>make white human male the default in every CC screen of every game>never question why this is considered the default>people impatient to play click through menus and don't customize their character thinking "I'll do it later" or "I'll do it next time">the analytics system picks up on thisNot in this game. When you select customize character, the default is randomized. When you look at a different species, that is also randomized. The game just has a lot of basic white cishet male gamers playing it I think.
Or those players are the most likely to make a character that matches them. Historically RPGs have the highest percentage of women playing outside of life sims. Also, queer people esp trans people tend toward RPGs over other genres. Cis het white man still might be the biggest demographic though, even if it isn't the majority like it is for games like Total War or Civ
