+1 on this so much.

As cool as a female marauder would be, I think it would require so much work that it wouldnt be worth it. New models, new animations, voice acting etc.

Well they should at least make the ranger a red head/strawberry blonde. :)

I also find this a great idea for an MTX or something. Would definitely buy.

Problem solved.

It's their job to add new things to the game and change things that aren't quite right (like balance issues, for example). The "too much work" argument doesn't really apply. What should be argued is whether it would be worth it in terms of upping player retention, gaining new players, profitability through MTX, general enjoyment of the game, etc. I think it would be absolutely worth it.

Only 2 things bother me about character models:

1) Scion non-combat stance makes her look like an idiot clubfoot teenager, not a confident woman.

2) Pants or lack there of.

Honestly, I'd rather have fully customizable model... choose gender, skin color, hair style, hair color, height, skinny/fat, muscular/scrawny, voice, etc. That just won't happen for many reasons. There's always "more" that could be done with the game, but GGG has dug themselves into a few design holes that are not easy to dig out of (the "lore" behind each class, for example).

That's why I think just gender opposite versions of each class is a fair compromise. It's some work, and it could be an MTX thing, but it would be greatly appreciated. They could take it a small step further by having those gender opposites have slightly varying starting stats too. It wouldn't break the game any, but it would add a little flavor and change the 1-20 leveling in some specific cases a little bit.

Even with a gender swap for each char, that would mean 7 new voice actors.

Some minor but noticeable differences for ascendancy classes would be nice, not whole new models but maybe different hairstyles and clothes.

Most VAs can do more than one voice. Just rehire a couple of them for it. If it's going to be an MTX option anyway, it's an investment, not a cost.

It is a cost until the cost is recouped.
