No girls?

This game seems to have it all. Nice looks, good action, awesome guns, but the icing on the cake is the character customisation, of course.

But I was so disapointed when I realised there is no way to play a female character! Being an hardcoe gamer girls as I am, I was very excited to play Brink, but now, I'm not so sure. I mean, it is 2011, how hard is it to put bobbies on an avatar? No, seriously I know it is not that simple, I'm a junior game designer myself, but a game that put that much care on customisation should have a female option, even if it is only 1 body type. If halo can do it...

Anyway, I know gamer girls usually don't play AAA games, but remember that more women over 18 play videogame that guys under 18. Even better, 40% of gamers are girls.
(ok, I know, technically Farmville is a game so they count towards the 40% but meh, anyway)
It is like going in circles, the less attention game designer will give to women, the less they will care about hardcoe games.

I know it is too late for a female character une Brink, but I just wanted to point ou that it svcks.

thx.

I understand your concern and I, as a boy, would have liked female characters as well. Due to certain design decision the devs made, they cut the female characters.

There's a detailed explanation in the Official FAQ: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1113952-brink-faq/ (look at the last question and check the link)
