i recently played new vegas as a male character, which was the first time i ever played a man in.... probably all of my rpg history

Mab
it was actually really fun because i had a really strong sense of the character in my head

Mab
so i thought i'd give it a try with fo4 just to mix things up

Mab
it was harder with fo4 because they start you off as having a spouse and a kid and the whole story is designed around trying to find your kid, so that really limits the character you can create, at least in terms of back story as opposed to the other fallout mcs who are more blank slates

also in fo4 the main character is voiced, so it's weird creating new female characters since they all SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME. so hopefully having the male voice acting will lend some newness to the old game.
