Really hope Obsidian just announces they're adding in romances for you people then this can all go to bed.

Another aimless day, but it's bookstore day so not that awful.

Pretty weak insult at all. Such weird terminology these days.

Damn everyone wins. The forums DO produce good ideas.

Hope is but the first step on the road to disappointment.

Well those are two games I'd never expect them to draw things from.

I just wanted to give you a reason that has not been named already. There are plenty more hidden in this thread already, but since i have to repeat them over and over I try to vary it a bit. Short version: You can either participate in the brainstorming for making the game better by thinking about cultural diversity (in regards to beauty) and a realistic, interesting, non-standard depiction of women in games or you can do, what a few posters like NerdBoner and Jasede have done for pages now: Try to bring this down to a discussion about political correctness, accusing others of whiteknighting and, in short, spam this thread. I'd like to see you included in the discussion, though. Your choice Oh great, more moderator wannabes. That reason has been brought up already, I'm not exactly a fanboy of the company, but I do at least trust them to not mess up basic things as "making decent characters".

Not much meat behind telling them to continue a trend though, they're not fools, after all. EDIT : sorry for the double post.

Well given that this isn't fully voiced, it makes avoiding this issue easy - I'd imagine making a Michelle Thorton would have pressed their budget. Then again, maybe they just wanted to tell a story about a male protagonist in those games.

http://www.swtor.com/free/features People playing for free : Have limited character creation options Be restricted to three Warzones (PVP matches), three Flashpoints (dungeons) and three Space Missions (spaceship combat) a week Not be able to take part in Operations (raids) Not be able to equip purple artifact-quality items Be restricted to five field revivals Not get priority space in server log-in queues Have a longer cooldown for Quick Travel Not have access to Emergency Fleet Pass

Ah, well that's pretty easy stuff, can't imagine why this would be a concern from Obsidian.

You'd think someone would have clued in on that by now, eh ?

Ugh, bad flashbacks at the mention of OGRE (that old Pogo web browser AT&T wanted done..). Still cool list though, if only I had talent at designing models

I am wondering how long they can keep spinning up about this, though. Your bitterness at games past aside, when you say you want the world to react to your PC being female, what kind of reactions are you thinking of, out of curiosity ?

And cats, of course. This game needs moah catz. Great, now some loon is going to demand a cat race and furry romances!

What's this crazy talk ? Don't you know they need us to tell them to make a good plot, create good female characters, do proper QA, etc., etc.

They do clean up threads when people are being 'rude' to others, maybe your concept of 'rude' posts doesn't mesh with theirs ?

And in any case, that's a pretty lousy reason to not voice an opinion

It'd be neat to have an out of shape character, can't run for any notable period of times with out huffing and puffing.

Some really tender people here, heh. I'd hope they're just giving you lot the illusion of listening to you barring reactions to their announcements.

GOGBook, innovative! Mac support. Wonder what this announcement with Interplay is supposed to be.

Would you really be seeing all that much of them, based on the perspective though ? Given that, just have to worry about the way they're written.

Well, if you're using Firefox, adblock the images, simple. Depends on the avatar though, some sort of weird epilepsy inducing one would probably get nixed by a mod.

Specialized ammunition and grenades would be a nice addition, and you having to make them, but oh well. Lost a bunch of guys due to a car explosion, had to abort and evac the 3 survivors, so my current game looks like a failure. Shame too, I got a Major and got the Squaddie bonus for all new guys - which actually sucks as I have 8 or 9 snipers.
