Not having to 'make up their own answer' for how to handle pronouns, for example. Singular-they seems to be becoming standardised, in mainstream coverage at least, though I don't know if everyone thinks that's the case or not.
    We can't even create left handed characters here, despite the fact that left handed people are pretty much accepted as human beings, so I wouldn't expect too much o.ô;

    (btw, why aren't left handed characters a thing)

    All summoners are lefties!

    (But yeah, the option would have been nice. No doubt would have meant sacrificing something else though. I'd take the ability to flip hairstyles over body animations, given a choice of one extra thing.)

    Wouldn't a left handed Summoner hold the book in the right hand? Because ingame, the Summoner write with the feather right handed and use also the right hand for the spells, I think. Mhh, should check it out next time I log in....

    Summoner keeps their spellbook in their right hand at all times, and writes in the book with their left hand when summoning.
