Character select?
Why the last minute female protagonist change?

This change was dictated by the direction that we wanted our story to go in. We also realized that our narrative would be built better around a female character.

By the way, Walter may return in the future as a character.

The game looks great btw, I'm very much a choice kind of person, especially If I'm going to be this involved playing so I hope we eventually get choice, thanks for replying.

I kept looking EVERY where why the male character was gone and I thought it was just the devs showing a choice option, bum out the take away that awesome male character.

I feel like its months of a connection randomly snatched away.

Yeah, I think I didn't really "Look" into it because I thought you guys were just showing off an alternate male/female choice I didn't think the male MC would be completely taken away. Thanks for the info - also read you'll add him back i'll def wait for his return to pick the game up.

An option would have been better.

Walter needs to be back. He needs to be playable. He needs to be the choice him or the girl.

Such a bad conduction of the game.
It seems to be a trend among game developers to push this "empowered strong whamen" as protagonists, it just makes people get away from the game because of ridiculous political statements.

isn't what you're doing the same thing but for a male? Dying light 2 is having this issue with people asking for a female, devs can't win, simple.

I think it's different as the people who were following this game had been playing walter, It's like suddenly changing Samus into a Male character, but they might bring Walter back so we'll see i guess.
