I have a male gaming buddy whose account is named like tim2299. He names his characters Tim, they're always male and if possible, the toon's facial features resemble his real-life looks.

I don't get it.

Yeah why would someone want to roleplay in an RPG

And it's not the competent, powerful and attractive part that breaks your immersion?

Or he is just pissed that he won't be having women in game to romance.

Oh Ciri will definitely have women to romance.

I don't mind playing a male but always prefer female. Started with Unreal 99 and smaller female hitboxes then continued in mass effect (if I can choose to watch a spandex gluteus Maximus for 30 Hours, I chose female).... and now it's a habit of playing female and chaotic neutral for first playthroughs.

It's not gay to stare at a male ass while playing games 3rd person perspective?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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.

There are two versions! One of them is this one, which you can play if you're cool or even mildly tolerant. The other one is fucking right off and crying inside your own asshole
