Developers of Hogwarts Legacy reportedly incorporated the changes after J.K. Rowling's transphobic remarks.

Hogwarts Legacy "will allow players to customize their character’s voice, body type and gender placement for the school dormitories," reports Bloomberg.

When players start up the game, they will be able to create a character that has a masculine or feminine voice no matter what their body looks like, according to people familiar with the game’s development. The people requested anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak to the press.

Players will then get to select one of two options -- “witch” or “wizard” -- that will determine the dorm they get placed in at the magical school of Hogwarts and how they are addressed by other characters in the game.


Isn't that common? I feel like you've been able to do things like this in games for a really long time. I think they're reading more into this than is actually there.

Who cares, really

You can choose your species for most games.

Stop getting bent out of shape over goofy stuff.

Yeah I know right?!

TBH, gender natural characters are the only option in character creators.

The only way you know it is a female is from the body shape and proportions.

It is more of a big deal to ppl who just want to make it a big deal.

I don't think this is a big deal to anyone other than the linked article on that gay website reading more into it than is actually there.

Im completely normally against the BS that this country is pushing.

That being said i dont have an issue here. The issue would be if the ONLY option was to make male body with a female voices and such. Such taking away choices.

Here it wont affect you if you choose not to make a character like that. So

I got banned for good on twitter for replying to Kotaku’s tweet saying that trans people are mentally ill.

Oh well.

It's dumb, this stuff never mattered in video games as they weren't that gender specific if you could create your own character.



To that point, this will be REALLY dumb when you'll be able to choose your own pronoun set to be used in dialog. Barf.

Or even worse, if they allow you to change pronoun sets of non-created characters. If you want your Master CHief to be LGbtQ, they'll allow it.
