Both male and female characters are usually sexualized in games. Man are usually Rambo types with huge muscles and females on the busty side. There are exemptions. Bethesda or Bioware games usually don't take that path in their vanilla state.
I don't care for busty as well as muscle man. And ordianary guy or gal does just fine in my opinion. Some years ago I resorted to playing female characters when the opportunity way offered because I grew tired of the stereotypical hero.
