Can you make a female character and do the legion campaign?

Yes. Despite their "No girls allowed! :stare:" attitude :hehe:

It's just the Arena they can't do right?

Yep the arena is the only set back... and to be honest you aint missing much.

Nearly all of my Legion playthroughs have been female (because I mostly play female) only once did I stray and that was to play the arena...which was stupid. The Courier is just a tool to all of these factions, you don't actually matter, it's what you can do that matters.

That made me picture a tree house with a bunch of legionaries in it with a piece of paper nailed to the door saying "No girls allowed!" :laugh:

That exactly was my intention :hehe:

I never knew that women couldn't do the arena. Thats funny because you fight a woman in it. However, I have a new appreciation for the Legion.

The "no girls allowed" remark reminded me of Al Bundy's "No, ma'am" club.

@Meghan

What do you mean, the Courier is just a tool for the factions? Isn't it the courier's actions that shape the future of the Mojave? It's the Courier who decides which faction will become the dominant force.
