Hopefully the rumors are not true (Destiny)

The rumor mill says that this game will not allow you to select a gender and will force you to play as male (as if they couldn't go the Mass Effect route and hire two voice actors).

I'm not opposed to having a voiced protagonist, but that raises another question about the stats system. In previous fallout games, you could totally sabotage your intelligence, which resulted in dialog choices that were bumbling doofus level. This would not translate at ALL to voiced conversations unless they recorded multiple versions for each tier of intelligence. I'm just hoping that they aren't planning on a total overhaul of the stat system, as that is one of the things that has always made Fallout so S.P.E.C.I.A.L.!
