    Gender lock

    @Ubi soft

    Now, I'm probably not the first to ask this question ( or probably the last ) but, why the gender locks? Why is it necessary to have equal amounts of hero's gender locked? I just don't understand why the peacekeeper is a female... This is the closest hero to the Assassins creed games, which were 99% male, yet this is gender locked Female? Why are he more interesting characters all Female locked? Also, don't give me the BS about them being more agile, This BS is a myth. Go watch the Shaolin monks do their demonstrations, or go watch gymnastics, where men do all the events women do as well as lot more. Failing that, go watch lightweight UFC/Boxing or anything involving combat, as there's a reason these events are gender locked.

    Sorry to say this ladies, but, Women don't have the structure for combat, and would have to train twice as much as a male to overcome their natural advantages. It's not sexist, it's natures way. Every single species on the planet has a more physically dominate gender, as they're meant to be the defenders or providers. Females have breasts for a reason ( another hindrance to combat ), as their naturally the ones to take care of the offspring.

    Stop trying to be SJW's in an era that was dominated by men fighting, not because they were sexist, but because of the male dominance in combat. Valkyries and Shield maidens were trained only to protect the homelands from attackers while the men went off to rape and pillage. Even then they had the young and older/lessor warriors who would lead the battle in them cases. Also, female, Shaman were witch doctors and didn't even fight, the male equivalent is already in the game, the Berserker, which again, defaults as a women. This pretty goes for female Samurai as well, they were there to make up the numbers not lead a charge...

    I don't females being in the game, but stop giving them the more interesting hero's!

    I think the only gender lock problem here is the one in your head, mate.

    Looks like you got some problem against females, I would have understood your point if it was just about character customization but all that crap about male dominance is beyond me. Also if you were neutral about gender lock then why not ask for a female highlander ? he's a pretty interesting character, a female counter part would be interesting too.

    The heroes like the Nobushi are genderlocked because in actual samurai history they were only females.

    However heroes like the Peacekeeper on the other hand..... should also have a male option. However NOT JUST A MALE OPTION. It seems you prefer to have only males in this game which I hate the though of. We shouldn't be sexist. If you want that go play Kingdom Come Deliverance. Also why all the stuff about male dominance? That's not what the gender customization is about.

    You also gotta remember the game takes place right now. The Cataclysm kept everybody in the dark ages for a VERY long period of time. So stuff would most definitely be different.

    I think there should be no gender specific heroes, but you obviously haven't seen a woman gymnast, or a woman power lifter, or a woman martial artist. They're all more than capable of competing with and beating men in such endeavors. I'm sure you're not the most masculine man, and I'll bet ANY mma woman could kick your *** easily, so....
