I always choose male in any role playing game since I like to imagine that I, myself I'm actually in the game.Sometimes when I don't really like the setting of the game I make up a whole different story. 

Even when I like the story I add events that never really happened, just to make it more exiting.


Well, you got me there with that comment~ I can't be myself if I'm not accurately making it like myself...

It depends on the game, I usually play as a female (GTA Online + Certain MMO's are the only games I play male).
Usually better character design, nice to look at and I like having a bad ass female kicking ass which isn't something that's mainly used in games so it's nice to create that for yourself.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

I've been using the girl avatar more and more. I find it quite entertaining to be able to cosplay people in game, and thats more fun with girl character I guess. I made my character in Pokemon X cosplay as Ennis from Baccano! and I worked towards that perfect outfit the entire game. It was quite wonderful...


Looking at it as cosplay is a good way to look at it. I did the same thing with my trainers in Pokemon X/Y. This was a moment I wish I could be both... TwT

Also, I've heard of Baccano! I only watched a little bit, but my friends said it was really good!

In Saints Row 3, I had a girl who looked like a superhero side kick character, like Robin. It was so awesome, and I thoroughly enjoyed it : )

I acually went male in Saints Row 4, but then went female for he trophy of playing as both genders for 2 hours and I just never switched back, as much as I love Nolan North the female voice I chose was great!

Depends on the game. Games like Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon or MMOs I just play as myself games like Zelda I just always name the character "Link". I always pick the female trainer in Pokemon, it's pretty much tradition at this point.

Oh yeah! There was a trophy for that in 3 too! I just made an old fat dude... I did have an awesome blue suit guy in 2. I could have fun with either role in Saints Row.
