I usually feel so immersed when playing white haired super-ripped giants with magic powers. It’s as if they were a second me, except for the hair, size, muscles, facial traits, strength and magic powers.

I dunno, man.

Playing as a guy forces you to constantly stare at a dude the entire time. That’s seems pretty gay. 💅

You joke but when I was playing AC odyssey, I did switch to a girl after an hour because I was tired of looking up a dudes skirt whenever I went swimming.

This is a weirder thing than guys who always choose the female option because they “don’t wanna look at a man’s ass”

I used to say this. Later I realized that I just was more comfortable going through the game as a woman lol

My response has always been and will always be: “Why the fuck are you looking at the characters ass instead of the entire rest of the game in front of you?”

There are really people like that?!

That’s a level of “not gay” I’ve never imagined before.

I’m not interested in playing as a vampire. I am a human. Breaks my immersion. I think there should be two options. One for vampyr and one for human.

Seriously though, this pathetic misogynist is a joyless snowflake.

He was clearly not interested in playing at all, since he doesn’t even know you play as Ciri in Witcher 3 as well.

The fact that Geralt has a penis is not enough to make me forget that he is not me. Throughout the series, you’re constantly learning stuff about a character that isn’t you, that you aren’t writing. I doubt they have examined their feelings.

The thing that always got rid of immersion for me as I ride my noble steed across the countryside to defeat mythical monsters from a mythology not my own was (1) geralt sounds too much like Gerald (2) his magic is trash/boring and (3) his crossbow is weak af. Never had a lot of difficulties with whether he had a dick or not.

They probably project themselves over the character and feel like they’re really the one getting the rewards.

I knew someone who was utterly baffled that when I watched batman zip around in his batmobile, I never once thought “what if I was batman, tho…? 😲” as if I had some kind of film-watching disability.

So yeah, I believe it.

Imagine trying to claim that you should be able to freely self-insert onto a character that had an entire game about losing their memory and rediscovering who they are lmao.
