Aha! I have found evidence of Strangers gender... After playing through the entire game again. God- I'm stupidly persistant
Evidence:
Grubb 1: That Steef, man,
he looks like
he means business.
Grubb 2: Yeah! I bet
he could crack a Wolvarks skull with meathooks like
his!
How to obtain evidence (There are many other instances where Stranger is reffered to as 'he', but this is the most obvious I can remember off the top of my head):
After the boat missions, you go into a cutscene involving Grubbs. After the cutscene, do not get back into your boat. Just stay and listen to their conversations. After a while, the previous conversation will happen. They only seem to have 3 conversations in that location.
I will try to record this... And any other I can find. Time for teh supa micro fone!1
As for the complete dissmissal of the possibility of Stranger being female, I guess it is just people agree-ing with their own views, and no one elses. As I was trying to say, but due to my stupidity in checking my grammar, it wasn't exactly legible. I meant: I would accept Stranger to be female. And I said 'except'. Gak!
