Player vs. character gender

Ladybutt.



Not sexist, but so true.

I've spent countless hours trying to figure out how to make the females walk faster. If I ever unravel that mystery, I'll be up for playing a female once again. Until that time, it's straight Testosterone for me!

Did you say Testosteroni? Isn't that a San Francisco treat?

Ha-ha! I slay me.

I think, you're confusing it with Canneloni. That's a kind of italian pasta.

Ha ha ha!

Testosteroni.

I'm a female and I prefer to play male characters. I'm one of the minority. YAY!

To make things even stranger, I usually play male Malks. ._. Don't ask.

Welcome to TCI Turtle, I'm sorry to see you're in turmoil though. Hopeully we can cheer you up!

I ate some of that last night at the gym.

Hi Turtle,
then we are opposite sides of the same coin. I'm male, and in bloodlines usually play female Malks. I love that clan, but I really can't stand the looks of the male model, so there is no choice for me

-

I'm with you Malkav, I'm playing through as a Malk currently and as I was looking at the male Malk model...I just "couldn't". That model is just HORRIBLE, the guy looks like a complete and total loser to me.

Besides...the female Malk model has that whole bouncy thing going for her...

But you don't see that a lot. Unless you turn the camera to 180 degrees, and walk backwards all the time

-

True enough But the male model is just terrible any way you look at it I'm sure my attempt at humor won't offend any of the ladies

Haha, thanks for the welcome! I'unno, I originally hated the look of male Malks too, but after I saw their armor, they sort of grew on me. If a pimp coat and floppy striped hat don't say "Ohsh-- This guy is crazy!", I don't know what does.

All comes down to a matter of personal preference though. Fem malks are too stripperish to me, which is why I typically avoid playing them. But hey, some alot of people like that stuff. I'm not going to object.

Yikes, forgot to say welcome in all those posts Turtle...so WELCOME

Wow, Turtle, so far the one and only.

What's wrong with strippers? *wink

No I think he had it right with Testosteroni. I hear that's definitely an acquired taste in San Francisco. (rim shot)

I only drink blood, so I'm no expert on cuisine

On a cable car while driving down Lombard St. (not that you can do both at the same time) to Fisherman's Wharf to catch a boat to Alcatraz to take pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge while sitting under a tree the Presidio.

i'm male playing girl...
no reason exept that with all do respect i don't want to look at a guys behind all game long.

and beside girls do mmm.... jump around every now and then...

don't play on line games don't have the time\energy\money for it.

pens and paper RPG i play male (for the last 16 years or so) and usually the "Green type"
("look a candle in the middle of a dark room with a pentagram around it... lets light the candel!")

hope you won't take me as a sexicst or something but i really can't belive that girls play this game.
(other then goth or emo)

so girls... are you gothic or emo?

In words: Nope, definitely not. I just like to punch clichees in the face. I'm more the type of a nerdy, grammar-obsessed (roleplaying o,o) bookworm on surface, and I just can't get enough of the 'wtf'-looks when those people who only look at the surface get to know just how incomplete this picture is.
And I do like 'old' games. (Love my GameBoy Color xD) Not only do they run smoothly on my old PC, they're cheaper and often better patched than new ones. Just look at the community for VtMB - Wesp is still working on new patches, and we're already at no. 7...

Always male playing male the first time. I always roleplay my first walkthrough, so it's just natural to go with it. After that it's free game, though I usually stick to my gender. The Avatar thing isn't an issue in Bloodlines since I'm usually in 1st-person mode throughout the game.

My only problem with playing a male character in any game were gender is part of character creation, is simply that most of the male appearances are never very interesting. Most of them have short hair, if not having very little of it. And its always either short enough so little care is needed for it(not that you'd need to wash it in game), but then you'd never see it hanging over his face during a fight, either - no matter how much he might be sweating.

Not to mention, this:

I've seen videos of clothing and hair tests for the engine they will be using for the WODMMO (and EVE Online). The hair and clothes move very convincingly. I figure if they're going to that much trouble for clothes and hair, we should be able to customize the characters quite a bit. So maybe your character will be able to have long, flowing hair like Fabio, which gets in your eyes just enough to be sexy, but not enough to obscure your vision.
