Character creation question

Since voice acting is minimal I assume that picking characters gender in cc will simply switch the way npcs address you and such through text. So I was wondering if it would be possible to introduce pick your gender/pronouns button instead of it defaulting automatically to the bodytype you pick?
I don't believe this would introduce too much additional work for the coding but would mean a lot to queer players. Thank you in advance!
Ps: if you are as a player isn't interested in this you can make a masculine looking character and pick "man" or vice versa without losing anything because it was added.

Also if you check info about marriage system in the Wiki it says they have no plans for gender neutral pronouns however they allow same gender marriage.
That horse shit awful battletech game that came out a year or so ago used pronouns instead of gender... As you can probably imagine they went out of their way to have a very fast and loose take on the source material.
If I had more time, I would write a shorter post.
Those... ARE.....genders.
And of course I can rp it and I do because its rarely done. Why do you think it would have a significant cost in development? I'm not talking about any cosmetic changes just text based pronouns/addressing/titles. Nothing new is added it just lets you set you yourself.
I know about all of those and I'm very happy about same gender marriage (tbh if they didn't have it I would be very surprised) and I'm just as excited to be able to play in cc to make my characters look a certain way. A bit bummed out about no neutral pronouns but that's not surprising in an AAA game and I wasn't hoping for that. I do play a lot of indies where its possible so thats that.
I wonder if the character creator will have sufficient flexibility to accomplish what is wanted. For example, create a short, slender male with long hair and a feminine face. Or the large, muscular buzz cut female. I bet one could accomplish that if you worked at it.
I’m not interested in learning the “correct” sex based terminology for dwarves, elves, orcs and Tulnar. Nor should I be forced to for political correctness.
Male and female is easy enough for me.
For Tulnar the pronouns are (was/were).
If I had more time, I would write a shorter post.
It's not important, it's just causing inconvenience for the sake of feeling important.

While this does not effect me, In the same forum we are speaking of using general area highlights on a minimap, in which afew people speak of it ruining thier immersion in the game.
If we are concerned about game immersion then this seems like an essential for some people. It is non consequential and has no real effect in the game but it may be important to those it effects
If someone was honestly trying to role play a female. They would make a female character. Not a male character with the pronouns: (Her/She) and, visa versa.
Reading any more into it sadly just makes this a political discussion with no real winners when it should be a philosophical discussion with no real answers.
If I had more time, I would write a shorter post.
Agreed. Also a moot (ehem) discussion according to what was posted in the wiki regarding gender neutrality.
No. I just don’t need a tick box to tell myself what I’m playing as. I don’t think anyone else would or even should care about the gender I’m playing.
Have faith that the character creator will be good enough to build the character you want to play as.
Funny Skeletons are the same
I'm not sure if those 2 arguments for immersion are on equal footing as a minimap with highlights has true in-game relevance , and as i'm not very concerned or into immersion drama.
Even tho i do acknowledge that it may be important to some people i would be interested to know by how many. Because for the vast majority it seems to be quite unreasonable and irrelevant.

PS Handsome Jakx, the word is 'moot' not 'mute', speaking of things that don't matter to most people.
THIS GUY IS ON A ROLL
ahahahaha
Yes, this is true, the problem is, if IS would take everyone's personal "important" minor changes it would create a insane amount of possibly not very relevant small changes clogging truly important and meaningful major implementations.
Thats why some people makes threads to show their opinions of a possible small additions and see if it ressonates with other people in order for it to have appeal to a vaster public and raise its chances of being implemented.

Noted lol
1. Where does it stop? Your question might be innocent enough but if the shit that's been going on recently hasn't shown it enough. It's not just adding one pronoun currently. It's adding 100 because everyone wants their own special little call card now.
It's not just a pronoun, why can't i have the female animation as a male character? It's not much work it's just ticking off a box that makes the game switch out the animations. Why aren't there options to make the slider go a bit more into the masculine/feminine. It kicks open a can of worms of "you made this much accommodation? Just this much?"
2. Your main point is to be addressed by npcs as your prefered pronoun which makes absolutely no sense in any way shape or form unless they already know you and you told them specifically. If you want to be hugged in a fantasy game, you might want to actually change your rl situation and I'm talking from personal experience. If it's that bad, a game won't help. (as a note, I doubt it's that and I doubt your request is that innocent from how that first post reads, but you never know)

That is a 2min thought, I can`t imagine how long the list might be if to consider all and how directing to be better address one area may in fact inadvertently affect another.
"I want to play as a Human that identifies as an Orc, so I want to be a green-skinned Human, and I want the religion from World Of Borecraft that I've been playing for the past 12 weeks, and I want to only have one leg cos I identify as a one-legged Orc, and I want one half of my body to be really really fat and the other really really thin to represent the multiple sides of my personality, and I want my character to be so stooopid that he drools all over his fat arm, and I only want Spanish profanities filtered out, and ..."
I am fine with profanities from any language, but those Spanish ones really hurt.
If I had more time, I would write a shorter post.
