This has been an age-old complaint, notwithstanding the fact that Kingsisle seems to have a fairly even distribution of female staffers in positions of influence to guide design choices and be more inclusive of female characters.

Why, then?

Because there are NO female undead in this part of the Spiral ( so no models to base them on ). Apparently, females don't die or they very sensibly stay in their graves.
A Lady Blackhope style spirit or Banshee would have rounded off that list nicely.

I hadn't thought of that. But that is also why a charred mouse girl would have been quite the collectible companion.

I wonder what the Banshee would be like? I imagine her to be witchdoctory, hurling energy-like curses and hexes, and using her morbid screeches to dispatch an enemy. Lady Blackhope could be swashbuckler based, but I had a hard time thinking of a class for her, since she could also fit underneath the witchdoctor class as well. Banshee could also be a buccaneer...

I would like to see a zombie female rat, with decaying, greenish skin, bloodshot eyes, and some bone showing along her skull, tail, and limbs. Maybe you could take Mustang Sally and turn her into a horse skeleton. That would be interesting!

Since the last time this subject was discussed ( see: List of all female companions ) two more are now part of that list - the mouse privateer & Black Annie Rackham. This brings the number of female companions up to 21( and not all are available to everyone ), that's still low but KI seems to be trying.
Would an all female companion pack satisfy anyone?

Yes, let's have the Largo Lady Pirates Booster Pack!

5 female companions - one for each class
Sleek siamese cat pet
ELEGANT gear set, fit for meeting royalty for tea

Why? Well, its because females are apparently immune to the zombie virus!

I would love if there was a pack with all females in it, since there aren't that much female companions in this game.

having a sarah steele model in an undead based pack would make little sense

Sarah Steele or Lucy Sterling as a charred zombie/undead companion makes as much "sense" as a third Dead Mike/S. M. Arson companion. Does recruiting companions have to make sense now? What about Blightbeard & Black Annie? They're supposed to be denizens of the Nightmare Realms; are we supposed to drag these creatures into our world and make them part of our happy crew?
This makes NO sense at all.
