Is the character we control of a specific race and gender? (within the lore, of course)
I mean, I understand that the good thing about the game is that you can customize your character (and I don't know if in future updates that will be related to buffs or debuffs in combat/relationships. If there are, sorry, I didn't notice them). But there are certain things that leave me with doubts, the main one being the NPC routes and the purpose of the Correctional Facility (especially regarding sexualities and pregnancies).
I've always liked games where your character is customizable, especially when there's lore behind the game, but I always come back to the same question: What belongs to the canon?
