    This one’s always puzzled me! Do most people not like to play characters who are radically different from themselves?

      Some do, some don’t. I play based on class benifits.

      If a game has 80% male shop keepers and charisma gives you better prices from venders of the opposite gender, damn right I am playing as a female.

      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)

        This is how I did things before I knew I would get euphoria from playing a woman. This is actually still how I do things, only now as a woman. My avatar has always been variations of myself.
