Could also be about your conception of what you're doing in a game - are you being the character, or controlling them
That's why drag personally believes all RPGs with character customisation should have gender selection unless there's a very good reason why not. The one good exception drag has seen is Pentiment - in that game you're a mediaeval writer who hangs out with the monks at the Abbey. That story can't be authentic with a woman player character. But that's a very rare situation. Even games with named main characters can have gender select. Look at Prey and Mass Effect. It's an accessibility feature.
Been meaning to try pentiment, is it any good?
Yes.
