No character creation?

No character creation? no sale. Some of us like the choice of a female protagonist, instead of having yet another generic pre-made male hero. Before you say 90% of all gamers are male, let me just stop you right there, and say Wrong. 45% of gamers in america are female, and its in the 40% range in the European markets as well (look it up). Wake up Dev, you put all the work into the game, but you are lazy on the thing many enjoy.. character creation.

This is the story of Aiden, enough said.
At most they could make Aideine or something and change pronouns but not a character creation.

meh this character is pretty generic. i dont have problem with premade character when they have a real story background et personality

but aiden is really this generic character, and most of the people call him the pilgrim so

I love Aiden, males are cool.

I’m a male and if given a choice always play a female. However, if that isn’t the game design then I roll with it.

That statistic u put out is for all games including mobile
Find the statistic for survival adventure games and u'll see the female percentage drop to 10% max

There's no Character Creation, because this is a pre-set story following a specific character.

Want to pick your own custom character, go play any sort of RPG.

And? Doesn't mean all games NEED to offer it. Sure it's call Far Cry have it on offer. but at the end of the day- Devs shouldn't be forced to give every whiny baby special treatment.

Should I go into the Tomb Raider forums and whine we're forced to play a Female protagonist? How about Control?

Why don't I cry im Butthurt that I'm forced to play some girl?

That's funny, I looked on the Control, Horizon Zero Dawn, Tomb Raider, The Medium, Half-Life Alyx, Resident Evil 2 and 3 and Hellblade forums(got tired and quit at that point) and I didn't see you complaining about "Character Creation" there?

It's pretty ridiculous, a developer makes a creative decision to have a male main character these days and there's always someone who gets their panties in a bunch over it.
