Heads up if you're planning to choose the nonbinary character option

"Here’s an example of what your child might call you. If you marry someone of the opposite gender, your child might call you Mama or Papa. If you choose to marry someone of the same gender, then your child will call you Mama or Papa, along with your farmer’s name. Nonbinary protagonists’ children will refer to their parents by name only." - taken from the blog post about localization.

Your child will refer to you by just your name, I know some cultures find this very disrespectful so you should take that into consideration.

It would also be disrespectful to say Mama or Papa to a nonbinary person, no? I’m confused.

They should of just let you as the player choose what you want to be called by your child as a separate option in character creation, the whole point of identifying as non-binary is to choose what you are comfortable with

I thought this was an odd decision from the devs. If I remember correctly, in the original version you got to choose the name your spouse called you. Why couldn't they do the same for what your child called you? Maybe I'm thinking of FoMT, but I was hoping when they gave us the non-binary option we'd get the option to pick what our children called us. I just personally don't like the Mama or Papa.

We're locking this thread as it has devolved into non-productive argument. Thanks for your understanding.
