I’m not judging, I’m genuinely curious. The reason why I’m asking is because in this sort of games I like to make the character resemble me as much as possible in every aspect, so I’m just curious to know what is the motivation behind men that decide to play as a female character.

    I would like to know why so many people do what you do: create themselves. That is so… boring…? I have never had such an urge. But then, I barely care about my own appearance at all (gamer moment), so I guess that makes sense.

      I like to make a character that I think I would enjoy being. That doesn’t necessarily mean someone exactly like me, but also not exactly unlike me.

      You never had the idle fantasy of what you’d do during a zombie apocalypse or with superpowers? If not, dang thats rough. Some folks want to self-insert, I don’t blame 'em for having a power fantasy. Heck I’m on team human male knight myself.

        Of course I have. I guess I just think of playing games differently, where I want to help the story of someone else unfold, rather than self-insert.
