          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.

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

              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 It’s an outdated and obsolete concept from decades ago that needlessly cuts down on character customization.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.

                    No, I’m not, because I’m not a PoE2 dev and don’t need an excuse. You’re ignoring the realities of gamedev and insisting it should just work because you say so.

                    They even acknowledged that they could offer it as micro transaction

                    If they did, that means budgeting for the additions needed because it would be a product in itself.
