In fact, why has no one else asked why he's a cat? No one else is playing an animal and it takes the player's appearance into account with character creation with some changeable variables, or am I just blanking on it those asking?
Yeah, I just checked the beginning and it said it takes vital data and players can only make slight modifications to their hair and skin color, not just play as a cat. Gotta wonder if she's going to think he's a hacker or something instead.
