Non-binary character creation screen!

Saints Row 2 had a gender slider and it was a great game

I wore a sun dress on my male character all the way back in 1998 in Ultima Online, WoW is super behind the times. Blizz devs too busy trying not to have Bobby’s kneecappers kick in their doors at night.

I agree, down with binary, long live quantum technology!

but for real, during character creation all you’re doing is choosing the bits your toon was born with, you’re free to identify them however you want.

Ideally they could take all of the options from male and female and let you choose from all of them. Might be hard to design, like would have to code in how female hair/makeup would lay on male frames and all that. I wouldn’t complain about them taking the time to design that, though.

Though that’s a good pickup (never heard of such person, doesn’t mean I shouldn’t have), however I would file that one more on history than famous in a “now” perspective.

I’d explain why I’m so against this idea, but I would get banned.

This has already been adressed by removing male bulges.

Cyberpunk was a huge smash hit right? Maybe they shouldn’t have wasted that development time.

As much as I am personally against this and think it’s wrong I will have to admit that I agree that they should do this in-game. Their values in-game should reflect their supposed values as a company.

There’s a whole wiki article full of enbies in pop culture and media; I’m sure plenty of folks are already aware of Demi Lovato, Sam Smith, and Asia Kate Dillon.

Just wanted to present an interesting (if not somewhat bizarre) example of a historical figure that stuck out to me.

It also doesn’t revolve around you or anybody advocating for positions like yours. Your opinions are no more valid than those held by people with differing opinions (outside of people hating other people based on said persons’ immutable characteristics).

I am going to state hard cold facts that may upset some, I am not intending to insult anyone, but some will take it that way. The first thing a hospital does when someone is admitted is determine sex/gender of a person. Why do doctors need to know the sex/gender? Certain treatments can kill a person depending on their sex/gender. Nobody is truly non-binary. People that were born a hermaphrodite (intersex) are either male or female biologically, and have to be medically treated by a doctor based on their chromosomes . Remember the ER doctor that gets a person unconscious isn’t wonder if they can treat a person medically as non-binary.

What people need to remember this is a roleplaying game, and you can be anything you want to be. Use your imagination, the sex/gender option is just to make it easier to select the appearance you want. Black people now can make black characters they can identify with if they choose to make a character that looks like them. The game has come a long way in appearances creation.

It may be that not in the races that we already know, but if for a new neutral race, something like that you would develop in robots similar to Neill Blomkamp Elysium movie for male appearance and a version of Anime nanoandroid waifus for a JRPG in female appearance style but that for the first time includes that third genre known as non-binary for your OWN TASTE.

Besides that it would be one more way to bring a more Magi-technology version of the tinker, if the next expansion does not ruin with that version of the mechanic seen in a supposed Russian leaked next expansion that predicted 9.2.

Uh…I fail to see how someone can be both transgender and nonbinary, at least at the same time. They seem to me to be mutually exclusive.

THIS! i Absolutely love this idea.

Prolly 'cause this isn’t The Sims.

Non-binary isn’t a physical sex so no.

At best you could hope for a pronoun selection? But even that seems rather pointless since most characters refer to you as an ambiguous champion anyway.

I just used his interviews as my source.

More bait than a fish and tackle store! :fish:

I read almost the entire article (which was heavily slanted against people who think this sort of thing is more about having attention than on being true to themselves, etc.), and I still don’t understand.

Maybe I’m just too old, but I legitimately cannot understand how one can be all of those things at the same time. I have to avoid thinking about this sort of topic too much because my brain just grinds to a halt when confronting the idea that three separate identities are legitimately considered to be able to exist simultaneously in one person.
