I’m not judging, I’m genuinely curious. The reason why I’m asking is because in this sort of games I like to make the character resemble me as much as possible in every aspect, so I’m just curious to know what is the motivation behind men that decide to play as a female character.
I think women are cool.
For me, it’s the voice. For a voiced character like V, it requires a very special talent to take you on a journey with them, to listen to their fear, pain, anger and despair. Cherami Leigh just does such a fantastic job of bringing V to life for me, of really bringing that raw emotion out and making it feel real!
Mass Effect was the same. Femshep Gang \m/
I’ve played through completely twice, once masc, once fem, and femV is such a better voice actor. The mascV sounds more like a cartoonish version of V, if that makes sense.
Making the exact same character in every game gets old after a while. Also boobs.
Why be me when I can be a pretty girl
As probably a generic “dude” as one can be, I like playing female characters because it gives me a chance to be someone I’m not. I play games to remove myself from the real world for a bit, and playing a male character feels too much like self-insertion.
It’s weird, but being forced into playing from a “self” perspective I find to be less enjoyable. I like being told a story, and getting to participate in it, but I dont like when the story feels like it’s supposed to be about myself, rather than a character.
