I can't speak for NB people since I'm actually pretty binary, but one issue I have is mainly that they are adults and they already have a backstory. If they were actually NB in this world of body mods there is a good chance that they would have already transitioned by that age.

...it's to take into account shifts that need to happen in-game with pronouns, dialog, voice-work, narrative, and generally how the world generally responds to that character. My question is: would just a generic third pronoun option on top of the cosmetic options be enough?
I see you're a game dev too so you likely know the reality of how difficult building a system to actually accommodate that would be from even from just a narrative standpoint alone. Having choices is always good, but tough to get right.
So as a character artist I can say building a customization system to account for that wouldn't actually be too difficult, it would just take a lot of dedicated work. When a custom character system has you choose either male or female...All this keeping in mind that a game dev's job is to make a game appeal to as broad/diverse an audience as possible within a budget. Making games be as accessible as possible is awesome, but has diminishing returns when aimed at say the trans community's ~0.4% of the population.

is it possible to allow a custom option...? as in, when a player types in their pronouns in certain form order (like this: they, them, their), is there a way to program that input into the game? i have extremely little knowledge of coding, so if that is possible, it would (1/?)

be best. if it wouldn't be possible, then yes, having a generic gender neutral pronoun option like they/them/their is suitable! (2/2)
