Girl (female body) in multiplayer
Devs, is it possible to add a human girl (female body) to multiplayer?
I ask because girls play Forest too, and also if it will be a man it can be fun. :steamhappy:

there will be also fun to spawn as a girl for a guy and aslo it will be fun to play as a cannibal ))

Agreed Mihalych! I didn't think I'd be into the cannibal aspect of this game, but day three and I was eating a leg. :steamhappy: I could get into playing as a cannibal.

It's pretty funny. My boyfriend complained about being "black" in multiplayer, while I'm just sitting around hoping they'll add a female option... someday. For now, I think it's really cool that you can spawn as different characters. Hope we get a choice of character, and hopefully with female options too, as the game comes closer to completion. It's fun having choice and makes it more immersive and including. Just crossing my fingers that if they make females, they'll be realistic ones, and decently clothed. :P The cannibals are obviously wild, but the survivor came from the plane, so it would be immersion breaking to run around in your underwear, ARK style. Speaking of clothing, I hope we see warm furs/boots/armours and the weather element developed further. There's so much potential!

Same.. c:

I am still sitting on the "I am happy that we have multiplayer" corner, as this game was actually planned to be like Subnautica.
Singleplayer and one char only.

I suspect she would have preferred to play a female avatar. I am projecting my personal biases here, of course, but we don't have birds in the game make running water noises. Nor do we have locals speak to us with proper British accents. Not to break immersion, but to facilitate it, female players should be able to choose female avatars. Here, I said it.

YES! Exactly. When i'm not playing a female character i cannot get fully immersed. This game has been pretty interesting and fun to play so far but being misrepresented is abit ehh thats all.

Still though, I am happy we have multiplayer but i would be alot happier with a female character. There are a bunch of different male characters already, it would be nice to have like.. ATLEAST 1 Female you know what i mean?

I dont think anyone disagrees it would be nice for multiplayer, except the "its not realistic for a woman" minority 1-2 players lol. BUT what people seem to not know or disregard as a reason, is that they originally never intended coop, which is why its so rushed. Then they are a small dev team, not as someone compared it to lately, "why its not up to Farcry 5 standards". With the Ubisoft size Dev teams of some 20,000 employees. Who knows how many of those were making that game, but lets say it was definitely not ~11 Devs as is the case at Endnight Games lol. Then they probably had a timetable to keep to as well, VR and PS4 editions to come, etc, so coop was squished into as small a time frame as possible.

For the time they had in general, i think they did a fantastic job of the game. Who knows, maybe the content update probably coming soon, i would think to coincide with the PS4 release Nov 6th, will contain a female character and reworked coop in general, plus many other things.

Sure, but I am not about to demand one.

It's the dev's decision.
If they won't add one it's still a nice game for me.
Similar as Die Young is a nice game for me where I have to play a woman (no male character available).

They had time to make all these male models, including the tuxedo outfits and so on. They made a choice to make all these extra models, and all of them are men, so yes, they didnt plan multiplayer initially, but they made it multiplayer, id be fine with one less male model, id have been fine with just having only the original male model, they can take the time to make a single female model at least, since theyve decided to give us the other models.

Well, all I am saying is that video games shouldn't be a request concert.
Especially if they are said to be "fully-released".


I use quotes on that term as of Ark. XD

The Forest is awesome for me as it is. I won't bother about new models, regardless if they arrive or not, but it surely would be a nice addition for multiplayer.

No disagreement here.

Hey now, it is hilarious to see a grown man in a dress that's like 2 sizes too small, pantyhose and heels included XD
Though I will agree that time could have been better invested elsewhere, like the female model they announced as planned way back in 2015 and then never got around to despite this type of forum popping up every couple of months to remind them about it...Personally I'm fine with it either way, it's a good game and I'm not incredibly concerned what my pixel genitals are in a game, especially in a first person perspective. Though it would be nice to have the option, not having it isn't game breaking for me.
