    Female character.

    People are infinitely more forgiving of female characters, they get parties easier, people give you stuff, etc.; all the perks of being female IRL with none of the drawbacks like being moody and illogical.

    I guess it depends what kind of girl you are. I'm female IRL and in game and I don't take anything for free from anyone. I don't need, or want, handouts. I can get my own stuff tyvm.

    what are you going to choose,
    a female
    or
    a male
    character?

    also add are you female or a male in real life....

    ---
    i think i'm going to play as a male character in game, because i'm male in real life too.

    Bit hard to stay female or male, cause barbs is males only and venom is females only.... ect..

    And since its a game and not a date contest :eek: you shouldnt care if its a female playing male or male playing females.

    ;)

    I'm a guy playing a girl and i do this in most games that give me the option the reasons are twofold:-

    1:- Girls are hotter than guys
    2:- When i first started playing a girl in Fallout I lasted far longer than my previous male character, so ive stuck with them

    I am a male irl and plan on always having male characters. I prefer to have my characters be a representation of my personality.

    the only female char i have is veno, because unfortunately they are the only class that can have pets(i'm not talking about useless puppies, bunnies, ect.). I think all classes should be able to have battles pets just you can only have 1 at a time unless you are veno or maybe be limited to certain types or small to medium. i'm not into the veno class I just want a wolf to follow me around & attack.

    I will choose female, cause female's the only option you have if you wanna start as a venomancer(werefox) and she is my favorite character in PW. I'm not going to discuss why there are no male venomancers or female barbarians, there was so much of a fuss at the PW MY-EN forums about this.
    And(No1) I'm a male.
    And(No2) I'm new(at least at PWI :P).

    It has something to do with the Chinese myth. And the myth didnt come from nowhere, and it makes sense. Let me explain.

    Untamed are magical beasts. Since they are beasts, in most cases, male beasts are physically powerful, cruel (hey, they even kill their own babies in some cases, no way they want a pet), and they are loners. (think about male tigers, lions, alpha wolves.. etc)

    While females are physically inferior to their male counterparts, and do not solely rely on phy power to survive(guess that means they are going to use tricks like us fox ladies do:D ). They usually stay together, and with their children nearby and they love babies. Ever heard of a wolf mother adopts a tiger cub? a pet huh...

    However, it cannot have the other way round. Having a mother protecting a family and a father babysitting just doesnt happen in animal kingdoms(at least for mammals).

    I'm a male IRL, so I'll play male characters. I did create a Veno (which is of course female) but I haven't really played her much yet. It was tough not making a female archer though (for the sheer up-skirt factor), but I eventually overcame it and made a male archer based on a character in Legend of Dragoon. :D

    Being new to PW I never heard of this reasoning... I am female and wanted a female barb, but settled for a bladeM (which I hate, btw). And I have a veno cause I prefer pet classes... I usually am the closest equiv to a female necro in most games I play.

    Knowing that there was real thought behind the gender untamed stuff makes it make sense to me, and I enjoy that. Of course I tend to RP these type of games, so story maybe is more important to me than it MAY be to others.

    Maybe I want to embrace another female? So what if it would look silly, this game has tons of silly things in it already. What would be so wrong in it having both gender embracing? It's sexist I tell ya!

    There's already people on PW MY-EN begging for same-sex marriage, which they won't do, they're keeping marriage between a "man and a woman", however, PWI could probably rake in a little extra "marriage money" from the **** crowd if they allow same sex marriage and same sex embracing, they could get that niche market that will Pay Big Money. They could call it PWG.

    Involving same sex marriage in PW gonna bring lots of arguements and even cause possible hates between people, especially real same sex marriage hasnt legalized in China yet. Some new players will join, some others will leave. I guess the game company just wants to stay out of the trouble..

    But, I'm all for same sex embracing. Men carrying men, women carrying women, doesnt make them **** and its kinda cool;)

    Other countries, other folklores, other values.

    BTW, how many american games allow for same gender interraction like cuddle?

    Those folkloric mythical creatures also have opposite sexes, as far as the mythos go; they just weren't popularized as much as the others (FYI female werefoxes are very rarely, if ever the "good guys" in those stories. Quite the contrary :eek:). I do have to agree on the values issue, tho. They are old fashioned in regards to that, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing either, as long as one upholds values without confusing them with tradition, which aren't the same thing at may be at odds with each other at times.

    As far as same gender interactions go, I wouldn't mind watching some girl-on-girl lol. Take the boy-on-boy behind a building or something tho... unless it's to carry a fallen comrade to a healer, as allowed in RoE :P

    BTW, I am male, but I like the eyecandy, so I'm playing a female char. :P

    Never said I was androgynous. I said I was neither. Big difference. I just believe in sexual equality. When it comes down to it, we're all pretty much the same jumbled mass of genes at our core.

    Of course, once I instigate Ragnarok, that'll change...

    To be androgynous means to have no clear sexuality, ambiguous. To be both is hermaphroditic, derived from Hermes and Aphrodite, the male and female aspects respectively. The term androgynous is also used to describe hermaphrodites, but that's because being both also gives no specific sexuality, but only androgyny can be used to describe an absence of gender or sexuality.

    And to be neither is to have some weird... third option... that involves laying eggs in people's spines with a barbed protrusion. Then flying away into the night to nest on billboards, looking for food and/or victims.

    What were we talking about again?
