Gender restrictions according to Gamespot? | Forums

[MathiasCB]

Finally, the truth has been spoken. According to my friend who participated in Tech Test, the game mode was really boring. You may feel excited at first but after a couple days, you will click the refund button
PLEASE UBISOFT. PLEASE DON'T LET THIS GAME BE ANOTHER WATCH DOGS

Maybe that mode wasn't to his liking. The tech test was very limited in a way. Remember that we'll get several more characters and a few more modes. Playing the same mode for several days(maybe even the same class) and get bored doesn't surprise.

So far the devs has not let us down. They're listening and they're doing one hella' good job!

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.

I am assuming some of them are genderlocked because you are playing that specific character from the story. Lawbringer for example is very obviously Holden Cross or a representation of him.

Hmm, that would be unfortunate. Would rather be able to make my own version of a Lawbringer. To hell with Holden Cross, haha.

And the campaign should be pretty long so I assume we will face other halberd users besides Cross, but I could be wrong. Still, quite a bummer, but I really hope that if these gender restrictions are legit that they can slowly be worked on post release, or maybe even leading up to release since we still have half a year to go.

I hope so, bright side is the game only tested pre Alpha, hope they will listen the community and bring the necessary change to the game. If this game and Watch Dogs 2 is suck, man I can't imagine how Ubisoft next year will be like.
I really hope and trust Ubisoft in this game, especially after Watch Dogs is so bad. Now is the time Ubi need to show there experience

Holden cross, the black stone legion lawbringer? Fighting alongside Warborn and Chosen? Where should the line be drawn here?

So according to this Gamespot article: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/for.../1100-6442709/

there are several classes restricted to a certain gender. Here is the relevant quote from the above article:

"Roughly half of these playable characters are female. Each of the three factions has four heroes each: one is a man, one is a woman, and two can be played as either man or woman."

Just wondering if this is true? Obviously, we would need a response from someone on the Ubi team, but this is really disappointing, if true.

So we would not be able to play the following class/gender combos:

Female Lawbringer, Female Shugoki, Female Warlord

Male Peacekeeper, Male Nobushi, Male Valkyrie

Anyone else hoping this is just Gamespot making incorrect assumptions? lol

GameSpot should hire better writers. Since when is exactly half the same as roughly half.

I was thinking the same thing while reading XD.

Well its kinda a pitty that there is a gender lock but i think i get where they are comming from maybe they thought a female raider might not be flattering ? idk.

But on the flip side, blizzard didnt give a ****. There is a female barbarian and crusader in diablo and also zarya in overwatch.

They could always add stuff later right ? for 5$ maybe ? XD

You can play a female Raider, but not a Warlord. That is the most surprising one to me.

I hope they wont genderlock, or atleest perhaps releas the genders later patches. Only reson to genderlock is to lower the amount of work they need to do befor releas.
