Brink: The Game with ‘Unlimited’ Customization

So, Bethesda has released some numbers that detail how absolutely amazing their new game, Brink, is at customizable avatars. And really, it is quite amazing that there is this level of detailed customization in a FPS. It’s ground breaking, truly, ground breaking. Apparently there will be 102,247,681,536,000,000 unique character possibilities. Yea, that’s 18 digits worth of hair, face shape, eye shape, clothing, etc options to make your avatar as unique and you-like (or not) as possible. 102,247,681,536,000,000 possible options, but not one of them, not a single one, is an option that lets you have a female avatar. That’s right, this game has no options to be a female character. 102,247,681,536,000,000 ways to be male, 0 ways to be female.

Quadrillions (yes, quad-rillion-s, multiples of quads of millions) of ways to be a male hero. Zero ways to be a female one. Zero, zip, nada, none, goose egg, not even one iota of a way to be female.
