Idiosyncratic Routine

the-madame-hatter:

What if game companies featured female characters in their marketing campaigns instead of always defaulting to male? The player chooses everything, why not represent that instead of ALWAYS going with the dude on the cover?

Look at this! It’s amazing! It’s just as gorgeous as the original and still makes me want to play the game.

I totally concur. I just watched the 20 minutes of gameplay footage posted last week (looks sweeeeeet) and was bemoaning that it’s all with the one dude with the horn helmet. I would have dug seeing the difference in movement of a female character, or even the fight style of the non-human races like an Argonian or Kahjit.

Still, so stoked!
