Can I play as a woman or a a refugee?
I see the main character is an old white dude, and I find the concept of the game quite smart and interesting. However, I think there are other aspects of the tough life of a being hobo, which could be only captured by playing a woman (risk of rap at night maybe higher), or a refugee (subject to racism from other hobos).

I think if you have a "risk of rap at night" you'll have noise complaints from all the loud music. :CunningPepe:

Do you mean playing as a black hobo if your concerned about the rap?

No you can't play as a woman, because we are small team with limited resources and it is not that easy to make (proper animations, model etc.). Maybe in the future

I had to write rap because the word "rape" is censored. This was more targeted towards female hoboes.

What I meant is hoboes who are refugees, so not necessarily black hoboes, but these are people living on a matress on the street, and they have nothing to do while the state administration is making a decision regarding their refugee status. So they are living a tough life on the street, like a hobo, even though they don't live on the street for the same reasons as the more common hoboes. One would have to go to refugee associations and inquire about the slow pace of administration, etc. More importantly, there would be racism issues, fights with other hoboes, right-wing anti-refugee associations, etc.

Just an idea since the game is in Early Access.

The "refugees" (invaders more like) I know of usually get government housing, money, and the adoration of the bleeding hearts lefties. The whole racism thing cuts both ways and to think that these "refugees" are pure and innocent is absurd.

Now I know this could possably kick off a crapstorm from opposing views, but this is just mine :)

Funny.
You send fighting age men to invade, which is what 99% of them are charlesberg.
Very few are legitimate women or children, we've seen 40 year old arabs pretending to be as young as 11 and 12 and getting asylum.

Are you legitimatly asking for proof about something your claiming to know about? "I wouldn't quite call them invaders".

But heres your proof.

https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-08-09/europe-s-wave-of-migration-brought-too-many-men

You can find more, but that's just from page 1. If you go to image search for newly arrived "refugees" you'll see they're all physically fit men that are capable of military service.

Just a few choice quotes from those articles "This helps to clarify why so many of Europe’s newcomers are young men. Of 102,753 registered arrivals through Italy and Greece, the International Organization of Migration found that 68,085 were men, with only 13,888 women and 20,780 children. At both the Hungary-Croatia border and the Serbia-Croatia border, I saw a noticeable majority of men, though it was nearly impossible to take a photograph without capturing at least one woman or child in the background."

Then we have idiots like Megan McArdle who advocate for importing "More" while she lives in an area that will never be effected by all the multiculturalism she's encouraging.
"Europe's Wave of Migration Brought Too Many Men
Or too few female refugees. More immigration could solve the problem."

I trust you know about the spikes in violent and sexual crime, so I wont bother going into detail about that unless you ask me.

Also, the thing about refugee status is, you MUST BY LAW settle in the first SAFE country you get to. A good portion of these people claim they're fleeing the fighting in Syria, but they themselves are subsaharan Africans who didn't come from Syria at all, so clearly didn't flee the fighting.

A lot of them get to Turkey, but since Turkey doesn't give out free homes, free cars and free huge cash sums for being a "refugee" they leave Turkey to go to Britian, Germany, Sweden or France, since they offer a better economic insentive.

When these people get to a new host country, most don't even work. They can't. Since they'll refuse to learn whatever language the host country speaks, or just not be able to. This means you now have millions more people who you cannot conventionally communicate with (language barriers) who are soaking up tax payer money and causing a lot of crime.

http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/745147/million-immigrants-Germany-few-find-jobs-migrant-crisis

Only 2.8% of the 1.2 million that arrived in 2015 and 2016 even bothered to look for work. A lot of those probably are no longer in that employment since you get paid far better on the dole than you would a minimum wage job in Germany.

Migrants also reproduce faster than ALL the native countries of Europe. (Syrians are 2.9 children per woman on average, Somalians are 6.4 meanwhile Britian is 1.8 and Sweden is 1.9) Countries who's native populations are already facing decline due to lower sperm counts in adult men and an increased financial strain when raising children.

Now please, tell me again how it isn't an invasion when all the factual data on it looks just like that.

Thanks, I guess I was wrong. Good day to you

I'm rather new so I don't know how to access the other characters. I though one of them was a Woman but I looked again and they are all Dudes.
On that note, do you need to complete the game as King once to unlock the other characters?

Same. I'm so sick of having to play as a male if I want to play survival games.
