man i have not even noticed this issue. but i just say this i don't think that Larian studios should have stress over something like this. please keep focus on the things that matters this is not one of them. and i really doubt its that many people that would get offended by it, internet noise can sometimes be a bit demanding... i wonder how the Obsidion will make the female armors in there Project Eternity.. are they also going to obey to sexisme demands?? : / sigh.
The fact that you didn't notice it is kinda irrelevant. Obviously plenty of people did notice it and it bothered them enough that they asked for it to be changed.
I do find it curious that treating female avatars the same as male is seen as being spineless and giving in to "whiners". It's simple equal treatment.
First high heels, then armor (
which already was confirmed) and what next? The more you feed the whiners the hungrier they become. "Well, they changed that and this, but exactly this offends me. And me too! So why not change it too? It needs to be changed!"
In the end it will be an amazing game... made for a selected group of people.
Y'know, people don't complain just for its own sake. Nor do most people go out of their way to be offended. This thread, and almost all of the posts in it, are simply polite requests that something that people find detracts from the game be changed. Most of the vitriol seems to be coming from people who are opposed to changing anything. By your own logic, then, should we not ignore you, lest we "overfeed" the people hurling insults?
