When it comes to character creation, do you prefer a boy or a girl?

[Deleted member 884]

When possible I always choose a girl, it's more fun when you have to change equipment.
EDIT:
Or with the Pokémon games, for example. Girl.

 

[fake-chan]

Boy.

If the game allows to create yourself then that's what I like to do in a video game, which I pretty much have always played as a guy character.

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

Girl, almost universally.

 

[Chezlyn]

Give me the option and I will choose female avatar 80% of the time.
The only every other time I will choose male avatar, is when I want to self insert, provided there's a rather detailed CCC.

Also good question.

 

[Tonyz95]

It depends on the game - i.e I could choose a boy in Pokémon Ruby and a girl in Sapphire, just to distinguish the characters and their Pokémon; in games like Dragon Age I always choose a boy, usually trying to give him my likeness.

 

[MasterEn]

i usually make female characters when given the choice.

 

[Num]

no reason to choose a girl if its a first person game but if its anything else... well

 

[Yousef Yousef]

Girl all the way.

 

[Don Patch]

Depends on what's happening in the game, really.

 

[Inkingsama]

Male because when the character gets hit or something the female character moans like she is getting fucked. It's kinda ridiculous that

 

[Grumpy_Old_Man]

If the game is huge into actual "Role playing"(giving choices with consequences) a male most of the time. But if I am creating a party in a Dungeon crawler or something like Dragon Quest III or IX, some turn based strategy ones(Games that give you most or full control of your party creation), An all female party with lots of different races and alignments.

 

[ZEGA ZONIC]

Both.

 

[ciro64]

I like to either make a brown tomboy with short straight hair and a few scars, or an androgynous cute boy.

I tend to do the girl one as not all character creators are kind enough to let me do what the hell I want.

 

[Yoru Momo]

Body type 2

 

[tranzittruther]

Depends on the customization options. If the character creator doesn't distinguish between character gender when choosing hairstyle/clothes I play as a woman, if not I go with whatever designs I think look better

 

[MJEMRS]

Não tenho nenhuma preferência.
Eu uso o que é mais significativo para mim.

 

[Снегопад]

I just flip a coin.
I don't care what my character looks like as long as I get to hit things with a big sword.

 

[Deleted member 1816]

I just make a character that looks cool (if it's a boy) or hot (if it's a girl).

 

[himekawhite]

I don't really self insert in games so I make whatever is cutest to me.
Normally, girls have better accessories. But either way, I'll think of them as my kid somehow (go forth my scarab...) A boy with brown hair and scars is best. But they often look too plain.
I'll replay a game with the opposite gender if there are changed story bits or different romances.

 

[RageBurner]

When the game allows for different classes/builds I tend to make female alt characters.

 

[moonbits]

excuse me?! but that's a very political heavy question; It is Type 1 or Type 2 now.
Just kidding, I pick male mostly since I self insert, female if it's my second playthrough

 

[Deleted member 121503]

Always girl. Picking a guy character would feel too weird tbh. Not like I have any particular reason to play as one anyway lol

 

[Zachery2112]

When I play a game with a character creator, I tend to choose boy. Mainly because I'm the opposite audience for character creation. Lots of people like to get real creative with their designs but I'm the exact opposite.

You've got people building "Reinhardt the Paladin" or "Sakura the Untouchable." Then there's me with my Preset #1 named Jim.

 

[Bonkers225]

Guy. Always a guy. Especially with online games.
