Gender Locks Have Revealed the Worst in Players.

[Kallera]

Except it's not "unfinished", it's "spreading ressources to not please only one part of the playerbase".
With male Viera instead of male Hrothgar, those who'd like to play a beast race (Something that doesn't exist right now as opposed to already having cute animal-human characters) would have been screwed. And designing two full races would have taken ressources from something else, meaning that we would have all been screwed with less content, even those who don't care at all about changing races.

For something that, as said before, is not even content, since it has no impact at all on everything you do in this game. And for those who claim that it's important for RP, It really bugs me how you can do proper RP if you change race and/or sex every time a new flavor comes into the game. Isn't your character supposed to have a background, a family, etc ?

...you don't roleplay, do you?

There are characters that have been waiting on the wings since it was teased. female and male, and villains too!
