This is probably a dummy question but I can't find the answer: in my house (real live house) there are 3 of us that play MW on xbox. Sometimes we find it hard to share. Since we just bought a new dell pc, we are getting the PC version of MW. I was checking out the patches, plugins, etc. and found a few postings on female characters in MW. I'm pretty positive the xbox MW doesn't have a female character that you can play. Does the PC version come with female characters you can choose from or is this a plugin that's needed? Did I miss the female character option when I created (3) characters during the past 2 mths. of playtime? Where's the girls at???

I don't have the Xbox version but I'm 99.999999999 percent sure they are there you just missed that when you were creating your other characters.

During the race/face selection, try using the sex option/switch (no, it won't turn the game into an x-rated experience).

My current char, Holly-Go-Lightly, a perpetually pms-crazed Red Gd Warrior, is of the female suasion. Something to consider; there's something like, I believe, a 10% strength penalty fr start to finish. Tho not crippling, the more you level, the more severe is the penalty, in terms of how much weight you can carry. Obviously, will be a significant # in late-game phase.

Jstnomega, it varies from race to race, but the starting attrib points are the same in number, but redistributed. The penalties do not alter anything but the starting figure.

sex of your char doesn't affect any of the skills or atributes. Though, tbh, I have never played a male char... :P.
jstnomega on 29/8/2002 at 02:45
Well, I could certainly be wrong. The in-box manual, imo, leaves more unexplained than it reveals. There's more I don't understand than there is that I do understand. It's been well over 2 mo's since I started this char & I assume I recall the strength stat differential, for this race of char anyway, fr way back at the beginning of my char creation. I'm left w/the sense that this char would have 10% greater carrying capacity w/a mere gender change, which would make some kind of sense.

Most female types will have less strength but more intelligence, willpower, etc.
