Gender restrictions according to Gamespot? | Forums

I don't have any issues with playing as a female in a story setting, but it doesn't make sense to pick and choose what classes get gender selection in the multiplayer part of this game. I don't see how a male viking with a spear (the class I think would fit my style best) is not allowed, when you have she-hulk raiders. My point is, either let us choose for all classes, or none of them. Otherwise it makes the customization feel really half-assed.

Also I think you can see a male "valkyrie" on a ship in one of the cinematic trailers. Maybe the faction one?

I am really hoping they remove the gender locks. I like playing as a female for the tougher characters, but I don't like that if I want to play as a male, I have to be a character that just swings a big sword around.

Or a male Berserker, Orochi, Conq, Raider, Shugoki, or Lawbringer. I mean the truth is as big swords go only one, the Warlord, is locked to playing as a male.

I was generalizing where I shouldn't have, I'm sorry. What I meant by that was that most of the male characters are bigger and beefier, or are hard hitters. The exceptions being the Warden and Orochi, which don't appeal to me as much. It really isn't a game-breaking issue for me, but I really like the aesthetic and finesse that it seems the Nobushi champion is going to get, and I really dig spears. It's more of an issue of me wanting to play as a male that isn't brute force or bulk, a male that is smaller but uses that to his advantage. It's similar to the reason I like playing champions like the Raider and Kensei as females. If I could play the Shugoki as a woman, I probably would.

I know how I sound, picky and whiny, haha. I'm just hoping to get my voice heard more than anything, I'm not going to cry if it doesn't change. I apologize for not being clearer earlier, I was in a rush.

You should be able to have male/female whatever, it's not like the game is 100% accurate.

Yeah, just keep leaving feedback about it. The game is in a great state right now and is still 5 months out. I feel like this is something that could be worked on over time. I don't care if it is something implemented post-release that I need to pay for, lol. Just having full gender options for all current and future classes would be great.

I keep repeating myself, but learning the last six classes would be gender locked really surprised me. Seeing the first six classes have full customization options, I just assumed that would be the case for the remaining classes.

Anyway, hopefully they change their minds and decide to go all the way with the remaining six classes. We will see, I guess.

having gender locks is fine, but its a bit jarring when you cant change genders for half the classes. I feel it should be one way or the other, not half in half.

Please no stupid gender lock in this game. Adding both gender on every class would likely satisfy most of player, including me. I mean the only (gender) problem in this game is the valkyrie class that describe as a female warrior, which mean creating male valkyrie is just stupid. Either create another name for male valkyrie, or just rename the class to something else and bam!! case solved.

I think genderlock is pretty fine. why not? there are no handsome reasons.
otherwise i support, that everyone can just play the gender he/she is in real life. so get out your identity card and get access to your gender.

Why do you want play an female character in an game u just see armor with an head on it.

wtf... are here all in a puberty?

Or we do not project ourself into a character we are not and prefer looking at oposit gender rather then our own?

And how is it being in puberty that one whant to creat a character they think look good? And if YOU do not have a problem with gender lock in a game with customization like this do not meen all of us are. One personal preference is not better then anothers, let people have the options then to take them away.

Gender was a question asked at the masterclass directly and the response was very "play who you want, make them as you want" not "half the roster is locked in the gender department".

Gamespot has been wrong before so I wouldn't be surprised if this is all just misinformation. Were it not, I don't see it as a huge deal but a pretty shady move on Ubi's part for conveniently dodging that.

Plus it wouldn't make much sense for half the classes to randomly be locked.

Now if only some of them weren't as ugly as sin. (Looking at you, female Conqueror. :/ )
