Is the character a slightly overweight dude or a flabby chested gal?

[KamikazeF0X]

It's a stupid and pointless question, I know!

[Mansen]

Yes.

[Tomtommer]

It's a girl.

[Thorin]

Yes, intentionally unclear.

So you cant play with a male character model? Theres only the one?

Why do devs keep doing this. Give options, or make the default fit-male. Its so annoying being forced into a gender identity you dont want to play as.

They're going to be adding character customisation eventually, but it is far, FAR from the most important thing at the moment. Anyway, considering the game is almost entirely 1st person anyway, it's a non-issue.

Also, make the default male? That presents the same issue of people 'being forced into a gender you don't want to play as'

This post can't have been made seriously... the irony is so strong it must be a joke. Not to mention the alleged concern over something so meaningless to the game.

Oh christ ... "forced into gender identity" in a factory building game, really? Whats next? Tetris no identity rage?

[Mansen]

It gets worse, Kierwynn. The studio is full of *gasp* open minded people who are bisexual and other dangerous things.

[KamikazeF0X]

Oh, it makes more sense now! Because I was like "It's surely a woman, but if it was a dude, it's the weirdest body shape I could think of"
Well, it's not quite important anyways XD

Nope. No customization, and no male character model.

I'm pretty sure the protagonist is some sort of robot, gynoid or a synth, though.

Your chracter aren't you, it is a puppet you control. The puppet can be anything.

if you want that, play literally any other game.

But yep folks, it's a woman. Most of our games' lead protagonists are. In fact we have only had 1 male protagonist (Haigen from Sanctum 2) aside from the dolphin, camel, flamingo in the payday DLC for goat simulator. The rest are female (yes the goat, too).

If i may. Your identity in this game is, like, you are what you build. The avatar is just a tool. So be efficient bois and gurls and whoever you are out there these days.
