groovekittie: CandyBar doll version of me (Default)

Hey there. I'm on my second play through on Mass Effect. My Sheppard is a female, which I suppose is to be expected. If at all possible, I play my characters as women. I was wondering, do those of you who play ME play as male for another perspective, like some men will play through as a woman. Or do you simply play through as women? If so, why?

Personally, I think I'll always play ME as a female. I mean, most games don't offer the option to change the sex of the main character. Thing is with ME, it feels awesome being the hero as a woman. The one person who changes the fate of the galaxy. I kinda love it.

I love ME, and will probably play through a bunch more times. Thanks to the multitude of starter options, I can't imagine this game would ever get boring.

In Dragon Age and Mass Effect games I always play as male once just to see the differences (especially romancing the straight female LIs) but all my other playthroughs are female, and it's my female Shepards I'm most attached to. I've played most of the games at least 3 times so the female PCs definitely predominate.

And yeah, playing as a female hero is great. I specifically love being able to play as a bisexual woman, not something many games let you do! I like being able to play as a POC too, though the appearance options could definitely be more varied.

Dragon Age is a lot of fun. I played it through as a mage; I'm thinking of going back and playing a rogue this next time. Pretty sure that's an option.

The Dragon Age games are lots of fun!

An annoying thing about Dragon Age:Origins is that quite a few origins have family members who are always white regardless of what your PC looks like. Dragon Age 2 fixes this, adapting their colouring and appearance based on your character design choices, it's pretty cool. (Plus of course there's mods, but that's not the same)

It's ... interesting, seeing how different games handle POC. I know PlayStation Home is slightly annoying in that you can change skin colour but there don't seem to be preset options for different facial types.

Blah, yeah, there is more to diversity than skin colour!
