no thats not what the game says. the game says you can play the rouge as a female. it isn’t saying rogues can’t be male. look at npc zerrick from chapter 9 for example. hes a rougue.

I’ll probably get some hate for this take but having gender-locked classes actually helps with the world building. You are not playing Baldurs Gate 3 where you are creating yourself, you are playing an aRPG where you embody a specific arch-type and start wreaking havoc using that arch-type. aRPG are fast paced games so transposing the player to that world is more difficult then in normal RPGs, in order to achieve this you can, for example, use historically accurate situations, like the fact that usually the close range combat or direct combat was done by man while woman where more used for assassinations or providing first aid on the battle grounds. A lot of fantasies use this trope where man are the front line and the woman are the archers or healers so as a game developer or a writer you can easily tap into this to help with the world building. I think Diablo 2 (and LE as well) did an awesome job at this, you are not playing AN assassin you are playing THE assassin so the story of the character is not some generic bull crap. You are not one of the 10000 assassins of the world, you are one specific assassin that has this personal story that can unfold as you play. Having the playable character be someone specific in the world provides a nice way to immerse the player more. In the end it’s not about what arch-type you attribute to that class, it’s a fantasy world so you can make women fight close range and man fight from afar, that’s not the point, the point is to anchor that playable character into the world as a specific person, not a generic face in a see of generic faces. Diablo 4 has classes that can be both man and women and (and even non-binary if I remember correctly?) and it’s generic as you can get because you are not playing THE necromancer, you are playing A necromancer.
Sorry for the long rant however this is not the first time I see posts like this that feel more like virtue signaling then constructive feedback and I hope by writing this people understand a bit more about why in some cases gender locked classes might actually help the game and the world it’s building.

As some famous internet person once said, a delayed game can be good however a rushed game will forever be bad. So I’m all for delaying if it means the game gets a more polished release.
How many people actually care about that in an action rpg.
Why a dollar? Why not Euros or Pounds?

What we really need is to balance it with the Athenian drachma. 1 unit in-game currency for 1 fistful of drachmas. That way, there is no predatory marketing tricks; there’s only straightforward Greek imperial coinage.
(By the way, if my suggestion is approved, EHG really need to use the drachma value from the 5th century BC, not the bull**** romans introduced after… Come on, EHG, don’t screw this up!)

Yep, beware the calendar:
@Wowhead
With the start of Diablo 4’s second season, we have also learned that Season 3 will be released on January 23rd! Could this also be the release date of Diablo 4’s first expansion?

Can’t wait to see what Last Epoch has to offer for its 1.0 !
Great news! 
Warlock, Falconer & the 2 factions are the big ticket items.

I’ve got seventeen hundred and seventy six reasons why the dollar, fella!
Is that all? My school was/is older than that.
But it’s still not a reason for enforcing dollars on everyone else.
