Character selection

[Tee Wrex]

Could we please have multiple characters to select for each class? Absolutely nothing against women in video games but I would like to play as a man as the heavy, as a female makes no sense and doesn't make me feel badass for that role. Maybe have the option to choose a male/female for every class?

The characters are in the classes they are for a reason, and imo it wouldn't make much sense to switch them about.

Jurgen and Ortega are ex-military/paramilitary so they're Troopers.
Amir is an ex-detective with the Miami PD with an expertise in light arms and tactics so he's an Operative.
Rosy was a heavy-lifter on her family's plantation and has an exosuit, Enforcer.

Admittedly, Rosy's reasoning is pretty poor other than just she has an exosuit and is "big", but it wouldn't make sense for frail old-man Jurgen to lug around that behemoth of a Minigun or Rocket Launcher as an example.

So give us a big dude as well? You want to be equal? Why not give us a big dude as well as a big woman? Or just a big woman but scrawny men makes sense? I want to feel like a badass, not a mama figure as she feels with her squad and mini gun.

What are you talking about? Please actually read what I said.

And no, it makes just as little sense. Muscle man wouldn't be able to do jack with that gun without also having an exosuit.

The cherry on the cake is that this is a first person game, you don't see the character you're playing as, so...

With selectable outfits and emotes that put you in third-person.

I don't care what type of characters are added; this is just a weird disagreement against customization.

I'm not disagreeing with customization, I'm stating another reason that people complaining about playing as muh wahmen are being kind of ridiculous. And then they go and complain "Well why don't you just add a male character" after being told multiple times that new characters are coming in the future.

It gets kind of annoying seeing the same insignificant topic that has been answered time and time again get brought back to the front page every other week. Out of the list of issues this game currently has, "I want to play as a different gender >:c" is the least important of them all.

I respect your frustrations, I do; and I agree to the notion this game certainly has a priority list of issues that need to be addressed. Cosmetics being the least of it's major concerns.

It's also important to note if the same topic keeps being brought up, to the front page, time and time again. It's clearly of interest to some people. Types of characters to the potential future of characters archetype is Feedback. Relevent and integral to the games success? Goodness, no, not at all; but Feedback is Feedback. Note the interest. Then let people argue about how canonically it doesn't make sense in a game about blowing up radioactive raptors to have x/y/z in it.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a bi-pedal sentient platypus, specializing in duel wielding flaming nunchaku, that also moonlights as a line-cook in the last surviving Space Waffle House.

But I digress.

OK, you lost me on Waffle.

Don't disrespect Space Waffle House. You'd learn a plethora of important life skills working there: personal responsibility, time management, respect of the chain of command, the perfect ratio of flour to baking powder mixture, and the ancient, esoteric, art of flambé-bâton de spinny.

How in the heck can you not feel like you kick butt playing as Rosy? She's awesome.

Personally I'm tired of the stereotypical "muscle bound male hero" in games. I'd be happy if they added everything but that. I know a lot of players might want that but maybe they should consider how amazing characters like Rosy are, suit up and get out there with her and kick some dino tail. Seriously, she's fantastic.

Space Waffle House is the ONLY waffle house worth visiting. I'll take a double stack of extra crunchy half-wheat supersize pancakes with Space Syrup (tm) every time.

That's a pretty lame cherry then, it's not just seeing her but hearing her voice, talking about her team/gun as if they're her babies, what the actual fu*k?! I wanna tear sh*t up fighting dinos! Playing as a mama type woman really kills the badass-ery for me.

But hey, if you want your character to sound like a mama then pick her in your loudout, you do you girl.

It's all good though as they've added in the Kiwi Jack! Makes way more sense playing with this big Islander dude!

Hi team! Thank you so much for adding in Jack! He feels way more badass!
