During that demo, the studio only briefly lingered on the character creator screen, noting it was unfinished. But as I tried to take in as much as possible, one thing stood out: the gender options were limited to men and women.
Given how much CD Projekt RED is playing up the amount of choice players will have in Cyberpunk 2077, it'd seem a little out of place for their game to overlook gender fluidity. Waypoint had a chance to speak with Cyberpunk 2077 quest designer Patrick Mills for a few minutes at E3 about a variety of subjects, including the character creator's limited options.
"It's too early to say," he said, "but it's definitely something that we've looked at."
Not a yes, but also not a no?
Though Mills wasn't able to elaborate on where CD Projekt RED will land on the issue, any movement they make in the direction of embracing non-binary gender pronouns is likely to cause a ripple of controversy, however unwarranted.
More in the link.That's precisely the reason it'd be socially important for Cyberpunk 2077 to give players more options. The more often games embrace pronoun variety, the less it seems like an outrageous political stance, emboldening gaming culture's worst actors. It becomes normal.
