Post Reply New Topic

I was just wondering how many of you guys play as a girl/guy on wow and do you feel weird when you do or not really

Dont look at me like that now i feel weird

Lolpwnt,

No i dont even play world of warcraft but on runescape i knew a man pretending to be a girl

Yes I do. It's probably due to the reason I have created characters based upon the characters in writing. This includes names. Why would it feel weird? Are you unsecure?

About half of my toons in WoW are female. As another gamer once put it, "If I'm going to spend hours looking at my character's backside, I at least want it to be a pleasant view."

That's what my brother says. I've only played a few femme toons, but I've always found them too distracting . . . i know they're not real, but hormones are still a PITA. It's just easier for me to play as male toons . . . easier to imagine I guess .

I don't play WoW but I play a mix of male/female chars on other MMOs
Female chars tend to have better armour and look better, and I do feel a bit weird playing as a guy. Though I've seen a lot of female chars obviously played by guys.

I'm a guy, but I play both male and female characters in any game that allows one to customise one's own avatars (Western RPGs, The Sims, etc).

In WoW I had many characters of both sexes, but my favourite two were probably my male undead shadow priest and my female draenei hunter. I liked my priest because he looked evil and badass, whereas I loved my hunter because I found her sexy and spunky. Ignoring the hooves, horns and tail, draenei females had the best body shape.

In other RPGs like Mass Effects 1&2, Fallouts 1-3, Morrowind, Oblivion, Dragon Age: Origins, Vampire: The Masquerade and Jade Empire, I tend to make both men and women. I think the only classic RPG series I've played in which I haven't made a female character is the Baldur's Gate series. I stuck with my male mage throughout that entire saga, and I didn't have the strength to play through it all again. Someday.

When building and roleplaying characters, with men I tend to make them similar to myself, but an idealised version. With women, I tend to make them into someone I'd be attracted to, both looks and personality-wise. I took that to its logical extreme in The Sims 3, where I literally recreated myself and my ideal hypothetical girlfriend, then got them married and played through three generations of their progeny.

By the way, is DeaconBlues a Steely Dan reference?

I totally disagree. Female characters in film and videogames tend to wear chainmail bikinis. It looks stupid and it is not-so-subtly sexist. Real armour looks more or less the same on the outside, whoever it is fitted for. No bulging boobs and definitely no shocking gaps in coverage.

I go half and half. When I have the opportunity (thank you, Saint's Row 2! ) I deliberately go for hics mulier and haecs vir.

Thanks for replys Ive only played a couple of female characters i dunno i might make another and no im not insecure

^^Greetings everyone. I believe I enjoy playing as happy male characters within role-playing. I enjoy considering my little character as myself within the game, and thus only choose male characters (although I often enjoy selecting differing races, as my main character within World of Warcraft, although I have cancelled my poor subscription for the moment).

For some of us, "chainmail bikinis" on females are better than normal, effective armor.

And yes, I do play females characters in WoW, for no particular reason. Right now the only female character I play is a Blood Elf Paladin, mostly because I can't stand male Blood Elves.

I'm a dude, and I made a little gnome chick. There's nothing sillier than a pink bubble gummed kid that goes psychotic with an axe (kitchen knife). ha ha ha.Then you emote with /lol or laugh. She giggles. awwwwwwwwwwe.
