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..

Sex ≠ gender, but what i play doesnt matter

The user and all related content has been deleted.

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.

Male, because I'm a male irl.

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

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.

I am all.

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....

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

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.

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

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)
