Every class has a Male and Female human, but they have the same abilities and appear to maneuver the same. What is the point of this?

From a story point of view it makes sense, but if all characters are unlocked randomly then unlocking both genders feels like 'doubling up'. I hope male and female are both unlocked as standard in the full game, and personally i would pick the female over the male as she is a smaller target

[Beatrix Tair]

Hitboxes remain relatively the same, don't they?

Still, having male & female unlocked as standard does seem more realistic, honestly & it would be something I'd like to see. I typically don't like playing males in any game (unless it's forced), so I find myself deprived out of the classes with female locked...

I dig the whole unlock process though, keep you playing, the excitement & whatnot remains even after playing for a good length of time, all that jazz. Just might be nice to have both sexes available by default.

Pretty much, I only play male, if there was female only option I wouldn't even think of buying the game.

Either male and females should have different abilities entirely OR you should be able to choose the gender in the character customization screen. My vote goes for separate abilities so you get more variety in gameplay.

Answered in the same post. Since it makes a difference, they separated the two choices. I highly doubt hitboxes are any different between any kind of class. This isnt a per-pixel based game.( well ok i only guessing, since all unreal engines have hitboxes). UT99 had a warcow as a playable character, and it had default hitbox, which was quite funny.

Personally, I'd like to keep female and male Human seperate to make different builds.

I'd like to see male Quarians and female Turians.

[Heidenreich]

They have both, because females play shooters too, and perhaps they don't want their avatars to be male. Even in multiplayer mode.

Le gasp.

[MrChowderClam]

yeah, but you have to unlock both of them. Sounds like they just wanted to make their unlock numbers bigger than they already were. Why not have both male & female unlocked from the beginning? I don't think there are any power differences.

It would be sexist not to let you play as both a male and female human, but it is not sexist to only allow you to play a male drell, krogan, turian or salarian. Aliens aren't people, so they don't count for things like sexism or racism.  And asari are only female because, you know, fan service.

Seeing as you missed the point, there are huge differences between other characters in the same class such as krogan and human. Whereas having 2 different characters only seperated by gender seems very superficial, and redundant with the unlocking system

If Bioware intended it to be like that then i'd rather hear it from someone at bioware as opposed to your insightful post

They are redundant. Very redundant.
There is no reason why they are not simply part of the customization of a character. There's no reason that there would be different characters that you need to unlock. Other than maybe BioWare planning to sell stuff like Male Quarian as DLC. Which would not surprise me in the slightest.

[vladgd]

my theory.

in the single player game, you can play a male or female version of sheppard. in the multiplayer, they give you male and female human options since people have preference to one or the other.

i played a femshep, and i would prefer the female human option over the male.

[cronshaw8]

The poster and others are correct if there is no difference in skill then the male/female option could be part of the customization for all races/classes. Perhaps it is a technical issue? I don't really know anything about game design but perhaps it was easier to make them classes instead of making the sex customize-able.

[mitthrawuodo]

If you feel you've made a mistake in the first gender you can start again with the other

[Sylvianus]

Options to choose your gender, is cool, simple. I want to play a human female with an adepte, and a human male with my soldier. Why does it bother you ? Bioware know many female gamers play in this franchise, and many male gamers play female characters too. It is an option, no more. I am glad they did that.

The OP isn't saying he/she doesn't want to be able to choose a sex. They are saying if there is no difference in skills then they should not be separate classes. Male and female soldiers both have the exact same skills. Instead of making them separate you could create a "sex" choice in the customization screen and then have room for a whole other type of soldier.

That's the thing. Why would their training be any different based on gender? It's simply an option, nothing more.

Yes realistically that makes more sense. Male and female soldiers would recive the same training. But from a video game standpoint it reduces options

Fair enough.

[kumquats]

It's the same point like wearing a thrilling hat in TF2.
There is no point, but I love it.
