In my personal experience with women, they're not drawn to violent fantasy CRPGs like many men are - and in fact they detest that sort of juvenile fantasy - that Bioware tried to market. You might have been drawn to the game for other reasons, but I bet you didn't exactly mind the violence.
In my personal experience with men, the ones who are drawn to violence is a minority. But my friends are usually computer nerds or academics. Neither I or my cohabit reflect on virtual violence, we are more concerned with game mechanics, numbers to be built, items to be collected, puzzles to be solved, achivements to be earned. But I am also interested in philosophical questions, storybuilding, character portraits etc, where the setting is just a backdrop. Violent conflict is a common backdrop for human history and thus represent a good background for telling a story. I appreciate other settings though.
