[QUOTE="Ace Gunman, post: 3047271, member: 11874"] I won't go into too much detail here, but the poll is fundamentally flawed. There are some games, for example Final Fantasy X-2, where you have no choice but to play as a female character, even if you are male. For female gamers most games are male-oriented, so if you're a fan of Halo, you're playing as Master Chief, and so on. I personally don't play as the opposite gender unless I'm required to. Not because I dislike playing as a woman, but rather because I like to think of each character I'm playing as as an extension of myself. I try and get into the headspace of the character and plan my actions around their personality, but also my own. So for example in an MMORPG, I really want the character I'm playing as to be a, say, medieval slightly altered version of myself. I don't play them as if they are a games, something to accomplish, but rather as a temporary substitute reality. To me games are the truest form of escapism. A place where you can be the you you've always wanted to be but perhaps couldn't due to the restraints of reality. [/QUOTE]
