(from Feudalism II online Flash game)

Female characters displayed, from left to right:

  • Selena, Princess of the Great Trade Republic (next to the Lord)
  • Elizabeth, Priest of Order of Holy Cross (next to the Bishop)
  • Olga, the major Druid of Forest Lands (next to the Chieftan)
  • Niora, Mistress of the East Empire (next to the Shogun)
  • Inga, Major Shaman of the Black Horde (next to the Khan)
  • Diana, Secret Assassin of the South Desert (next to the Ruler)

So apparently in this bizarre world populated exclusively with different types of white people and where you are either trying to conquer the world for yourself or your male counterpart.

To top it all off, the gameplay is a budget/flash version of Mount & Blade: Warband – a game with excellent gender representation.

I felt this one was worth bingo’ing specifically due to it having something in common with the Cammy pre-order outfit.  Apparently there is a real shortage of “crotch material” in the worlds of video games, and there is no limit to Sophita’s cruel transformation.

Designers, if you want to focus a costume on bits that you don’t have – consider doing some basic research on those bits.  Maybe ask some questions to people you know who have the bits.

For the good of everyone. Please.

Remember Crowfall? Since the last time we commented on it, the game grew a few more character options. Yet so far, the Assassin remains the same aggressively uncreative mix of a Warcraft elf, Black Canary and a drow. Plus (crow?) wings, splatter eye makeup/tattoo and a boob window, cause why the hell not.
With no improvement since Februrary, I thought I’d give her a try at the bingo.

I would gladly cross out “Looks nothing like the male version of the same outfit” square just by the virtue that so far most classes archetypes were designed relatively equal, but her people cheated out of it by being a female-only society.


As for the newer classes, Crowfall continues to be an uneven mix of designs that are nicely equal…

…ones that would be equal if less focus was put on female character boobs…

…(also why is male ranger allowed to be middle-aged while female one’s depicted as youthful and pretty?)…

….and this druid class, whose gender dimorphism status is stuck in the limbo until male version is revealed.

Here’s hoping the male druid would actually match her in the “vaguely forest-themed fancy fashion supermodel” department.

And since it’s an independent project that includes crowd-funding, I encourage everyone interested in becoming a backer to bring up the feedback

regarding character designs, both positive and negative, to the crew.
