To change an avatar’s pronoun,pay 500 Credits to an Enhance employee. They will then reopen thecharacter customization menuand let players pick a new pronoun. In the modification menu, tap X (Finish) and Y (Pronoun) to alter gender.
New players won’t need to pay Credits to change their pronouns. All they need to do is press Y (B on PC) when completing their profile—right afterpicking the starting Traits.
Starfield’s options for pronouns areHe/Him, She/Her, and They/Them. But at first, the game will pick one based on the players’ Body Type. Although, it’s worth noting that changing pronouns inStarfieldwon’t affect appearance.
Does Changing Pronouns Affect the Story?
As the dialogues inStarfieldare gender-neutral, altering pronouns will have no impact on the main story. Players canengage in romances with various charactersregardless of how they are addressed. Pronouns are mostly used in texts referring to the protagonist rather than being a part of conversations.
How Many Times Can Players Change Pronouns
There is no limit on how many times players can alter their pronouns. As long as they have 500 Credits for Enhance operations, they can shift between all three pronoun options freely.
