Skyrim can be played as either, though I personally do prefer 1st person in the case of Skyrim. I specifically said ‘3rd person RPG’ because the point I was making wasn’t limited to just Skyrim, and anything played 3rd person is obviously where it’s important to my experience of, ah… the game. Yes, totally of the game.

For me it’s not even about gender identity or role playing. If I’m going to spend 200 hours in a 3rd person RPG looking at a character’s ass, that ass had better be female.
