So when you play a fantasy games with character creators, do you typically choose your gender based on the class that you feel like playing?

For example, I pretty much never play as a male Paladin, personally. qt gril holy warriors or bust. But if I'm playing as a thief, I always roll a male. Charismatic, dickass scoundrels just work better as males, I think.

Yeah, whenever I run a fist weapon character, I do a male, it just feels right.

Light/Small Weapons, Magic, and Polearms are almost always male for me.

Heavy Weapons, Divine, and Sword/Board are almost always female for me.

Archery is 50/50.

Martials = male
Casters = female
Hybrids depend on certain factors. I usually roll female paladins and male druids for example.

I am not against slut outfits, I just don't want it mandatory. Slut gear is for off duty, not adventuring

a cute chick, but in heavy plate. I can never do slut-wear, it feels wrong and a strong warrior woman in full armor is my fetish.

There's literally no methodology to my gender / class combinations whatsoever. It feels stupid to play directly into stereotypes and it feels stupid to intentionally subvert them so I just make the character I want to make and play as the class I want to play. Maybe I've developed a personality for that character in my head and pick a class that suits that, or maybe I don't, who even cares.
>>
Usually female regardless of the class because character creators simply seem to favor females more. And I surely don't lack taste in men but for some reason it's boring to create males and they never come out right.

I choose female almost exclusively. I prefer looking at females, no matter what they are doing.

The singular exception would be a game with a super feminine type class, like "bunny girl" or something. Then I might go male for pure irony.
>>
>>343379242
If I get a preview of what the character may look like in ultimate armor sets I pick whichever looks a bit cooler.
But usually the women have more to customize in character generators so I tend to learn towards them for that.

If I properly care about the game's story and you play an actual character rather than one of ten million clones, then I'll always go male by default. Sometimes female if there is a specific roleplay opportunity I can see, on second playthroughs.

If it's some random MMO then I'll just go with whatever looks better. And typically females are more attractive than males are good looking male characters and not bishonen garbage.

I can't play female characters. I need some degree of self insertion to enjoy a game, and if the only thing I can achieve that with is having the character share my gender, then that's what I do.

Rarely. I only play males if the females have a terrible case of manface (only a problem in western games) or if they have terrible animations/armor compared to males.

Some of my WoW characters are guys solely because of the race they are, not the class.

In nearly all cases though, I pick female when given the choice. Even in the Halo games where I literally can't even see the difference and I'm covered head to toe in armor anyway, I pick female.

Absolutely not, they removed almost everything good about the trading. Removed localized markets and made a global auction house, 99% of the "trade" system is buying and selling to NPCs for preset prices, no pvp bandit raids on your merchant cart because global market, very strict fixed pricing on all items, etc.
All you do is get items from 1 NPC, take them to another town and hand them over to another NPC for some change. If you want to trade with other players you use a market board in any town and put the item up for a set price, no interaction involved whatsoever.

Consider this: men don't have many clothing options in real life and even in many videogames; irl, women can wear both girly and manly clothes without looking ugly/being laughed at, and men can't. And in games, women's options are usually more unique, more varied and more pretty. My ex boyfriend told me that's one of the reasons he played as a girl in Pokémon X. He was also confused about his gender at the time and used to tell me how badly he wanted to be a grill.

If the game has a 'realistic' (or attempted realism) aesthetic, pretty much always male characters.

If the game has an anime-ish aesthetic, then pretty much always female characters.

For games that fall close between, sometimes it does come down to class - I prefer male heavy fighters (i.e. tanks, barbarians) and female light combatants (rogues, mages, priests, etc.)

I mostly play as a female character because they usually have more custumization options and I can dress slutty if I want. If the game has good customization for both genders it's a 50/50 honestly. Heavily depends on what class and what kind of game it is.
Here's what I usually do
>Ranger: Female
>Warrior(DPS): Male 80%, female 20%
>Mage: Male 30%, female 70%
>Priest/healer: 50/50%
>Rougue/thief: Male 60%, female 40%
>Summoner/warlock: Male

why? I never get why people want to play as most bland and uncool race when you can be ork elf, kajit of a goblin.

Its like you want to recrate irl in game....HERESY!

Basically. I try to make the whole character package; dislikes, why he/she chose whatever class I picked. I never roleplay though.

I think I have a problem. I just like making fleshed out characters.

Dex based classes like ranger or thief: Always the grill
Int classes can go either way, depending on whether the game lets me make a qt magician girl
For pure Str based classes I would probably go male, but then again I don't play warriors because they're for faggots.

Girls always, everytime a game allow to choose.
Unless the character design is SJW-tier shit. Role doesn't matter

It's not gay if you imagine you're the grill

Nope, I always pick the girl. Call me a faggot all you want, nothing can stop my appreciation for cute girls.

What happened to the guy always picking girls being seen as a perv instead of it being some underlining homosexuality or body issues? I just like looking at the cute shit and I get lumped in with these literal faggots, what gives?

Mainstream culture is degenerate, perversion is the norm.
Homosexuality, while pushed toward normativity, is still perceived as deviant, and so become the goto insult.

Expect tranny to be the next ( we already see this in this very thread ).

Is captcha spazzing for some else ?

I usually pick a male character no matter what. Female characters usually have warped boob plate armor which just looks dumb, and aesthetics in general are usually sacrificed for sex appeal. I want a legit good looking character, not fap material, and there is a difference.

>>343379242
If the game offers humanoids only for races then I choose the ones that I can fap hard to, like an elin slut.
If a game lets me be a kobold, skeleton, slime, pig, cow, bird or walking sky snake then I would go for those.
