Just make POE 2 not gender locked, simple.

I personaly apreciate that poe as it is now has no character customization options. Hopping strait into the game not having to
adjust a bunch of booba sliders is just a better experience for me.

If the game had customization options, I can imagine the nerfs and buffs:

For patch 2.9 Booba sliders will produce 15% less booba. To balance out these game adjustments, Fanny sliders are increased by 25%.

:o)

This discussion makes me retroactively marvel at the decision of the makers of Gish to have a blob of tar as the character model.

couldnt care less

I understand that most of you don't care about such things, but even in arpg's, I only play female classes, and it's frustrating to get locked out of certain roles because of that, even if I understand that that is my choice.

I just wish there was a female melee / strength class. I am guessing the Huntress won't be too far off, but having to path to the other side of the tree down from Sorc, and ascendancies that don't have a focus on strength and melee, is a real downer. I am sure there are some people who would want to play a male mage as well (so glad for female sorc though, my favorite class from d2!)

I agree that it would be too much work that could be spent on other things, and it does not benefit lore wise to allow the classes to pick gender, but just having 1 female strength / melee class would have gone a long way, I think.

I guess I just wish the templar was female, it seems like it would be the perfect class to pick.

That is what a big part of the communitiy is asking. It will increase the amount of cosmetics buyers, no downside. You said urselves that the engine now allows you to make kind of stuff much easier.

There is one downside. If they do genders for classes, they have to do they body type 1&2 thing or increase the age rating in the west by "law". It is why every game now that lets you choose the sex of a character has body type 1&2.

It will be one of the first woke things entering the game and I don't like it.

Suuuure.

Source: trust me bro.

lol this topic still aint dead i see.

my hot take, instead of having gender swapping, allow us to use any of the character models for any class that we choose.

for example we play as a witch but we choose monk as our ingame model.

what cost am i willing to forego?

homogenization.

make all conversation refer to the exile as "the exile".

since we already are getting cutscenes, homogenization would be the best way moving forward to begin with.

For me everything is fine and in place, for me such changes are unnecessary, each character has its own lore and history, connection with NPCs along the way, and a unique image, it's like making Lara Croft a guy, why...

Before someone will hate me - it's my opinion and i have right for this

I absolutely don’t care about gender of my avatar, I personally prefer they spend ressources and time on things that matter.
You don’t know what % of players care about that.

I love how you present this post like its a problem that needs solving and people other than liberals want this. Stop, ok?
