Check out the latest Path of Exile 2 showcasing the many classes you can play in the latest iteration including the Monk, Huntress, Sorcerer, Druid and more....
It would be nice if they didn’t, but every class is a character with a semi-established personality and story, so it makes sense for them to be gender “locked”. The NPC characters also react to you differently based on who you play. It’s mainly a difference in character design.
Make them gender neutral, I honestly don’t care about their backstory anyway if I’m honest. I want to play “my” character. Imagine they’d be as restrictive in their possible builds because “duh, in their backstory they only used specific spells too”.
Sexist? Why are you trying to make this a gender issue now? lol
Please stop the fanatic removed. You’re not going to make any sort of criticism go away with this.
Are you confused? Where did I make it a gender issue by complaining that they still use gender locked classes? It’s an outdated and obsolete concept from decades ago that needlessly cuts down on character customization. I never once claimed this to be sexism related. Maybe work on your reading comprehension before you continue to cry around over your own made up bullshit.
It’s not “obsolete” for set characters, which is what this is if they have pre-established stories and personalities.
You think the PoE devs aren’t getting paid? lol
That’s not how budgets nor gamedev work. It’s not up to individual developers to just add huge amounts of content to a game that hasn’t been budgeted for.

It is. Even Diablo had male and female characters while having lore behind them. It’s not that hard. They even acknowledged that they could offer it as micro transaction, so this whole “they’re actual characters” argument already flies right out of the window.

Look. It’s not that hard to adjust armor & animations to character models nowadays. A lot of tools do most of the work even all on their own already, assuming you prepared for this with a solid base already. Even game modders do this. You’re just looking for excuses.
Are they seriously still sticking to gender locked classes?

Would you volunteer to do all the extra work that would require, for free?

They are, but this is also clearly not within budget, not a sexist conspiracy.

You clearly made it a gender issue with your initial comment. I’m not the one removed, I think the trailer looks amazing.
