"But Slidell I want to be a female, either because I'm a female or have the desire to be on in game, or I don't think I'm up to the task of being Malcolm Reynolds."
I could see the ability to implement a female lead. She's usually a crew member, but if you choose to play as her she becomes sort of the secondary protagonist to Mal. He still comes on all the missions as an NPC though, sort of forced companion that semi calls the shots. IE gives you objectives that you would get either way whether you were playing Mal or not. You make decisions by convincing him to do something, not really through speech checks just by talking to him during the decision making process. It could work, I mean Mal's a badass but he's not the brightest guy.
Or have it be two similar, but different, games. The normal Mal quest, and then the Zoe quest as a New Game+.
Or give Mal gender change similar to Shepard. She'd be Mallorie, hell I don't know this is a work in progress, it's why I've edited it multiple times.
You'd buy eight copies. If you like firefly.
