I pick whatever sex fits the character's class the best.
Archers, mages, healers, and rogues are female.
Warriors, paladins, and barbarians are male.
End of story.
Except elves since there are no male elves so I pick the ones with boobs.

>>716315803 (OP)
What about warlocks, wizards / witches, magi and necromancers?

>>716316024
Those are mages.
Female.

Lmao, pornbrain.

>>716316138
That's not an elf. That's a human with pointy ears.

>>716316186
That's the least non-criticism there ever could
Play a female dwarf in your next fantasy game.

>>716315803 (OP)
I am so against playing as a female character I won't even use female characters in fighting games. There is no class which best fits females, anon. Anything women can do, men do better.

>>716315803 (OP)
kill yourself faggot
the only woman class is serving wench

>>716316137
Nonsense. Poring over books and studying in complete solitude is an incredibly masculine trait.

>>716315803 (OP)
Mages need to be grown men with long beards.

>>716315803 (OP)
>why yes, I do want to listen to men flirting with the character I'm controlling.
ghey

>>716316495
I am not the character, so why should that matter?

>>716316431
>>716316361
99.9999% of game's character creators do not provide an adequate length beard.
For that 0.0001%: I agree.

>>716315803 (OP)
>Archers, mages, healers, and rogues
But men are better at all of those things.

>>716316412
>being the medieval equivalent of a coastal elite going to uni for a liberal arts degree in advanced cuckoldry is masculine, actually!
Trump won.

>>716317430
Okay, but they're still feminine roles, and women fit them better.

Then you’re a fag for picking mage

>>716317430
Women are better multitaskers with cardiovascular systems far better suited for high G aerial maneuvering yet men still get their DEI quota filled in the airforce. Deal with it sweaty.

>>716317628
But I like the subversion of a small frame with a massive weapon

>>716316647
They don't have properly long beards, but they do at least have various types of full beards. The wizend old wizard wasn't always so, he wasn't born with the beard on his face. No excuses. Imagine wanting to play a master of magic class and the first thing that pops in your mind is a woman, embarrassing. Female casters are witches or healers.

>>716317856
If the beard isn't at least a foot long, then female is the only option.
End of discussion.

>>716315803 (OP)
Female barbarians with the old sword and sorcery style chain mail bikini are pretty great too

>>716316345
TRVKE.

Consider if you will, a big strong Amazon of a woman whom you can add to your party.
Would you?

>>716319438
NPCs are fine as whatever.
I'm talking about the PC, anon.

>>716319646
Fair enough. What class do you prefer playing, if you can?

>>716319771
Whatever seems to fit the game's theme or is implemented the coolest.
Example: I play a mage in Dragon's Dogma because the magic is so well put together in that one.

Correct, the character on the screen is not you. But a normal functioning human being needs something to empathize and connect with, which is why, when given a choice, women gravitate towards female characters and men gravitate towards male characters. It's why boys play with action figures and girls play with dolls; it's why boys dress like super heroes and girls as princesses. Even if you want to disregard basic evolutionary psychology, the character you choose is your representation in the game world. It's how you want others to perceive you.

And if you're still not convinced, remember that your average normie never needs, wants or even thinks to justify their selection to others. It's instinctive. The only people who seem to aggressively try to justify their choice are people (I ache to call them men) who play as the opposite sex.

Tl;dr: if you're a guy playing as a girl, you're most likely a tranny in denial.

>>716319889
You should try out all the Hybrid classes. They're all great and fairly unique

>>716319976
truke

>>716319976
Objectively incorrect considering no one here is a normie, as evident by the fact that they are here.

>>716319976
What if I play in first person so that I don't see myself?

>>716320208
No ifs.

>>716315803 (OP)
>rogues are female
fuck you too buddy

>>716320654
I don't fuck men, sorry.

>>716316345
Women do the delicate, cute, caring and fashion tropes better.
They also look better dancing.

>>716320309
I miss fax machines.

>>716315803 (OP)
same, but its
rogues and archers are female
warriors and paladins are male
healers and mages are femboys
barbarians are futa with balls

>>716316345
Women do healing well, because the more women are doing healing the less men have to be doing it, and all the childless women out there have to do something useful with their lives.

They also do mages well, because they can wear sexy outfits and distract people with their hot bods without it being a downside. Also, women are crazy and being a crazy mage(witch) suits women well.

I will also accept rogues, but only if they wear bodygloves and fight in acrobatic styles that show off their bodies.

>>716319976
This is why representation is so important. We need to see ourselves in the characters.

