Please add female customisation to the game

[psychicpebbles]

This might be a controversial take but space marines 2 needs women with lore accurate armour and hair-dos, I think this would greatly increase the customisation and the ability to associate myself with the characters I'm playing as. As I want to be a space marine who's also a woman.

Many people would say

But I think this would really break the mold in gaming which is clearly male character dominated. Giving us an option to change our characters gender with a click of a button is required in 2024.

Rockstar Games lets you play as a woman in Red Dead Redemption 2 so I can't see why we couldn't play this.

Even Helldivers 2 has female options for characters.

Reasons why female space marines are lore friendly -

They're literally identical to male counterparts when it comes to modifying them genetically.There's been multiple concept art creations of female space marines by Rick Priestley who is the creator of the Warhammer franchise. There's female empress which can create female space marines from her genetics. Allowing for canon and lore friendly female characters.

The real reason for there not being female space marines and Astartes is because there wasn't a market for them then, like there is now. They used the "lore" to justify the reason why they couldn't afford to produce figurines of female models.

Please don't call me a tourist as I'm fully aware of the lore implications this has, and it has been already covered in depth that female space marines can and will exist.

This is clearly wrong as you haven't read the newly updated lore in the latest release.

Custodes are living statues who do not get to see combat or get deployed in theaters of war only in rare once in a century situations AND always against Demonic hordes of Exterminatus level events

There are female custodes. There are no Female Space marines in any of the 1000+ chapters.

why wasn't this added basegame anyway? it's 2024 and we're forgetting basic character creation?

Explain. Convince me that female space marines CAN and WILL exist?

And I hope you will read this wiki about the "gene-seed"
https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Gene-Seed

You provided me with a fanfiction site of warhammer written by non-official source, Please provide me the actual written source for this instead of a 'fandom' site.

what you expect does not matter when the lore states that it is not possible.

this is not an original IP of the developers, everything they add to the game has to be greenlit by the IP owner so even if the developers wanted to add female space marines they can not do it until games workshop allows them to do so which will not happen untill they officially add female space marines to the lore.

(which hopefully never happens)

The lore stated the Horus Heresy was impossible until they retconned everything and made the Horus Heresy happen anyway.

You're actually a tourist if you aren't aware of the fact that 40k gets retconned constantly from the tiniest details up to the most monumental moments in the setting.

its like you would have not even read my comment in its entirety lol

and as i already wrote that will hopefully never happen

If the sex or the gender of the character you control is too much of an issue for you maybe you shouldn't play the game. And believe me if you were a man and made a similar post under Hellblade forums my response to you would the same, if not a lot harsher.

This has nothing to do with being a specific gender, it's about me paying for the Ultra Edition of the game and expecting more customisation that were given to us. I expected to be able to play as a female character and this has clearly left a sour taste in my mouth. In 2024 we should be able to play as what we want and who we please, especially after paying for the game.

Maybe you shouldn't throw money at something you don't even know anything about. I also don't throw 80k on a Mercedes and expect it to be a BMW.
Ask for a refund if the games not your thing.

The gene seed BY lore will kill a women outright. Genetically their brains will reject it and go into catastrophic full organ and neural failure
