I usually play a female character, because if im going to stare at an ass for 120 hours, it might as well be a nice ass.

Playing the opposite gender would knock me out of immersion much less than installing that many anime-ish mods.

I’m a big, fat, hairy, cishet dude, and I always play as a woman when it’s an option. Female characters generally get more attention from the developers (for obvious reasons), so they usually have better designs and animations, resulting in an objectively higher-quality product. It’s also fun in multiplayer games because toxic dweebs hate it when they think they lost to a girl.

I’ve tried it once or twice, really isn’t for me, always end up going back to a male character. Maybe if I played more in third person, I’d be more likely to play as a female one… but probably still no.

I’ve just come to the conclusion that my digital persona is a woman. I’m a cis hetero man in real life though. Not really any questions about it. But even in VR, I just exist as a lady.

I play opposite gender so i can fapping while playing

Most guys are playing female characters. Even most female player chose them and women hate women the most. :D

Why would I want to look at a dudes ass in third person for 120 hours?

If I’m going to spend several hours staring at the backside of a character, I want it to be a cute girl, thank you.

I played as the opposite gender one (1) time in 2010, to hear the novelty of the female VA for the protagonist in a fully voiced game after two runs as the male protagonist, and I haven’t stopped since. RIP me 😔

Female characters sometimes have smaller hitboxes.

Is that the new Roaming Girl set?
