Personally I don't find it creepy or weird, and in some cases I would say that it can make for a more immersive experience.

I did it once with a Nord. It made playing the game in 3rd person more enjoyable in a way.

While I normally play my main character Bahamet (Redguard - 2 handed tank), I am also playing Laurel Wildwood (spell sword/battlemage, Nord) and Ai-Khemet (Khajit theif/assassin) and those are both female characters. It's just a different perspective.

I'm assuming you mean pure mage. I can see either sex as a spell sword or a battle mage.My mages are usualy female. Call me a Nord but I cant imagine a man using such cowardly means of attack

I cant. Not even restoration
Take it like a man or die
If playing man its no magic, no runing away, no hiding behind followers and such
For females its the oposite usualy a necromancer - destruction mage hiding behind followers and abusing magic.

Not really sexist
Its just that I am a role-player, so my warriors are almost allways Nords, mages are breton though

I play most of my characters as females to be honest. Why? Because I play in third person alot of the time, and I simply like the look of my female characters better. I still play dudes, but I find my game much more rewarding if my character looks great, and I just can't make the men look good. I mean, I roleplay my characters, and I play a guy if the roleplay calls for it, but....... Savior's hide has convinced me that playing as a female is just more pleasing. I just don't like looking at male characters in this game. So no, it's not creepy at all.

So it's about asthetics for you. Good for you. As long as you don't play one handed at your keyboard and actually RP the character it's not creepy at all. I enjoy paying female characters (you're right, they are more pleasing to look at in many cases) although, I have to admit, after significant tweeking and experimentation on my PS3, my redguard Bahamet is looking pretty good too.

Lol, I play on XBOX 90% of the time, so one handed play probably means Im dead. It is the aesthetics but I do roleplay, I have to or I get bored. It's definitely a different perspective than mine, but it's still part of what I'm looking for in a game so, why not?

Coming from Diablo and Diablo II where the Rogue, Amazon and Assassin were only female, it isn't weird at all. It almost feels like those character types should be female.

I hope it's not creepy - I never play as a girl if I can avoid it because of character creation issues. Especially in Skyrim. '~'
Though, back when I played Perfect World, it was the complete opposite. Kind of interesting now that I think about it :>

No,Don't worry it's not that big deal it's a game and we all have our ways to have fun in it and you'll wear armor all the time so it won't show any difference you know because her face will be covered and if anybody is laughing on you tell them that's it's just a game and we all have our own ways and also my cousin played his second character as a female and it's not that big deal.
