in General Modding
So , i was looking in the game files , and the gender one has some option like, niether or both.

Someone knows if this is really used by the game ¿? , maybe for romance cheating¿?

    I see for example neera script looks for male, but dont know if selecting both, will send a true for male and female , or it will react only if the player has its variable at both

    Most romances are actually keyed on the sex field, not gender. (edit: Specifically, the MALE/FEMALE you mention in script checks is looking at sex, not gender.)

    I've really only seen both (5) used for celestials. Genders are actually used by the game for some non-obvious uses--gender is how the game controls the number of summons, for example, and how dispel eliminates illusionary creatures.

    @CamDawg That is both interesting and bizarre.

    Still, I'm tempted to play with the Both and Either genders, just to see if anything interesting happens.

    I'm 99% certain nothing interesting will happen though, and that any sex-change effect will end up crashing the game or do nothing at all.

    i think you are wrong , you can just look at shadowkeeper , going to gender , and you can select, male , female , neither , both .... still dont know if it works

    About removing romance limitations, it seams that with deleting the check lines from the script should work . I will test for bugs but shouldent be any

    @LaughingMan
    I want to test it too xDD

    @Arctic I imaging that modding the romance to be open to all would be easy enough. I just don't know how often the protagonist's male gender is referred to in the course of it. That was the issue in BG2, you could make the romances available to the same gender, but the dialog and voice acting made the experience terribly disjointed as they constantly mentioned the main character's intended gender.

    Well, I'm half wrong, which is what I get for going from memory. Gender does indeed check gender, not sex. That being said, gender BOTH will not return true unless the gender trigger is specifically looking for BOTH--it will return false for MALE or FEMALE checks.

    If you want to make Neera romance females, change your female's gender to male or eliminate the gender triggers from her dialogues and script.

    It'd probably be easiest to pull the triggers from her dialog.
