Still depending on the kind of character I want + the name

Majeure

Male

Got a couple female characters so I guess I should've picked Both, but almost all of my playtime is on Male characters, as I am one and it just feels right. Plus I like my armor to be more bulky, aaand the female character models aren't that appealing in this game, somehow..

Have 3 male and 2 female characters. All of them are khajiit. I make my characters attractive and appealing to my tastes.

Good answer

I like the cut of your jib

GreenhaloX

The behind swaggering while moving of the female toons are what is still keeping in this game. Ha ha

I design my characters physically to reflect their essence/purpose as I see it.

Ex:
My Imperial DK tank is male. Tanks are strong and unyielding, so my tank should be male (as my society teaches that men are tough, capable of handling trouble, etc.). Dragonknights also seem to be a class that utilizes brute force and pure power (fire, etc) to fight their battles. It's also hard for me to imagine something like a dainty little lady keeping Rakkhat's attention on her while waving tiny little stick arms at him. If I were to roll a female tank, she would probably be heavier set, tallish, and have well-defined facial features. That sort of thing. But in this case, it was easier and felt more natural for the tank to be a male.

I'm a lady but I play male in almost every game. Don't know why. Just feels better I guess..?

The one that I feel fits teh character.

My Nightblade and Sorcerer are male, my Templar is female. (Haven't actually PLAYED the Sorcerer and Templar yet, they were created to unlock all 3 free Inn rooms and sit easy at level 5, which they earned getting to the cave to recover the Inn deed).

Illurian

Male

Male, because I'm a male irl.

I'd probably end up playing both once I have a male character of each race, though.

Ahmbor

Male

Male, always male.

Visigoth

Male

Male, because I'm male... and I find that people tend to consciously/unconsciously alter their interactions with me through my character based on that difference.

Arrchangell

Male

Always male as first character cause i'm male, i really don't think about that when playing a new game with the options to choose gender.

I am all.

Bringer

Female

Female because i like to play dressup and the game wont let me make a cute enough male

Panomania

Mostly male, the wife plays with me and she's straight

But I do have a nord female in a bath towel as my pack mule, named "Phunbagz" because.....she has bags full of fun stuff! Yeah, thats it....

Xargas13

Male

Male, since I am male

blacksghost

Female

Female, since I am one, but IME limited as that is, gender is pretty irrelevant in ESO anyway.

Muttsmutt

Male

irl female, in-game male. because female armors with the breast bulges TRIGGER me so hard, they're impractical and actually harmful to whoever wears the armor.
i'd want to play female characters [and sometimes say *** it and i do] if designers gave them actual armor not that godawful breast space stuff. it even LOOKS bad. grrrrh. i hate it.

I create a "me" character who is male; but I also create some other characters, both male and female, thinking about my real life friends and family + Tamriel lore + inspiration from other videogames/series/movies/books.

Solace of Shadows

Male

I'm always male and always try to be the good guy.

The characters I create and the choices I make are a reflection on who I am, one way or another.

I've tried playing a female just as I've tried playing evil but I always end up gravitating way from thise charaters and deleting them.

I don't like it when males play females and vice versa because it feels like they misrepresent themselves but that's just me.

I know I play my way and others play their way. So whatever, you do you, have fun and respect others.

It's fantasy and an escape and many feel female characters are prettier to look at for hours at a time (which I cannot disagree with).

Currency in ESO isnt much of an issue, so creating female chars/pretending to be female to get free stuff isnt strictly required.

WarMasterCyp

Male

I play male because I am a man, it feels weird playing a female.

Kiralyn2000

Female

I play female because I am a man, and I like women.

Particularly kick-butt/take-names Xena/Buffy/Sydney Bristow/BlackWidow women.
My character is not me, it is an action figure/doll that I'm pushing around on the game board.

I pretty much always played female characters in MMOs (since vanilla WoW), and I've never gotten free stuff. (Perhaps due to me just playing female characters, and not "pretending to be female" in chat. /shrug)

Playing a male argonian maid wearing a dress would be way more weirder than it already is
