Named Ned Wynert, this character is a trans man who acts as a supporting character and quest giver for the player. The exact nature of their connection to the story and what role they play in it remains unclear.

If someone already posted this, eat a dick

Of all the games to feature a transgender character, I would have expected Grand Theft Auto to be the first major one.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.

There was one in Dragon Age: Inquisition

Dunno if a trans character fits in the context of 19th century Britain though...

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

And a trans doesn't fit in DA:I either. Fuck man, they're is still slaves in that universe and discrimination against elves and whatnot, i\I doubt they'd be easy on a Trans.

Naw, it was pretty shoehorned in in DA:I too, the character wasn't much else other than trans, it was pretty silly

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.

In addition, developers have updated the text at the start of the game to read "Inspired by historical events and characters, this work of fiction was designed, developed, and produced by a multicultural team of various beliefs, sexual orientations and gender identities."
Progressive pandering for the sake of pandering? I see that the game's inclusiveness of atypical people already isn't off to a great or genuine start.

It's gonna fail miserably just like Bioware's shit. Making a gay/trans character for the sake of being gay/trans is always a disaster.

Fallout is a great example of doing it right because Veronia wasn't defined by being a lesbian, and it's only really a passing moment.

I don't think of progressivism as parading a character around like a gimmick with a special spotlight.

I remember when the games just said a multifaith team to avoid the butthurt from gODbotherers and mooslamics.

*sigh*

D'eon works because he actually existed in real life. He was a dude that just liked to wear ladies clothing.

I'm not sure how I feel about inserting a trans for the sake of trans character in what's supposed to a historical fiction set in 19th century London.

How the fuck does that work? Doesn't the game take place when Medicine was one step above Barbarism and the closest thing to surgery was chopping limbs off?

It was during the Industrial Revolution, not Roman times.

Gender reassignment surgery didn't exist in the industrial revolution regardless.
