In games with romantic plots, the hero's gender may determine the available love interests, but this generally won't affect the main plot. Character stats aside, the choice will have minimal impact on the game scenario, perhaps affecting only the manner in which Non Player Characters address the character.


In a rare few cases, there will be a small difference in beginning stats, but no difference in terms of the maximum ability score that can be gained.

In those RPGs where one can generate one's own characters, it is often the case that the sex of the character is a purely aesthetic choice, with no difference whatsoever in terms of in-game stats.
