Re: Male and Female Players: Are the experiences different?

Funny you should say that! I would normally say no, but in the case of AoC, I would say yes simply because your character was always getting hit on by hot chicks because they didn't bother to change the script based on your sex. Thus, you were constantly getting propositioned by hot chicks you rescued. However, hot dudes never propositioned you and offered to sex you up when you saved them or their horse. (At least not that I saw.)

It would have also helped if characters using the female model didn't inherently have a lower DPS due to character animation swings which they didn't bother to fix for the time that I played. (And still may not be fixed. )

Now granted, Conan was originally written in the 20s, and sexism was probably extremely prevalent in the world. I just refuse to believe that most of the chicks in the game world want to repay my character for saving their lives with hot lesbian sex. Once would have been okay. After the fourth time, it started getting on my nerves.
