I tend to favor handsome characters that don't fit with the typical super-macho man trope.

While I find this topic entertaining, I feel the bickering will get this closed soon. Take it to private message, please.

This is why we can't have nice things...

I'm a bisexual male. A few years ago I used to play only females in games, nowdays not so much. Wonder what changed.

RPGplayer13579 · November 2017

I'm a male who plays six characters. Three of them are male, and three of them are female.

Intresting 3/10 are female players. I wonder if this high or low

https://quanticfoundry.com/2017/01/19/female-gamers-by-genre/

Turns out it's actually a bit low with rating being 36% from this study. But rating could go to more if you add farming and more sim like features. Seems like casual puzzles also increase it by a significant number. With VR coming maybe people will go on virtual dating or exploration. I like the little things where I could jump off a water fall in new life festival.

As a female things I would like to see are better interactions with npcs. Sure the AI dialogue dynamic, and pathing here and there is intresting, but world can feel dead sometimes. Actually I would like to see more ways to interact with the world players and npcs. (ex bounty hunting, mudballs, ...)

P.S @ZOS_RichLambert seems like ESO is doing almost 10% better in attraction to female audience than wow.

Girls are nice to look at.

So are boys (and by that I mean 'men')

Would've assumed you meant that anyway.

Though I bet your guys are all beefy and chiseled huh.

haha It was just that 'boys' sounded creepy in that context, to me anyway, so I wanted to confirm what I meant

and yes they are all beefy & chiseled...how'd you know?

LadyAstrum · November 2017

Female and I play female characters. I only make a male character if I'm bored or using that character as a roleplay husband or father of my female character/s.

skyhawk002 · November 2017

I'm a male and mainly play other gender(s)

I tried to do this systematically in the past so I made all magicka characters female and all stamina characters male.I felt like Conan the Barbarian and Sabrina the Witch as arch types I guess for respective classes. I don't know. It doesn't really matter to me.

Cinbri · November 2017

I'm a male and mainly play females

If I have to stare on butt of my char 100% of playtime I prefer this butt to be hot.
Another reason is that in mmos developers investing more resources in female styles, while ordinary male is just Schwarzenegger on steroids with couple iconic hairstyles that not looks weird.

geonsocal · November 2017

hmmmm, I may just gave issues...10 swinging richards for characters, one of each race, but, no ladies...it never even crossed my mind...

i don't think I've ever even played any tomb raider games...

I'm sure there must have been some game at some time wherein i assumed the role of some heroine...

ahhhhhh, just remembered - played black widow and princess leia on the disney infinity...

whew...i'm okay...

DPShiro · November 2017

I identify as a Fabricated Netch that prefers the company of Mud Crabs, and my characters are split 7 males, 7 females.

SisterGoat · November 2017

I'm a other gender and mainly play other gender(s)

Great, another discussion about "you can't be X gender because I said so". Can we please stop dictating and making fun of people's genders with stupid helicopter jokes? I'm actually gender fluid, despite my username, and I play both male and female characters evenly.

TheShadowScout · November 2017

I generally play both male and female genders in equal measure. And if a game had them, I'd play genderless and intersexed as well.

As for the real me, well... I am wierd. Let's just leave it at that.

AlienatedGoat · November 2017

I'm a zombie goat.

Asardes · November 2017

BladedMischief · November 2017

I'm a female and mainly play females

I mainly play females. Mainly because I end up hating how my male characters look. But now I'm tempted to go make another male character that I'm actually gonna play.

crimeanerevar928b14_ESO · November 2017

I'm a female and mainly play other gender(s)

I am biologically female (though I don't adhere to a lot of gender standards within my culture; I like to say I identify as an assault helicopter XD). By 'other gender' (though I don't want to confuse gender with sex, so I pretty much mean biological sex here, IMO sex and gender are something different but I'm not gonna get into political debate) in my poll vote, I have 14 characters, and half of those are male, half of those are female.

I don't really roleplay as the characters in ESO except on my alt account, so I don't really know what they identify as, genderwise. I usually tend to main a male character in games, but in ESO it's pretty equal.

Flaminir · November 2017

The most other above all others (I'm kidding)

Confusing poll is confusing.

Really only 5 options:
Male playing male
Male playing female
Female playing male
Female playing female
Play a mixture

I'm male and have a mix of male/female charachters that I play regularly.

I think its interesting and comes down to how you view your charachter... whether it's just a charachter or you see it as a Tamrielic representation of yourself.

Fodore · November 2017

Whatever I think suits the character I want to create.

Untrue. Beyond gender identity, it is a fact that at a biological level not everyone can be accurately described as male or female. The biology of human sexes is more complicated than many seem to realize.

AdamBourke · November 2017

I often play females in single player games, but my main in online games is always male. My only alt is female though. Needed someone to wear all the cool female outfits in the store!

SisterGoat · November 2017

Remember that intersex people also exist. They are not technically male or female.

Dr_Ganknstein · November 2017

Seems like people confuse the word personality with gender these days.

Tyrion87 · November 2017

So many options, yet no "I'm a male and only play males" haha

Wrubius_Coronaria · November 2017

For those who don't understand gender is more complex than a binary option.

I get more and more disappointed each day with humanity... how do ppl argue over something so insignificant. It's just a poll.

I make male characters mostly but my wife designed a female dk for me a long time ago.

So, you pick a breton male and see yourself as trans redguard female. Anyways, 99.99% of others will see you as breton male, even if u use tu'wacca in every sentence.
