What's with the 90% female cast?

A lot of characters are unfinished or in a placeholder state, so that's probably part of it, but I feel like it might also be to contrast from Zagreus' experience, which was about a more masculine relationship between father and son.

I think your math's a bit off. Odysseus and Skelly are right there you know.

That would seem like a fair answer

The cast is a bit more balanced than 90%. Maybe closer to 60? From what I've counted, anyway, I don't think I've met just everybody yet, though.

[CacaFresca]

I count no less than a dozen Male characters... Odysseus, Schelemeus, Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo, Moros, Hermes, Hephaestus, Icarus, Narcissus, Hypnos, Hercules

I'm pretty sure I missed a couple too. That was just off the top of my head.


Oh yeah.. Add Charon to that list

[Lahoo Eckbert]

Coz my bigoted friend the 5% of the playerbase who are females need representation.

While being a (white) man definitely seems to be close to a sin these days.

That said, there are just a lot of female gods. I'm already surprised the characters actually have good and fun dialogue instead of the current marvel/Hollywood type cringe of bastardizing and belittling men. I genuinely expected Melinoe to have "life is strange" type character and thank the lord she's very likeable and so far seems very similar to her brother.

That said i'm only 7 hours in, so praying that they aren't gonna be turbo DEI cringe.

You forgot Aphrodite

[Jumeo]

I'm 13 hours in, and so far the cast is:
female: Melinoe, Hecate, Nemesis, Dora and Eris in the Crossroads, with Selene, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hestia, Demeter and Arachne you can meet outside - 11 in total

male: Odysseus, Hypnos, Skelly and Moros in the hub region and Charon, Zeus, Poseidon, Hephaestos, Apollo, Hermes and Chronos outside - 11 in total

and Chaos is of course just doing their own thing lol

While this game has a clear focus on sisterhood and witchcraft, it is not a "90% female cast" and there's bound to be plenty more characters considering I haven't even made it far into the story yet.

Are the NPC's genders a problem for you?

I hope someone's paying you to say this stuff. Doing it for free is a lil sad.

What about the ones you interact everytime you're in the homebase?

[Asitis]

Plus Witches, generally in popular fiction they're women. Not that you really expect an answer :')

Tell me you're not good at math without telling me you're not good at math.

Tell me you're a bigot without telling me you're a bigot.

Wow, two at once!
