Female Dwarves?

[Bweer]

I remember way back close to when I got this game there was a roadmap for development with Female Dwarves on it, are they still planned for DRG?

Oh boy, here we go again....

There are female dwarves, they just have deep voices, long beards, and a beer gut

I love the game as it is, but my sister isn't interested unless there are girl dwarves. So I figured I could ask, since I'd like her to play.

It's 2022 just say your dwarf identifies as a dwarfette.

They're feminine by dwarven standards

I want to play DRG with my sister, but she'll only get the game if there are feminine dwarves. I remembered them being on the dev roadmap back near the start, but they aren't in the game. I just was wondering if they were still planned to be added or not

It got canned. It was a plan that the devteam admitted to making too hastily.

Sorry, guess it's not the right game for your sister.

Well, tell her to pretend lol.

Doesn’t sound like she has any real interest in the game if the only thing holding her back is the lack of female dwarves.

Unfortunately my sister's standards are closer to American rather than Dwarven, lol

Ah, thanks for that info! Still a great game IMO, her loss.

They're American dwarves. European dwarves have thicker beards

Short answer: No/Unlikely

Long answer:

https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Development_Q%26A

Q: Female playable dwarves
A: Sadly, addressing this properly requires an extensive update of their rigging system, so the chances are slim

Q: Models and voices for female dwarves
A: Not a "no", but unlikely; they've made a mistake of building a system around only one model, and it costs a lot of work to fix it
Dev Stream 11.08.2022

Q: Female dwarves
A: They wanted to do it initially, but the way their models are set up makes adding a new body type a tremendous task; lesson learned

It was only ever on the roadmap in the "And then maybe..." section to be fair.

If she can't look past the models of the character she plays, she shouldn't play the game in the first place. It's very shallow tbh.
