Also, doesn't Stranger have... facial hair? Hell- if he were female, he be one ugulee freak.
Reasons:
1. His voice. This is stupid. I'd like to think that Stranger was male, for if he was female, that would be quite shocking. Imagine jo'momma (Not the boss...), talking to you like Stranger. "Where can I find, the nearest kitchen?". It just doens't make sense.
:
"The character would loose a lot of dignity and credibility"
Whoa, dude , Stranger does what Stranger does, how could gender have any bearing on dignity and credibility ? That`s some rather narrow thinking there.
Your right this is a game, a FANTASY game. Therefor the developers
can ,and should, do anything they want. They are not bound by laws of Reason or Physics, that would make for some dull game play. Keep in mind this is ODDWORLD, not yourworld.
Where the Hell is everyones imaginations, is Volsung and Esus the only ones that can think outside the box?

Everyone can easily think outsdie the box. Many people just find this terribley stupid/ humorous. I, for one, would find it interesting for OWI to explore different sexes. I mean, if he/it were female, he/it would have to be slightly bi-genderal (Whassa word...). Stranger would lose alot of diginity due to we couldn't see him/it the same way again. OWI would try to explore his gender, and they really shouldn't. We shouldn't relate to him- get to know him- he's a stranger. He is supposed to be shrouded in mystery.
2. Look at him. He'd have to be a pretty freakin' buff female. Just look at his gorilla arms. Freaky female, if so.
3. Beard, beard, beard, beard... If it was supposed to be slightly feminine, lose the beard, for Christs sake.
I would except it as female, but right now, all the evidence points towards Stranger being male. Gak.
