Of course, we'd lose that golden monologue from Piety about duelists's butt which is a shame, but sacrifices have to be made.

I don't recall that exact line, but couldn't Piety just as well be bisexual? ;)

Has anyone asked Piety?

I actually don't know my personal WTP for gender bending as I have only recently been accepted at a job and have yet to get a good grasp on just how much my salary gives me.

Hope someday ggg implement alternative characters sex customization.

No idea, the lore seems to suggest she's straight as we get quite a few winks on that side and none to the other, as is the case with Ranger.

Well, if an armor set costs 30$ and Chris says it's visually more impactful than gender a fair price should be 15$.

Heh, just kidding. If we assume the total development cost for all seven characters is 1mil dollars and skins are priced at 40, they would need to sell 25k to get in that ballpark. Sheesh, no idea, might be realistic, people are pretty bored with old chars by now but we don't really know how well are expensive mtxes selling.

I suppose their engine is the problem again, we know fitting new armor 3d art to existing models can be wonky and doubling characters means doubling the work.

Information from various sources and of various age:

- Very expensive, about a lower six-figure sum per class.
- Lots of work for something you won't notice much, e.g. because of all that armour (same for custom skin and hair colour)
- Gender is tied into the lore/design and they don't want to change that (iirc, this was Chris's own response in one of last year's Dev Q&As)*.

So, as far as we know, it's not even considered.

*Edit: found the source for the last one:

Chris a écrit :

Will you guys ever add gender options to character classes?

No, the character classes are designed to be specific sexes. Plus, it's very hard to see visual changes like that anyway underneath all that armour!

No way making 3D model is that expensive.

The "lower six-figure sum" was a piece of info from years ago, though, so yeah, GGG probably have ways to streamline the development of content now and it could be cheaper but it looks like it'll still cost more money than they'd be willing to invest.
