Pronouns?

[Mavrias]

Gonna be real with you chief, I'd rather you kept the "she" there. It added a lot more emotional punch to his speech than if he'd just said "they" which, by the way, a lot of people still go "isn't that plural?" when they hear or read it. A lot of people are more used to directed he/she's and would think the dialogue is weird if everything was aimed in third person.

I could see the argument for recording more voice lines for different options, but cutting back on them seems like the opposite of a good idea.

Why would the addition of the choice "they" to the traditional choices of ""she/he" dilute that in any way? You could still pick "she" if thats what you wanted.

Additionally "they/them" has been used as a singular pronoun for literal centuries. So those people would still be incorrect. That's a very tired excuse that never made sense.

Yeah we're talking about going forward.

The man was talking about cutting back voice options in favor of having everything third person.

I explicitely said I could see the argument for adding more options, but not for removing them.

Granted I still think it's not worth the additional effort, but I'm not going to deny that you lot have a point. Everything weighed on a scale I still think SE's current direction is the correct path to follow that makes the most sense, but you're not going to catch me saying that adding more options is a strictly negative thing.

As long as Khenda's being referred to as a woman throughout the game I really couldn't care less.

That reply is referring to removing gendered language as supposed "progress". Even the OP here didn't go that far, they were only asking for the option of a neutral pronoun.
