A little issue with Nordom (possible spoiler)

Post by Aubrey »

Nordom starts as "neither" in the sex specification slot, right? Right.

But, although he acts as a man --he and Grace exchange mutual compliments-- now that we are back from Carceri I have noticed that he is a... She-Modron!

The question: has it always been that way, or there happens something in the game which determines Nordom's sex? And if so, what is that?

You're saying it now says "Female" in his sex thing?

That's exactly what I'm saying. Meanwhile the rest of the company continue calling her... "he"!?!

You mean that the sex specification remains "neither" all the way to the end, with no alteration at all?

I seriously doubt that this was supposed to happen.

Any thoughts on how, or why, did this happen, then?

BTW, I hadn't noticed any change on Nordom's sex the first time I had played the game. This is the second.

Just to be clear, the images of Nordom remain the same, just the sex specification box has changed, right?

Right. Instead of "neither" or "male" it states "female". Nothing else has changed save for his sex. I don't know when exactly this change happened, but I know that Nordom was She in Ravel's Maze as well --the oldest of my saved games.

And the sex for all other characters is normal?

Yeap. Nothing wrong with other members, or with the game overall. Just that this time Nordom's sex was... female!
(I use past tense because I finished it.)
