Customizable pronouns

[Iscah]

I need a citation for them programming in gender as a binary flag in this game because honestly, that's a ridiculous and resource-intensive way to go about it vs just defining a variable and calling that.

Obviously at this point it being an integer could help with the request (gender = 5) [...]

Gender is a binary flag because "binary" is how a computer thinks. It's the simplest piece of data they can store. One or zero; on or off. There's no "halfway".

there's also no "need" for it in the programming. It needs to know whether to display a male or female character model, and whether to apply "he" or "she" in the text. There aren't any other options programmed into the game that they need to reflect.

Ah, French localization. They gender everything. Indeed, it would be a localization challenge and for that, they could keep the same overly complicated gender deal going. Given that it's in French, I'm not going to take that as definitive evidence they program it this way globally. If they do, lol.

I assume the French programming needs to consult both the gender and race of the character to select the correct text string. It's not "an extra complicated pronoun tag". It's a line of script applied in that instant, not something that needs to be stored for the character.

. Serious question. How many people in this thread, not virtue signaling, would actually mess around with the pronoun thing longer than they did picking their "birthday" in this game? And not cause it'd be funny have everyone call you "zer". Seriously it would make this game better for you, that kind of "use".

That's not a great analogy. If it was an option it would be a lot more visible than the character's birthday - you set it at the beginning and probably don't adjust it later, yes, but it would affect every single time your character is addressed by gender.

It's on par with selecting your character's race and gender, and other highly visible options that you can't change (Fantasia aside) once you've set them.

Thank you my potatoe shaped friend lol. I have aultism myself and I myself deal with the issue's. I'm not normal, I have a illness. I just don't care! If people accept me fine, if not idc. I'm not gonna demand SE let me make my wol autistic as a result. Be happy with who you are, but don't expect the entire world to conform to your needs I say.

An autistic WoL wouldn't work anyway - they need the natural social skills that we struggle with.

I remain convinced we have a probable representative in the main Scions though... and no I'm not calling him mentally ill.
