Overspawn

If the game does not respond or react to these options in any particular way and thus enhance the gameplay, their inclusion is redundant and you might aswell just imagine these things. And I am quite sure this game will not be able to respond to every whim the players might have (nor should it). In most CRPGs i've played ethnicity/skin colour/national identity has never been acknowledged, only the fantasy race (i.e. elf, dwarf etc). Could you imagine a game not including different skin colour options for a character, and the developers saying "sorry we didn't have time to cater to EVERY possible character option...just imagine you're black." Of course not. Differing gender identities and sexual preferences shouldn't be excluded from a game just because they're not yours, or part of your understanding of the world.

Representation should be a big deal, especially in gaming which is predominatly white/male/heterosexual/cisgendered. I would imagine you could allow for transgender/LGBT roleplay by giving a few variations on the same dialogue based on not just a persons sex, but their gender and how they want people to respond to them, i.e. 1) Biologically male, male gendered, responded to as a male. 2) Biologically female, female gendered, responded to as a female. 3) Biologically male, androgynous gendered, responded to as either or ambiguously. 4) Biologically female, androgynous gendered, responded to as either or ambiguously. 5) Biologically female, male gendered, responded to as a male. 6) Biologically male, female gendered, responded to as a female. I'm not sure sexual preference needs to be an identifier, afterall it isn't in real life. When you walk into a room do you know who is gay/straight/bi and would you want everyone to treat you such a way without ever having actually spoken to you before?
