Bloodwings gender mistake?

[dragon864789]

So if im thinking about this right

Gearbox forgot bloodwings gender for most of the game until he was killed and only fixed it with Lilith and Roland's voice lines to hopefully cover it up, even tho redoing the mistaken lines would of been better?

Cuz I mean , it only make sense, to me anyways..

But bloodwing always look very male to me anyways

on the original game, Bloodwing is male.
the writer, Anthony Burch, for some unknown reason, made Bloodwing female.

They probably forgot the gender but they made up something as a coverup?

It was the exploitation of eridium that caused bloodwing to become a hermaphrodite. So it's both male and female now. Or neither! It's all so confusing.

At some point they jsut said it was a mistake, but that was in the old forums that since then has been taken down ( one of the many services steam offers for the pricecut they take).

But yeah, they forgot about it and accidentally change bloodwings gender, not that it matters much as it is a fictional bird with no sexual identifiers to begin with - its an alien murder bird.

They messed up - as it happens quite often, and tried to retcon it (badly).

I always thought that Bloodwing's species changed sex during their life. It has been a while since I played Borderlands but I think it was mentioned in the Zombie Island DLC at some point.
Some marine fish on Earth are capable of changing sex, so why not an avian on another planet?

^ That. Considering how long blood wing lasts in the game, nothing to get hung up about.

They retconed it (at least twice) after people pointed out that problem. Sadly they also deleted those old forum-pages and i can't find the old tweet about the slag-experinment either. And... we are talking about Pitchforked, Burch and Gearbox... they had tried retconning Zer0s gender several times, only to piss of everybody cause they did not manage to stay consistant at all while simultaniously insulting the fans that asked about that.
(and a lot of information is now also hidden/deleted cause of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ eu-laws for "right to be forgotten" )

[Draekus]

nobody at Gearbox bothered to check continuity.
you know, like they do in movies, tv, stage, etc.
so there's a certain consistency to the Story / Cast / Location, etc.
it is what it is.
