Female playable character

[The Chocobo Racer]

Can we get a female playable character in Sons of the Forest?

[BORG]

They're not going to do that. Maybe they'll go out on a limb to do it, but I highly doubt it. It's a game about a dad and his sons not a mom and her daughters.

they already confirmed its possible for "delays of the forest" that you can choose gender. no char customization tough its not worth adding that as game is only 1st person still.

there is even a female npc helping you now. and modern firearms like shotgun and magnums and a nightvision device.

Last I checked, the game's story is based around a father and his sons and not a mother and her sons. Maybe if the story were based around a mother and her sons it would fit, but it's not.

Asking for a female lead character in SOTF that is based on and centred around a father and his sons would be like someone requesting Laura Croft be replaced by a man, in Tomb Raider. Would it make any sense? No, it would not.

I don't think they update this game anymore as the devs appear to be all hands on deck for "Sons of The Forest". Maybe mods can do it in future, or a surprise update straight out of nowhere.

Except Tomb Raider has historically been about Laura Croft, and The Forest has always had a faceless protagonist. It's more like asking for a female protagonist for a Doom game, or a female protagonist for Subnautica. Its QOL man, you sound sexist

Lara, not Laura.

The father isn't faceless. You can even see him on a cover. Fathers are usually male.

Its literally a game about building a base and (likely) eating people.
This is superficial.

they are developing a female follower that has about 5 times as much development behind it than all of the male characters together in the first title so it wouldnt be too surprising if they release female playable characters when theyve already developed the animations, textures, mesh and potentially physics for female models

basically the bread and butter to fulfill your wishes exist already, only thing that remains is their word on it or waiting for release.

rather impossible that they havent planned that far ahead already but they seem completely mute when it comes to communication or just using the lack of funds as an excuse to build hype through leaving people to speculate for themselves or if people might be massively dissapointed in the sequel because theyre after all just simply using an upgraded version of the same engine as The Forest so i wouldnt keep my hopes up too much.

the sequel is really going to be a make or break situation for them

I complained once to the makers of PacMan about me not having the option of being mario or luigi from mario bros, because that wasn't fair...but they just didn't listen to me.

what a long way weve come, right ?

blowing into disks of old consoles and applying multiple disks in different external floppy drives to receiving automatically installed updates that works without checking which disk is disk1, disk2, disk3 or disk4 in order to receive the appripriate installment files in appropriate order whilst not even needing to write down command lines to navigate the OS

could you imagine that +20 years ago playing mario ? Quake ? UT or counter-strike up until 1.3 where we had no choise but to seek out our own clan wars manually over iRC @ Quakenet and climb the worldwide ranking on clanbase.org compared to now, everything is automated with all pre-recorded equivalent of the .dem for CW reviews.

we dont even need to do anything anymore, automatically generated teams based on automatically applied rating and even modifications being installed automically, we get to meet the developers over discord to exhange word with them and provide feedback if not even get to beta test games without being a trusted asset of the company who keeps a few spare keys for friends and family.

oh how things evolve, even mod developers creating characters and physics from the very foundation but expecting a character model from the developers themselves ? oh my, oh no!
