(XBOX)NexusThanatos Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 I was thinking while running around with my volt, you know how some Warframe skins have a toggle for the prime elements? Well I thought "What if they added a toggle for a Warframe a gender?" So you could have a male valkyr or a female Revenant.
Godzilla853 Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 this has been brought up before and DE stated No to that. 2
Birdframe_Prime Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Oh, is it Wednesday already? Wait... Wednesday is Nerf Trinity day... You're early on the weekly Warframe Gender thread my friend ^^ DE have already answered this question, several times actually. What they said was this: They were originally going to do this, however they decided against it specifically so they could use the female/male models as entire new Warframes, not as the ability to gender swap. That's why on the very original Warframe pitch you can see a 'female' Excalibur model, but this was instead made into Nyx. They even wrote this into the Lore with The Sacrifice quest explaining how Warframes were originally made in universe and why this means they appear to have 'genders'.
(XBOX)NexusThanatos Posted February 19, 2020 Author Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Welp, "You know DE, They won't do it" And this IS my first time coming on forums so I felt like asking. Edited February 19, 2020 by (XB1)NexusThanatos Added info
Chaemyerelis Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 That wouldn't make sense with the lore that they have set.
(XBOX)NexusThanatos Posted February 19, 2020 Author Posted February 19, 2020 I know, it was a joke me and my friends made, we would talk about something that would be cool to add or change or something that was going to be added or changed but never did or wasn't released the way people expected than we would say "You know DE, They won't do it" it's not supposed to be an insult.
Shaburanigud Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Well since if we're gonna go by a joke, DE did bring a bunch of mustaches last year So maybe we could get something similar to that. A pink Ribbon I guess?
(PSN)FriendSharkey Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 After completing the Umbra quest a female Rhino doesn't seem possible due to the underlying story arc that is both tragic and horrific at the same time for every frame so far released and to come...
vomder Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 At some point though, coming up with new frames and a whole set of powers is going to be harder and harder. I could definitely seem them going back and making new frame designs for this very thing.
TheGodofWiFi Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Not this again. It's like groundhog day. This is why sticky threads at the top of the forums are necessary.
(PSN)thegarada Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 It will not happen, not cuz it is a bad idea (though it does conflict with lore), but cuz it would require too much work. DE has to go through and create a male and female version for every frame and every skin they have. Way too much work.
(PSN)Ozymandias-13- Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 The closest you're going to get is new frames that are seemingly the love child of existing frames that may be a different gender than the parent frame. The more frames they come up with the more overlap you're going to see in kits and themes.
(PSN)Morrdak Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 DE may have said no to this option already... but this is truly important to some players. My wife for example won't play Rhino cause she wants to choose a female she-hulk version... being able to choose a gender is part of their roleplaying experience. I have been gaming for a long time and this is a basic level of character development.

realmzjetter Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Since gender is a social construct and warframes are just meat with some metal stapled on, I dont think anyone would consider them as having a gender. Edited March 5, 2020 by realmzjetter
Formous Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 No. Lore wise, it makes no sense. Warframes are all patterned on a Person, a Unique Person, who is without equal in their field. All Warframes are copies of that person. There was only 1 Mortal Saryn that the Orokin made into a Warframe, and so all Saryn's inherent the original Prime's power. There was only 1 Rhino Prime who went insane and ate a tower of people. Literally.
