    For those unfamiliar: the character creation in BG3 lets you separately pick your character's pronouns, body shape, and genitals. There's male/female/enby pronouns, four body shapes (2 masc, 2 femme), and like 8 sets of genitals (uncircumcised penises, circumcised penises, and various vulvae).

    It's no different from other games with character customization except it doesn't couple gender and physical presentation.

      I feel like that's way too specific for a non-porn game, but like, the other parts to this do clear up some confusion.

        I haven't gotten far enough into the game to see if genitals make an appearance again, and any clothes you wear seem to override the existence of genitals, so it may have been a marketing thing like Cyberpunk did.

            The player's genitals were never actually visible anywhere in the game proper, only in the character screen. Even screenshot mode forced underwear on unless you modded it.

        "Every character that can be romanced is potentially into your specific character" is a hard story contrivance to avoid for modern games, that's for sure.

        Sometimes some people just aren't compatible in the living world and I hope more freeze-gamer eventually understand that no amount of "pressing the right button" can/should change that.
