    So i've played through with a male character a few times before. I've done magic, done neutral, now im doing tech.

    But you know, something I haven't done is played through with a female character. From reading, I know this:
    1. Madam Lil's quests are different (found by asking my brother, who has played through this game so many times he knows where characters are by heart)
    2. You have to sleep with Mr. Wellington to get into the Gentleman's club (found in an FAQ).

    Is there anything else of note? Different conversation actions? Quests? The unlikely monster to kill?

    Some people in bars will be utter, utter dicks. *grumble*

    You get -1 Strength, +1 Constitution (good for magic-types, as it happens).

    Some people will be condescending to say the least.

    Wearing the barbarian armour is absolutely hysterical. *snicker*

    You get some great backgrounds if you want high beauty/charisma.

    Yeah. There's more coverage on the armor than there is on males.

    Isn't the dialogue with Madam Lil's girls different if you're a female and hire them?
    Also Madam Lil's quests have a slight twist if you're a female.

    Never tried that combination. Are there any funny reactions, or is it just for the kicks, like a halfling warrior with a big'n'nasty two handed sword?

    Well, you get better coverage than you do as a dude (though not much), but the comments people make crack me right up. Hee hee.

    Not necessary, if you have enough persuasion.

    Btw, there are few exclusive backgrounds accesible only for female caharcters, while making your personal heroine before beginning the game.

    Btw, i noticed that npc halflings seems more happy to see a female half-helf, more than other npc does. But I didn't tried yet with a male half elf.

    Also not necessary if you just want to kill the bastard.
