The game starts by giving the protagonist a preset girlfriend?

The game starts by giving the protagonist a preset girlfriend? But I saw in the comments that players can choose the protagonist's gender—does the gender choice affect the story?

The author of this topic has marked a post as the answer to their question.

then whats the actual purpose of introducing it? imo, its better to leave out such themes and things, since that is like forcing the hand of someone to try to adopt a view that may not cosider agreeable or reasonable.

i would hate a game that tells me to pray through a microphone specific words before allowing me to play.

the game looks nice, but that pronoun thing to me feels like that. i think people should be free rather than forced to adopt beliefs. imo, mass effect 2 did it right: the protag could chose to chase any kind of relation, but none was forced or the framework.

So, if I choose to play as female protagonist, will my protagonist be forced in same sex relatioships? Or will she get boyfriend instead of girlfriend?

Uhh... it's obvious - people don't always call you by name when they refer to you - that's what pronouns are for. And whatever your pronoun, shouldn't have an effect on how people treat you. that should be NORMAL. Not everything is woke agenda ok?

And as far as Mass Effect 2, you're completely wrong, protag could only choose opposite gender except for a few limited alien races. I know this because I played female and couldn't choose the female character I wanted.

These people exist in every generation. They screeched about racial equality in a bygone era, and eventually rallied against interracial marriage. They rejected the idea homosexual people exist, and then rallied against gay marriage.

Now in the year 2025 their entire world view is threatened by the idea of gender non-conformity.

We're better when we ignore these people because indulging their whining gives them validation and fuels whatever weird persecution complex they have.
