A polarizing question. Me, I always play a version of myself. More muscular, perhaps, or more adventurous. But still a middle-aged dude who is trying to do good. I never feel the urge to play a woman or a villain or anything else totally different from my IRL character.

And I guess that's just how it is, right? We each make our own fun in the games we play.

So the dude in the xitter post is just going to have to sit this one out. I'm sure there will be lots of male centric stories to play in the future, as there always have been.

Meanwhile, I hope everyone who likes playing from a female POV has an absolute blast with The Witcher 4.

I usually play a female. I've always considered my character as a companion, a waifu, if you will.

You play as a female character and see her as your companion.

I play female characters because I like to control women.

We are not the same. /s
