Maintenance for the week of December 22:
• NA megaservers for maintenance – December 22, 4:00AM EST (9:00 UTC) - 8:00AM EST (13:00 UTC)
• EU megaservers for maintenance – December 22, 4:00AM EST (9:00 UTC) - 8:00AM EST (13:00 UTC)

We would all like a greater freedom of personalization for our characters. True?

    I can't seem to find my response anywhere, @ZOS might have ninja removed it. Anyways, I find it bad enough that male characters can run around in wedding dresses. It completely takes me out of the game. If anything, we need more gender-based restrictions. ESO isn't a transgender simulator. I'm sure there are plenty of other games that can validate your feelings. TES has lore establishing cultures and societal tendencies. This is the 2nd Era, and, by observing later cultures from previous games, we know your ideas simply don't fit. Sure, it could happen in the 18th Era, but this is the 2nd Era. Slavery exists and will exist for a long time in TES. Do you really think that transgenders fit into the current time period? The world is supposed to be primitive and savage. The people of Tamriel are too worried about survival to invent new ways of garnering attention.

    A game with characteristic of roleplay, and have more features of customization would make the game a place to share laughter with friends, your opinion counts as that of everyone, but please respect the ponion of others.

    I have always thought that in the civilizations of the past we were more liberal with where to put our noble parts. And not like now that we have greater prejudices and phobias.

    I'm not stating where anyone should put anything. It is clear from dialogue that homosexual NPC's exist (female NPC's mentioning their wife, etc.), which is perfectly fine. I'm just saying that cosmetically, one doesn't wear the apparel of the opposite gender in TES. Males appear male and females appear female regardless of their sexual orientation.

    There is plenty of evidence: every NPC apart from Vivec.

    Perhaps Mephala too, who is referred sometimes as a he or a she (not "they", "xir", "zi" or whatever) but is a daedric prince, so is apart from mortal's limitations.
    Vivec, despite of having both sexual organs, his physique and voice are clearly manly. I've never read or hear about him being referred as a "she" or "they" (he seems to be too busy protecting Morrowind from Baar Dau to care about pronouns).

    For health reasons I would advise against playing that game. There are a couple of people in this thread who are trying to insert their personal prejudices into the game, and are trying to mask those prejudices through a made up lore argument that doesn't exist.

    They need to be reminded, repeatedly, that there is no evidence from TES lore to support the argument in this thread that there should be a strict/binary gender appearance limitation.

    A game with characteristic of roleplay, and have more features of customization would make the game a place to share laughter with friends, your opinion counts as that of everyone, but please respect the ponion of others.

    I have always thought that in the civilizations of the past we were more liberal with where to put our noble parts. And not like now that we have greater prejudices and phobias.

    I'm not stating where anyone should put anything. It is clear from dialogue that homosexual NPC's exist (female NPC's mentioning their wife, etc.), which is perfectly fine. I'm just saying that cosmetically, one doesn't wear the apparel of the opposite gender in TES. Males appear male and females appear female regardless of their sexual orientation.

    I thought those two guys standing there are supposed to be talking about the prostitute or whatever over there in that room since the guy in the black shirt says "you have to wait your turn," meaning that the guy in the red shirt is waiting for his turn and the player would be after him.

    Im fine with 2 genders to pick but more freedom to tweak them to be more in tune with the players choices of look. I dont care about androgynous gender option seems poitless just unlock more stuff to be shared between male and female in game give guys eyelashes and girls guy hair cuts. Also smooth out males and allow hairless bodies woman i guess allows hairy bodies etc. But the people wanting special trans status characters are getting a bit out of control on this topic do what your gonna do.

    the npc does not give any argument that refers to someone specific, but speaks to you addressing you, it is possible that he, the npc is a gigolo, an expert in the pleasure and in that case is doing his job with the elf with darker skin. (Gay alert [?])

    yeah, I guess the situation can be trying to convey that black shirt and red shirt are going to take the place of the other two on the bed

    New drinking game: Take a shot of your preferred alcoholic drink each time"strict/binary gender" is repeated. Play at your own risk.

    For health reasons I would advise against playing that game. There are a couple of people in this thread who are trying to insert their personal prejudices into the game, and are trying to mask those prejudices through a made up lore argument that doesn't exist.

    They need to be reminded, repeatedly, that there is no evidence from TES lore to support the argument in this thread that there should be a strict/binary gender appearance limitation.

    (Drink at your own risk)

    There is no evidence to support your claim that there shouldn't be a "strict/binary gender appearance limitation." My evidence is quite literally the games themselves, and your evidence is 'I want to be a special snowflake.'

    TES lore can still be expanded through ESO, the single player games, the spinoffs, and so on. It's not possible to include everything that would exist in ESO's time period at release or over some time. What we see in the games anyway is very little of what would be in the world if Nirn would exist

    You've proven your evidence invalid with your very response. "Indirect." Which is stronger, direct or indirect? Your example simply proves that rare genetic disorders exist in TES. Good job?
