I've never been able to wrap my head around it. If your a dude why not play as a dude. If you play as a girl, what's the point if your not a girl I can't see why you would be one, not saying there's anything wrong with girls I just think it's weird. Thoughts?

Reason number 1: Most likely because the player likes to watch hot video game girls do stuff in game Reason number 2: Or, more unlikely the player in question secretly wants to be a girl O_o. EDIT: It's also possible that the player simply likes the idea of a female hero for the story of a particular game. [Edited on 05.08.2012 1:11 PM PDT]
