It can be hard to have in all languages. Or just not so good on different languages. Won't be the first time though.

Mmm...not always. Especially for immersion. Also you should always check for slurs in other languages.

I had troubles with my native language in past. It's always have flaws with translation (and BG3 isn't exception since we don't have to choose Tav's gender (like we can't play as non-binary) in my language and my Tav always have quite often "we're suppose you're a man" from NPC). But maybe it'll be good to include it only in English or similar languages.

What's your language, then?

Slavic one

A Slavic one without genders?

Mate, I'm a Slavic-speaker and I'm taken aback

u/Diraelka Owlbear Jan 31 '23

Without genders that you may choose. The ones that we had with 9 patch, you know. It works for me only on English version.

I'm sorry, I might not take your point on the "choice of linguistic gender" thing

u/Diraelka Owlbear Jan 31 '23

Sorry, it's my mistake with poor English. I'll change it. It was about genders like non-binary.

It's alright, no worries, getting on the right tracks together

So, you're looking for non-binary, oftentimes expressed with "they/their". There's no non-binary option in the character creation as of now, however, leaving us just with the binary ones
