I made my loremaster male in lord of the rings online because I wanted to be like Gandalf (me and everyone else 
) and I was ok with it.
But coming back to it after not playing for a long time, and being female everywhere else, I felt like I was bumping into everything. I felt like wide putin.

The worst thing about this argument (and holy fuck have we rehashed this a million times)Guy I used to play EQ with made a human female monk. Said he would rather look at her ass running than a guy's.
Yeah its gay to roleplay a female character in a RPG, but thats been going on so long its practically a tradition by now.
its much, much gayer to play a first person game in third person.

I have it on good authority that you play tranny characters in a game you’re playing. Where does that fit in?

do you find that you have to do this less with modern games making their lead characters ugly as fuck?

Some people see their character as an extension of themselves while others see the character like a pet, something they raise.

I don't think I've spent more than 30 seconds combined across my entire gaming lifetime in a character creator screen. However long it takes me to find the "next" button. It is first on my list of things that don't matter, second would be any sort of "home decorating" feature.

I'll play whatever. Used to be whatever gender got the best bonus in the game. That's no longer a thing in almost all games. Even D&D let's half orcs be wizards now and shit. Gender is a thing of the past, did you not know or did you just assume?
I play BG3 a lot, when I start a new run I pick one and do random X times. If it doesn't do anything for me I change geners and do random for the same X times. Real complicated, it's normall something like 3-4. I've learned from what I've seen posted online lot of people must spend a LOT of time getting ugly ass characters cause a quick random is not even close.

Is this why people played Erudite wizards in EQ? I couldn't stand the way they looked and played a High Elf.

I don't remember why. I played a ranger and yes kept at all even when they sucked. I pulled, tracked, and even tanked on occasion. I don't remember I was either an wood elf or half elf or something, male.
My second character someone game me was a shaman and I think a female, only a bot to buff and slow shit. It really didn't matter.
