I’m not likely to buy this game, but I’m still more likely to buy it than willingly visit Florida (I’ll only go if I get sent to the concentration camp)

    This is the oldest excuse in the book. Just admit you want to be a girl this time. There’s no shame in it. Or any reason at all to say “hur hur I want look at lady, boys gross”

    Who even looks at the models? Enjoy the works around the character

      I play female characters without any desire to be a woman. I don’t identify with the characters I play just as a ventriloquist doesn’t identify with his puppet.

        Having met a number of ventriloquists, they often identify with their puppets an unhealthy amount.

      Sorry, but guy asses aren’t as pretty as girl asses. Im a bi girl though, so probably not representative of the population.

      I am legit one of the men who likes to play as a woman in games from time to time without any excuse. I have always been a maverick. I always like to go against the perceived norm and I enjoy doing something different. Playing as a woman for me is always spicing things up and a break from the usual man things, whatever that is.

      That said, FemShep is the only Shep!

        It really not even a fair fight, Jennifer Hale is one of the best VAs in the business. Mark Meer, whose name I had to look up, just doesn’t compare.

      I always play female if I can and you are right, for the longest time i wish I were a girl. Not so sure today but I wouldn’t mind clothing to be less restrictive. Women can wear all kind of nice clothes and men just… Jeans and a t-shirt it is.

          Since forever I have been wearing a blanket wrapped around as a sarong when I am at home. Friends never said much about it and girlfriend is supportive so there is that :)

        I agree with you on the clothing, but it isn’t a strict requirement. I’ve been wanting to get a kilt for the longest time, but I haven’t committed. I’ve never had issues with my gender as a man, but I do want more clothing options easily available and more socially acceptable.

      Tbh what is even the difference between wanting to look at the character and wanting to be the character. Just pick the character you want to play for whatever reason

      Lol. You seem to project your personal insecurities a lot here dude.

      If I’d want to be feeling like a woman I wouldn’t see that as something I would have to hide. Lol. Even less on an anonymous random internet thread.

      Weirdo!
