Guild Wars 2 was one of the things that made my egg crack
I had made a guy character, and randomly one day I decided actually no, this character needed to be a girl. So I used a makeover kit and Xanthus became Scarlet.
And uhhh. It felt a little⊠Too good? To transition one of my many characters into a pretty girl.
Add to that how happy I was to find a canonically trans NPC, and youâve got a whole lot of egg cracking power
I was extremely aware that I was supposed to pick the guy character so I always did, but for some reason it was always a nice surprise to find out that the game Iâm playing had a female protagonist
I would switch it up between playing as male and female avatars in games. I am non-binary tho, so.. I was splitting the diff I guess ÂŻâ \â â (â ăâ )â â /â ÂŻ
I really dislike self insert because Iâm not a big fan of myself in general lol. The only time I try to make a character even vaguely look like myself is when Iâm playing with online friends who donât actually know what I look like. Irl friends in multiplayer games either get to see my best Picasso impression or whatever joke is dinking around in the ol brain tank in the moment. But for people who may never see me in person, thatâs when I try to make a character look like me. Any single player game where I create a character, I want to be as far away from my own reality as possible so I often randomize until I have something interesting and modify from there or I spend hours making someone I have never seen before in my life but could conceivably exist.
I never really cared. I often make a person that just looks like me, or what is as far away from me. I would say my characters are 70% girls, with no rhyme or reason.

Matt Damon getting old dot jiff
Yes and that is less than 11 years ago, right? Itâs still 2021, right?
Oh boy I sure hope gw1 isnât old enough to drink in the united sta-
I always played as a girl cause I subconsciously wanted to look like me.
I think thatâs true for everyone who isnât cis though?
Genuinely was a speed advantage in morrowind which was the first game i played that had full custom like that
Lol but yeah, played a girl anytime i could. Mine always had red hair! And well, you knowwww
Edit: idk why my client keeps messing up and leaving 2-3 copy comments đ i tried fixing it lol didnt work

I think trans masc of folk often play men actually. And until recently I feel like enbies were pretty much always just disappointed.

Never played as a man even once if there was any choice at all.
Thatâs how I started, but I was playing Everquest Frontiers (PS2). It took me 23 years to get here.
To be honest, this would be better if she rolled a Charr character, maybe a Sylvari.
That would certainly have been an impressive transformation
GW2 is so so so goated
