I know there was some hoopla over other names (in the English version) given to certain achievements and those were changed. There have also been a lot of female players mentioning lack of strong female avatar varieties and questlines. Yet I was pretty surprised today when I won an award called 'He chose wisely'.
I am not a male and there needs not be any gender whatsoever in the achievement names. I understand they were trying to go for an Indiana Jones theme but even then Indiana Jones is not winning the award, the player is so there is no need to not be inclusive of female players. Also the actual quote is 'He chose poorly, you chose wisely'. So the non gender 'You' was replaced with 'He' for no reason.
No it's certainly not the biggest deal but still feels for a game that hasn't done much to win favor with it's female players, it's yet another hint that female players are just an afterthought for virtually no reason. In this case actually, we didn't even get the afterthought, a gender neutral term was actually replaced with a male exclusive one.
I just don't see any need for it. I also can't understand how no one making the game realized calling all players 'He' might not be the best idea, it's not the sort of thing you'd expect to need to point out to a successful company in 2017.
