Change "It" to "Him" in Mortem display.

(1/3) > >>

ChaoticJosh:
So I noticed when you kill the cyberdemon by sacrificing youself, aka suicidal Thermie explosion, the game recounts this every mortem by saying "1 sacrificed itself for the greater good" or somesuch. This seems grammatically awkward since the line is supposed to be an extension of "Is he immortal? X souls claimed to have killed him".

Now, I know it's supposed to be referring to the player, and the game can't know the gender of who's playing, but this just seems like a heavy-handed way of dealing with that. I'd appreciate it if the mortem display just went by the gender of the player character, which I'm presuming is male, and just change "It" to "Him".

What do you guys think?

thelaptop:
Not sure about the gender of the player character -- I think it was never really explicit, though implicitly we call the PC "doomguy".  I wouldn't mind using the masculine form of "him", but for the same amount of space, "him/her" still works and is probably a little less awkward.

Have you heard the scream when you die? I would be pretty scared if a woman made that noise.

Angel of Estrogen =D

I hate to do this, but he has to be a guy, becuase he looks like one in Doom.
