  1. snip

     

    Im pretty sure you would need stamina too, unless you were hoping for a fast kill.

    Heavyweight dude isn't bad. He looks like a bloke at least and not an underwear model. I like my man with a bit of tummy. :p

    Same for my women ;)

    I like how the hot-topic of this entire game is whether or not women should be allowed to show off cleavage or not.

     

    Good to see we've got our priorities straight.

     

    Boobs, they are serious biznizz.

    Indeed.
  2. Like the previous guy said well, it's just unrealistic to have women running around in full plate armor and fighting against men toe to toe, why bring realism into this?

    Just leave women with the bikini armors, what's the big deal? they like to show off their features, and I, like any male, like to look at them.

    So women are weak and incapable of accomplishing anything other than being your personal eye candy?
  3. Main female character just doesn't make much sense IMO.In games, movies and in history of the real world, I mean you can probably count with your fingers the amount of important females in our history.

    So my suggestion is making the main story locked in on a male possibility only...at least for some classes, like warrior, paladin...

    Just because we live in a sexist world doesn't mean you should exclude women from playing what classes we want.

     

    Why do you think women don't fight wars even today, with all this feminism culture going around with all the equality and stuff, cuz thats only good in the paper, in real life everyone knows the male is the strong and rational figure and the women is the emotional and weak creature.Men have more willpower to accomplish goals, that's why there arent many women Newton's around.

    just my opinion, I admit I havent met every women in this planet, but so far, I'm pretty sure that's how it is for everyone of them, their purpose in life is just to find a strong man and cling to it.

    You're not a very nice person :/
  4. Yes, because using a GAME as a reference is a great way to settle the realism of a hypothetical situtation. :)

     

    It settles a setting's internal logic, which is entirely realistic.

     

    Only if that setting explicitly redefines men and women and their abilities. Just like you assume that the sun rises in the east, you assume that men are stronger than women, unless told otherwise.

    Fallout: New Vegas was a video game designed by... wait for it... Obsidian Entertainment. In this game there are no stat penalties for playing as a women nor as a man. While not realistic this was most likely done to not limit a player's options and allow to play whatever role as whatever gender.

     

    Project Eternity is an upcoming video game designed by.... the exact same people. Why would they suddenly decide to limit the player's options in such a way when it is so rarely done? The only game I can think of with stat penalities is Arcanum which gives a +1 to strength for male characters and a +1 to Endurance for female characters.

  5. And also one of the most historically valid things. There is a reason after all while, aside from a few HIGHLY unrepresentative examples, the vast majority of all armies were and are made up of men.

     

    CAN a woman POSSIBLY defeat a trained man in armored combat? Sure. But it's pretty damn unlikely.

    See, here's my thing.

     

    Our party is gonna be... what? Four people? Six people?

     

    Something like that.

     

    We're going to be playing with a tiny subset of the entire population of a world. We are not gathering every single man and woman together and having them square off in a gladiator arena until only one sex remains. We are talking specific people.

     

    Maybe one of those people happens to be a woman who, through a combination of genetics and upbringing, is strong and talented in a fight? More so than most, albeit not necessarily all, men?

     

    Spoiler alert: that's vaguely... realistic?

    I was reading through all the posts since I've been gone and have been watiing for someone to say this.

     

    Yes the average woman is weaker than the average man. But this doesn't mean the strongest woman is weaker than the weakest man. I very highly doubt my character will be locked out of melee combat roles. Who was the unarmed combat specialist in Fallout: New Vegas? A woman? But this thread said that's impossible!

    Project Eternity isn't a video game? I better withdraw my $100 pledge because I have been misled.

  7. Yup yup! Realistic armor is important! I hate it when I defeat some ancient eldritch horror and pick the lock on a magical treausre chest find some new amazing armor that it makes me look like a Soul Calibur character :p

     

    And on the subject of variety I agree that we need a wider variety of characters. As a transgender lesbian it's a bit frustrating to see almost every female character be a white, straight, accesory for the main character or something like that. Where's the dark skin, the lesbians, the asexuals, the gender queer? Not trying to push an agenda here but Obsidian is one of the only developers I trust that can handle these sorts of characters with the respect and realism the deserve.

     

    As long as it's done tastefully and realistically. Far too often in recent games those types of characters seem thrown in there for the sake of satisfying a political correctness quota rather than to organically flesh out the world and story line and as such they often stick out like a sore thumb and ruin the immersiveness of the game in my opinion.

    Of course. If a character isn't a good character they shouldn't be in the game. Characters shouldn't be designed to check a box on the list of political correctness.
