Game slightly ruined

Of course, that's because 95% of players are male, not female, so it has to be that way, it's very hard to get into RPG when even your ingame gender is wrong...

Don't bother trying to relate to the half naked woman, just play the game and enjoy staring at her for hours on end!

You gotta be kidding me, you have 70% of internet content for those kind of things....btw, you do know what RPG means?

And no, and don't enjoy staring at her one bit, in fact, whenever I am reminded that I am playing as a woman the experience is lessened.

You really beleive that 95% of players are male? And what does in-game gender have anything to do with 'getting into' RPG.

Sorry, my mistake, it's more like 99%.

Everything, of course.

I don't think many female will play this kind of game but saying 95% or 99% players are male is being ignorant.

Female protagonist is not uncommon in novel and that does not stop people (male and female) to get into (or immerse into) the story so the gender in this or any other game should not stop people from getting into the story. It's a problem of strong self awareness instead of game design or story plot.

No, not 95% OVERALL GAMERS are male, but the figure isn't exactly far off. But when it comes to KB, I am willing to bet that 95% or even more is the male populace. Girl gamers usually play casual games like zuma and whatnot, KB is too complicated and involved for most girls to get into.

I don't mind the half-naked thing. I even put her nickname "Amelia the Napaljena" (Napaljena = Horny) to match her.

It may be too complicated if you try to get the highest score, otherwise it is rather simple and what is more essential for female gamers looks like a beautiful fairy tale. I personally know many girls, who played it and enjoyed, even if they are very far from gaming.

I agree it does look "cute" to some extent and it may be a plus for girls (especially the dragon, which, even though I'm not a fan of, have grown a soft spot looking the way he plays with the snail).

But still, I haven't played on easy to figure out how easy the game on that setting is (I assume most of the 2-3% of girls that play KB will play on easy).

That is your prejudice on female gamer. There are (not many but they exist) hardcore female gamer.

I don't see you're disagreeing with me.. How many professional female chess players do you know? I'm not saying females are stupid, their brain works on a different frequency, that's just the way it is.
