This kind of statement requires additional information.
I don't feel cornered or defensive about this statement - but what exactly would you base a thought like this on? Why is a person any more or less apt to pick a certain gender for a certain role? Or are you just saying that you think it's one of the few girls in the game. Why? That could be at least two if not more people. So that's not saying anything. You might as well have said "My guess: I don't know, RB could have picked several people for his henchperson."
In which case, it doesn't give anyone any information, and ends up a pretty pointless statement in the first place, if one throws out the totally non-supported assumption based on a gender preference... or whatever one would call that.
Ok seriousness aside on the subject... *lol* Picked a lady... what is he lonely or something...
I just think RB would, nothing solid on why at all. I don't think you are Mafia though as I've been saying. If RB picked a guy I think he would have picked someone he doesn't normally get along with. Like it or not RB is a smart player, and he has modded enough games to know how we all think.
