Characters choice?
Hi guys. I love the game. I bought more than year ago and I love it since. We have tre story mode now here. I red somewhere there will be a character choice male or female. But I dont have any choice like that. Was this feature removed? Or there will be this option available later?

Wintermute you play Will in Episodes 1 & 2, Astrid in Episode 3, and I believe we play both, on and off, in Episodes 4 & 5. (I could be wrong about Episodes 3-5, Hinterland, please correct e me if I am remembering that incorrectly. 2 days with almost no sleep, and coffee just is not cutting it right now...)

Not sure where you heard Story Mode would have character choices. Survival Mode does though.

There is a choice every time you play survival/sandbox. Not sure what you're talking about

Will it be realistic about the male/female characters?

I assume femal would carry less weigh, and has less change in hand-to-paw combat, but could use less callories per day and maybe sprint a bit faster?

Maybe more starting skills like sewing, cooking on level 3?

Is anything like that implemented (in sandbox too?)

Nope. and highly unlikely to happen either, though I get what you're getting at but no.

So the selection of carrecter is purly cosmetic, just the voice we hear (and in-inventory view of character)? Well, such change here would be my wish then, maybe one day.

as is the case with most games, yes. If they made the characters different you'd probably have some PC SJW's screaming about inequality.

Thats disapointing, Astrid is a medic she should have better knowledge about treating wounds and infection. I don't see why they couldn't add this and balancing it with, for example, less carry wait and limitation on phisical activities.
Hi Reklamny, Wintermute has two playable characters, each with their own Episodes. The first two Episodes are from Will's perspective, but Astrid's will come!

In survival mode you can select whether your survivor is masculine or feminine.

Everyone please avoid making comments about "SJW's" and other off-topic, prone to flaming remarks as they are not helpful to the discussion and tend to derail threads.
