      I always played and play beast races if games have them any humanoid race feels rather alien to me and among them women less alien and men sre the most alien.

      I really don’t think so. (Perhaps depends on how one thinks of “radically different”) I think the vast majority of roleplay characters could be described as “Me if I were $X” (A pirate/Evil/noble/etc)

        That’s called meta-roleplaying, honestly not a fan of it. It really limits and ruins the experience, both in video games and TTRPGs. The goal of fantasy is to do things you can’t do, to be someone who isn’t you.

        It’s a bad practice that I was told when learning TTRPGs that I should work on breaking it. You can get much more out of the game if you do. Like why limit yourself to a certain race or class just because you think it’s what you’d be if you were in the game, that’s not you in the game, it’s someone else, whoever you want it to be in fact, don’t squander that opportunity.

    Female models have a smaller hit box… obviously… I know this is Dragon Age! Go away!

      Most of the games I play there are no stat differences between genders - Minecraft is unique among them in having two shapes to choose from with different hitboxes, but Minecraft has no gender except what the players bring in

      So no bonus or penalty for choosing one way or other

      BG3 though, as a game with a dress up component, took so long to get a dress, everyone seems to wear trousers and shirt
