All the pro arguments seem to want more creativeness when it comes to their character. Most con arguments on this thread are about it being unrealistic. Personally, I'm siding with the creativeness party. Realism isn't important in a universe like eve. Let's not forget that artillery, a weapon used in our current age, is used more now than railguns, a much more advanced and powerful piece of technology. Rustbuckets can defeat heavily plated beasts, despite the heavy ships having advanced weaponry (rustbuckets being minnie and heavy plates being Amarr/Gallente). There's so much more unrealistic things about this game too. Honestly, it's more realistic to have women-warriors than artillery beating railguns.

But i've been reading every bit of info and all am seeing is 200 pound males !

So CCP Will there be female characters for dust?





Frankly for all we know dusk soldiers don't even have a gender as they are essentially modified clones bred for the battlefield.
hence masculine traits should be prevalent as it makes more sense in that perspective.


I would think that if that were the case, then female traits would be better, more agile, less to hit etc. Its guns, not MMA.

It says a lot the soldiers being pro-type and basic as-well for "testing" (they all look alike as-well based on the stories on Dust514 site)

I know this will sound odd, but this thread made me realize and remember I have a visual fetish for female bodybuildersTwisted <--- just girls in bikinis with huge muscles

I mean, you all talking about women killing, sniping, stealth assassinating people, arty loading , yeah, women are gorgeous and "classical" shape is bollocks. All women are gorgeous and beautiful even if you can't stand their physiques, trust me, out there, every woman has a guy (or another woman) waiting for her, and I really believe it's kinda strange to not allow females, at least in concept.

Odd about the gender choice in the game, in a future setting it's kinda meaningless and purely cosmetic

Let's see how CCP reacts.

No point in using a female avatar/meat clone if you can't tea bag the corpse of your enemy.

Bad example. Anyone with the willpower to achieve that level of body sculpting would be an officer and would have several enlisted types to carry her pursegear.
