One thing I find curious about games in general is while many allow the option to choose your character's gender, if often ends up being mainly an aesthetic choice. 99% of the game remains identical whether you choose a male or female hero, with the remaining percent largely coming down to which character you want to see on your screen (and the occasional remark of "sir" or ma'am" by a random NPC). It largely ends up being an inconsequential choice in terms of where the story goes, with very little change (if any) with how the world reacts to your character.
I must admit I'm not familiar with the Divinity games (or the CRPG genre as a whole), but hearing the praise about the story has certainly piqued my interest for the game, particularly the fact that the game lets you choose 2 protagonists.
I realize this is still a new game and people are still busy uncovering all of it, but I was curious if this was one of the rare games where your main character's gender actually has some impact in the story? Do certain story moments play out differently depending whether your interacting character is male or female? Does it change certain quests in the game?
Just curious if the world in the game feels like it acknowledges your character's gender, as I feel that's something not often seen in games. Thanks.
