1. I am a woman.
2. I like to read about women playing with lightsabers and guns that go pew pew.
3. It's a book in which only men get to do the cool stuff. Women get to have the hero's kid or die.
That sucks.
Play Septerra Core, the heroine is the only character who regularly gets lines!
"Leave it uncle, it's not important!"Okay, then you'll go back to retrieve the damn thing when the quest pops up.
Also, it was a hundred times better than the previous cinematic they showed.
A lot Wh40k books have such things. It's not really deep and stuff, but I blame it on the audience who doesn't want to read this. Saying that it doesn't exist in the world / setting is wrong, though.
Avellone may cartwheel at the thought of having an excuse to not do romances.
