I just read this article on rockpapershotgun which mentions you hiring a female writer, aiming to have 51/49 percent representation, having same-sex relationships, and being able to play as two women.
The last in particular made me happy as Divine Divinity was one of my favourite games and I was really worried I'd have to play a one male/one female team. The fact that I can play as two ladies makes me ecstatic and I just wanted to show that appreciation to the devs. It really matters! It makes a big difference! Thank you!
Well I kind of have to laugh at the 51/49 reference. While that is the male/female ratio I do believe that if you look at the ratio of those that are soldiers or do other dangerous adventuring, the ratio wouldn't be quite the same.
Regardless I agree games need some decent female writers, no not like BioWare's female writers, but some good ones. I certainly hope this makes any female relationships more realistic.
