Depends on the game.. the main things I look out for is art style, how the characters look in their respected armours/suit for the role and voice acting. If it's in a fantasy setting I usually go by class. Tank, warrior = male. Rogue, mage type = female.
When I play an RPG, I want to feel immersed in them so I generally try to avoid stuff which takes me out of the game.. i.e seeing my MC doing unbelievable feats with a certain body type - like a person with a petite build swinging a massive melee weapon and taking down a colossal enemy. On the other hand, for WRPGS like Mass Effect I would 100% choose male because I prefer the voice acting for male Shepard.
