#62059, "Is it just me, or do female PCs really outnumber males?"


          

I guess, there's the gear incentive...
Can we have some more male_only gear? Spiked Codpiece, anyone?

I'd be interested in how the pks distribute by gender.

Wouldn't be surprised if newbies play their own gender and a number of vets skew female.

There's a slight gear incentive but the big incentive is not getting locked up in a certai. Area.

It's basically power gamey and I do it myself.

Offsetting that is the fact that bards get an edge that helps against the opposite sex.

That is just my opinion. I realize that it's restricted to present a challenge to a specific level range. But part of the beauty of CF is ranking past challenging parts to explore with (more) relative safety.

It's fine and much easier to explore as a higher level, you just can't do the 3 quests.

I would think in general males are always over 50% of chars, at least at creation. Damn grapes have changed at least 3 of my chars.
Plus there is an area that it's easier to be female in, which is probably the main reason to go female.

There are a few woman only pieces, but it's not enough to be significant or to roll a char for since the decent ones are limited. You can generally find better things across the board anyway.

Bards have a gender related edge, I'm not sure if any other class really cares about gender much though, so for that it doesn't matter much.

Theran men can't cross dress, that's the problem here.
Why can't a dwarf berserker rock a skirt, blouse and heels just because he is a male. Not like anyone can tell dwarf men and women apart anyway.

Usually I do play female chars if I need goto hp regear. Shifters and other mages mostly.

I've never found an issue with a greater female to male ratio during my life. I suppose however that some people may dislike that type of thing - which is fine!

Happy new year!
