Character gender statistic

Why would ZOS reply to such a question, if only one person asked via mail. Putting the question into the forums might motivate other people to support the question. There are some pretty grumpy people around here....

I like my girl toons look cute and my boy toons look awesome.

I started with a male char in Skyrim because playing a girl feeled weird. Then I stumbled into modding and still playing a male char feeled weird with all the options of adding enchanted jewelry to my build.

Who can agree?

Yes, not me.

Sexist game is sexist.
There's a whole pile of jewellery that my male character would really like to wear, but it has "wrong gender" IN RED on it.
Why is it my male characters can wear dresses, but not matching jewellery?

Cheap and lazy ZOS is cheap and lazy.

I am a woman and I have 13/15 toons. Two are male and the rest are female. The two male are tanks. For some mental reason I feel tanks should be strong meaty men. lol

My tanks are strong females. A couple of them could be considered beefy.

oh well..after i asked. i have a couple of accounts, i once made a male character - didnt find him attractive. i guess my eso cahrs equals a bit "barbie dolls" like in my childhood - but not as pink (

). each of them is an own persona. maybe i also find the female models in eso more attractive and asthetic but i couldnt get myself making a man...even though i sometimes think, i also could have a good looking muscle toi boi to look at...then...meh. i also have the feeling, female chars looks less generic and can be "modeled" with a greater variety. the only thing that doesnt vary with ALL my female chars: i make them maximum heigh.

i tend to make my female tanks with a bit more butt and - not huge or maximum, but they need to have a nice meaty butt and some thighs, which shows shes able to stand tall.

Hello Devs and people from Zos and stuff,
hello @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_KaiSchober and @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

there is something i am really really really interested in. There is a subjective feeling, that most female players play female chars and a huge part of male players play female chars, but there is no official statistic showing it.

I really would like to know, how many chracters in ESO on the differenz platforms are male and how many are female, a percentage. No need to split it into female and male players owning them, just a general number of heroes and heroines in the time of the interregnum.

It would be so awesome, if you could provide a number. Please please please *_*

You sound like a stalker there, Dexter.

Cringe x10

I read it as the OP was just curious about demographics and statistics. Something lost on many. And some others not only don’t get it but want to stigmatize it out of ignorance. (Yes, I’m referring to you)

kathandira · October 2018

I am Male, but play both Male and Female characters.

It is decided as shown below:

Heavy Armor - Male

Medium Armor - Either

Light Armor - Female.

Chicharron · October 2018

I'm also curious, my 2 characters are men.

I come from World of Tanks, 99.99% male player base.

Normally i play alone, but most of the players that i've met in the game are women.

Normally this happens.

Me: ty bro.
Player: yw and im a lady
Me: sorry, thank you Señorita

I'm just a bunch of pixel in ESO

I’m not grumpy, just curious since I would probably have asked via PM first. I think it’s unlikely they will see this thread and reply with official numbers, I could be wrong though, I often am.

I've noticed this topic cropping up from time to time on different gaming forums (Skyrim, Dragon Age etc), and I have noticed that females more often than not tend to play females, and males will have a slight preference for playing males, but will play females with more frequency than the converse. Not a hard and fast rule of course, and it can have a variety of reasons, but I gravitate towards the one put forward by @mxxo that women may be more likely to play characters they relate to, whilst men may be more likely to play them as fictional video game characters (ones which they like the look of, it seems).

Women nowadays look for sexism everywhere ( #NotAll , but enough that it's annoying).

I wish there was a super power that would turn all men who said this into women for a week. Would love to see how they appreciate having their stated facts largely treated as mere opinions, and their opinions summarily dismissed.

Also, the no women on the internet meme would be completely illogical if following the reasoning put forward by you. In fact if people actually wanted no gender biases, they should just assume any internet user to be both male/female until gender is claimed.

I wish there was a super power that turned all women who said this into men for a week, then they would find out how good they actually have it and would stop complaining.

Seriously, except for the odd idiot all of society is catering to women's sensibilities and treating women better than men (idiots of which by the way there are a lot more of on the other side, in fact a whole multi-billion industry dedicated to that kind of idiocy). Google for Norah Vincent and watch some interviews she gave on the topic after living as a man for a year. I'm sick and tired of uninformed people acting like women have it so bad and men have it so much better.

And if you think that "there are no women on the internet" makes no sense because it's gender specific, you should read my explanation again, because I addressed the exact point you are using as a fail "gotcha". But I guess understanding cultural context is not in the skill set of members of the church of wymminworsting.

ah i also dont think, its gonna happen, that zos will show more statistics. there are a lot of numbers i am curious about. they did in the past - like statistics from events, ava statistics and other stuff, but not when asked. also i think a lot of topics will get down "unread". still the chance is higher than via mail and whoever is curious about suich numbers should emphasize it and search for comm-support - thats how a community works, basically - if people are interested into something, they gonna discuss it, if not, they wont.

off topic - another number which i am curious about is the percentage of ps4, xbox and pc - there have been some statistics, in 2015 - but i really want refreshed ones. as example. numbers and statistics are awesome #no creepy stalker

My gender identity is jewelry and my pronouns are diamond, ruby, and sapphire. I've yet to make a thread about how people like me are subject to simply being seen as fashionable playthings rather than people thanks to jewelry crafting being added as part of Summerset Isles, so I'm glad I can talk my oppression in this thread instead.

