That’s because those plans and policies were drafted 10 years ago when coal was cheaper. These days the plans being made are based on solar, because solar is the cheapest.

Because drag uses first person neopronouns. Drag’s drag/dragself pronouns are person independent. They’re inflected and conjugated the same way in all grammatical persons. They represent drag’s identity as a dragon rider.

Drag is aware that it’s bad manners to answer a question with a question, but where did you and the other person get the “8 months” figure from?

Drag read some Reddit posts about why the Nameless One has to be a man. Some Redditor explained: It’s because the Nameless One has canon romances with several women, and it would make no sense for a FEEEMALE player character to romance women!

Drag thinks this is dumb.

They said you can pick your path. It’s not true. It shouldn’t be in the features section.

That’s still not enough information to determine that gender customisation isn’t in the game. Commander Shepard is a predefined character with a set story. The Courier and the Sole Survivor have defined stories. The choice to deny gender choice does not follow logically from anything you’ve said. Drag simply asks that the store page list the fact you are leaving unsaid: that gender is predefined. Gender is not personality, as Fallout and Mass Effect demonstrate.

Pokemon Red had gender selection in 1996. It was a standard feature in CRPGs at the time.

Where’s the character creation screen in Halo Combat Evolved? Where’s the creation screen in the Witcher 3? Can you assign stats to the Master Chief? Can you decide Geralt’s class?

Halo and The Witcher aren’t roleplaying games, other than Halo Reach. So it’s not the same.

CRPGs fundamentally ask the player to self insert into the player character, and drag will take psychic damage if drag self inserts into a man. Drag is perfectly happy to self insert into tragic stories like KOTOR and feel bad as part of a game’s story. That’s the same as watching a sad or scary movie, that’s fine. And drag would even be willing to enjoy Torment’s dysphoria if it were an intended part of the experience, and you’re actually able to play the Nameless One as a dysphoric trans person. But gender dysphoria that isn’t accounted for in the game’s design doesn’t lead to catharsis. That’s just feeling bad with no purpose to it.

Drag isn’t mad at the developer for this. As you say, the developer is dead, so there’s no point being angry. Drag is angry at Steam for selling this game without a content warning. Drag is angry about false advertising. This should be a part of the store’s interface, the same as age ratings, or the recent decision to force games to disclose kernel level anticheat.

Thank you for that quote, drag’s happy there’s still a chance.

Drag wants a refund because the game doesn’t allow gender customisation. Drag bought the game because it’s a Dungeons and Dragons game. D&D is supposed to have good character customisation. Drag doesn’t like CRPGs without gender select. Drag is trans and AMAB. Drag spent 18 years forced to live as a man, and isn’t interested in spending any more time like that. Drag is absolutely fine if a game has a male protagonist you can’t customise. The Master Chief is fine. Geralt is fine. But when drag is supposed to create a character and put part of dragself into the character, drag doesn’t want to do that with a man.

Drag thinks that given it’s a D&D game and a CRPG, there should have been a warning about limited gender options. Drag did read the game description that he/hims the Nameless One, but didn’t read much into it because it’s a 90s game, and old games are just like that. Morrowind does the same thing, and in fact NPCs will misgender you if you play a female character in the actual game. Drag assumed Torment would be like that, since the store page made a point of bragging about the customisability of the Nameless One. “Pick Your Path: Character creation is just the beginning. The Nameless One can change his class, alignment, and even gain new abilities based on your choices.” Drag thought this would mean there would be customisability.

Steam disagreed, and said there’s no legal defect in a game with this problem. Drag sees this as a symbolic issue, and would like the refund anyway. Again, please argue with drag’s reasons for wanting a refund in reply to this comment and not in the rest of the thread.

Why didn’t they just put more bedrock under the old stuff?

Why didn’t they just move all the old stuff up?

Why would they move the bottom of the world below 0 instead of just moving sea level upwards?

They changed the height of bedrock?

There are many kinds of dragons from many worlds.

Come out you black and trans
Come out and fight me like a man

Go is even easier to learn though. The only thing chess is better at is memes

Thank you!
