I'll whine with you
it would be a huge disappointment if we couldn't play a female pc.
But I would be surprised if they'd not include it. One of the things I love about Larian is that the male/female ratio has always been in balance. M/F dragon knights, M/F bad guys etc. So I think that they really want to make that an option, but because of the complexity of the story (princess) and other game mechanics it would be difficult to make it available.
But I keep hoping
and whining :P
