'''TLDR:''' There's conflicting information in-game about what Pronouns belong to The Emperor, and The Emperor never explicitly says "these are my pronouns" to the Player. There are plausible reasons for deniability on multiple fronts of this argument, but you may be able to help if you can find in-game evidence that we don't currently have. | '''TLDR:''' There's conflicting information in-game about what Pronouns belong to The Emperor, and The Emperor never explicitly says "these are my pronouns" to the Player.

* The Emperor's identity within the game also "changes" at different points in the story, and it is exactly that-- a ''story'' -- which can be interpreted differently by each individual player in ways that are impossible to sufficiently predict. We don't want the content of this Wiki to "take a stance" in such a way that it negatively impacts or narrows how a potential reader can enjoy and interpret the story of ''Baldur's Gate 3'' for themselves. | * The Emperor's identity within the game also "changes" at different points in the story, and it is exactly that-- a ''story'' -- which can be interpreted differently by each individual player in ways that are impossible to sufficiently predict.

We as Wiki Contributors also don't want The Emperor's page to become a debate platform for the real beliefs of the page authors, but because we're all here as volunteers, and we all want to get along so that we can keep volunteering together, we need to reach some kind of compromise or policy that will avoid "edit wars" and let us all feel mostly okay about the state we leave this page in. | We as Wiki Contributors also don't want The Emperor's page to become a debate platform for the real beliefs of the page authors, but because we're all here as volunteers, and we all want to get along so that we can keep volunteering together, we need to reach some kind of compromise or policy that will avoid "edit wars" and let us all feel mostly okay about the state we leave this page in. | ||

* The "smoking gun" to answer this question for sure would be The Emperor speaking to the player, saying what pronouns are appropriate to use. This may or may not even exist in the game. | * The "smoking gun" to answer this question for sure would be The Emperor speaking to the player, saying what pronouns are appropriate to use.

* Screenshots, scenario reproduction steps, etc. All would probably help. Please "link" screenshots instead of actually pasting them into file view format on this talk page, to keep it usable for others. | * Screenshots, scenario reproduction steps, etc. All would probably help.
