Who said you can't immerse yourself when playing with the opposite gender?

As someone who played korean MMOs for most of his youth, women were the only choice as every male skin looked like he's wearing painted cardboard lmao.

For me the voice is what matters. Male Commander Shepard, Female V.
-
Female V has such an amazing voice oh my god. Not like every other voice actor in the game isn't an absolute genius, but man does she hits the mark all the time
-
Keanu Reeve's voice acting is pretty sub-par most of the time. And even in Phantom Liberty, especially in the beginning Female V (played by Cherami Leigh) sounded a bit off, as if she needed to find V's voice again after how much time was in between the main game and the DLC. But other than that I have to agree, top-notch work. Made in Poland ;)

I agree that voice is what matters, but I feel that femshep is way better than male shep. Agreed on V, though.

A lot of male characters in games kind of look like they’re compensating for something. I’ll play any character type though - like the variety.

Smaller hitbox ftw

Since the dawn of gaming I always picked the more aesthetic choice, which mostly is the female choice. Never cared about the "u play woman? U gay!" Idiots...
-
I never understood how me preferring to look at a female figure while playing a game was ever something to question...
-
Easy! drumroll It is still drumrolling Toxic Masculinity! Those that fear to become gay after a prostate-exam :-)

For me it's not even about gender identity or role playing. If I'm going to spend 200 hours in a 3rd person RPG looking at a character's ass, that ass had better be female.

My man! 🤝

Isn't skyrim FP though?
-
Skyrim can be played as either, though I personally do prefer 1st person in the case of Skyrim. I specifically said '3rd person RPG' because the point I was making wasn't limited to just Skyrim, and anything played 3rd person is obviously where it's important to my experience of, ah... the game. Yes, totally of the game.

Exactly! The fact I'm taking oestrogen and wearing pretty clothes is totally unrelated. Still cis BTW.
-
I notice your pronouns are she/her -- are you a cis woman then?
-
I'm trans - the "still cis btw" was a little jokey joke

I'm gay and I still play women characters in most games lol
-
Unrealistic. Lacks modded bazoongas bigger than character's head.
-
Listen to "lady of the dark" from Sabaton, you'll automatically create a woman character named Milunka whatever gender you are.
You'll be fully immersed and you'll feel Serbian even if you're from another country !

oh

Yeah that's an insane take
-
It's a psyop, don't take it seriously. Even now, rhetoric is being sowed across online platforms to fuel the non-existent culture war. Just a distraction from the billionaires actively overthrowing democracy using the global surveillance networks of Google, Meta, Amazon and X. Collect all the information if everyone in the world, create AI in order to be able to search and use that data against anyone who poses a threat. That's what it's all been about, don't get distracted by it.

🥚?

“Everyone that has ever even thought about roleplaying as a different gender is secretly closeted trans” is one of my least favorite takes of all time.
Gender is bullshit! Try shit! It’s a perfectly healthy and normal thing everyone should be comfortable with, don’t make it into a thing.
-
Yeah, this sort of shit has gotten under my skin since identity stuff started exploding into public discourse.
If gender is a construct, why the fuck are we still using traditionally masculine and feminine actions/interests to prescribe identity? What gives anyone the right to prescribe someone else's identity?
