Far Cry 6

Male or Female Protagonist? Differences and Which to Choose

Add to Watchlist

Does Dani

This is a guide to the gender options for Far Cry 6's newest protagonist. Here you'll read about a comparison between female and male Dani Rojas, and how gender assignment affects your gameplay experience!

Does Choosing Between Male or Female Affect Gameplay?

Gender Does Not Affect Gameplay

Players are given the decision to choose between a male or female version of Dani Rojas at the start of the game, however this decision does not affect gameplay and any part of the storyline.

Both Genders are Canon for Dani

Both genders are a unified experience for Dani, as expressed by the game's narrative director. That should ease players' rumination over the validity of their playthrough experience as either a male or female Dani Rojas.


After talking to several members of our team, something that was clearly important was not to try and create two different storylines. If you pick male or female, that choice is for you to make, and that journey of Dani will be one and the same.

Gear Up as You Please Regardless of Gender!

Bring out the good stuff in your arsenal as choosing either gender will not bar you from personalizing Dani's equipped gear.

Female and Male Dani Rojas Comparison

Voice Acting

Many players in the community sing praise to Dani's female voice actress. In comparison to Dani's female VA, the male voice acting has been criticized as being lackluster and less expressive.

If voice acting is a factor that affects your game experience, this should be on the list of things you can consider.

Assigned Pronouns

Dani is addressed accordingly based on the gender you choose. There will be no ambiguity in language as she/her or he/him (or hermano/hermana) are consistently used throughout the storyline.

Best Gender to Choose

Female Dani Rojas

Based on the voice acting, the female version of Dani gives a more dynamic experience playing the game. If voice acting is something that affects the experience for you, we highly recommend choosing the female version of Dani.

Seeing the other “character” get killed literally in the opening scene. Seeing the male get shot and killed vs the female. Easier to swallow. Shoot the male Dani every single time. Female Dani is saved from this fate.
