This is an outrage! This is obviously a snide, purposeful attack on women everywhere, to deny us the ability to create a female character! Insulting!!!

And to think that it could have been 204 Quadrillion if they had included female characters.

(But, honestly, this isn't all that impressive. You can probably make more characters in Oblivion or Fallout.)

The point I'd make is that they have that much variety and yet no female option?! 'Tis a worthy and fair point to make, no matter the discussion either way.

You've probably heard this already, but adding a female option would include re-doing every single last part of the character customization system, and re-doing all of the animations.
They couldn't've planned for that from the beginning?
Given deadlines and budget restrictions, that's not something they can plan.

My only beef with those numbers is the lacking amount of music. Now I know most games don't really have all that extensive soundtracks, well not shooters at least, but a game using numbers as a way to look impressive should have a little more of it.

You know! Its... uhhh...

*looks up definition*

1. adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.

2. the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished.

3. a sound, unimpaired, or perfect condition.

... wow, actually sounds kinda boring and dull... fuck it, automatic grenade launcher?

I think thats the thing that people use to keep their pants up.....

Also, despite all that customization, it'll be the same 3 or 4 characters in all black over and over and over and over...

Keep begging for female characters, and they'll just stick boobs on the male character models and call em' female. Then you'll be screaming to take them out. That'll learn ya' won't it?!?

But yeah, that's a lot of customization. A lot of people will probably be using:

For Enforcers:
1) Some kind of obvious/bulky body armor
2) Gas mask of some sort
3) Trenchcoat

For Resistance:
1) Bare chest or Trenchcoat
2) Bald

Calling it now.

And still, im quite sure that you can only spot the difference between them at about the count of 100.. This meaning that the difference between most characters beeing so small you will have to take a really good look to see it.

But even that is an amazing number..

If they had female characters there would be at most 204 quadrillion unique characters.

I still think throwing in a female model and textures wouldn't have been that hard.
Everything they did to make a male character, they would have to have done again.

All of those customizable options, but they couldn't get more than 8 voice actors? >_>"

Unless "packs" means an unspecified number of voices in different catagories like smart ass, insane, smart ect.

Looks like an impressive number...

... until you realise there are, for example, over 2,887,378,820,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (not, I didn't have a minor stroke using the '0' key) facial combinations for the Hero of Ferelden (including gender and race) in Dragon Age: Origins.

i would rather women not be playable then have some idiots running around playing as female characters doing stupid things and somethings you cant discus in good company <--- and thats just the most minor thing they would be doing...

Meh, sounds a lot like Borderlands who claimed to have like hundreds of thousands of guns and really in the end it didn't feel like it at all, and I have a feeling these tint variations won't really be that noticeable. Just because you have a tiny tint difference it really shouldn't count as a whole unique character.

102 Quadrillion guys and not a girl to see.

...How exactly was it reasonable to put so much work into the guys and not include girls, as opposed to a somewhat lesser quality of work that included both guys and girls? The numbers would still be staggering as far as how customizable the characters are.

If two things aren't observably different, then they are the same thing.

Probably closer to
8 voices
10 ways to die
100 weapon sounds
1000(tops) lines of dialogue (though this is an iffy inclusion
500 weapon combinations (though probably only about 50-100 will be popular)
