what we have is better than nothing, but no I don’t think it’s sufficient.
That was my thoughts aswell ... thank you.
I don’t, however, have any particularly strong views about the fact that the current implementation means it’s possible to create a character that would look quintessentially male but would automatically be referred to as “she” by all NPCs
Well, it was just an example ...
I picked this combination of body and identity, bcs its easier to point out ... but if you pick neutral pronoun, its just as weird that everyone in the world automaticly know that you dont like to being called anything else.
in English the gender of the PC is referred to so rarely that I personally don’t feel it’s particularly jarring.
Ha, lucky English.
Im Czech, as stated in the past ... we have different mindset i would say ... bcs in my language, gender of both speaker and person who is talked about affects orthography(?) of the rest of the sentence.
Even tho i must admit that for many younger people such nuances are lost and they stubbornly refuse to learn those rules.
But on the other hand, sometimes its funny when they create sentence where person changed gender every two words.
I’d be more than happy to discuss what improvements could be made that could make roleplaying such characters more realistic, but don’t personally have any suggestions that I feel are workable and would be a significant improvement.
It heavily depends on what would people want ...
I mean, if *i* would want to create trans character, i would have simmilar aproach to it as with "evil race" ...
Point of playing an evil race (for me) is to experience prejudices ... you dont really want them to expect you to be Good Drow ... you want them to expect you to be Evil Drow, and then persuate (or prooven) them to be wrong.
Simmilar ... i wouldnt want them to expect me to be whatever i pick in character creation ... i would want them to presume that im what they see, and have option to corect them.
But since i can imagine some people can be quite frustrated from this ... i gues it wouldnt add much to the game experience. :-/
