Sorry about the 
posting. It’s good news tho.

Does Starfield even require that you select pronouns? Most games I’ve played with a selection (Sims, Forza Horizon, Baldur’s Gate 3) just default them to the characters’ body type
It does and then completely ignores them. I select they/them and have been misgendered multiple times by NPCs.
So in that way it’s pretty true to life
realism in games is getting out of hand
They’ll have to have someone do unpaid labor to mod in functioning pronoun selection
And yet your robot buddy will call you Boobies if you entered that as your name.
It gives you the defaults for the body type and then allows you to change them if desired. I can’t imagine getting worked up over it, in like a billion hours of gameplay there’s 5 seconds easily missed where they acknowledge pronouns exist, the horror.
Yeah, like the rest of the game should be up their alley with all the copaganda and fash apologia there is.
Damn I didn’t know all that. I quit an hour in after realizing the hype about the space adventure was pure bullshit and they made an inferior travel system to No Man’s Sky
I haven’t played it myself.
It’s a pity because Bethesda is historically an anti-trans studio who fired someone for being trans, from what my trans comrades tell me.
Yeah, I heard they fired an ESO artist who was trying to take leave for gender affirming surgery or something like that.
It’s all rainbow capitalism until it inconveniences the bosses.
I don’t think they’re the same devs. ESO I recall is a different team under Bethesda publishing group, not game studios.
Yeah, ESO is from ZOS, IIRC that’s Zenimax Online Studios or the like. Absolute dogshit company in general which is a shame because ESO is all the cool, weird shit in Elder Scrolls that the mainline hasn’t touched since Morrowind outside of the brief aside in Oblivion with the Shivering Isles.
It defaults to the cis pronoun of your character. You have to actively change your pronoun, if you don’t go up and select your pronouns to change them it’s not part of the process.
