AlaricSevGirl Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 How can you tell that the Trooper, BH, or Inquisitor aren't female exactly? The Trooper's physique isn't indicative of a male. The BH and Inquisitor aren't either. I suppose you could say the Mara has a male type physique, but I can see where that's debatable. The premise of this thread is quite absurd really(IMO of course). Wait, you mean all of my characters don't look like girls....oh damn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlaricSevGirl Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 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. Does it matter...I mean really? I'm female and I didn't care one way or the other. I think it's ridiculous to bring this up and make a post out of it.

TUXs Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Minus the sammiches, we usually eat them before we get back. Then the menfolk get mad and say 'Fine we'll just go out for lunch.' and since we already had a sammich, we get a salad and pick at it and then the menfolk complain that we never eat. OMG...that's how that trick is done!!! Tell me more!!! I feel like you're a magician, sharing her secrets, but this is better than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom_VI Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) 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. That's because those images are all concept art for gear sets, all the concept art for gear sets that are not female exclusive is done on a male figure likely due to how the gear models are created.

ScarletBlaze Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 That to me is not a big deal considering in my opinion the armor is something I would never wear. It would look horrible on my character. I honesty didn't even consider they were all male. I just saw the armor and said yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alssaran Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 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...

Adovir Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackheartShadow Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptMurphy Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 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.

errant_knight Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) 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.

Nickious Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) 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.... Edited October 16, 2014 by Nickious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
