Relax! Chill! Calm down!
We're not diluting anything - on the contrary. We have a very iterative culture at Larian & so it's not uncommon for us to change our minds all the way until the end. Drives people who work with us bananas but that's the way it is. I'm told it's not that uncommon in other successful studios, so maybe it'll even help us one day. The cool part of having an open mind to iteration is that we're open to new perspectives, and when this entire "you are sexists" thing started, our initial reaction was "now we're not & we don't agree with what you're saying & we think you actually have the definition of sexist wrong etc..." but... we figured that we were making a mistake in doing man/woman only because there really was no good reason to limit it to that. That's it.
As far as the equipment goes - I'll let our character artist reply to that. I had a long chat with him last night and realized to my shame that I had forgotten something which makes the entire thing quite funny. He'll tell the tale better than I can, so wait for him to pop in.
