I’m a big, fat, hairy, cishet dude, and I always play as a woman when it’s an option. Female characters generally get more attention from the developers (for obvious reasons), so they usually have better designs and animations, resulting in an objectively higher-quality product. It’s also fun in multiplayer games because toxic dweebs hate it when they think they lost to a girl.
The same toxic dweebs might also go weird towards you sometimes, it’s definitely an experience getting to know why a lot of women carry pepper spray in public.
funnily enough that’s exactly (but opposite) what i told myself before i realised i was a trans man
“oh i play exclusively male characters because they have better armour models and the animations look more immersive, and i prefer to hear a dude talk/groan when i’m in dialogue or get hit. no other reason haha”
