| Male, I play as Male for the following reasons:
1) Beards.
2) I'm male in real life, and I don't feel immersed in a game when I have breasts.
3) Can relate to the character a lot easier if my character is male, feel as if I can project myself onto said character in a way.
4) If a male NPC hits on you (because your character is female), I feel very awkward... _________________ . "Throw me to the wolves, and I will return leading the pack."

| Male because I find it easier to make a badass character, at least in my eyes. |

| Well the gender decision is usually the last one I make so first I come up with the build and then I decide if it fits better to a male or female character. Most of the times I choose the male because of previously mentioned immersion reasons but from time to time I choose female. Right now I am playing as a female, rifle girl sort of similar to Sunny Smiles. |

| Always have played a male in games. I couldn't really connect with the Character if I played a female. I also hate it in games when you create a character and you already have a name. I feel like he isn't my character because he doesn't have the same name as me. I'm funny like that. lol |

| i have tried to play as a female in both fallout and elder scrolls games but felt like it wasn't right because most games portray girls as weak or cowards(something along these lines). _________________ - to those who know:

| Because I'm such a fan of character customization, I enjoy making many different characters both male and female. _________________  |

Right because games like Mass Effect 1-3, the entire Metroid series, Bloodrayne 1&2, Tomb Raider, Halo, Alien Isolation, every Resident Evil, the Dragon Age trilogy, Mirror's Edge, Remember Me, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, Bulletstorm, Mercenaries, and literally a 100+ other games I could name off the top of my head totally portray women as weak and cowardly. Clearly. |

Let's also not forget that the MC is not portrayed as anything, It's up to the player. Anywhoo! I like to switch it up, Setup a good long mod list and play as one gender(which I usually go for male first as well take a guess as to what I am), then when I get bored just start a new mod setup and go for the other gender. Rinse and repeat for years of play! |

Agreed. I don't even remember the last time that I saw a female character portrayed as a weakling or a coward. I think there is plenty of badassness for girls in TES (Aela, Lydia, etc.) and in New Vegas we have the one and only Sunny Smiles. Plus it's your character so you can do whatever you want with it. I remember playing badass bald dark elf female. She didn't seem weak to me. |

| I think on my 1st playthrough of Fallout 4 I'll make a female character. Since she'll be voiced by Courtenay Taylor I'm going to make her look like Jack from Mass Effect, or at least as close as I can get with the creation system. If not, I'm sure there will be mods to do so not long after the game's release. _________________ |

| Personally I always play as a guy, because I'm a guy I like to image how it would be like for me to walk in the fallout universe. |

| Both. I usually start male and play female after to see what the differences between some speech options and more are. Unfortunately the changes aren't really big. Hoping Fallout 4 improves on that end.

| Yeah, I'm always a guy. Mostly due to the fact that I am one in real life. _________________  |

| I normally play as a guy, and base them off of video game or movie characters I like. For example, I plan on playing as Gillian Seed when Fallout 4 comes out. |

| Usually its a male character, whenever I try to play a female character I usually stop because I cant pretend to a gender that I am not. |
