![]() It is difficult to represent diversity in a way that works for everybody and, as such, you may disagree with the opinions of those who suggested the below games as positive examples. For example, the Dragon Age series featured in the top five most common responses across all ten of these questions. It is important to note that many of the same games were discussed in both the ‘favorite’ and ‘least favorite’ sections of the survey, often for the same type of representation and sometimes even by the same respondent. The survey received over 150 responses, the data from which has been used to inform a five-part series for FemHype, as well as the ongoing development of the Queerly Represent Me database. Mass Effect Franchise (The Asari are a monogender species who present as female).In May 2016, I conducted a survey across social media that encouraged respondents to discuss their favorite and least favorite representations of sexuality, gender, and relationships in games, as well as examples of pronoun use and character creation systems.Final Fantasy IX (The Qu are a genderless race/species).Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate (Ned Wyner).probably harmful and stereotypical as they are the villain.) Dragon Age Inquisition (Maevaris Tilani.For transgender, genderfluid and non-binary protagonists, please look here instead.īaldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonsphere (Mizhena) ![]() I realise this list is disappointingly short, again all corrections and additions are encouraged. ![]() Some of these examples may be fantastical. List actually transgender characters non-binary characters Princess Boy and Little Elephant (Browser).Unsorted WIP (I need more info or need to play these games myself): I guess watch this space until the game’s out. South Park: The Fractured But Whole allows you to play a transgender character in the CC, but as it’s yet unreleased, and given the nature of South Park, I have no idea what kind of warnings would be applied to it.Adventures of Dragon - Allows characters to transition.This is Not A Game About Catching Monsters (Free).Pirouette (Uses both “he” and “her” to refer to the protagonist.).Borderlands 2 (Zer0 uses he/him pronouns but appears to be agender).Barrowhill (Horror Franchise, protagonist is a nameless reporter never referred to with pronouns).Aurora Memoria - Philosophical Data Session: 2093.Angels with Scaly Wings (Dragon dating sim).Versus: The Lost Ones (You can choose between cis gender options, trans gender options, intersex, or non-binary).The Sims 4 (An update has removed gender restrictions for clothing, hair, walk cycles etc).The Seventh Circle (Choice of pronouns).Saints Row, excluding the first game (Sort of, the body and voice are separate options so you can choose any combination.).Pokemon Reborn (A ROM Hack featuring several protagonists).Love is Dead (custom pronouns for your character and their lover).Kingsway (no gender option, no gated appearances).Hustle Cat (choose pronouns and appearance, but cannot change the protagonists name).Choice of the Dragon (you play a dragon and you can answer “I’m a dragon” to the gender question.). ![]() Battletech (Let’s you pick your pronouns in the character creator).Games with non-binary friendly character creation: Nights into Dreams Franchise (while you choose a girl or boy player character to interact with, Nights themself is genderless).Crypt of the Necrodancer (Unlockable character Bolt).Of Scorpions and Hazelnuts (Free, appears to have been deleted by the creator).Metamorphoser (Adult content & violence).Dream Daddy has a the option to make a trans man main character (there’s also another trans man as a love interest).Also please note that information about this game keeps using female pronouns for the main character, despite them ID'ing as male.) Eien no Filena/Eternal Filena (This game was only released in Japanese but has been fanpatched into English.To Put it Simply (Free - About Leelah Alcorn, trigger warning for suicide).A Life in Silk (not sure about this one, seems fetishistic and can only be bought with bitcoins?).I could really use some help and suggestions with this list, because it is sparse. Many of the games that are stated to be free offer the chance to donate to the developers. I’ve eliminated characters whose basic concept is hurtful, such as Birdo and Poison. Note: I tried to find good examples, but so many turned out to be rather nasty and harmful stereotypes. ![]()
