Dear BioWare: Females of the Species Do Exist

Dear Sirs, I want to bring to your attention that majority of the human population is female in gender. Please, consider to remember that when designing for SWTOR and other games. Been playing since 1997, and got used to being shafted each and every time. However, the gender being completely excluded as even one token option for a potential class Protagonist is the whole next level of being ignored as a part of a player base.

EDIT: Holy crow. Sorry, sorry, sorry folks!

I know it is wiser and more mature to say it doesn't matter, but today something about it got to me. I apologize for sour-grapes.

I was wrong and blew it out of proportions. I am also glad people stuck up for BioWARE, it's nice.

The only thing I am going to object to is attributing criticism of non-Player characters (Satele or Zash, etc) to me; it was not the intent. I meant the Protagonist and the Protagonist only i.e. the Player Character portrayal in that article about the classes and class stories.

I wish I had a chance to apologize before it dragged people into 10+ pages of old-fashioned flamefest, and I am particularly sorry to anyone who got the collateral damage by association.

What are you talking about? BioWare games - specifically SW:TOR - are pretty much the most representative entries in the entire video games market.

I would like to know what you are referring to also.

Most of my characters are female, I enjoy the aesthetic a lot more.
If I am going to be looking at an *** for hours a day let it be a female one..... ahem

Dear Ma'am,
Please take into account gamer specific statistics not average world wide statistics when relating male/female to SWTOR. It's true, females almost make up 50% of gamers, but that vast majority of females are mostly console gamers. In SWTOR, you're very outnumbered by males. I agree, though, we need more skimpy outfits.

I am talking about all 8 classes in the 'class levelling event' having an iconic protagonist image for every class shown as a male.

ALL of them.

I just think they pulled some old concept art out of their storage to pretty up the page.
Wouldn't call it iconic.

Satele Shan has been awfully bossy to my Jedi Guardian lately.

And if efforts would have been made to not be so openly male-oriented, that would open up new player base and a market expansion. Working instead of the already loyal audience is stagnating.

Again, not ONE of the classes is an image of a female. Even a chanmail bikini one.

They all have a bit of armour concept art to convey the general tone of the classes. All of which is done on a single body type before being iterated on to fit alternate body types. I would call this a nitpick, but that would be giving it too much credit: this is a complete non-issue.

... trolls can be females too! :P
