I played ME and made a male Shepard from the word go and i dont know any1 who played the game Fem shep and i did not stare at my Male sheps ass.I had Ashley and then Miranda's perfect apple bottom to ogle at the whole time :P

Also any awkward feelings brought about by relating to the opposite sex can be avoided by having all the character's attempts being made entirely on themselves.

LoL shemale, how exactly does that work?

Simply, a transgendered man or a transgendered female. To be honest, I never saw something like that in any zombie universe.

Exactly i meant how would it work in a Zombie universe and especially interpreted by TTG in a game.In books/novels its easier to add complicated characters consisting different shades and layers to them, a game is just not the place to do it.Personally i wouldn't wanna play as a trans-gender male or female.

I was about to call you sexist but when I think about it, it would be pretty cool. I think especially if we get a whole new group of people.

If you go by your pretty little woman self and get lost in the woods and a gang of bandits show up... It would be a whole other situation than if it was big ole Lee wandering around scoping pointy fences.

Yeah, I figured that. I would prefer a female.

I have nothing against having a women being the main protagonist next season.

dustpuffs · 12/06/2012, 03:21 pm

I don't care if I play as a male or female. Hey, I'd play as a senile old dentist trying to fix the zombie's teeth! As long as the character is well written, I'm happy. Of course my poor old dentist will get chomped and die quickly....

Fabrimuch · 12/06/2012, 06:07 pm

Well, I think it would be nice, and Telltale certainly has the talent to create a female character that isn't a token sexuality object.

By the way, I played the Mass Effect trilogy twice, first with M!Shep and then with F!Shep

QuarterPounderVlad · 12/07/2012, 10:15 am

No. Not to be sexist or anything but Males are so much better as a protagonist than a female.

montesinos7 · 12/07/2012, 10:19 am

More men than women play this... therefore it is fair to allow the majority to get to choose--- and I think most want to play as men

Well as a male i'd prefer to play as a female character.

But I also think that Telltale should be the one to choose what character will fit best in the story they are going to tell next season.

Maybe you but most men want to play as a man. I don't want to be a girl, I would have to hook up with a guy!

In the end, I think the gender/ethnicity of the main character is something superficial. As long as they give us a character as compelling as Lee, I believe we should be alright

That's true but unfortunately there are still lots of people who can't realize that. I remember when EP1 came out and a lot of people made a big deal about the main character being black. Funny that he turns out to be a big badass, awesome, well written character I've ever seen for a protagonist. I really wouldn't mind playing a female lead and would prefer it over male, but if they went that route the uproar would be bigger than it was for playing a black guy.

This was ironic for me as well. As soon as the debut trailer was revealed for the game, I was like "I'm SO going to hate this group of survivors." Later, Lee's group turned out to be my favorite in TWD universe.

The comic has lesbian characters in it.

*TTG makes female protagonist*
*Game releases*
Forums:
omfg *name* is so hot!
will we see *name* naked*?
*name* has a nice butt
etc,etc,etc

UNLESS the female protagonist is either Christa or Clem. That would be great
I would prefer to play as Omid though.

I love Omid don't get me wrong, but Christa makes a better Protag than he does IMO. She wears the pants in that relationship :P

Can't we play Larry while he is naked, wielding a big war axe, and Clementime sitting on his shoudler.
