Can you play as a female dwarf?

[WiseCog]

Can you play as a female dwarf? My wife and I thought of buying the game and play Lan but unless she can play as female we wont buy it.

If the answer is NO. Please add that, you are loosing some some buyers without that most obvious modern option.

For now you cant, but there are purple beards avaible

Hard to say if any of the dwarves are men or women, dwarves probably use masculine pronouns because even their women are more masculine than the average human man

[<#FF69B4>Robin ;3]

female dwarves look exactly the same as male dwarves,
and they refer to each other as men as Geck0 said (discworld)

To expand... Do any dwarf have a female voice, do they look female? In tolkiens world (the one who started the first dwarf race) for example, dwarven women look and sound female but are rare to come across. Like the women in the hobbit didn't have beard and looked and sounded like a women.

Since there are no female dwarfs my wife and I will wait until devs add it. If not, well that's a shame but there are more games out there to coop.

Thanks for all the answers people.

Okay there are no explicitly female dwarves. You'd be better off playing payday 2 if you want to play an explicitly female character in a pve game, but it's pretty different to drg.

Fine, he was not the inventor of the mining dwarfs in general. But he streamlined them, he made them known for almost everyone everyone. The modern "fantasy" dwarven race was his creation though. Then many other different versions came, like D&D and Discworld, but they all followed his version (except for how dwarf women are portrayed).

The. The women have deeper voices, and often don't have beards.

No offense intended but I wonder how a game would be more fun if it clearly has female characters or not. It is not an RPG and the voice-overs, though funny, do not really add to the gameplay.

Yeah, but it bothers some people, and that's fine so long as they aren't annoying about it.

You're gonna have a bad time being immersed in this game anyway, the art style is intentionally unrealistic, the sound design is cartoonish (in a good way), and the gameplay itself is pretty arcadey

Perhaps. I liked that it was FPS with RPG features. Hard to find that with lan nowadays. Most multiplayer games need internet connection all the time.
