In T1 and T2 they played female characters because it's believed that they're harder to hit, partly to do with hit boxes but also psychological effects of trying to hit a smaller looking target if it, is infact, the same hit box. I already know a few male players who are going to play female characters for the same reason. I have never and will never do that, I think it's silly. And besides.. doesn't matter to me... My laser can hit them in T1 and T2 and my bolt driver will hit ya in PS... Flesh and blood... no ghosts there. As for RPGs, it is a well known fact that people play female characters to get free handouts and buffs.. I have buddies telling me stories where they would just sit there and stare at enchanters.. nothing else... and in less then 5 minutes, they'd be buffed. It's a combination of testosterone and desparity that runs through those sad souls.. I feel sorry for them. And I thank god I'm not one of them.

OMG, finally, another fan of the best movie in existance, Aliens, wooooooo
Btw, think most of the reason ppl played with female chars in tribes was because they believed their skiing speeds were slightly faster than that of the male model, wheras the males had more HP. Im not actually sure if this is true, but you tended to find that cappers were always female, and defenders male. I did believe it myself, seemed to make sence. |

I played in female armor in T2 because I thought (and still do think) that the hit boxes are smaller and I'm also a tad harder to see. Also, it's more embarrassing to get your butt kicked by a "girl"

In EQ that happened, but also, some people played females for non-homosexual reasons =p 1) Some male based modles littereally looked gay, thus playing a female = being less gay then lookign gay.... 2) Some people like the loko of female models, I made a female character on EQ(no, I'm not homosexual), simply because i thought a female beastlord(a class in the game), was more in like for the type of person i wanted to play, also had 20 male characters and wanted something different 3) Fashion 4) Smaller 'surface area' for getting hit by bullets--biggest key, People in tribes played female just for this, can cut 20-30% off your frontal surface area for getting hit All that said, i think people who play Female charcters and pretend to be female when they are not, are completely sick and need help.... but playing female characters is fine for most situations... depends on the enviroment, people in tribes don't care... while people in EverQuest flagged such people as mentally disturbed |

This works too ways... Psychologically, if you aim at a smaller target, you're able to hit near the center more easily then a larger target.. this is assuming a non-mobile target.... Larger targets, your eyes are a bit more lazy(subconsiously), and you're more leanent trying to hit the larger target, so actually, you are less likely to hit the larget target..... those both assume the target isnt moving, stuff i learned from my experience on a rifle team... now moving targets, i think larger targets are easier, while you're eyes are a bit more lazy, yuo dont have time to refocus for smaller targets, so the larget hitbox probably helps.... just my 2cp |
