Sorry but neither of them are females.

That's probably one of the only terrible outcomes of this project that won't happen. I suspect the real actors have run into the "director's wife" situation before (re: Kate Capshaw in Temple of Doom). That road does not lead to success.

You know, her career started at age 3 in '56 with a soap opera, and she had two movies before Indy, right? (Well, one movie and a TV movie.)

The sharpshooter holding the rifle when he's doing the pistol animation makes this relevant to Star Citizen.

It happens to me fairly frequently. The best part is the guns get "swapped" for the rest of the mission, he'll hold the pistol like it's a rifle while idle/moving and fire it when using the "fire sniper" or "overwatch" actions and then shoot the rifle like it's a pistol any time he does something with the pistol.

Did they keep the bug from XCOM1 where you can overwatch with the sniper for only one action point?

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

In addition to what others have said, I think CR's "saviour of PC gaming" mentality enters into it. He can't be the saviour if he does the same stuff that PC games are already doing. EVERYTHING has to be new and the product of his genius mind so that those he saves will owe their thanks to Christ Roberts and Christ Roberts alone.

Although why he has to reinvent so many wheels but is happy to use the Cryengine is beyond me.

Because CIG is the Monster Cables of Space Sims. Star Citizen will have an unprecedented system whereby you leave your ship controls, go to take a dump, lay on your rape cot and go into deep space hibernation. Thank god no one before Chris Roberts thought about having a "Save" option. They make every simple thing sound like it's unprecedented and terribly hard to implement which should be a huge red flag that you're being baffled with bullshit.
