    Gender Locked Classes

    I remember at an E3 forum some guy on the for honor development team said that you could chose whatever you wanted in terms of hero creation. I am a personal fan to the Peacekeeper and i would enjoy playing a male variant, do you think that sometime in the future we could see the restriction unlocked. Not just for peacekeeper but all classes.

    Unlikely. Having watched the videos of how they record the animations for each character, it seems like a lot of work to just add some genders. And really, most people don't care enough, so it's not worth the effort. It's 6 characters after all. It's more likely that they'll add entirely new characters instead. You could make an entirely new faction for the same effort.

    I wouldn't say most people don't care enough. I'm pretty sure it's the #1 most requested feature at this point. I can't go anywhere without seeing people complaining about it. Though, I've seen the animation argument presented, I'm not sure if I understand it. Wouldn't it only matter if each gender needed totally different animations?

    people do care wth its like the most requested **** right now, and for the animation excuse cant they just re use the same animation and remodel the character as a male? like how they do with skins in other video games. its not like female and males have diferent move sets on other characters that have both genders.

    I don't like hating on developers but they are just being lazy here. There is absolutely no reason for there to not be a male peacekeeper or nobushi. We are already in a game with vikings fighting knights fighting samurai. So don't get started on silly lore. They are just gender locking since it's half the work on animations.

    I love For Honor so far but I do spit on this developer decision.

    Meh not being able to pick a gender for some of the classes doesn't bother me and while I do disagree with you guys on the issue I can see your point. We still have 6/12 that you can choose which gender you want to be while some maybe in this games lore could be gender locked for lore reasons as well as the afformentioned animation issues. Maybe they will add equivalents later on down the road.

    They motion capture the animations over and over and over and over again, and blend them together so that you can go from any motion to any other seamlessly. They'd have to get a female actress in to do all of it, otherwise it wouldn't fit the female skeleton.

    The only two that it makes sense with are the Valkyrie, and to a lesser extent the Shugoki. I can't see any lore or practical reason to gender lock the Peacekeeper, Lawbringer, Nobushi, and Warlord. I feel like Ubisoft is trying to be too even-handed.The Vikings had to have a gender lock with the Valkyrie, so they added a male and female gender locked class to every faction to keep it even
