Female Characters

[FleetFox]

Hi all, I know this has been mentioned before but I want to make the point again. We need to have female characters in the game too just like warband. We should not isolate 50% of people because there is only one gender type in the game. For me this is actually one of the most important things that I would love to hear that will or has already been added. Just been watching another Melee Battlegrounds vid, and it struck me there are just no female characters. What do you think?

Cheers

I guess adding female characters later on is no problem and right now it is just very low priority.

And actually I would love it if they would insist on historical accuracy on this on, but I guess that'd be their death sentence as devs these days...

If families is a key part of the gameplay I imagine females will be in the game. Think i'd rather they have more varied armours than have to duplicate each one so it fits a female body though. Or can they just have female heads?

We definitely want females characters in the game, 100%, it's big a vital part of the final vision. Right now we don't have a female model nor anyone on the team who can make one, but it's something we want to get as soon as we can (have the means), for now you'll just have to enjoy the sausage fest

Yo it's hard making dem human models ya know none of the guys works with male/female models in general, they're experienced and good with making armors, weapons, items etc.

The male model was created via outsourcing in the beginning, which is more than likely how we'll get the female model made too.

Also, no boob armor or anything silly like that. It'll be historical, meaning everyone wears the same — though of course some notable females had custom made armors.

Also: will armor be adjustable to different body shapes & features ? For example - If I want to roleplay someone like Lansamur will this be possible:

I think the way we have it in cRPG is adequate, the armours stay the same they just change shape a little to fit the female form. Don't know if thats so practical this time around, but you have always done a good job with that in cRPG with new armours.
