I don’t have a lot of time to play game these days. I usually play games like Cities Skylines where it’s easy to pause and exit. I basically have 1-4 hours to game a week - depending on the week. But ever since coming out trans, I’ve wondered if there was a game that casually was affirming. I realize I could play an RPG where you can design your character, but most of those games have you spend 2 hours designing and then you never really look at the character again. Baldur’s Gate was a lot of fun, but it’s a little too deep to play casually on the side. I strongly prefer a non-NSFW game. I realize a lot of NSFW games exist on Steam that do explore trans concepts (I assume), but I’m looking for a more positive, gentle, affirmation.
But I don’t want to knock down too many ideas! What do you play?
Edit: I realize I made it sound like I’ve excluded all RPGs which I don’t want to be the case since - inherently - anything affirming will have some RPG element to it. I just don’t think first-person RPGs really work since I spend most of my time looking at my hands and I don’t get to see my character.
I really enjoyed Dragon Age the Veilguard. The character customization is great, and it has the BEST long hair options in video games. And also it’s one of the first games I’ve noticed where your character can be canonically trans!
