are all animal companions male?

[Icedfate]

not that it matters, mechanically. i'm just noticing that every single animal companion in my party, i got them for 5 characters has spawned in as a male.

it's just that it specifies the gender and then you have/get to name them, but if they are always male, why even specify the gender?

unless, is it random, like a 50/50 coin flip and i just happened to get heads. . about 12 times in a row?
i've been save scumming at this level up to see if it is random and so far, 12 reloads, i got a male every time

They're all male. Except for Aivu.

I just ignore the gender icon for companions. Its not referenced in any way, nor do they have the 'parts' on their models. I'm sure there's probably some way to adjust the gender setting with mods but it doesn't really matter.

Erm ... the sex is set? Never saw that, I always assumed it isn't specified and named and roleplayed my first animal companion as female.

With the power of imagination, and this being a single player game, your animal companion IS female. Do not let the limitations of code, or the inability to select animal companion sex/gender ruin your immersion.

Already, WOTR expands on animal companions, when/if they make a 3rd Pathfinder game, perhaps we'll see even FURTHER expansion of animal companions!

This bothers me, I wish I could select the sex of my animal companion, I love female cats.

Kinda like why give a birth day to the characters if this do literally nothing

Its a holdover from Kingmaker. Where they did celebrate your birthday.

Sounds like a waste of space for Events....

Yeah, now that I know I'll keep ignoring it. It just surprised me.

Why, are you considering romancing your Mammoth?

[ajfusch]

I wouldn't have to ignore its sex if it was male, then, lol.

No, I just like to imagine the occasional female animal companion. For variety.

We're all Trisexual for Bismuth.

Sexual dimorphism displayed by both animal companions and familiars are largely modeled after their male counterparts. Ducks being more noticeable on this than others.

Owlcat simply didn't bother creating female models. Not like they couldn't give us a sex choice either way. It just wasn't noteworthy for them to implement.

Not like the animals are going to reproduce so why the hell they would add that

Camp banter can mention the commander's birthday.

I've got like 700 hours in this game and not once have I given a crap about the sex of my animal companions lmao. Didn't know it was even recorded in the game.
