constantly on screen as I lick my lips.
>>
>>322324807
Mass Effect marketed Shepard's mug so heavily it wouldn't feel "right" if I played with random guy I made and called him Shepard.
Probably going to go back and replay as FemShep someday.
>>
Female. I'll make a male if I do another playthrough but I usually never feel like it.
>>
What about mmos? I go male because I don't want guys erpg or thinking I am a girl.
>>
>>322324574
>>322324848
This. So always male.

And always human. I don't want to BE the weird alien races, I want to FUCK the weird alien races.

Though sometimes there are exceptions. Like if I can be an interesting and unique race of average size, like a robot, or a bug-person, or a fishman, for random, unfounded examples.
>>
Am a grill so the choice is obvious

I have a penis tho
>>
>>322328907
Always female. MMO's are 80% dress up simulators and the other 20% is watching the same character's ass hopping up and down.

Any hilarious trolling you might get to do with RP'ers/retards who associate character gender with RL gender is just a bonus.
>>

I remember always wanting to play as a female character but feeling intense shame. I'd start a new game and than stop 5 minutes later because I was too embarrassed. Probably at 17 years of age I just decided fuck it, who cares and I haven't played a male since. Mass effect was one game which I found particularly enjoyable as well as FFXIV. Anyone else feel the same way?

I used to always pick a boy because I was a boy
Then I started defaulting to girls when romance wasn't involved so I could customize and dress her up to look like myself
Now I'll be a girl all the time, it's just a question of what kind
