Class gender locks still? This is not the way

You play as one of the exiles, each one has a different lore. You can check the "WANTED" poster GGG release a few days ago in Twitter.
I understand that you would like a character creation with gender, hair type and other features but they decided that as a game design feature. Maybe in the actual release of the game GGG will add some character creation but do not expect gender change.
Its so you don't keep making gandalf or harry potter over and over again.
You can make your own new adventure and adventurer.

I didn't play brotato either because I couldn't be a carrot.
And how were you able to determine their gender?

I've played PoE 1 the last week in preparation, with a Templar as somebody "close-ish" in the tree, but the 6 gender locked early access classes and their ascendendies are even further away for what I look to play in a fantasy RPG. I'm pretty mainstream with that.

With a game so agile in terms of class and skills, can anyone explain to me why the easiest restriction-fix of all, class gender-lock, didn't get fixed in PoE 2?


Because, unlike many other games, PoE's characters are not just a blank slate. They each have their own unique story, their own voice actors with a lot of lines, etc...

If the characters weren't gender locked, then they would require double the effort to create, for very little gain. GGG simply doesn't think the effort would be worth it.


Aside from disagreeing because I'm a programmer that has done RPG programming (not an ARPG, I admit), I can use my common sense to note that almost nothing of my Templar story in PoE 1 was gender specific - certainly nowhere near the point of "double the work".
The effort required to balance a skill tree and end-game as massive as this game has, makes the effort of a protagonist gender option almost inconsequential. Period.

if you place importance on "their own unique story", then differentiation with a gender option only makes it more unique.

You can have good enoght builds as Titan caster with this juice +50% bonus to small passives (Looks like Hagrid), or gambling legionare with double supports, +10% quality and +1 level to skill gems :D (Looks like Boromir)

There is nothing to fix.

Gemling Legionare can be Gundalf or Harry Pottar
When night falls
She cloaks the world
