Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Forced females?

Larian has just said on the Kickstarter comments that they are going to try and work on having two characters of the same gender as the player characters.

But it will not kill you to play as a woman. I'm a man and I have played a female character in many an RPG, and I while playing, not once have I ever felt the urge to braid my hair and listen to boy bands.


I'll probably stick to the male-female pairing for all my playthroughs, but if Larian does implement same-gender pairings, I hope they take that into account for the endings. I can't imagine how people too uptight to play a girl would react if they get the maximum affinity option and are forced into being gay lovers!

EDIT: To clarify, I hope that the maximum affinity ending allows you to choose whether you meant best friends or lovers, regardless of gender.
