They're also not changing at all, people just tend to read too much into things these days. It's in part due to increased LGBTQ+ portrayal in media, it's necessitated a shift in thinking and in many ways it's stripped a lot of subtlety out of it. Not that inclusivity is a bad thing, if I'm being completely honest I view exposing people to as diverse a collection of people in our entertainment as one of the easiest and best ways to educate and normalize people from all walks of life be they straight, gay, transgender, non-binary, asexual, and so on and so forth. The fact that we read more into our entertainment media is good, even if it means we're finding things that are not necessarily the intent of the piece.

Just to clarify, given the evidence that currently exists in the game I think it is a stretch to call any character in this game trans. However when I asked T51bwinterized, one of the game's writers, if we could expect to see an explicitly trans character in the future and he replied:
And that last line made me wonder who he could be referring to. So I was putting out a call for everyone to give their best speculations. When making my own speculations I actually had difficultly coming up with someone. I had to run through all the characters I could think of looking for a character that tried to look and act like the opposite sex. Eventually, I landed on Maud though I had almost forgotten she existed. Honestly, I don't even think she a great choice for a potential trans character as the evidence in favor is pretty weak and circumstantial. I just played up my certainty in hopes of sparking debate, hck most of my paragraph is spent trying to explain away the evidence agaist it. I had hoped that someone else would come along with a better pick.
So no I don't think that Maud is actually trans, heck I don't think she is necessarily even a tomboy. I think she is a woman who is in a tough and dangerous position that need to project strength to a world that values masculine traits over feminine traits. I would need some solid evidence in order to actually change my mind about that. But as of right now I do think that she is the best candidate for the character that T51bwinterized thinks "could arguably be described as a pre-transition trans person."

If we are thinking about characters in Rastedel specifically; as per winter's hint. I'd posit Amerine would be the most obvious. What gender state she is in regarding pre vs post op as a Ghoul is pretty confusing. We don't really know what body shape she identifies with or starts with outside of the fact that people use she/her pronouns for her.
We do know she can shapeshift to some degree and has a female form(confirmed with a thorough dicking) and male form??? (unconfirmed nude).
Again its a stretch- but it feels more plausible than Maud to me.
A cadaverous caveat: Banging her is essentially necrophilia in common law- many legal definitions of dead do not rely on

Nit picking time #2
I wnna talk about castles.
Dead season, no Helayna until 2022, so castle complain time!
Lets take a look at first fortification we tasked to capture and Rowan have a chance to inspect as an "siege expert" to make sure it battle ready. Raeve Keep.
The first thing our "expert" should have noted is absent of Moat. Why its important?
To understand that we need historical examples.
Why would people separated by time and living in different sides of the world come up with the same idea?
Well it works, digging a ditch is simple and cost effective, much less expensive then building a stone wall!
If you take your time and money to build a wall then you WILL build a preliminary line of defense around it.
People attempting to lay siege will have to ether drain moat or build makeshift bridge and under heavy fire it is not an trivial task, more importantly it takes time buying more time for defenders.
Second castle overgrown.
The idea is to clear site of all forestation around Castle. there should be no natural cover for obvious reasons.
You basically provide anyone opportunity to sneak on you if you have trees or vegetation around.
Defenders, archers need a clear view to spot and shoot intruders.
Third Arrowslit
We see huge "windows" on top. Well what the problem with them?
Many i say. There were no windows but there were loops in the castle walls.
You want to provide as much cover for archer as possible.
The interior walls behind an arrow loop are often cut away at an oblique angel so that the archer has a wide field of view and field of fire.
If you make huge windows like in Raeve keep not only archers inside castle have no real cover from returned fire.
They actually have to hang out from the window leaving themselves exposed if attackers reached the walls.
More over in this huge windows you can fit a catapult ball.
P.S. I hope this will be helpful avoiding basic mistakes and creating believable fortifications in the future.
After all we have 5 kingdom ahead of us with no doubt castles.

Makes sense. Common law does not account for things like
ect. ect.If
Amerine's bodily functions. Hmmmmmmm........ my cool lore-dar is activated.
We didn't really see anything unique in her sex scene regarding that.
But we did get to see her murder people with a massive Ghoul arm- so the bodily functions are doing some crazy things for sure.

The arm thing was a magical process, not a biological process. Ameraine's physiology doesn't allow shapeshifting naturally. The best description is that Ameraine's body functions biologically girded or "powered" by magic to keep it running.Makes sense. Common law does not account for things like sentient undead for obvious reasons like them not existing. Good to check the content with the Patreon overlords though
If sentient un-dead did they existed- presumably the law would allow us to bang em- since they could consent and whatnot. Also, Vampire bangin a favorite pastime in the narratives of YA novels for ladies.

Time for me to nitpick. Sentience is not some quality of self-awareness; sentience is merely the capability to sense or perceive one’s environment in some way or another. There are sentient plants.
The word practically everyone who uses “sentience” to mean is actually sapience. Easy to remember, actually, since it’s basically our species name. Well, assuming you aren’t a fantasy creature, anyway.
I mostly blame Star Trek and Transformers for confusing the public.

Everyone on the thread
Me: castles misrepresented and underrepresented!!!
Now People Will see that tight arrow slits are superior to wide window holes!!

I like this Homo Sapiens Sapiens, they understand!
Is the liurial stuff bugged right now? Can't seem to advance "fool around with Liurial" further than blowjob.

it's not bugged, but it is currently being reworked. Eventually you trigger a random castle scene in which she urges Rowan to engage in some BDSM play with her, which is an updated version of her dungeon scene (but it can take a while to spawn). After the scene you'll get another repeatable option with her. But you can expect more new and updated Liurial content soon in the coming monthly updates.
I'm getting a rollback error when it's time to leave the castle for the first time after being recruited. None of the choices I to make before that point seems to solve it. Is there a fix for that in the current version?
To clarify, it's when leaving the castle after this scene that I have the error. I can't find a way to progress beyond it.

I don't think you meant to quote me there. But...
Personally I haven't encountered the error you describe, but you could try posting the error message on the forum here and see if anyone can figure out the problem for you. It might also be worth trying to DM Rein or T51bwinterized, a couple of the game's developers that frequent these forums.
