Gender locked race?

[Lauront]

When you're a woman whose "me but better" ideal is being tall and muscled and "eye candy" men are lean and pretty.

I'm aware some people subscribe to that thinking, but I was commenting specifically on the idea that viera females are just there as a straight guy fantasy pick, when I know for a fact that plenty of women also play the attractive female options.

For my own character designs, I wasn't trying to make them attractive OR like myself, they're just character designs that I liked. Inevitably there's overlap between "I like this design" and "I find it attractive" but that wasn't the primary intent.

I tend to approach my character design from the viewpoint of how I visualise their particular concept. I won't lie - since it's a fantasy game, I like making them attractive.

But a lot of people seem to design characters based on the two lines of thinking I mentioned.

Seven fates foretold. Yet at the end of the broken path lie gender locks, and gender locks alone!
