Male/female versions of characters please, because ASCENDANCY.
" character SKIN transfer mtx confirmed |

" I doubt anyone sees this as a problem. I guess some people would just like some alternatives, for lulz. I prefer playing female characters, cuz, you know - I prefer looking chick all that time I'm farming, and not a dude. XD Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.

" So you're saying the fact that Oriaths are all supposed to be white, and the only visible minority char that we can choose is a black slave and you don't see a problem here? Dark_Chicken - lvl 100 Marauder
Divine_Chicken - lvl 100 Duelist |

" " No idea about the lore here, but it's a matter of wording. "nun is a nun not templar" Both are servants of a higher power by design, in that sense they are the same. If the word "nun" bothers you, think "vestal" like in ancient... times... ...Or sort of a matriarch figure that takes care of the congregate, as a "housekeeper". Even a committed "servant" would work - pretty sure when you serve a bunch of priests, in your mind, you're doing god's work too. " Sorry, was worded this way to pinpoint it's the same class, and yeah - I do know the WORD (again) "warlock". Disclaimer - english is not my first language. " Male shadow always felt forced for me. He's a phoney, face it. He's trying so hard to be dark no adult person would ever treat him seriously. With female shadow, I'd like to see a real, natural born killer. A sociopath. Not a conditioned one, by harsh environment or pressure. Using her sexuality as a way to disarm her target seems perfectly reasonable to me - and it doesn't even mean either she can't enjoy it too, in her own way. She can't form a meaningful bond without anyone because of her psychological condition, so that's out of the question. You see something related to sex and you call it "sexist", I see something that says that something related to sex is automatically "sexist", and call it "retarded". In regards to the concept, same could easily apply to a male shadow - if he was portrayed the way I described the female one, to begin with. " That's precisely why I wouldn't like the same **** again. Unless they would be twins... yeah, that would work becuase it would build them both as characters at the same time, in a way it makes sense. " Duelist is 100% the worst one I wrote down, there is no idea behind it. :< damn I did it wrong. :V there you go " I don't know honestly... were the female not restricted in ranged weapon usage in some way? Oh damn, you're right, males were the one bound by their code. Mistake! Still, putting a Karui femele in the same role as the male one kinda implies that they are predestined or restricted to this role of marauders... VIDEOGAME RACISM 10/10 IGN. Joking obviously, but it does seem kinda forced for some reason I'm not quite sure how to pinpoint. Plus, I like the big fat girl angry archetype - they are really scary. That's marauder for you. If I saw a male shadow in a dark alley and he would be like "I will enjoy kiling you." I'd be like "Excuse me, where the **** is your mommy?" If an angry fat girl would look at me the wrong way on the street full of people in broad daylight, I'd be like "Mommy where are you please come pick me up now". " Yeah, I guess he is! Agreed. Can he be a male prostitute though? No? Ok. |

" yeah, that's what I had in mind. Not that old though, not "am I dead? am I alive? Can't tell." old. Semifunctional-old. |

" The problem is thinking that Wraeclast is the real world. |
|
" I'm not sure if it necessarily goes to the point of sexism, but I can see the point. I guess it depends if we want to see ourselves on the screen, or to role play as someone else, and why. I could ask if you perceive there to be some inherent "flaw" in playing as a girl, as a guy in real life. Personally, I actually seem to prefer playing female characters, but maybe that's because I'm ME all the rest of the damned time. I'm not me in a fictional game on a fictional continent. Besides, I am not any of the character classes that exist in the game. I'm just a lowly, normal-ass human being. I imagine many other guys, however, would choose not to play females if they could just all play men. Now, maybe you wouldn't do this for sexist reasons (maybe you just want to identify with the gender of the character), but quite a few certainly would. There's still this idea permeating much of our societies that female = inferior. We don't want to be a girl because that's not as "good." She can't rawk like a man. All of that baseless bullshit. But it's there. That's why girls dressing as guys is okay, but the same can not always be said of the reverse. Give a boy "girls' toys" or "girls' colors" and see what happens. Were the option available, Wraeclast might become a sausage fest. Not that this would be absolutely terrible, but I like that there is the diversity there is, with stories for the character classes and the like. I had initially been all for the character skin transfer MTX idea, but this thread is slowly turning me against it. -VG- Invited to Beta 2012-03-18 / Supporter since 2012-04-08 Last edited by VideoGeemer#0418 on Mar 1, 2016, 1:58:48 AM

Not gonna quote that giant bulk of a text, but just gonna address some stuff:
1. Shadow prostitute. (this is a term now) I'm not sure how being unable to feel empathy must be connected to being a sex-addict. :V Shadow is not forced. He is exactly that - he lacks empathy, so he does what others cannot, and gets paid for it. He is smart and cynical (most smart people are cynical *wink* *wink*). Your thinking that if there is a woman, there must be sex is off. That is all I wanted to say - no need for name calling, matey. I'm not opposed to such ideas, but shoving that random prostitution makes no sense. Why? Well, take Piety for instance. She used to be a prostitute. Why? Because she needed funds for her projects. She didn't do that because she liked it (not saying there are no women like this, nor that it is a bad thing). And this MAKES SENSE. She had a clear reason to do it. Your female shadow has no reason, other than I like dirty women, who kill people. Lol. 2. Duelist Yeah, and this is what they should be. Same (or similar) characters, but with other sexes. Do you want people complaining, that they want to play that Shadow Male Character, but in female skin, and not that Dirty Whore Shadow? 3. Marauder Urgh... dude. Really. Your personal fetishes/phobias do not interest us here. :V If you'd saw male Shadow in a dark alley, and he'd say to you that he'll enjoy killing you, you'd be screaming like a girl, and running for your life. Do you see those tools he has on his belt? My wild guess is that he isn't a doctor. :S Lets have game's integrity on first place, and personal preferences a little bit further. Different people like different stuff, and if we all start screaming what we want PERSONALLY, we will never reach an agreement. We have a general theme, story and lore to create stuff - no need to make stuff up. Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance. Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge. Last edited by Perq#4049 on Mar 1, 2016, 2:17:47 AM
