Its about immersion. You cant just say "Its a fantasy world" and everything is ok. Where were all these characters and pronouns in the previous three games? Its so out of place in that series. It would be like in the next Elder Scrolls game a character pulls out an Iphone and calls in an airstrike. Is that ok? Its just fantasy, right?

People only care if the game is bad.  baldur's gate 3 uses Pronouns in a fantasy setting and was not used historically in forgotten realms but it had 0 effect on how much people loved that game.  Game play/writing is still king and if a game does those 2 things well you can add all the Pronouns you want into the game and the vast majority of people won't care regardless of settings.

watch this.


They believe in freedom of choice, and give players that.
They don't go out of their way to insert political messaging in said game.

Sven is a f***ing legend.
He says all the things gamers want to hear, and actually believes and does it.
I have faith this man, could lead any game development project in the world, and produce something good.
