This "issue" is absolutely not present, and it deserves in no way to take up valuable space in this forum. Alright, I believed the "valuable space" for a moment there myself. *sarcasm off.*

There is no reason to be pissed at Bioware here. If anything, I think you should close your browser window now, turn around and stand up from your desk. This is in no way an issue worth to be discussed. Do we really need to start this "feminism" here?

I set feminism into brackets because there is a positive kind of feminism. The kind which is based on logic, true facts and seeks to improve the standing of woman around the world. This kind here is not worthy of getting the title feminism. If anything, it's a gamer girl nitpicking about details again. To complain because (s)he has nothing worth doing at the moment.

Now, move on. And remind me to open a thread complaining about the horrible treatment male gamers have to endure the next time they add a screenshot with only female characters...

Agent act 3: female keeper and female antagonist
Both Jedi: shateele is pretty much head of it all
Trooper: garza
Smuggler: the senator is both antagonist and protagonist
BH: honestly it's about the money so it's all pretty moot
Sith: There really isn't a "protagonist"

8 stories 5/8 have female protagonist and the other 3 there really isn't any protagonist
you know you want to

LOL! I was about to say..."valuable?"
All warfare is based on deception If his forces are united, separate them If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near A leader leads by example not by force

Don't you love it when the OP disappears after people repeatedly prove them wrong?

I would have to agree with that. I play a lot of console games, especially with the sorority at campus. Most of them is either on the Wii or on the PS4. big game that we're playing right now is Destiny, or FIFA 15. or wii sports and SuperSmashBros.
But only reason I play a computer game(this game in specific), is because I was introduced to it by the bf; and about the skimpy outfits, I could really care less about them. What would be nice is more Dark Purple Dyes with more colors. say Purple and aqua blue. but doubt that'll happen.

Soooo this is all about a short thread containing 8 concept art images. Meanwhile, completely disregarding all the strong, powerful, high ranking, etc. women characters depicted within this game?

Some people simply have too much time on their hands.

Gotta say, I didn't even notice--to the point that it took me a long time to figure out what the OP was talking about. Bioware works very hard to be inclusive so I think it's a bit much to get too offended with them over armor presentation.

That being said, there's still room for improvement, but they deserve far more praise than censure. When the first KOTOR was made, the possibility of playing a female protagonist was virtually unheard of. Yes, her 'resting' pose, hip stuck out in a bone-breaking manner looked more llike a teenager having a hissy fit than a warrior, but she existed and was strong.

I could pick out things that annoy me a bit about female presentation in this game, but I don't think that can be fairly done without at the same time recognizing just how much effort bioware has put into inclusion of both female gamers and female characters. They are also entirely about modelling/animation, not writing, and both those are FAR better than in other mmos.

Seems like a nonissue. This game has quite a few women in prominent places, including Grandmaster of the Jedi Order.

Enlightening though. I didn't know Hadoken was a woman....
