Gender and ethnic locked classes is a deal breaker

[Mathalis]

I role play as myself as much as possible in all RPGs. I know many people do this and many people do not care about this at all. I do not what to play as a female or a different race if I do not have to. I just do not get immersed this way. I will be refunding until this option is added. I wish you all luck as the game looks fun beyond that.

Yeah I was sort of bummed but its not a deal breaker. Just waiting on the multiplayer to really jump in.

you make a video game then, it's very time consuming to create two genders for each class.

I totally understand. I didn't say what I said with hate. I get where they are going, but I just dont enjoy it, so I'll wait until they, hopefully, add more choices in the future.

It's not a dealbreaker for me either, but I agree that it takes away from the appeal of a roleplaying game if you can't fully customize how your character looks. Even Grim Dawn with its ethnically ambiguous adventure person is kind of less weird in that way than just having to be Charles Dance if you want to be a mage.

for me its ok since i come from poe where genderlocks are also active.
As the characters are pretty mute there and under your armor you cant see the gender anyway

Definately limits my options as I never play female characters. I can usually find 1 or 2 locked types that I can stomach through the game so I'm aight with it.

I lol'd when you said Charles Dance. Funny stuff. Everyone has their preferences and it's just not good enough gameplay yet for me to hate what I'm looking at all the time.

Yeah, I am the same way. I always play the armored warrior/paladin type, but I don't play other races or sexes as I have a harder time getting into the class. We'll see down the line. Hopefully they add more features later and the game explodes.

[Thorny]

Not my preference either, But I'm hooked on it.

Why are genitals so important to some people? Especially in a game.

[Rocktinius]

Would be nice indeed to be able to pick whatever gender you may feel like playing. I know alot of female gamers that feels that way too!

[Stalker]

What is going on? Who cares for gender in a game like this? Its a Diablo - Clone, so there is no effect in a different gender. Make the chars look cool and everything is fine. Looking forward to the final release! Keep it going!

guys its beta... Even 90% of the gear has same skin. They might introduce gender/race choices later. It's clearly not the most important thing atm

I have thought about this more recently as it's not something that normally bothers me hugely (though I do prefer games with customisation) but I think what makes it worse in LE is that the character models are kind of a bit ugly but distinct enough that you can't ignore how they look.

Let me qualify that a bit. Grim Dawn has very generic character models (though you can at least pick gender but I digress) but in that the zoom of the game and the fact gear drastically changes your appearance means you kind of don't really notice after a few hours into the game.

Here its the opposite. You can be 50+ hours in and you still look like you did at the beginning (Charles Dance comment above was epic btw) so it grates even more that you are stuck looking at them. I mean if I have to be stuck staring at an old dude mage, at least give him a wise old mans beard and pointy hat for gods sake !!

In all seriousness though I think (hope) this will be alleviated when more of the gear art is added and your characters no longer look identical from level 1 to level 70+

deal breaker for an iso hack n slash? Lmfao whatever dude
