Exactly.I'm seeing all sorts of stuff about "gender lock" on the two new races, as if SE is purposefully withholding content from us, and that female Hrothgar and male Viera exist as playable races, but are "locked" from us.
The thing is, making another gender of an existing race is the same amount of work as making a single gender of a new race. You can't just slap boobs on a hrothgar and call it female, you have to make an entirely new model, and you have to match existing gear to it, you have to make all the new customization options, and the list of things just goes on.
The fact is, it takes the same amount of manpower and effort to make a single race with two genders as it does to make two races with a single gender.
They did not have the manpower to make two races with two genders. They've told us this, and they've said that because they wanted to include hrothgar, a concession had to be made.
Yes, I do believe the other genders should be created. But no, I don't believe there's any locking, malice, personal attacks on sexuality, or anything of that nature that I've seen in the general hubbub that is these forums.
We got a nice thing. We had to lose another nice thing to get it. I'd say have patience, and that the extra genders will come eventually.
I tried to tell ppl that we got 2 new races instead of just 1 with both genders and SE is meeting more audience with that, but that just gets ignored.
