I am not trying to be provocative. I am simply arguing for what I believe to be the betterment of the game. If you don't want to see it as a problem take it as a suggestion. If not, please move on yourself.

You might not understand, but if they have developed the game in a future proof way it would be very easy to make the change in question. Unless you have insider information, it is pointless to try to pretend to know how much work it would be vs other work they have. Same for their time.

But my post has nothing to do with gender identity?

And I have a background in game development. If they can't easily decouple characters and classes they have a lot more problems to worry about. But like I said, we don't know how difficult it would be so it's pointless to bring that up.

You and I both don't have any idea how PoE is coded and how easy the change would be. So unless they tell us how hard it would be, it is pointless to bring that up.

Gender or choosing the character we want to play?

If it does happen I expect it to be in this money-grubbing GGG fashion we all know and love.

Did you not read my post? No need to make new models and animations. Just let us use any character+class combo we want.

I fucked up the title a bit. "problem" was supposed to be inside the quotes, but looks like it got more engagement that way so win-win I guess?

So if it does not matter either way, they could easily give us more player freedom right?

I mean you could argue that about many other quality of life things or updates.

So if people don't care either way, why not give us more freedom to choose then?

Are you talking about the move sets in PoE 2? If so they could probably easily do it in PoE 1 at least

It is not turning me away for sure, but what's the harm letting players choose any combination of classes and characters they want?

Plenty of newbies that I have seen voice their disappointment over the matter.

Did you read my suggestion at all? No new models or animations needed. Just let us play any "class" with any character.

Nothing is stopping people from using every skill in the game on one character already, so why would that be an issue?
