Full ack! Although I would call myself somebody who is pretty conscious of sexism in daily life I actually never objected to having to play a male character in a computer game. There *are* computer games I do object to playing at all, like that whole "beach volleyball" stuff which is really just pathetic and some other things that are really just brain-dead and simply not appealing to me. But if a game is interesting and fun to play I really don't care what kind of character I play. So, I guess you could send a wishlist bug or even better a patch I you personally mind, but IMHO this is not a terribly pressing issue. Best regards, Meike PS: And by the way, I'd rather play ten times Gordon Freeman than once Lara Croft ;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
