Who even plays the male when there’s an option?

Except this image implies male V, who plays male V?Female voice acting is so much better, jackie seems more heart-of-gold when he's straight with a platonic femme best friend and the johnny silverhand angle is much more emotionally resonant.

I played male V on my second playthrough when the DLC came out, and regretted it immensely. Finally got to romance Panam though.

I mean if a game is really good and i'm on my fifth+ playthrough and i have a really solid concept for a male character, maybe. And i did eventually play a male bodied female voiced V for the panam romance.

Does she have lines in the Panam romance path?
Hegar@fedia.io 2 days ago
You'd think right? But femV has panam romance dialogue in the game that's just locked off unless you're male-bodied. I believe vice-versa is true for judy romance.

I played both? Why play with only half the content

Played as both, prefer the guy. Somehow feels more relaxed to me

That tracks for me - the female VA gives a lot more emotion, there are some scenes that legit stress me out. Two violent guys vieing for control feela less tense than a guy slowly taking over a woman's mind.

Me. I don’t think I’ve ever played as a chick if there’s an option in any game.
Specifically for 2077, I was playing as ‘me’ if timeframes were different. Also I played through the entire game as a naked (open jacket, tennis shoes) ‘me’. And you better fucking believe I was a thick uncut ‘me’. A better ‘me’. A ‘me’ which a thick heavy cock on display and carrying around an old-school minigun and sniper as my mains. Because it’s what I would have wanted.

In hs one of my friends said he always picks girls in third person games because hed rather stare at a girls ass than mans all day, and I’ve used girl avatars more often. Just can’t in games where I want to selfinsert and be immersed since it pulls me out of it. If I can’t make my character brown I just go with a girl.

I always play them because I think of them as hard mode. Back in the days of some of the old fighter games the female characters usually got focused on the least meaning that their combos were usually worse or harder to implement. Always fun to pick the “bad characters” and clown on your homies.

Nah you fucked up my first play through is always female. It’s a video not a biography

I used to play about equal m/f characters but i've gotten increasingly bored with male characters.
I never play as me though, i'm always constructing a headcanon, backstory and playing very writerly.
Over the last 10+ years or so i've just found boy stories more and more boring. I think the last game i seriously enjoyed as male was ME2, coincidentally with a keanu looking sniper type.

IMO, all the dick options in Cyberpunk were on the smaller side.
If that’s bigger and better than yours … well, that kind of says a lot, lol.

I thought the large was alright. I’ve had bigger irl but I’m right in the center of average. And cut so I hate how it looks…
