Embrosil Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hello, after I got my smuggler to lvl 50, I am thinking of trying the other side and roll an imperial agent. And to make it even different, I would like to roll a female one. I know there are no same sex romances, so I will just skip flirting. But would not there be a problem with other players? Like treating me like a woman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khryn Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'd think you'd probably get flirted with by a lot of lonely nerds, but no one is gonna /spit on you unless they REALLY have issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buur Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 But would not there be a problem with other players? Like treating me like a woman? There is no cooking skill so I think you are safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambunctious Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 LOL, everyone assumes you are a guy in a mmo. I would never let a stranger know any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embrosil Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Thanks for all answers. Will try and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiroLM Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I have a male Marauder and a female Bounty Hunter. The Bounty Hunter has never had a problem joining a group. Coincidence, sure. But it is nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qoojo Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 New mmo players will think it's a female playing the char. The veteran mmo player knows that there is a 90% chance that it's a guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesperascit Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Play whatever you want. Don't worry about what other people might think, their opinions don't matter as long as you are having fun. I have male and female characters. I rolled a male jedi knight because David Hayter is the VA and I have a Female Trooper because if I'm gonna be a trooper you can bet your *** I'm gonna be listening to Jennifer Hale voice it =D.

coldcite Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Heh... welcome to MMOs! And yeah, in my eyes everyone is a guy by default, until proven otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob-ombaFett Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'm a little bit taken aback that you need to find approval to do whatever the hell you want in your life. Grow some balls and do what feels best to you. Stop looking for approval of others and trust yourself. It'll make your life a whole lot better.

Gwena Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) I don't think it'll be a problem, I think people will assume you are male by default. I play a girly looking/named female Smuggler, and people still call me things like bro or dude. xD Nothing wrong with playing a character of the opposite gender. ^^ Edited January 8, 2012 by Gwena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyACT Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 sigh - we get this discussion on every MMO board every 2-3 months. It's a game, I play Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, female toon butts are nice to look at, yadda yadda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traftonten Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 well bioware spent alot of time and money so you could experience the story from multiple perspectives...one such change in perspective being male vs female. I doubt they threw the male/female option in as some kind of creep test. Get your money's worth play how you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyACT Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 the worst you will get is free stuff heh - indeed - happened to me with my first female toon in EQ. Was given a major cash donation by a subsequently rather disappointed fellow male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like treating me like a woman? I've had special treatment cause people "decided" what gender I was. lol It is however up to you what you want to do with this female character.

Proto Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) DEAR OP, LISTEN UP. The last thing you should feel bad about is rolling a female toon. THINK ABOUT IT..... YOU spend 50 levels staring at the backside of your character. WHICH DO YOU THINK IS MORE OF A PROBLEM? If you ask me, all dudes should roll female toons for that very reason.
