I am disappointed that there are customizable characters and no female choice. I am still going to give the game a shot, but it would make the game better for me if the customizable choices included the option to play as a female character. Even like a "Brienne of Tarth" style female character so you wouldn't have to do a different model. :)
I am enjoying the game overall, but will echo what others have said about the strength of the hero. Basically the only reason I ever lose is if I forget to assign the hero to the back.
