Scott Ryder 'BroRyder' (Official Thread)

For me, it's because I tend to have very similar choices when I play the game.  I tend to favor paragon and "smart" answers/responses.  So if both the male and female character have the exact same options available and the same response reactions and same lines afterwards, then there's almost no replayability for me.  Because the female and male playthroughs will be essentially identical.  But if she has different choices and/or reactions and/or lines to the same situation, then it's more interesting for me to play through with her because it will be new/different content in most of the scenes. 

So, for example, in DA: I, I started a female dwarf playthrough with the intention of making her my 'renegade' character, but eventually found myself falling into my same old patterns and she ended up being essentially identical to my male dwarf.  But if she had different options than him.  Or if her responses were different.  Or if people's lines to her were different.  It would have been different content and would have increased the replayability for me. 

So I'm looking at it this way -- I'll definitely do a Scott playthrough as my "canon".  But now I'm actually looking forward to playing as Sara in order to see how her playthrough is different than his.  Where in DA: I, I played a female more out of obligation and interest in seeing what Blackwall's romance was like.
