I don't agree with you. If the woman likes the game, she will buy it even if there is only male characters.
I played the demo of Divine Divinity with a male character and i bought the game later.
Female gamers are not different of male gamers.
My wife won't play a game if it's a male character <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Then again, she's really picky, and I guess I shouldn't classify her as a true gamer. I would say that there are hardcore gamers that don't care about the gender, and there are casual gamers that do. The casual female gamer market is an untapped resource. There's at least one game I know of that appeals to casual female gamers... The Sims. And it's sold bizillion copies.
