Is there any reason you couldn't choose which gender you played as in this game? Many other open world games these days are giving female options like Assassin's Creed, Fallout and Horizon so why not this one?

Game wanted to be pretty realistic. Basically no female cowboys. And if you would play as one, the developers would have to make sure that like 90% of people of the NPCs would be aggressive towards you for not being a housewife. There's actually a quest in the game that somewhat addresses this.

Doesn't make sense at all given the game, the setting, and the period.

Because the game is going for realism and woman stayed home and cooked for there hardworking husbands during this time and didn't expect the right to vote, get paid the same and were just generally better people.

Now they are awful.

Wait for the online.

Plus Arthur is a great character I really don't see what a female could have done differently given the role and the setting.

The best option you got is someone like Sadie, even that is not that entertaining as being the lead enforcer in a gang.

I'm no God...But I'm the closest thing this world has to one.

Because not every game needs a female PC. Simple as that. Arthur is essential to the plot and the game as a whole this is HIS story we are playing through. It couldn't have been told this way and have such an amazing story and believable world if the protagonist was female.

Oh boy hope you have a decent set of fire resistant armor nearby

Can't imagine them recording that amount of dialogue for two characters.

Wouldn't have made sense for a woman to be doing the things Arthur does, and just plain can't in general. Not sexist but a woman wouldn't be able to fight multiple burly men bare handed.

Rockstar, unlike Ubisoft seems to actually care about historical accuracy for the most part.

Can you change from male to female in Red Dead Redemption 2?

In short, the answer is no; there is no option to change your gender in Red Dead Online. Because of this, we recommend being careful before making any final decisions when first creating your character.

Does Red Dead Redemption have female characters?

Red Dead Redemption 2 is full to the brim of interesting and complex female characters, all with their own backstories, plotlines, and motivations.

Can you change from man to woman rdr2 online?

When the game starts, you're free to choose whether you want to be a man or a woman, then you're let loose with the customisation options. You start with a basic face, then you can change your nose type, jaw width, eye shape, and more.
