I didn’t understand this part, why is she different?
Damm, she was the only girl I could romance (IIRC Kess will only date someone who joined the Drama Club), and now I discovered she isn’t really a girl. There should have been a warning in the second game, now I feel tricked

Wait what? She was presenting as a girl, using female pronouns, etc, the entire time. That means, at least while you were dating, she was a girl.
How do you feel tricked?

Because she is not one and there was no warning in the game that implied she was genderfluid.

What game are we talking about
We are talking about Shelly in Way Walkers 2.
Are you sure about Kess? I looking over script right now, and I don’t see anything indicating this yet.
I’m not sure about Kess, but I remember she not accepting my character invitation and he wasn’t in the drama club.
There is alot stats that could work in that case(as with most choices in WW)
(((charm >= 30) or (creativity >=30)) or ((personality = "charm") or (personality = "creativity"))) or ((montage >=35) or ((club = "theater") and (red < 35)))
So, you need to be either creative, charming, or have Beleskie or Bree over 30, or be part of Theater club and have Red lower than 35.

I made my character a warrior, that is why he couldn’t romance her.

@urban, seriously? Tricked? Really? I just find that statement incredibly ignorant of you. Shelly, for the most part, most days, feels female, and uses the female pronouns cause that’s what she’s comfortable with. Her interpretation of being fluid is some days she feels more neutral and some she feels mostly female-- to the point where i literally said she doesn’t feel a need to bring it up. That’s it. If that makes you feel ‘tricked’ because shes ‘not a girl’ then that’s on you. The entire point of the dating in WWU is to allow the player to focus on the person they want to date, regardless of preference; which is why you are never asked what your sexual preference is in the game. Again, if that makes you feel tricked, i think you missed the point.
also would like to point out that Kess will absolutely date you if you aren’t in drama-- you just need your charm or montage to be high enough, and to make the right choices/answers in your conversation with her at the dance.

Montage is best answer to the case. It’s relatively easy to raise while continuing to build character in intended way(unless you also want to raise Red…)
My first MC got Montage up to 50 at the end of second game… and I didn’t really tried hard to raise it. It just happened naturally…
And 35 up to that dating scene should be easy obtainable.

Yes I do fell tricked, if the game points out she was genderfluid then I wouldn’t. But it doesn’t, it shows her as a cis woman, there is no hint or anything.
You can call me ignorante if you want, but it changes nothing, how would I know she was genderfluid? It is impossible and I don’t like find about it outside of the game.
I don’t mind Kess not wanting to date my character, at least she was upfront about it, everyone is entitled their own preferences without someone judging them.

Im not “judging” you, I just really think your understanding of what gender fluid is is incredibly ignorant if a small part of Shelly’s personal internal monologue eliminates her as a potential romantic partner for you. it’s exactly how @LanaRose stated it above, she presents as female, for most part, she feels female, and just because she’s gender fluid doesn’t mean that when she is feeling female she isn’t female. It’s honestly such a small part of who she is that’s why I didn’t feel the need to bring it up in the actual game-- as the concept of both gender and sexuality are both far more fluid in the Way Walkers World than our own. I honestly, truly think yr making too much of it. I mean, this is literally something that would never have been brought up or mattered to Shelly to bring up-- the only reason it was mentioned was because someone was asking about gender and it was sort of a “fun fact”. If you genuinely feel tricked or betrayed by that in a fictional game, then you might need to reevaluate what you think you know about gender fluidity and why you’re that opposed to it in a partner.

Ofc you are judging me, and who do you think you are to say what I should or not look for a partner?
Had the game told me about it I wouldn’t feel tricked, but it did not and no matter what you write about my “ignorance” will not change how I feel.
It might not matter for the fictional character or for you, but it matters for me.

I genuinely wasn’t judging you, but I also don’t think you are able to see my point. You posted your complaint in a forum meant for constructive criticism of my work, stating you felt “tricked” and implying I should somehow alter my work to suit your personal preference, and my response was I honestly think you are nit-picking over the issue on a level that’s not normal, and thusly not accommodate-able on my end. No judgement, just honest explanation as to why I won’t be putting in any “warnings” that Shelly is gender fluid.
Beef up your montage stat and go date Kess if this honestly bothers you that much.
