Males in game

I dont have any reason to play male hero in this game. They are bigger and much more harder to hide in many places. Thats mean, they will be chased more often. And when this happen... Well, im not sure, but i would assume "Bigger = more easy to hit". For sure males are more easy to spot while chased by killer.

On top of that player see less while playing male, because they are bigger. Bill is huuuuge, and after playing females i could not get around that. Also i have no reason too change that...

So maybeee... Camera placement for males could be higher? At the waist arena, like in Dead Space for example. IMO that would make sense, they are usually higher, so they can see "more". They are harder to hide, but will be little better at spotting incoming danger.

What do you think?

    Every survivor in the game has identical hitbox, so don't worry about male characters being easier to hit.

    To begin with, many new players choose to play the female characters, because theyre a bit smaller and easier to hide. However, once you become more experienced, you won't mind being chased and the size of your character won't really matter to you anymore. Stealth is not really a good tactic once you start playing against decent players, so you'll eventually hit the point where it won't matter to you whether you play a blendy characer or not.

    I don't mind being chased but still very rarely play male characters cuz literally see less of a map, especially on Adam.

    + male characters feel more... clunky? Idk

    Thumbs up for camera placement idea.

    You are kind, but i doubt i will ever hit this magical 5% with 2000 hours. :) And anyway i play for fun. I will be better, sure, but i dont want second job. Also i dont really care about running, i like to be snaky, i like hiding behind this one barrel waiting close to gen when killer is sarching me for minute and go away thinking i was already not there. :)

    The voices of male character while grunting are usually quieter and harder to hear compared to the females. Some even say Ace has pretty much built in Iron Will.

    there are exceptions though, Jeff and Bill are very loud and there are quieter females as well. And the use of Iron Will nullifys this argumentation completely.

    I don't think it takes anywhere near 2000 hours to get bored of hiding and see how much fun chases can be, but I get your point, so no argument there :)

    I mean I only play David and Quentin for the sex appeal, and I still manage to survive my fair share.

    At least most killers don't have the mortal loathing and need to kill me they get from Claudettes and Neas.
