OK, well what about female batarians. OR wait a female geth. Female Geth? Do they even exist?....

[Pockles]

Thread title isn't representative. There are male players who prefer using female characters. They would be getting a raw deal too.

Don't forget quarians.

By their very definition, no.

Gender exists & serves only for the sole purpose of reproduction. Geth do not have sexual reproduction, they reproduce through manfucaturing mobile platforms (geth) and then digitally creating the code / software that is housed in that platform, etc... thus they are genderless.

Also, before anyone suggests it.. (cus I know you people are out there somewhere, lurking.. skulking..  )... simply "attaching" certain simulated pieces of anatomy to a geth wouldn't give it gender any more than attaching silicone breasts to a mannequin would make it an actual female... it is still just a mannequin designed to look like a woman, but is otherwise without gender.

And humans.  Seriously, if they are going to all the trouble of making this thing, then they should give the players as many choices as possible.

Not quite. Geth are nothing more than computer programs. Platforms and such are just tools and vehicles. Geth can come and go between them as they please.

Ahem.

I would think players to have expected humans to be available out of all.

How sexist! Not including fictional female alien races, they should be ashamed!

I'm not saying it's sexist, just disappointing.

Why not Female Geth? All it would take is for the Geth to decide Metropolis was a cool movie...

 All this talk of "female geth" is reminding me a bit too much about a particular robot in Fallout New Vegas.

If you insist... 



(not my video, just did a quick youtube search and grabbed the first result)

I freaked out and shutdown the game when I stumbled onto that for the first time.... was totally not prepared for it.. I think I must've been cowering in the other room for minute or two before I could go back to my computer room

female Salarians

Could we even tell them apart from males?

Krogan,

Don't know if they leave Tuchanka often. Maybe they do, but we've only ever seen one. And we know the female krogan tend to live in camps so they can be protected.

Turians

Probably the easiest. You'd really only need a texture change for the head.

Other than that. You'll have female Humans, female Quarians and Asari all availible. More options are always nice I suppose.

[Gabey5]

asari or human are still playable

salarian and krogan females do not leave home

I hope we at least get turians. And salarians I doubt even look that much different- maybe a brighter texture and a female VA? Bam.

Krogans will probably stay all male, if anything. They're a deccent balance to an all female asari.

I still wonder if female batarians have as many breasts as they have eyes...

Just a random thought.

Well, considering they're ignoring their own lore because females of the othe races aren't "sexy" in the typical sense...

... Yep.  Sexism.  Perhaps not intentionally, but the "no boobs, no dice" rule gets on my nerves.

You like it.  Admit it.

Although actually designing them like that would be both disturbing and hilarious.

"Hey guys, can I join your co-op mission?"

"Maybe.  We're trying to balance our collective skillset.  What class are you playing?"

"Batarian sentinel."

"Ooh, perfect!"

"Female batarian sentinel."

*long silence*

"... No.  Get the f*ck out.

Experienced somethin sort of related to this last week at work while visiting the break room... A couple of the guys where I work were huddled around their Xbox360 playing some Co-op Gears of War 3. Figured I'd watch them play a bit since I'm just a pc gamer and I was curious about the game.

Anyhow, they were playing sometype of co-op and one of the players could (or had to? not sure) play as a female character in the game.... they literally start arguing (at first playfully) about who should / had to play as the 'chick'... they were, for all intents and purposes, arguing who was the less "manly man" to determine who was stuck playing as the female character.

They finally decided Daniel was 'stuck' with playing the female character..... but suddenly throws a tirade right there, says "F-- this, I'm not playing as some girl. Amy can take my spot," then he shoves the controller in my hand and storms out of the room, LOL. 

I declined to play (dont know how to play with a game controller) but I was rather taken aback by his reaction to the idea of having to play as a female character (I still don't even know if it was optional or mandatory to play as a female character)... it seemed to be offending his very "manhood" to suggest he play a female character in the game.

To my point though... do you think this attitude amongst (some) men might have something to do with why Bioware may not give the option to choose gender in multiplayer (severely restrict) from a strictly cost / benefit perspective?

I have little experience interacting with / observing male gamers unfortunately so I'm not sure how prevalent this notion of playing as a female being undesireable / unwanted may be amongst them. Yet perhaps Bioware believes a majority of men don't / won't play a female so it isn't really worthwhile to spend additional time & resources providing more flexible options when it comes to species + gender options.

I dunno... just tossing around stuff that's rolling around in my brain over here.
