I have to say how I really appreciate how you've represented women in Desktop Dungeon, with the exception, that I already expressed some months ago, of how Desktop Dungeons falls into (along with huge swaths of other media, especially other video/computer games) the trope of portraying women as reskinned men. However, this post helps me appreciate that you were self-consciously trying to do better than the status quo while still knowing that you weren't going nail it perfectly.

Thanks!

I can't quite follow you. What would have to be different in DD to make the female hero not "reskinned"?

I'm with Dislekcia here. Sexual dimorphism thanslated into game mechanics would be wrong on many levels.
