you know, a nice little thing that's quietly gotten better is how many video games a) present character genders as styles to pick from rather than an inalienable trait of you, the player and b) reassure you that you can change it later

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange annoying when this feature (and name changing) is gated behind grinding gameplay and/or is an in-game purchase tho. In Guild Wars 2, the "Identity Repair Kit" package containing both the "Total Makeover Kit" (which allows changing all character appearance traits including gender) plus the "Name Change Contract" costs 1000 gems, which can be purchased for USD $12.50 or around 400 gold in the in-game currency (obtaining that would require 20+ hours of in-game grinding assuming you go for peak gathering efficiency rather than fun gameplay…).
