Gender matter?

Just curious. For most game's it's mainly a skin change and might elicit a different set of pronouns from time to time. In Fallout 2, however, it played a big role regarding content accessibility.

I presume Fallout New Vegas follows Fallout 3's example but, for all it's faults, I liked Fallout 2's approach. Mutual exclusivity is good, in my opinion.

As far as a can tell the only gameplay difference is that women can get the Black Widow and Cherchez La Femme perks while Men can get the Lady Killer and Confirmed Bachelor perks. These unlock unique gay and straight dialogue.

I'm pretty sure that's it.

I'm not sure about this but
[spoiler:fff66aae57]when you go to caesars fort, there's an arena there. I played with a female character and I wasn't allowed to fight in the arena because of my gender. I haven't tried it with a male one so I don't know if fighting there is possible as a man.[/spoiler:fff66aae57]

 

[Little Robot]

I was allowed in to do that as a male character.

Female characters can
