General Discussion - No gender selection?! - Forum

I don't see how it matters. Even in Diablo 2 on battle.net ,all people cared about was how much oblivion you can unleash,nobody cared about the gender... at least in my experience. gender selection WOULD be a nice addition however.	Posted by Beliathor on Aug 15, 2012, 8:14:19 AM Quote this Post

That simply won't do, even in Dungeon Siege 3 playing as a female character was a total immersion breaker, I didn't even bother with them. Please make male gender available for all classes(most gamers are male anyway, especially with RPG). D3 -suck (I have 250 hours so I know) Dungeon Siege 3 my god what a deception, play all DS2 but 3 really suck... square enix ruined the franchise for me , the class are fine.. why you want a marauder woman? like the female baba from D3? naa female toon? ok for ranged and wizards... only that.. maybe a rogue but maybe Wise words buff -> balance <- nerf , need to happen , deal with it	Posted by PabloCappone on Aug 15, 2012, 8:17:02 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post

Gender selection is nice to have, but probably one of the last things on my wish list. And I certainly wouldn't like to have an option to select every skin you liked. It's nice to know where people started on the passive skill tree. Danskere: PM mig, hvis I har brug for en guild.	Posted by ongZ on Aug 15, 2012, 10:35:54 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post

I agree with Chris; I have melee based characters doing spells and using bows. The classes mean nothing other than starting point. You make of them what YOU want to. This isn't Diablo 3 where a Demon Hunter can only be a Demon Hunter, or a Barbarian can only be a Barbarian. Make your characters are you like. I play the ranger and the marauder and never cared if I could choose a gender, but i'm easy to please.	Posted by Deklin on Aug 15, 2012, 11:27:31 AM Quote this Post
" metamag wrote: Btw, even in Dungeon Siege 3 you had ranged and melee male class. Here, there is not a single male ranged class! Please tell me more about it... I am super interested to what you define as range coz i certainly saw a bow templar, a wand marauder (Build 8). I just do not understand what you meant by range. Since i am so stupid enlighten me please. No food in fridge... Beer it is.	Posted by bitedefer on Aug 15, 2012, 11:53:00 AM Quote this Post
Not sure if it's been said already, but I'm all for gender selection as long as it's not a cash shop only option. I understand that it is indeed a non-gameplay affecting cosmetic choice, but there's a fine line in the sand there IMO.	Posted by Aurinax87 on Aug 15, 2012, 11:58:04 AM Quote this Post
of all the things to whine about...lmao avatar gender-phobia... holy crap, people...it's not like someone is asking you to put on a dress and go outside...lol that's right up there with being afraid of pink... and a pale pink shirt really sets off a paisley tie...lol	Posted by blzbub on Aug 15, 2012, 12:08:04 PM Quote this Post
