No gender selection?!

Well since it's not in the process of dying yet I may as well give my extremely important input.

can we please lock this already... what good can come out of this thread that hasnt been said already?

I don't want to be accused of censoring topics that I don't agree with by locking them - we have to just let the thread die... If people feel it's worth discussing, then they're welcome to.

Now that's the kind of moderation policy I can get behind.

I'm pretty sure the Templar video shows him casting spells.

Templar is an old, bald, superstitious guy, he doesn't look like Lucas in Dungeon Siege 3, now does he...

Well there is how Dungeon Siege 3 is terrible and shamed the previous games by being so bad. I don't think the Path of Exile developers want to be taking notes from that game.

Dont lock this thread its funny seeing people get mad xD. Also metamag has said dungeon siege 3 in almost every one of his posts

I also want gender choice. And the whole "resources unavailable" just bodes quite bad.
I like what I know/see so far, but important things that are left for "a future update" are unacceptable. I have seen this in so many failed games that I can't even remember them all.
GGG, just push the release back a bit and deliver a polished game.
You should know that the first impression is THE MOST important.

Except leaving no gender selection is a deliberate choice that several developers make for their games, indie or not. And I prefer it that way, because I'm never able to care about the story of games that provide gender selections for all characters because the characters just don't feel unique.

And gender selection is a completely superficial feature, it has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not a game is polished.

Also I take it you haven't heard of League of Legends? They have so many incredibly important features to their genre that are left to a future update, but they're still extremely successful.

you do realize GGG started as a small indie group of 3 peeps who wanted to make a ARPG, later then grew to... what is it now.. 12 people?

They are self published, do you understand how that works? Sometimes you just cant push up a release if you dont have any money. They need to eat and sleep too you know

By contrast Diablo 3 easily has over a hundred people working on it. I'm sure if GGG had that many people, they'd be happy to add gender selection to the game.

Well, if at least they would allow gender selection for cash, I would still be happy.
It didn't bothered me at all in Diablo 1, tbh, but dunno, I'd like it here.
Anyway, it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, but just a bonus.
