I almost always choose a male character I only choose a female character to change it up a little.

Female only, since the interaction with people are interesting...
Besides, there's too many games with male protagonist, when given the chance, why not use female instead?

I've found a lot of interesting armor mods that don't work at all for females or just look downright odd. (Mercenary armors come to mind as a reference) So I've found myself playing more and more male characters. But my females are almost always themed for a challenge.

Male. I just like to carry ass guns. Doesn't look right in a female character. Plus the Fallout models without mods are trash. Skyrim I could do it.

All of these are both validate and good reasons. I personally play with a male character. The simple reason is because I like to imagine myself in the role so I try to make the character how I would want to look in the game.

Male and will always be male. 1 reason, im a guy of course. 2 the armor mods is mostly on male. 3 armors are better on males.

When there's the option I almost always play a female, I've tried to think of rational reasons but I guess I just like em better and whenever I try to think up characters the females just seem more interesting. Now I don't ALWAYS play a girl, like if there's different options or gameplay for males or a favorite class that is only male or something I'll play a male or both. I'll also play males if I have a particular idea for a character but they're almost never the default -Insert Male Protagonist Here-, they're always weird or quirky or at least entertaining to play, like Old Man Henderson types or something like that

I usually prefer male, just to better get the role. But sometimes, if female character has interesting roleplaying options, I choose her.

Well, i mostly use Female Characters in-game despite i am a Guy, simply because the fun of it...sometimes gameplay get interesting...as wlell as Females models in-game are Always better thasn male ones, same for armor.

I ususaly play as a male in RPG's as i uaually just play a version of my self.

depends if its a serious playthrough or if its filth...ha ha ... mostly male

In games where you can choose genders, I tend to go with male. Not that I'm sexist or something but It's just hard for me to roleplay females. Women are strange, strange creatures. For me at least

I play as a Male (Which Is What I Am In Real Life) I'm not a huge fan of dressing a fallout character up in random stripper wear to see her naked or almost naked, they are just pixels at the end of the day. and i know some people do that but Im fine with that you may all have your wishes and beliefs.

But overall I like playing as a man, it's what I am in real life and if I get a choice in what I want to be i'll choose a man.

I always play as a male, mainly because I try to create myself as much as I can.

I've never chosen to play as femnale EVER in any bethesda game.

Probably should try playing as female but yea I usually play as male - Double Alpha

Male, not only that but I always make my characters look like myself.

What can I say? I love myself, that guy's the best, most handsome and he's never going to leave me...  jk, well, not that it isn't true

On a more serious note, it makes it possible to have an insider's view on the game and immerse yourself into the story. With a female it would be an outsider's view, no matter how good that view is, it's still from the outside. You know?

In Fallout i aways play with a male.In Skyrim a female Orc.

Because of new models, I was forced to leave game. 

You do know the new models can be disabled, right? Anyway, on topic, I mostly play as a male since I am male and prefer to play as my own gender. I had a female human in WoW but I got bored of RPing with her and don't play on her anymore. I also am doing another playthrough of the Mass Effect games as FemShep this time. I think Jennifer Hale is a better VA than Mark Meer (only thing I think he did better was the big stupid jellyfish line.) and more than two male romance options. (And it's actually only Cortez for me since I find Kaidan really boring.)

Male, I always choose male and design my character after myself.. I guess I just like immersion.. when I play a game like Fallout I want to sink myself into it and feel like I am a part of it.. thus why I always use the "Four eyes" perk and wear eye glasses (since I wear glasses in real life) !! just like to feel the realism..

I play as both genders! I made my female character to be an anti-hero, and I made my male character to be a public menace.
