Female Avatars and Warriors

[andreas55k]

The Question is simple, Will it be implemented?
My first answer was "Highly Likely" since there during the Character Creator was the choice of pressing a button near Male, Though nothing happened to it -_-

I am asking though, due to the fact that I know it might be a bit hard to add on a new model to a game and mix it into the random NPC´s and perhaps also having to tackle the issues of Sexism. (Lets face it, No matter how sensible one is, someone will call a Game Sexist even if it isnt).

In the Case it will be available as NPC´s would Female warriors just be like "Hired blades"? or would they be a separate unit, like in Mount and Blade where every warrior was male, except for the "Peasant Women" who could end up being the bad ass "Sword sister".

short answer, yes.
long answer, yes but when he gets an artist.

Yeah if I remember Chris said that it was kinda hard to make a female NPC. There was an earlier demo (Long ago) that actually had displayed female characters. (The result (if I remember correctly) was that they looked like guys in drag.)) So like txfirefighter said it will probably be implemented when Chris can contract that out. (The idea of female NPCs clearly is there, it just needs to be worked out).

As for your second question, based on the character creation screen I would say that they share the same roles as their male-counterparts. (So if the henchman is made a henchwoman, there probably would be no change of ability/actions.)

I guarantee there will be females eventually, in fact I already have the model. They will be used the same as male characters.

I would love an army of guys in drag. I could re-enact all the best scenes from pricilla queen of the desert, only involving swords and dudes getting killed.

Ok That is fantastic
I will be looking forwards to that I know it sounds strange, but i somehow find Female Samurai´s/Ninjas more bad ass than Males XD

Anyone who have ever Tried the Old game "Kessen 1" Will know what i mean

Only know kessen 2 and 3 unfortunately. What is the setting for number 1?

It is the same, Though the end of the War, however, One of the best Special skills there are in that game, Is Female Ninjas

Basically a large line of men stands there, then your Officer yells "Now!" and everyone throws smoke bombs, And out of the smoke comes a hundred female ninjas... and it can end up killing thousands of your enemy! XD

End of what war? I assume you mean sengoku Japan since there are ninja. But Kessen 2 was Warring states China...so different wars.

Sounds like a cool ability anyway, I only ever beat Kessen 3 once. I'm not imaginative enough to change their soldier type and it got boring after a while on the second playthrough.

Oh! Yes, It was the end of that war yes... I just assumed it was the same war but different periods since first game was about the end of the war, and the third, was about Nobunaga, who was in the (Just about) start of it...

Well, second half of it isn't really the start; although it is the start of the part that most people are familiar with. I know what you mean though.
