It hurts me to the bones that they would do such a thing, compromising their integrity, just to please a minotiry, most of whom probably wont even buy a/the game. As a result of this i will probably not back another kickstarterproject nor buy any other game . it will not be a big change, the last few years i only played some very special chosen games. and i guess most devs/publisher can live without one buyer. but i am guessing there will be more that feel this way soon.

well with this i am off. goodbye

Because of time restraints that failed to materialise. That's really too bad, but there is really nothing more to it.

TL;DR Larian won't ruin the integrity of the game if they could handle it. As quoted above, they initially made DC not exclusive with one gender, but kept only one male lead so as to retain the so called integrity you kept on spouting.

Anyhow, playing different gender with different branching increases replayability to me. A win-win situation for role playing gamers.
