Same here  played male in F4 and  my  game crashed so I then  created a female and like you found her answers sounded better plus, she looked better in my eyes anyway , usualy with user created characters,  I run through both sexes designs and usualy come up with one of each that I feel are the best creations  I can come up with ,then choose what to my eye looks the best .

Wait a minute.

You can play as a female in Blood borne?

The Souls games female models looked like poop. Now I have to buy Bloodborne!!

I always choose male when given the choice, and frankly, I can't help but think that people who always opt for the opposite sex to be a bit creepy. I only reason I could see myself playing as a female character in an RPG is if it had different/better skillset/moves/progression abilities or if it was an actual character like someone mentioned above.

Very rarely, unless the female character is notably cooler than the male. Mass Effect was one, and Diva's probably my #1 character in Overwatch, if that counts.

I prefer kicking ass as a female.

Plus most games that I play where I don't have a choice it's a male, so variety is fun. I played as Eevie on AC Syndicate whenever possible.

I can confirm your suspicions!

I am always playing as a male character, but I dont have a problem if the main character has to be female like in horizon

I mostly pick male characters although I have had made the odd additional female character for online games. You always find some male players always assuming you are female and give you free stuff.

Fighting games I'm not fussed

They look like poop there too but you mostly cover their faces with with masks or hoods... plus blood covers them also. My only characters in Bloodborne have been 4 females and one fat guy who had bright green hair just because it was funny.
