Can we chose sex?

There is nothing wrong with playing as a female character if you are a male, and vise versa.
I myself have a venomancer
with a huge rack I might add X)
you shouldnt be ashamed to play as who you want.
guys playing as venomancers dont want to admit their real gender because they are so scared of people judging them. and me? I dont care what the world thinks of me, venomancers are sexy:D0 -
I honestly don't see what the fuss is about. This is an age old dispute with an age old answer. Play what you want, and if someone gets offended because you're the opposite gender it's probably because they wanted to hit on you. There. I said it.0

lol, true, when I play as a female char, people tend to hit on me a lot (I'm a guy) that's one of the reasons I prefer playing a male char
But I think this thread was made cause you CAN'T play what you want, venomancer is a female only char, so people who want to play a male char, well, they either can't play this char, or they just have to play a female char 0 -

You should enjoy playing as a girl, there isnt anything wrong with it.0 -

Although I really never make a female character(with the exception of my veno), I've got one word of advice, if you build your character around other people's expectations, you'll be dissatisfied with the result.
In other words, play what you want and if the other guy/girl has a problem with it, he/she can QQ more.0 -

QQ more, learn2read and grow up. lolinternetChiraz - Heavens Tear wrote: »You're the one being stupid, off course I can see that what you're doing and it's incredibly dishonest, lame and cowardly.
He/she got it:I'm 20 year old guy (and no, I'm not ****) and play male char, and most male chars I know are over 18 guys as well.
Seriously, I have no problem playing a female char, I just prefer a male char, but saying that the only people who play male chars are prepubescent kids is just as ignorant as saying that people who play female chars are transsexual kids (I know you were joking ascleph, just trying to make a point here
)
By all means, keep feeding me omnomnomnom. you are beyond help~0 -
Whats that illegible sequence of letters, a mantra some guru gave you? A new age variation of putting your hands on your ears and chanting 'I can't hear you'...
It's too late for you to pretend to discuss the original issue now.0 -
i really think that females should be able to be more than just casters and males should be able to be casters... i find it annoying...
there should be a choice of what class you can be for each gender and race... not just "your class is decided by gender/race" but more like " pick a race, pick your gender, now pick your class"... is that too much to ask for?0 -

Yes and no. It depends a bit on the game, but in general, any combination of race/gender/class should be possible. There is no technical reason against that.
However, that might mean a lot of gfx. In the game I played before I came to Perfect World, you could select the gender freely, but your choice of class was limited by your race. However, this also meant that they didn't (for example) have to do "plate armor" for all races --- the race I played only had cloth and leather type armors.
In the game that I played before that they had a lot of different armor sets and free choice of race and jobs, so they had to do the full "matrix" of gfx. However, the races weren't all that different in looks, and I doubt the armor was redone from scratch for each of them.Yindra --- Lvl 64 Venomancer (Sanctuary)

On-topic
I too think it's a shame you can't choose your gender with venomancer and barbarian. Perfect World has such nice character customization, but it fails when it come's to them.
@ kargor
Yes you can simply make a male venomancer by taking a male human and adding ears and a tail.
I mean the only difference between a human male and an elf male is that the elf male has little wings on his head.0 -
All the classes have the same body mesh, although on a slightly different scale (and in the case of the Barbarians, presets include different body colors and texture). It's a different head mesh and (in venomancers) a tail mesh strapped to the back, neither of which should interfere with armor meshes and textures. That's part of why there's no hats shown in-game, for example (in addition to hat meshes making people near-identical).
It would likely involve some non-trivial artist time. Aligning meshes is not the hardest thing, with the right tools, but it can be time-consuming to do and test. I'm not sure it'd be the best use of development time, as opposed to increasing the variation available within the existing options.
There may also be cultural or secondary design issues underlying the concept.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
Couldn't how the genders look stay the same just assign the opposite skills to them if they choose veno or barbarian? Because being a male veno with a tail and ears is just as "wrong" as playing a female IMO0
-
I've found that people who are afraid to play a class they like simply because it's only available in female gender are generally kids 12 to 17, still confused and insecure, and trying to put on the whole "manly" image thing.... afraid they might bump into one of their friends from school in the game and get laughed at.
Grow up it's just a game, if more people would treat it as a game and not a form of "online dating",..... desperate nerds trying to pick up chicks, then you wouldn't really care would you????? I can't tell ya how many times ive seen some kid walking up to any random female char and asking them to be their "gf"..... lol had one hovering around me a couple days ago, a simple "pssst, c'mere and let me tell you something......... BUZZOFF KID" sent him on his way.0 -
I've may have only played for a few days, but I have made about 5 characters. Blademaster/male, Wizard/Female, Archer/Female, Venomancer and Barbarian.
I read alot on the forums before I even started to play (the downloading took forever), so I had a good idea on what classes I wanted. Most people did say that Venomancers are arguably the best characters to play, it's just too bad that they can only be female.
I can't believe that no one else has thought of this, but if they are the best character, doesn't that mean that girls just ROCK!!!0 -
While I am semi interested in the topic, however, I was interested in trying a female barbarian. I prefer to play female characters. I do not mind playing male character, but prefer females. I was kind of hoping to see if anyone had brought up a legitimate argument to get PW to try to implement female barbarians and yes male venomancers.0

This is not true I am a female and know a few people that play WF that are females. I really wish people stop thinking female's do not play.0 -
XD Wow. I never noticed that, and only the almighty-females can tame the things that come out of the eggs. b:laugh0

The male veno could look sort of druidish, that wouldn't be too bad.0
-
I really do hope you can play as a male venomancer sometime in the future. The reason why I say this is because I'm tired of being stalked around the world, and getting pms saying "you're sexy"....0

I reckon a male veno would look really cute! b:victory[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0

That wouldn't fit in with the whole Chinese mythology about Yao Jing's as they are mostly associated with females. Fox Demons or Hu Li Jing are mostly seductive looking female demons in Chinese mythology.0 -
Fox demons in Chinese mythology were exclusively female (and attractive ones at that) who are akin to vampires in Western mythology. They preyed on male travelers at night on lonely road and either drank their blood or ate them depending on who was telling the story. Additionally they could only reproduce by mating with a human male to produce either males who became legendary heros or females which become fox demons like their mothers. Almost all of these tales about relationships between female fox demons and male nocturnal lovers ended with some form of tradegy almost as if the story tellers were frowning on inter-specie relationships and this type of thinking is apparent even within the Perfect World universe - prime example being what happened to the venomancer NPC at the Gate of Antiquity who fell in love with a human male.
On the otherhand in Japanese mythology fox demons are more like woodland spirits and could be of either gender. Shippo from the Inuyasha stories being a good contemporary example. The premises behind Inuyasha and Kagome's relationship is interesting in its own right as by any definition it is inter-specie ...
PWI for the most part seems to be based on (one view) of Chinese mythology so in this context the female only venomancers makes sense. Not sure about werebeasts and their roots in Chinese mythology though, however, once again in the PWI context they make a good complement to female venomancers.
As for people playing characters of the opposite gender there is nothing intrinsically wrong with this whatever their personal reason. It should not be an issue as seriously, these are just games. It is, however, interesting to read some of the (passionate(?)) responses posted in this discussion.
One should not be looking for "love" within an online game - seriously - there are online dating sites and chat rooms for that sort of thing. And as for characters marrying each other ... maybe if they knew each other in real life that might arguably be a good thing, but even then it is potentially a problematic proposition.
Take the game for what it is, a few hours a day as a fantasy diversion, nothing more.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Every coin has three sides: head, tail and an edge ... it is the third dimension that gives us depth.0 -
