Generally I play as a male character, but sometimes choose female as well. I also usually pick mages or mage equivalents as my class because I find they usually offer the most varied gameplay, and also for the fancy particle effects from spells/powers. When it comes to morality, I'm always either neutral or some saint from heaven. I always feel bad when I do something evil like blowing up Megaton in Fallout.

Yeah, despite the fact it's just a game I really struggle to be the bad guy! I often do a renegade play through but I chicken out so much!

I'm playing through New Vegas again and I plan to be a real shit this time. I always make my character look like me though, I have no imagination.

I want to see how closely your art resembles your face! :bigsmile:

It's never even occurred to me to try and make my avatar look like myself, and I've only ever known one person so far who was really good at doing that.

I didn't say I was any good at it, both my Skyrim and Fallout characters just look like Zombies in blond wigs.

I used to try to make the character look like me but I always failed terribly, though I blame it on the lack of options.

I started playing it today but since I don't plan on playing through it a second time, I decided to create an evil character from the beginning. Not going to shoot everyone I see, but I'm going to try to be a selfish kind of guy, even if people see me as evil.

Male characters for me. Feel kinda strange going as a women. And my characters never look like me, they never seem to have my hairstyle 😛

All my FallOut characters are evil. Even the good ones. 😛

Problem is, I'm a theft-hound. I'll crack open every safe and steal every last cap/bullet in any container everywhere. Then I sell the ammo to a random wasteland vendor... and shoot him in the face to get it all back again.

<.<

What? I can't be the only one who does that.

If you're going to be a **** in New Vegas make sure you're male and join Caesar's legion lol

God I love that game. What I would give for fallout 4 🙁

Usually male. If I can I try to make them look like me too because I like me. L0l.

Black hair, Black goatee. Blue eyes. Usually what I go for when making a character. Also if it's like an online mmo I make it like a caster or a melee dps.

Is it different if you're a female?

I thought you couldn't join if you were a female courier, but maybe you can join but just can't participate in the arena? I can't remember now.

Don't care it is just for fun. I will admit my own but seriously it is an videogames.

I tend to make my characters the same gender as me (Female), but that's where the similarities end. I tend to make the characters attractive and blonde (sometimes looking quite Elvish) and usually they follow the good path (at least mostly). I tend to use a great sword as my main weapon wherever possible.

Whenever I want to do the evil path I tend to make the character male, but a pretty male. 🤭

Sometimes though if I am playing the sims and Im basing it on me, I try and make the character resemble me if I was thin. I dont think I've ever actually made me as I am in any game.

My very first play-through of New Vegas resulted in me slaughtering both the NCR and Legion.

The second one, though, I sided with the Legion, using a female courier... though I couldn't get through the final Dam segment because of crashing issues. 😛

I think it was fixed in the GOTY-edition... but I never re-attempted it. Might have to try that again after depopulating FarCry 4's jungles.
