So a male magic user is perfectly relatable, despite the very premise of the magic in question being impossible, but if there are any feminine characteristics to an inch high avatar on your computer screen, that just defies any possibility of playing with that character. You can not even have a male inch high main character standing next to a female inch high party member / mercenary? It is not relatable that you could possibly work with a female?
I played a female character in Divinity 2 because I didn't really care for any of the male voices (while one female voice was good). I showed my brother the game, and when he saw me playing briefly some time later (with a few armour upgrades) he thought I had started over with a male character.
