Re: The romance graph!
Hm, I thought Lakadema wasn't a woman though?

Re: The romance graph!
It's been a while since I checked in on this games progress, but from what I remember, she's still a woman. She just happens to be an alien hermaphrodite, or something like that?

Ah, if she identifies as a woman then she's a woman. I thought she didn't have a human-related gender identity, and told the player to think of her however they chose.

I fully agree, and either way, I'm sure jack or one of the writers will come in and clear things up with an answer when they candaikiraikimi wrote:Ah, if she identifies as a woman then she's a woman.

Yes it's an alien hermaphrodite, so while apparently is much more similar to a woman, "she" has both male/female reproductive organs. When we resume writing that game writers will think how to call her, I remember thinking about using gender-neutral pronouns like "zir" instead of "him/her"

Re: The romance graph!
Haha, that would be great. I would seriously support gender neutral pronouns, though! Or having an actual discussion in game where Lakadema asks you how you want to call her, since she doesn't have a human gender identity. (As a side note, for future reference because I hope it's helpful? If you ever make a human character who has non-standard reproductive organs, they would be intersex because true hermaphroditism doesn't exist in humans. For an alien it makes sense though. Anywho, looking forward to Lakadema!)

Re: The romance graph!
Professor Farnsworth from Futurama already solved this. He invented "SheHe" or "HeShe"jack1974 wrote:Yes it's an alien hermaphrodite, so while apparently is much more similar to a woman, "she" has both male/female reproductive organs.

Re: The romance graph!
For contemporary usage, I think that singular 'they' and 'ze' are some of the most common. (Although I'm rather partial to the Spivak set, myself, which are also the ones Magical Diary used.)
