I know that i'm prob. in the minority of players for this, and as such i heavily doubt this will be implemented, but..
As i understand the new game/dlc (not sure which BZ is being counted as) we're once again in control of a pre-made character, with no choice in gender, looks, ect. While i considered this somewhat annoying for the modern age of gaming, the orig. char was male, and thus it was something i could work with/overlook. Now this new one forces you to be a female, correct? That's something i dont like, and will most likely prevent me from getting the new one.
As a male gamer, i want to play male characters. Again, i assume this old-fashioned way of thinking isnt shared by the majority these days, but i wanted to get the view out there for the dev's to see. If they could make it so we could play female OR male, great. That will get me on board to buy it. If it's too late in the development cycle to do that (or if it'll be too costly to implement the VA and model/programming work at this point) then i'll have to pass on this one. But either way i hope it's received as well as subnautica was, and you guys continue to make community-loved games well into the future

I'm all for options, let the players be a guy if they want, as long as they go back to Subnautica and add a female option too.
Nope, never played any TR game. At the time of the first cple releases in the series, just wasnt interested in it overall. My stance on playing male characters came later. And just to be clear, i have nothing against female characters as they stand, what/who they represent, or any other possible aspect or angle of their existence. As a guy, i just prefer playing male characters.
Would have been great if the 1st SubNaut game came with the basic choices of gender and skin tone (because i'm sure there are women out there who just want to play female characters as well). In the modern age of gaming, these basic customization options shouldnt be lacking in -any- game released if the PC's are human. So that's really the only bad mark against the 1st game, imo. Hopefully there's still time in the dev cycle of BZ to give players the choice, assuming it's not going to be too costly for the studio.
If not, please make these choices a part of the next SN or SN-like game you make, UW. It would be greatly appreciated.
