Being able to make Rook trans
BioWare has always been held up as a studio that spearheads inclusive design, but The Veilguard takes this one step further by letting you explicitly determine that your protagonist Rook is trans. This isn’t just a cosmetic choice like giving them top surgery scars or picking a voice; it can be part of your character’s backstory that you talk about from time to time with other characters. Few games have been this thorough about letting you define your character’s identity, and The Veilguard approaches it with a great deal of care.
