Sorry about the freeze-gamer posting. It’s good news tho.

    Does Starfield even require that you select pronouns? Most games I’ve played with a selection (Sims, Forza Horizon, Baldur’s Gate 3) just default them to the characters’ body type

      It does and then completely ignores them. I select they/them and have been misgendered multiple times by NPCs.

      So in that way it’s pretty true to life

      It gives you the defaults for the body type and then allows you to change them if desired. I can’t imagine getting worked up over it, in like a billion hours of gameplay there’s 5 seconds easily missed where they acknowledge pronouns exist, the horror.

          Damn I didn’t know all that. I quit an hour in after realizing the hype about the space adventure was pure bullshit and they made an inferior travel system to No Man’s Sky

      I haven’t played it myself.

      It’s a pity because Bethesda is historically an anti-trans studio who fired someone for being trans, from what my trans comrades tell me.

        Yeah, I heard they fired an ESO artist who was trying to take leave for gender affirming surgery or something like that.

        It’s all rainbow capitalism until it inconveniences the bosses.

            Yeah, ESO is from ZOS, IIRC that’s Zenimax Online Studios or the like. Absolute dogshit company in general which is a shame because ESO is all the cool, weird shit in Elder Scrolls that the mainline hasn’t touched since Morrowind outside of the brief aside in Oblivion with the Shivering Isles.
