I was waiting for cleric release since there was only rumors and today I finally updated the game to try the beta version. Aaaaaaand they’re nonbinary! As a nonbinary person I feel Seen and it’s a strangely comforting feeling like I can’t even describe it. It’s so personal and important for me to see a nonbinary adventurer. Also I like their gameplay so far more than any other hero! And their lore is so cool! Sorry I just really need to tell someone about this. Now the only thing I’m worried about is Russian translation because I have little faith in translators in relation to they/them pronouns but I hope that they get it right.
Evan please read this, I enjoy representation with the duelist and all, but saying that a game with only white men and girl is “clearly bad” is very off-putting, even if you didn’t mean it that way. This game has a lot of russian and asian players, which tends to avoid LGBT pronouns, and I’ve seen people start to correct them online to use they/them on cleric. This starts to cause drama on group chats. I am personally fine with cleric, but I think it’s best not to go too far like Sony’s Concord, as this issue tends to kill games.
