I'm well aware that this change has been done because some people complained that the female avatar walks like, well, a hooker. I have yet to see the new animation and frankly, I don't care about it, but what if instead of everyone having the same animation, we were allowed to change it

Maybe some people actually like the current "sexy" animation(that includes women, not just perverts )

Well, I think people should have the freedom to choose their characters mannerisms. Like I don't know, have a "tough guy" pose/walk, or have my character always look bored out of his mind, maybe even have "flamboyant" animations, just stuff like that, so we can personalize our clones further.

Obviously it shouldn't be a priority, but I think it would be neat

Edit: P.S. just buy the animations of the Smackdown vs Raw guys or something

my girlfriend would probably tell me she doesn't view video game walk animations as the battlefront for civil rights.

If it was, then I'm sure there should be tens of thousands of men lining up to complain that the image of male game models being stocky and muscular portrays a sexist stereotype gender image for men that most of their 150lb bodies/genetics can't live up to. Or that working out is too hard, or they have X medical condition and this is demeaning and objectifying or what have you.

Where's the representation for legal midgets or amputees? Not all humans fall into the range of 5-7 feet tall with all their arms, legs, fingers and toes. This reinforces the viewpoint that the human body should exist in some idealized media portrayal!



What else am I missing?

Battle clones shouldn't have a gender. What good do all those extra organs and fleshy parts do for a soldier who is not expected to live? If I were designing battle clones they would be neuter because I would only want to make one kind of clone and one sex of suit. We are battle clones not runway models.

Men are not allowed to be stereotyped, especially if they are 18 - 35 year old white males. All the worlds problems can be blamed on 18 - 35 year old white males. We are all homophobes, sexist, racist and bigots that deserve what we get.

lucky. that animation was becoming a REAL deal breaker for me

Boobs are there to distract the enemy

Where do our consciousness resides when we are back from battle? Maybe we are in a VR space?

In our real bodies, duh

The dude in the MCC and warbarge is really you.

Then we should look like EVE capsuleers when not in the battle. I guess it will be changed up the roadmap

Where's surt on this?

+1 for customization

Dust's female model dont even look like super soldiers. I dont know why game devs make such a big deal about putting in female characters for their female players and then half assing it by putting in a petite model with a noticeable size difference compared to their male counterparts. They look more like runway models and would break in combat.

If you're not gonna do it right, then dont do it at all is what I'm saying to prominent FPS devs.

I have raised this issue before but here it goes again. What is a point of having gender branded battle clones? How do you know the exact number of male/female clones being needed for mercs? If there is equal number of males/females in a team and males perform inferior to females in the battle they will start to respawn in female clones right? And they will wear male dropsuits... Or vice versa...

Imho the clones we use for battle are genderless and guttless. They don't eat, they don't excrete and they can't have sex with each other Only muscles and brain for moving that dropsuit around and some biogoo inside to supply limited energy for said muscles and brain. Where do our consciousness resides when we are back from battle? Maybe we are in a VR space?

This is very good for shedding our heavy burden of dividing world between females and males. But wait... there is still that body swapping consciousness and it's alleged gender. Weird...

I can't believe I even opened this thread in the first place...

Alarm: a woman just saw this thread.

No worries, as part of the super rare gamer-woman race, I actually have to LOL @ thinking female characters are meant to be played by female human beings.

I see a lot of games where there isn't any kind of customized animation for female characters. At least DUST got it. So far.

I might agree the current walk animation is exaggerated but I don't really mind it and I'm rather worried about looking like a gorilla. I like being "sexy" in a game, I'm a full armored mercenary already, I don't really want to look like a massive super soldier! What's the point in being a woman, then? lol.

If my clone's butt gets nerfed I would actually be mad at it :P

As an Amarrian Lord, the idea of females on the battlefield utterly disgusts me.

The only place for a female in war is the bedchamber.