>>716315803 (OP)
i always play as female characters, and don't play games that don't have female playable characters / have a fixed male protagonist

>>716315803 (OP)
This but opposite in every way

>>716315803 (OP)
Archery is only for men who are stronk as shit.

>>716320917

I like to look at an attractive woman, shrimple as is

>>716315803 (OP)
>healers are female
healchad is an infinitely better archetype than healslut

>>716315803 (OP)
yes it is
ywnbaw

Simps are all faggots and many of them are also troons.

>>716320917
Yeah enjoy playing as something "delicate, cute and caring" you faggot.

>>716324753
I demand he bend Mercy over.

I will never understand simp losers. Imagine your mind being under complete control of anything that even resembles a woman. What a sad and pathetic way to live your life.

>>716316345
TRVKE.

>>716315803 (OP)

>>716315803 (OP)
>Archers
Are one of the most strength reliant classes and roles in battle, why would you perceive women as being better at this?
>Mages
Are defined by their intelligence and objective reasoning capacity, this one is the most egregious of all.
>Healers
Every great doctor, priest, and inventor of medicines has been male.
>Rogues
Every great thief, pirate, duelist, swashbuckler, and con artist in history has been male.

Foids are lame and not cool and only people who are also lame and not cool worship them.

>the dick I was born with is not mine

>>716319976
>"you are either a low IQ normalfaggot or a troon"
guess we know which one you are

>>716315803 (OP)
>Archers
Drawing a bow requires mode physical strength than wielding a normal sized melee weapon. In addition to that, a sniper is effectively a hunter who hunts other humans, including those in identical roles. Even most males lack abilities to be successful at that. Female snipers are one of the most clowned up propaganda myths

>mages
Shouldn't study of magic imply autistic dedication to knowledge and aptitude for highly abstract thinking?

>healers
That depends on a type of healer. If it's some priest that does a ritual and a deity makes a thing happen maybe, but if it's about personal magic skills, how many female surgeons specializing in life saving areas you know?

>rogues
Only in a sense of someone who doesn't touch weapons and combat at all and uses deception and social skills to do shit. However considering "rogue" generally implies a fucking commando who kills people with a lightweight weapon kit, it's probably even more of a common sense violation, than female snipers.

>according to armchair psychologists (virgins) on 4chan, I want to be a manlet schoolshooter for playing male dwarf gunner classes

In any game with a character creator and in which the player's choices affect the story's outcome, the player is effectively a powerful god and the character is their avatar.
The only gods that would pick an avatar without even a passing resemblance to them are faggot trickster gods like Loki, who just wanted an excuse to get railed by a horse.

I pick whatever sex turns me on the most

>>716315803 (OP)
>Archers
Archery requires strength, which men have and women don't.
>mages
Nigga has never heard of a wizard.
>healers
Most of the time healers are clerics, and women are banned from joining the clergy.
>rogues
Only one that makes sense since women prefer pussy methods of killing like poison.

>>716325721
You're on /v/
Stop trying to larp as masculine dude.

>>716329771
nun healers are the best

>>716315803 (OP)
>>716319976
I pick whatever I think is going to be a fun experience for me at the time and throughout the play-through. I'm a writer so I've already written shit from the perspective of men, women, and a host of other categories. Does writing about woman make you gay or trans or a porn brain? Not by itself, no, and I can empathize with someone whose different from me. I dunno I feel by your logic your trans if you like Silence of the Lambs or Alien/Aliens. Am I trans for playing Bayonetta or Alien Isolation or Silent Hill 3? Am I trans for reading Pride And Prejudice or The Scarlet Letter or Anna Karenina? Are the thousands of women obsessed with Harry Potter trans because the main character is a man? Perhaps it's easier for most people to empathize with a character similar to them, but it's quite easy for most people to empathize a character different from them.

Also, your logic justifies race swaps and gender swaps 100% as that's the logic behind most of them: To give marginalized groups entertainment to empathize with. So perhaps you should just play Red Dead Redemption and watch John Wayne movies and not play Spiderman 2 or Spiderverse movies and also being unable to watch or play any movie or game that has a prominent female character it in as if you empathize with said character, you are trans. In fact, if you empathize any female irl such as your sister and mom, that makes you trans.

Plus, many men wish to see things from a female perspective to better understand them. Fictional stories have the amazing quality of letting you understand the perspective of people who are not only different than you, but completely different than you. RPGs are intense stories (such as the Dragon Age games or Mass Effect) and I think you can play these games to understand different perspectives. Also, just because you play as some thing doesn't me you want to be that thing. I love the Metro, Soulsborne, Fallout games but I don't wanna live in them, hell no.

Based but prepare to get called a fag or trans
