Dont let this stop you from getting the game! Its a good game just get it

no, you can't because the protaganist is supposed to be the father of his son, the character has backstory and theres no point in changing that. The game also spawns you in as a random dude each time which is cool. Also if you really want to look like a female, and I mean really want, you can get the axe and slice up that lady on the plane and where her clothes. But don't let this small thing stop you this game IS AMAZING

You dont see youself 99% of the time so it doesnt matter...

why do you even need it in the first place ? nothing's going to change if they will add the female character . plus devs would need to spend time and change the cut scenes and there is definitely more important things/bugs to work on.

I don’t understand the knee jerk reaction so many people have against this type of request. While the story mode has a male protagonist, who is an actual character, I think it would be a good idea to add a female character (or maybe a few) to multiplayer. Maybe while we’re at it we can choose which model we spawn as! They already have the assets for the current models, so as far as that goes, they would only need to add a system to let you choose your given model.

There isnt really a "knee jerk reaction" its just a minority of players who ask for it and u wont see it if they did implement it. More feminine hands is all u would see and then different female sounds lol. Otherwise it would have to be MP in which friends might see u, if they even care what character u are to look at. So thats the reason why a minority of people reply with just a question, "Why bother, is it worth it?".

Endnight games have already stated its a LOT of work and we can also assume they have many other things to do as a small team of around 11 employees (according to their LinkedIN page). I am in no way against it, i just understand where they are coming from and i dont under estimate the work involved. Whereas many do think its a 1 day/week job or only requires 1 employee. Without thinking they have other things to do for such a small team! Watch the credits and see how few names are mentioned and i dont think half of them work at the studio. They are out sourced help as far as i remember. However there is a "content patch" coming sometime soon and who knows a female player may be in there...

well its pretty simple - will play a gam with a female protagonist wont if its male Ill igve it a go if they change it.
If you like playing games without the role play element, or imagining some depth to your charecter - that's up to you, but not how I play.

I second this.

As for knee jerk reactions like this, hard to say. In some circles it seems merely acknowledging the existence of females utterly freaks people out or damages their sense of self-worth somehow. There's definitely a degree of narcissim at play given how it comes out in every argument I ever see against a topic that should be trivial.

I think the picture that we discussed before and that has been mentioned many times, thats on the Wiki, is a photo shopped "representation" of what a female character might look like. Ive looked through the files again and still am. I still have yet to see this female character in there. Just saying for your info, as they may not have even got that started yet, never mind all the other stuff to go with it. So these people saying, "Well they have the model finish it". Its not the case... however, the new "Content update" probably coming near/before the PS4 release, u never know, might have that option! :steamhappy:

If i do find it, although i doubt i will, i will let u know. :thumbalift:

I don't want to speak for the devs but I feel that it could possibly be in the works. Wouldn't it be strange that they went out of their way to make a model of a male character wearing the stewardess uniform, but wouldn't do the same for an eventual female player model?
AimsKey Sep 7, 2018 @ 11:50am 
Who knows, but i did say a few times now. They have a "Content update" coming and im guessing in time for the PS4 release. It might be in there.....?
brendieellen Sep 7, 2018 @ 3:31pm 
There are what--three male characters, even though half of the world's population is females?

I am looking forward to a female character.
BrigadierRosen Sep 8, 2018 @ 5:50am 
Story is based around father and son.

asks for female characters.

doesn't see female features.

proceeds to whinge about no third person view.

repeat with new pointless whine and whinge.

Only the odd occasional person is saying "its not realistic, thats why there isnt one", but otherwise no one disagrees. I hope they do add a bit more customisation if its not too complex for them to program it. If it is too complex for full customisation, then just simplify it with 3 female 3 male choices. Hopefully they will do for you ladies, but dont let that taint ur experience or stop u playing a great game. :)

Dont forget they are a VERY small dev team who started with only about 4-5 employees and now maybe up to 11 + external hired help. They havent specified their actual number of employees. Developers like DICE have 640 employees or Ubisoft 14,000 for comparison! lol
