I didnt even have to read the whole thing to know i completely agree with you (i will read it, seeing as you have very relevant valid points). Im also pretty sick of seeing these threads. Do people not understand what a Role Playing Game is? And really, isn't character customization just about looks...you're exactly right when you say this aint a dating site. I dont know why people get so bothered by it. Maybe they're trying to find a gamer gf but later get embarassed cuz they find its a dude? Idk, thats pretty pathetic. 2/3 of my characters are female, im a guy (my main is male). I dont think its weird when i see other guys playing female characters. Honestly its more badass to be some sexy alien fighter chick, rather than some cliché macho-man alien killer. Lame
