If I play RPGs and have the choice of a character, I always pick male and customise him to look like me. Despite never seeing my character when I play in first person mode. It just seens natural to me.

But when I don't get the choice (mainly narrative driven games like adventures), I simply roll with it. It's a game after all, not a second life.

I just hit random, because nobody gets to choose their appearance, no even our characters.

I do random as well... My favorite character creation randomization has to be From Software's... You can get your character looking real weird very easily by just jamming on x when you hit the randomize option and choose it to be very different each time. They usually end up bright blue or red, with a face that looks like ground beef.

With character editors like that, I will do my best to make the weirdest looking creature possible which is always fun.
