Depends. If a game has a male protagonist who is absolutely beasted up with roids even though I want to either play a Mage/Stealthy person, I'll pick a female because their frame fits the class more. If a game features a protagonist that can conforms/can be edited to be like the class archetype, I'll be male. That's pretty much it for me. Males in this game aren't exactly up to their eyeballs in steroids, so that's nice for me.
