I think they're all secretly envious of RP, tbh.13 -
Krayzie✭✭✭✭✭@Krayzie If you're going to spend a few hundred hours staring at the backside of your character, you might as well make it something nice to look at.
Yea that's the usual excuse but it makes me ask the question, why were you staring at your male characters butt for hours on end.

chuck-18_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Dude, there were so many people running around in the Wedding Dress (or "Warrior Gown" as some prefer) when it first came out, boys and girls, that someone on the lore reddit (a fabulous place, wedding dresses aside) wrote a piece of apocrypha about it! In other words, to answer your question: a LOT. It's disturbing, and makes me wish for a dedicated RP server all the more.
A link, if you're curious. It's a fun little read.

seedubsrun✭✭✭✭I don't really see why anyone would need to provide an "excuse" as to why they, as a guy, would choose a female character or why they'd dress up a male character in women's clothes. For the latter it's likely just funny to them, and really a big fat orc man in a wedding dress tearing up the battlefield is pretty funny. For the former, I'm a guy and I have mostly male characters. I like the role play aspect of my characters though so I made my Warden as the daughter to my old-ass Gandalf looking sorc. I don't think it really says anything about men who make female characters or women who make male characters in general.14 -

Yes but om the other hand you have GoT to countwr balance that. I think its more along the lines of caster = magic = robes = dresses0 -

Out of curiosity, do you spend any time at all making your character look 'good'? Pick specific motifs? Use the dye station? Cover it with a disguise, costume or polymorph?

✭✭I mean I'm not going to deny that a lot of people do it as a joke like "tee hee look at me I'm as heavy a bald orc with a handlebar mustache in a dress #1001 I'M SO FUNNY!" which like not even going to go into how these jokes are born of transmisogynistic BS but if people just want to express their character or have fun wearing whatever they want to wear then more power to them."Your mistake is you begged for your life, not for mercy.

✭✭✭Lotsa weird people in this game, guys picking girl characters always gets me lul
Also, how do you know they're male? Lots of women play female characters too, and most of them don't use feminine @'s.
Edit: Also, my male toon is eye candy, pure and simple. He wears a shirtless costume for a reason.
So, anyone dressing a male toon in a "female" costume probably likes the look. Does the reason matter?Edited by CaffeinatedMayhem on July 26, 2017 4:00PM9 -

Yes, I am guilty of this.
It's not really any different, playing a female character.
Since the beginning of my MMO playing, 20 whatever years ago, I've always had to play male characters that in some way I could relate to. Some sort of effigy of myself. I'd try female characters but they'd never stick. It wasn't until this past October when I made a new mDK that it changed. My vision for the character was a crazy dark elf woman* who loved setting folks on fire. The aesthetic did not fit any male character I could come up with. It stuck. It has become my favorite character of any that I've played across many MMOs.
The point is, it's the aesthetic. We all see things in our characters. Granted, some more than others, but we all do it. Even the folks that are here for that leet minmaxing meta kill everyone thing. Some of them make good looking characters that appeal to their eye. Some of them make a character that might resemble themselves, and even some of them make ugly/funny/strange characters because they think its amusing. None of it is wrong.
I don't RP, but I still have this idea, this 'story' if you will, of where each of my characters has come from. The aesthetic helps build that foundation, make the character interesting and fun or appealing to look at, even while 'looking past' your character at the target(s) in front of you.
*It reminded me how much I like Dunmer lore from previous TES, and I've created several others to this point in time.Edited by Sigtric on July 26, 2017 4:01PM

So you HAVE played the game. Kinda surprised you didn't notice. I see at least 5-10 every play session. Kinda hard to miss the big burly guys in the wedding dresses with the veil. Not the *** RPers (usually white scarecrow mask), totally different look.
