Why do guys make themselves girls in games

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?

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BC1096 The funniest part of this is people say that they would rather look at a girls ass in an RPG, funny thing is I've played ME 1-3, skyrim and oblivion all as dudes and not once felt inclined to stare at my guys ass while in 3rd person, nor have I ver caught myself doing so[/quote] Well I have... Either way, I just find it more interesting to role-play as a character who I have fewer similarities with. It's just more fun to step into the shoes of someone with wildly different social, political, and physical traits than I do. That's also why I rarely play as a human in RPGs.

  • You think that's weird? What about those crazies running around with their heads on fire? Only people who actually have flaming heads should play with Legendary or Eternal armor effects.

  • I'd rather look at a women's ass. I like to play Skyrim in 3rd person so I'd like to stare at my Kajiit's add while doing so.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Queen Chrysalis [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] tntbabin 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.[/quote] Or reason 3 is that some games like RPGs have different dialog options for both genders and some people like to give those a try. [/quote] Lol, good one! But seriously, this. [Edited on 05.08.2012 1:13 PM PDT]

  • Because I can. Mostly I play as a male, but there are times when I play as a female. It is not weird at all. I also like to play as a anthropomorphic lizard person in TES games, but it doesn't mean I want to be one. Ok I lied. It does.

Taking the role of a character. Gender has nothing to do with it, it's part of the fantasy, like the abilities the character may have. I think what it really boils down to is some people aren't comfortable with IMAGINATION.

  • I asked my best friend why his Spartan is a girl, and why he plays a girl in Gears. This was his response. "I don't know really. I guess it's just nice to see some non manly ass every now and then."

  • I agree with you man the girl spartan dosnt really look to noticably different and I am a guy and I wont it registered im a guy. And if I want to stare at a girls butt id rather stare at a reall girls butt or at least a computer chick that remotely looks like a chick im not going to get my heat on for a supposidly chick in a dumb metal suit. And you confuse us poor guys like hey its a girl no wait just some weird dude.

  • Right, because the avatar has to be the same gender as the player.
