There will be female minions?

[SuperCreepy]

In the trailer at the 0.50 you can see a tough female guard patrolling with another male guard

Cool, i hadn't noticed that.

I hope they expand on that with a variety of models per minion type. Got a bit samey all the minions looking so similar for each type.

So long as it's still obvious what minion does what specialism then should be fine.

I actually wonder if they will simplify the minion types down to just Basic construction, military, science, social and remove the subtiers tiers within them (technician, scientist etc). Colour coding them would solve the problem above with multiple character models.

They could simulate the tiers by different equipment types or room equipment needed for a specialism (scientists need a science bench, snipers need dedicated rifle racks etc) with them gaining experience in various tasks as they do them that gives a bonus at certain thresholds (although tracking that could become a pain unless you can manually set a minion to a task - that's a possibility and opens up setting up guard routes etc).

Not sure how i'd feel about that if that was the case, on the one hand would solve the training room equipment bloat you would end up with but on the other hand that was one of the charms of the first.

Noticed that too and I have mixed feelings about that. I would love it if they had separate upgrade trees or at least stats, females being better at social skills and males having higher strength/health. Like, female versions of valets would be better at distracting agents, maybe even luring them into traps, while males could be better at repairing equipment etc. Otherwise it feels a bit like forced pandering, at least in the context of mindless minion army. I'm an evil genius, dammit, not an equal opportunity employer.

It's not really a big deal in a silly game. As long as the character designs are well-done, it's not relevant.

[TVMAN]

Considering how high minion attrition rates can be, it'd be silly if you only recruited replacements from 50% of the population.

Pretty sure I saw a female worker too? I'll rewatch it, but I'm all for some gender equality in my minion work force.

theres a trailer commentary explaining that there will be female and male minions

[WhiteChewy]

They indicated gender and race will be randomly generated, for both minions and agents

They are two female minions on the stairs. That's cool. I wonder if they would be animals?. I would love a guard dog.

One thing I am glad that they are doing at LEAST is making sure that regardless of gender they look the part.

It is annoying to have the BIG BRUISERS and their female counterpart... Pasta Arm Betty.

Or just as bad having the men look all silly and the women looking completely straight laced... just make them seem completely out of place.

Want a good counter to a James Bond? How about a Carmen Sandiago? (example)

I also hope that they don't EXACTLY hide from the sexuality. They don't have to go as far as the first game (Which was hardly extreme)... but The Fatales are kind of a big part of spy fiction (and hey, I'd love to see a good Male Fatale)

i see them now, female minions. cant wait to have them in my base :D

also spot them in the white corridor area. in green outfits. nice o/

As long they do their job and allow me to conquer the earth.
I am happy with female / male workers.

[Fighting-Priest]

On the website in a developer diary sorta talk they said that it will be generated for agents and minions so they will come out both male and female.

[Grug]

I'm cool with agents and minions of male and female. I'm also cool with random race for minions but I prefer agents be the race of the countries they represent. Part of the appeal of a 60s setting is that's when global geopolitics was really getting going, and anyone doing international work still had very distinct fashions and archetypes from their origin culture.
