Huh. I wasn't aware of that - although it seems to be a wider trend in gaming as a whole these days. Forza Horizon has the options of a male and female body without labeling them as such, with pronouns and voice detached from the body type you choose. So does Cyberpunk 2077, although it kind of makes sense there, what with the whole transhumanism theme of the genre.

Honestly I can't really care if a video game wants to give you more customization options. But at the same time I also don't care if they have none.

I remember seeing someone go off on a message board because you could get this "name the character" but otherwise there were no customization options. And thus person was mad because they wanted to use their female name but the character was male and it caused disphoria. Lol. Just don't use your name.

Personally, for most games I honestly wish they'd spend less time making these pointless character creators and more time just fleshing out the game and making it good. The more marketing I see saying they're got woke customization options the more I think they don't actually have anything worth showing about the actual game.

I don't give a damn about the customization options I just pick the default skin and start the game. Some people spend hours crafting some narcissistic fantasy version of themselves. It's weird. Especially in first person games where you rarely if ever see your character.
