Character creation is actually bugged.

Up until a certain point it auto switches.

After certain actions it stops auto switching.

That is body type switches the "identity".

Certain actions stop the auto switch though.

The entire layout, not to mention options, is sort of trashy so go figure.

No, this is vital information. It's completely immersion breaking.

Did one of the gods cast "Detect Gender" on everyone in the world?

That's literally the standard for RPGs. NPCs will literally know your name and what you look like before actually meeting you. Either this is your first time ever running into this sort of thing, or you're not actually worried about immersion as much as you say/think you are.

Besides... how is it immersion breaking for an option to exist that you won't choose? If you want to play the game before unpacking that in therapy, why not just play without that option?

Like, I'm probably going to make a plain dude with a ♥♥♥♥ and no tits (and probably a handlebar mustache), but if it brightens someone's day to make some nonbinary fineary with curly pink hair and vitiligo cranked up to 11, then I'm glad it's in the game!

Inb4 people start seriously complaining about being misgendered, and how harmful it is to them etc, while running around naked with a trans body... :spacehamster:

It brings up the entirely valid question of how the hell everyone in the world knows what pronouns to use for you.

How does some random NPC know that this very obviously male individual is actually a woman?

It’s done via email signature blocks, maybe there is some correlation, but none of this was an issue before the internet…

Not complicated.
The majority shouldn't bow down to 1%
Acceptance isn't to bow down, it's just to show some common courtesy and respect for your fellow humans.

Also, my feminine male Dragonborn doesn't care what you think. The fact I could create a proper femboy dragon tops any argument against it :D

I'm no stranger dragonborn or femboy character designs... but I can't for the life of my figure out what a femboy dragonborn would look like.

Can you explain? Femboy designs typically differ from cis women designs, but I can't picture how that would look for dragonborn.

Nobody is bothered by that. I think people are just not all on board with having to deal.with story NPCs like that, jumping through story 'quests' for them that pertain to them being special that way....

the word "fragile" must really hurt you if you try to attack legitimate complaints with that.

For eff's sake...God I miss the good old days when something like this wasn't even a thing...

where do I go to check what pronouns I have selected? I swear I thought I selected male but in quest log and stuff I see alot of "we" etc. I want to make sure I chose what I thought I did

Why should what's in someone's pants dictate whether you use "he" or "she"? And why is your reaction to someone using a different word so volatile? If someone looks like a Tim but they are a Derek, are you "bowing down" to the <1% of the population named Tim? Using a person's preferred pronoun is just as easy as using their name. Not complicated.

??? WHAT???
So lets call a blonde a dark and blue eyed, brown eyed, since whats on your body shouldn't define you.
Its part of you, it is YOU, birds have wings, they can fly, a woman has a v***a she can give birth, a male cant give birth, he is not a female and has different organs.


You "people" make us all look bad, one billion Hindus and one billion Chinese look at western woke ideology and assume we ALL f*d up in the west, all because of you.
You people make us look bad across the whole world, because people outside N.A and some big cities in EU are not like that, they all NORMAL.

Acceptance? We will gladly accept you in the psychiatric ward !

Is there anyway you can check what pronouns you have? I can't find the option even in character creation.
