Something anyone looking into Divinity OS2 should be aware of is that it is a VERY challenging game, even if you're like me and played the first one to death. The new armor/magic armor system makes fights extremely long and drawn-out, giving ample chances for things to go wrong, and it's often stacked against you pretty heavily. Even on normal difficulty, if you don't exploit every possible opportunity to steal items/gold, murder NPCs for xp, find and complete every single quest before moving on, etc, you fall behind extremely easily. And even when you're caught up, some of the fights are just nightmarish.

But it's a hell of a good game, besides that, if you're into D&D or classic CRPGs, or even games like Final Fantasy Tactics.

As to the actual topic, I usually play females, but I also mostly only play games with robust character creation where I can make the same few characters I bring everywhere I'm able to. And when you get into heavily-moddable games a la Bethesda, the unfortunate reality is that there's a massive disparity in aesthetic mods for female and male characters (even if ~80% of the female armor/clothing mods can be written off immediately as... anachronystic, to put it lightly.). I remember when I was making all of the characters from one of my novels in Skyrim, and even with the 300-and-something mods I'm running, including pretty much all the best male aesthetic mods, finding appropriate outfits for them was a depressing experience.
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
