Specialists = Forced Gender & Appearance
So while I am not totally against the specialist system, I do object to the fact I have a “forced gender, and appearance”. Even BFV we could select the gender and generally how my avatar looked… now...
Forum Discussion
@Steve081372I agree on the limitation of choices and customization, if this is what we will be limited to in the released game.
I don't care what my character looks like too much, sometimes i like to play with the default "noob" skin, sometimes I like to mix it up.
And by all means, for those fellow gamers who feel their character must represent their inner self, why not? Just don't go overboard with glowing rainbow skins and flashing boots, there are enough other games that can satisfy any such styling and design cravings.
Note: Sundance is not a female, but specifically identified as a non-binary. Why Dice decided to supply that level of info only for one Specialist, I don't know, buy if Boris identifies as a giraffe, I am fine with that too.
I do care a bit more about how other players characters look, especially the enemies. The McKay clone wars in the beta as non-optimal, but we know there will be at least some level of customization.
The irony in all this is that people whinged like hell about being able to pick any gender in BFV (setting be damned before the pedants chime in!).
Just goes to show that DICE can never please the 'community'!
I don't care by the way.....
It is blatant box ticking and totally unnecessary in a FPS shooter, but hey ho, who really cares. Maybe in season 2 they let us know that Boris and Mackay are in a relationship. Though will DICE change it for certain markets i wonder? looking at you china. Also I can't wait for the specialist with the hover wheelchair - has to be coming surely if DICE want to be all inclusive.
Just give people more control over the appearance of a the character. Don't force me to play with a certain gender or appereance.
- @Trokey66 I was going to come after this post so fast my head was going to explode until I read between the parentheses.
- @Trokey66 Maybe you and I remember the BFV gender discussion differently. It wasn't about being able to pick any gender, it was about being able to pick female characters, who supposedly didn't belong in a WWII setting, and worse, the default for Medic and Recon was female.
So actually the discussion is lead by the same people now, that started complaining about forced to play a female character, when you want to play a medic. But yeah we got Angel, but maybe there is a problem with him being Romanian, too.I think if you feel like anyone is forcing "gender" on you, maybe you need therapy.
- @kregora Read between the parenthesis bruh
- @gruntbrews_vicv Oh I did. I didn't had any issues with the freedom of choice, that had no impact on the game play.
At the moment I have issues with the lack of choice, that has impact on the game play.
