i don't like role playing as a male in video games, makes me pretty uncomfortable because cries in trans girl tears how do i select a female character model/voice?
seems like /u/Robert_GSG was working on this like 3 years ago, there was a character model released so am i just not seeing an option somewhere in the game??
External link →except if you read the post Jacob was responding to (here it is because reddit's UI is stupid ) the context makes it very clear that when he said "it's not about four male dwarves, it's just about four dwarves" he wasn't saying they're genderless, just that the distinction between genders is irrelevant to the identity of the game (and that they still want to add females dwarves someday). that entire post is literred with links confiming that the dwarves we see in-game are in fact, canonically male.
This is the correct interpretation. While the characters are male, it's not really what defines the game. We did want to do female characters, but with the amount of work needed to redo the underlying systems, it's such a massive undertaking that we currently don't have any plans to do so, even though we'd like to.
this is a lazy and untrue answer, I found a thread where the devs made a female character model and didn't complete it.
The female character I believe was leaked during an early stream, but as far as I remember, it was to explore one of the possible routes to go. The result didn't live up to the standard we'd want for a female character, and made us realize that we'd need to redo a major part of the character rig to make it happen, and that's currently not in the plans.
