Do you tend to have a preference for whether you choose a male or female character in a game?
Assuming that game has equal options for both sexes, of course. Though, actually, if you want to get into a form vs. function debate in regards to sex-locked character options, I'm all for it. After all, it's not uncommon to have various things locked behind your choice.
For instance, even disregarding the hooplah behind it, I was quite miffed that I had to pick a guy to go for any of the romance choices I wanted in Fire Emblem Fates (or Persona 3 Portable, for that matter). And I didn't, because I had a specific vision for the character I wanted in mind and I planned to achieve it, so I made her and pretty much left any shipping to headcanon, which I suppose sounds a bit strange, but so does the decision to change headpats into implied sexual relations or what have you.
Thoughts? Preferences?