oh yeh, i feel really good beeing reduced to girly clichees, getting flirted and sexualized at work, every day - in 2 of 4 worklplaces i have been - or getting compliments on my bbs, getting asked to wear more girly stuff, getting even told from my family to wear more girly stuff. i find it really nice, that people care, wether i get a baby and tell me that my clock is ticking and that i - for genetical reasons - will be sad not having babies. i love getting reduced as person who isnt able to do some repairings in the house, not beeing able to change hardware in my pc and getting touched unasked onn private parts. i also love having worse chances for job promos. its so good to be a woman and we are treated so much better than men, because men hold me doors open and men want to pay my dinner when going out for a date - even tho i am able to pay myself. yes, sir, yes.

As someone that lived as a woman 4 more years than Norah Vincent lived as a guy, I was going to respond but I’ll defer to your experience.

Wildberryjack · October 2018

I'm female IRL and most of my characters are males. Most of my toons in other games are male also. Usually the females stand odd and gear looks better on the males so I make males.

speaking of off topic demographics I used to play CoD and they had maps you could pull up that showed where most of the deaths occurred. I would love to see a Cyrodiil map like that. Being DC I believe the path from Bleakers to Chalman would have the highest deaths but since I never PvP for AD or EP I might be wrong.

I like the ones they did post for AvA, Aleswell being the deadliest keep is one I remember. I wonder which dungeon boss has the most kills?

kargen27 · October 2018

This character has been accused at one time or another of being both.

When I see a fat male orc (or Nord) in a wedding dress I like to put on my tux and try to get a screen shot.

I have 15 characters and either five or six are female. My main is female because my first character turned out to be better suited for crafting than killing things.

SaxonCrusader · October 2018

I'd like to say about this thread what sceptics say about someone's wedding, but I'd be overestimating it by 51 weeks, 6 days, and 22 hours.

Why did you make this thread with no poll to gather at least some stats just from this post?

And FWIW, I'm a male with 3 female characters. I started the game with a male character but just hated everything about it, so I did a race change and changed everything else about that toon too. Since then I made two more female characters. The game has plenty of horrendous looking NPCs...

there already has been a poll in the past, so why should i do it again? also its only forum, and the amount of people in the forum is a) very low compared to the ingamers and usually from my experience also b) not representative, because people deciding to discuss in forums are usually more dedicated and a bit "otherwise" (in a good way) than the casual questers.

i asked zos for official statistics. i like how it ended with people telling their own "story" and explaining their decision a lot.

I was just asking a simple question. I apologize if I triggered you.

Can females in the game just stand normally? They stand with their backs arched and their butts sticking out. No one stands like that. I make their butts as small as possible and it still looks that way. Straighten up their lower backs a bit please.

And here I sit wishing male characters would project their butts a little bit more. Negative butt is negative.

Well, here is the view of someone who has lived as both a woman and a man longer than you have lived as a woman.

Complaining about being "sexualized" to someone who has to work hard to get anything more than condescending or suspicious looks is akin to a fat American complaining to a starving sub-Saharan child that the number of food choices they have are oppressing them and destroying their health.

Your problem is that you get too many compliments, and people remind you that you can't wish biology away? Damn, I wish I was such a celebrity that that's all I had to worry about, people giving me compliments. The part about home and PC repairs is entirely irrelevant, it's equivalent to women saying that men can't clean the house or wash dishes. Getting touched by private parts happens to men too. And that you have a lower chance of being hired is just a blatant lie.

And no, women don't have it better than men for having doors held open, they have it better than men because..
- They get milder prison sentences for the same crimes
- They almost always get to keep custody of their children in case of a divorce
- If they don't get custody of their children, they still aren't forced under threat of imprisonment to pay child support
- There are countless programs to help women in need (domestic violence shelters etc.)
- Duluth model, because screw due process
- 5 years longer life expectancy
- 3x lower suicide rate, because of course it's the "privileged" ones that would kill themselves
- 3x lower homelessness rate
- Much higher spending on gender specific medical research

And many more things that I couldn't think of from the top of my head. Compared to all this, what you listed are literal 1st world problems.

Ashilda_Dragonheart · October 2018

To me, it doesn't matter too much what gender people play as, but I'm a girl and all 3 of my characters are female. I've tried to make male characters but I find it harder to make them for some reason.

Dont_do_drugs · October 2018

waow. i dont know what to say. i never read something that ridiculous. beeing jealous of people, which arent taken for serious, because they have breast, which get molested, just because of ur own low self esteem - i am speechless. its even ridiculous, u think it has something to do with "good looks" to get molested or downgraded at work. having breasts has nothing to do with good looks. jealous for 5 years longer life while beeing downgraded most time of the life with a higher chance, comparing suicidal rates while on the other hand WAY MORE women are in psychological treatment for depression, borderline (often after sexual abuse) or panic disorders and even bringing up the divorce question, even tho the problem isnt on the juristical side, but on gender stereotypes which are taken on by the parents themselves (in the western countries).

i never read something that stupid.

phairdon · October 2018

mmorpg = many men online role playing girls.

All my characters are male. Only ever created one female character in a mmo. Was a very creepy experience getting random lewd private messages
