Can we keep gender politics out of videogames?

Thanks.

Well if you want to make a poll for this I'll gladly join since I'm Non-Binary myself ❤️

Just nitpicking here but, Feo Ul did refer to herself as a she in the English version, so some pixies might use gendered pronouns

I thought the premise behind this thread was a bit odd because I thought I remembered Feo Ul being female in the questline. Thanks for confirming that. Looks like the only 'nonbinary' pronoun used then was the fact she was referred to as King of the Pixies. Where King is a title earned, not born into in this case.

So if culture comes before emotional feelings. I'm good with that.

I now have an image of a WoL going full on rage mode with the "Did you just assume my gender?!" thing when NPCs incorrectly refer to them as he/she.

I think it's something they can keep in mind for any future MMOs, but I don't know that it would be feasible here. The game currently has triggers for male/female in the code and there are dialogue differences based on that. Even if you could manage to implement logic that used a third or even fourth trigger, you have translations to consider that would also have to be modified to use the same triggers. And considering how certain words or phrases in one language may be different or non-existent in others, that may not be the easiest thing to correlate. I work as a software engineer and we have a customer-facing product in multiple languages and translations can be the bane of our lives sometimes.
