I just want to play as a female character now... Why'd they add her to the home screen like 20 updates ago if they had no intention of adding her in the next few updates? I've been waiting since they added her to the title screen to play, and have been putting off trying the releases until I can fuck around with my tits out
Because of how much extra debug work there would be (even slower updates). If you ever look at the release notes, the new quests for each update are added in the first update (19.0, etc). The rest of the updates are just bugfixes to make the updates functional (19.1, 19.2, 19.3, 19.4). The female PC has to have her own questline (outside the male PC), and any fixes made would have to be copied over between the 2..... as well as extra debugging just for unique issues that pop-up for her quests. That's alot of extra work, and updates would take even longer than they have lately (every ~6-8 months).
The idea is to do 1 update to do Female PC questline, once all the other questlines are done (and all their bugs fixed), so the focus can be on getting her quest done faster.
