Main = Dude: Just because I'm a guy i play as a dude, because i wanna feel like a guy when I'm playing a game especially if its girly... (Curse you LATALE you've foiled me for the last time)
Mule/Secondary = Chick: Because you get discounts and free shit
It's going a bit off topic o.o
We probably can find loads of reasons why a dude play a girl toon.
"Man, there's a freaking Female button in the character customisation, I can click it!"
Alright, topic cleared and reopened by creator.
Now, please, let's not fight children.
Yes Everyone no bashing of people this is a discussion.
Winrar!
but this is a bad idea bro. You know the residents of ONRPG, me being one of the worst...
In my opinion, the majority of all guys that play female characters do it because they are perverted. Much like watching hentai. "Roleplaying" and "I don't know" are very often merely excuses for the reason above.
I still think it's insecurity.
There was really no point in reopening this discussion. All that can be said about the subject has been said already. :-/
I mean, are you looking for some sort of philosophical answer? It's just about personal taste. Might as well ask why people enjoy blowing the head off of virtual people.
I play men cuz I prefer spend my whole gaming experience watching thier ***.
And women cuz I spend time watching their jugs @ . @
JK LANG!(Joke only) haha XDD
I play both on male and female characters, Because its a game,
and i grew out of the childish mind set that people have when they see a man playing a female character.
if you start playing a game with the mindset that every female or male avatar in a game = there respective genre in real life.
then youve set your self up for fail.
most people who wingeabout people playing female avatars prolly lack the social interaction with them in real life, and expect the game to fulfill it somehow lol, MMO's are a game, not a dating service.
my first character on WoW was a female tauren, surprising im not a female tauren in real life, i know. its hard to believe lol.
Does that mean males should not play games with the main characters as females?
Guess you guys will all have to skip Venetica which is coming out soon in English.
Also the same must apply for books then.
Looking at girls for hrs, IRL or ingame, doesn't make you gay. Looking at guys for hrs......... doesn't matter IRL or ingame.
Otherwise, plz explain why Tomb Raider is so popular, or at least the protagonist of the series.
maybe because is only a damm game and do you can be what u want ?
maybe because are mmorpgs and thats the point ?
We find Females appealing so we play'em o . o
The cases in which there is no real choice, is a minority. What people are discussing is the big amount of cases in which there are no significant built-in game mechanic differences between playing a female and a male character.
My standpoint is clear: the majority are doing it for the same reason people watch porn and hentai.
Some ppl are smart and play a girl character in order to scam and get what they want. Other reason which is a very annoying reason is that the game is gender locked. If a class I wanna play is a girl I'm a play it with no shame. But at the end of the day I would rather be playing a male.
because there are no Male Fighters
._.
Because male Mesmer in GuildWars looks ugly as shit. They look extremely fat an their outfits are plain. Female Mesmer has pretty costumes.
Now with general gaming. The male version of the class looks ugly as hell (most of the time) or gender locked classes.
You'd rather look at some guy character's fat smelly ***? Nice. I still usually play male characters though ._.
^^exact reason I play female characters most of the time, male characters tend to look beyond terribad.
try posting characters not level 1.

becuz womenz izz sexyyy:D...
but it may get too distracting, like in BnS.
All I see is level 1 character + bulky armor.
Doesn't change the fact that the male model is awful.
:-/
hey, i can do it too!

*shudder*
if i'm gonnna be staring at something for hours every day, it better damn well be a female.

Look at those freaking shoulder pads.

Way better.
i played l2 with a group of friends for maybe 7-8 hours almost day last summer. Not the most healthy thing to do, but it was a solid group of very chill awesome people who i'm still friends with today and talk to via facebook and such.
Didnt really destroy my social life because i could go out at night and such, but still, it was something to do and hanging out with a group of friends who all get along and have fun is awesome. I just prefer to stare at a girls avatar rather than a guys.
and so no, its not a problem.
for you. i don't care how good the girl model looks. nothing will make me play one if i had a choice.
i wasn't judging the amount of time spent playing a game, rather the act of staring at your characters *** while trying to play the game. alt tab every hour or so and look at a picture of a real(not REAL, but a real human nonetheless) woman bent over naked to tide you over.
Then why do you quote me and keep replying to me if I was agreeing with Lawliet and sinnful. You obviously don't care about how models look and your reason for playing a male character is another one, which is completely fine. What I mean is, that picture and comparison wasn't directed towards you, because you don't EVEN CARE about models. It was directed towards people that do care, I was just showing what kind of things make SOME people stay away from male characters. Again, this does not include YOU.
:-/
I'm not staring at my characters @$$? im looking at the whole thing since the screen is rotatable. and why would i need to look at a picture of a real woman bent over? i don't get turned on by the fact that i'm looking at hot pixels, nor do i need to look at pornographic images to enjoy females. get it over your head, i don't play a female in order to stare at her ***, i play a female because i prefer NOT to look at guys while i'm playing.
get over the small arguement you have that i'm staring at a female ***. i'm not. i'm looking at the entire thing, absorbing the majesty of my character in all her shiny armor and glory. I like females, and thats the end of that.
This thread seems to be split into four specific groups:
A. I don't care what gender I play.
B. I like playing female characters.
C. I like playing male characters.
D. LOL You're a *** if you don't play your gender because I'm right and you're all wrong no matter what I say.
It would be nice if group D would crawl back under the bridge.
