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.
See, when I play these types of games, I always think about what I would do in real life during a given situation. If I had the powers of a protagonist, I’d be saving lives left and right, and looking cool to boot. So, I do that in game, since my power in the real world is so limited, and frankly, boring. Playing Mass Effect trilogy again right now. My Shep looks almost uncannily like me. So, the bonds that I form with the NPCs, the actions I take to save lives of any race, and the tough decisions that accompany them just mean so much more to me, seeing a character that looks like just like me doing them. The voice does sound weird in this particular game, but Shep’s voice actor is really good so I don’t pay it too much mind!
