Just make your games first person view only, no third person view. You can be who/what ever you imagine yourself to be. You can be male/female/androgynous or a magic unicorn with rainbow farts and chewing cotton candy cud with the blood of the vanquished dripping from your horn. And it's all in your head.

No when I'm playing a first person game and I can't look down at my tits I get angry.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

In quite a lot of games if you look down you can only see your own legs, which of course is totally unrealistic.

To be perfectly honest while it's neat in the rare case when a game attempts to model the body properly in first person.

And in being blunt here. Its a stupid fucking choice.

It makes animations hard as hell to do that don't cause more motion sickness if not impossible. It makes many actions physically impossible to do in a playable manner. And basically breaks every trick in the book to make things look real.

Remember even in 3d games there's a LOT of optical illusions and trickiery that has to happen to make things look right.

There's some bullshit you can pull to give characters a proper body in third person, but it comes with a lot of restrictions that just arnt worth it in most cases.

I'm here for it! Gay Armadillos in the Sun!

That sounds like "just make your games totally unplayable for some people" (which also includes me.) Technically I can play some first person games but because there are so many that would give me motion sickness so in general I just avoid them

Can confirm. It took me a while to figure out my character was Someone™ in Portal
