    An even easier way, are they wearing armour? If the answer's no then it's a guy

    But I'm definitely a guy and my female character wears armor...

    The only sure method is asking whether someone likes "Pride and Prejudice" (the original without zombies). If they do... they are female.

      The better way to tell the difference is by their character name. I can't really explain it but I can almost always tell a girl from a g.i.r.l by their character name, gamertag name and style.

      This one might be more accurate. Every time I've had a conversation about dyes in a game it's been mainly women joining in (and in my guild which is how I know). Men seem more inclined to go for Black + red/gold/white and call it a day.

      But of course there are exceptions on both sides.

      The 5 mins it takes to switch my a character from gold to red is long enough. XD

      I think it depends on the person's preferences and even how they look irl. Some like to make characters that look like them, others make characters that look how they wish they looked like.

      Unless they are a roleplayer like me. Then it is whatever fits the character. I'm a scrawny thing with such a tiny chest people often think I'm underage (I'm 24), but my characters do not have anything to do with me. My characters tend to have small chest, okay, but I try to make it look natural for their body types: Chubby characters have bigger chest, thinner or muscular character have smaller ones.
      Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

      Meet my characters:
      Command: Do the thing.

      Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
      Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
      Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
      Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
      Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
      Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
      Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
      Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
      Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
      Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

      But she's an Argonian and I feel very strongly about lizard titty so that's more the rationale.

      I'm female and I base boob size on race. It feels wrong to give argonian or khajiit larger boobs but I made my orc busty and a little chunky cause it suited the race better. I make my khajiit lithe and my argonians stocky. I'm also a fan of non humanoids lmao.

      Yeah, yeah, something something Hist shaped them to be more appealing to men and mer something something - the actual reason is most likely "we didn't feel like making a different model". To be fair, that's not ZOS, it's Bethesda. But it still makes me mad. ):<

      I left the game for around a year and I'm wondering if they enlarged the boobs? I can never remember the maxed out boobs looking so large. So much so, they look ridiculous on my Dumner. Not gonna pay through the nose just to make them smaller though.

      The Saxheel race (aka Argonians) need Hist sap to make more humanoid in terms of walking two legs, smarts, and other aspects of what we will called "a normal upper race" (not a animal). Also, if the hatching can not get the His Sap (like in a Dunmer Slave camp :'( ), the hatching can drink the mother's milk to get the needed Hist sap. There is a lore reason why Argonian females have breasts.

      Playing as a female Khajiit, I've noticed that maxing out chest size doesn't have much of an effect on her. Especially when considering the fact that many players often have the sliders set lower on human/mer characters to compensate for just how ridiculously busty they can appear while wearing certain armours.

      OyaEzP7.jpg

      And yes, this is my character with both sliders maxed out (though if anyone's done better I'd be...interested in viewing their efforts >:))

      My main is a female, as are several, but not all, of my alts. One of the first "First Person" games I played was Tomb Raider, where you play Lara Croft, so it's not unusual, really. My daughter asked my why I play a lot of female characters and my answer was pretty simple - when you go to create a character, it's a lot more fun to make a pretty girl than to make some dude.

      And for what it's worth, if you want a curvy female in ESO, Bosmer are the best. You can get some nice hourglass proportions with a Bosmer that you can't seem to with other races.

      Don't judge me.

      You are right. Not everyone is shallow and superficial. For women and men, it all sags eventually, and if its too much, the person develops back and posture problems. Do you want that to happen to your characters?
