    You see, the steamer depicted may not be the exact subject matter they’re referring to. They might have just googled female streamers, or loaded up Twitch and looked for the first girl on camera and snapped a screen shot.

    With all that being said, I understand the appeal of wanting to watch something that you think is pretty. Hell, that’s the entire reason I played cyberpunk as a female character despite being very cis, and male.

    For 90% of game play my gender doesn’t matter. Until cutscenes where I get to watch my avatar interacting with others.

    Outside of cutscenes, I’m looking first person, so what difference does it make?

      2077’s female VA is incredible. She sounds so much more ‘real’ than clips of the male VA I heard, and the bit of rasp is utterly perfect for the setting.

      Same with Kassandra, Femshep, and (I think) FemRyder.

      Basically I’ve been trained into assuming the female VA is going to deliver a better performance.
