i don't really play AAA games, but a couple i can think of are Cyberpunk (character gender + pronouns tied to voice), and Elden Ring (pronouns tied to body type). Oblivion Remastered obviously does it too. Cyberpunk is the especially irritating example for various reasons. Baldur's Gate 3 set a new standard which i'm hoping becomes more the norm. like i said i don't play many games like this but i personally haven't seen one with body types that isn't also essentialising in some way. would like to hear about them!
