One other customizable feature that could receive more attention in Fallout 5 is body type while Fallout 4 did have sliders for body type, it was not as elaborate as the facial options. Using a similar system for pronouns could work as well. In Fallout 4, Codsworth was able to recognize and read from a long list of potential player names. While there is some general compatibility work required in the background, a removal of the hard barrier between male/female routes and allowing players to choose their own pronouns would be the main factors in broadening the gender spectrum. When it comes to non-binary gender options in games, it's not as hard to implement as it may initially seem. Gender-locked features or outfits are typically an inconvenience at best, and exclusive at worst. It's an easy way to allow a broader spectrum of gender expression in-game.
The trailer for Splatoon 3 implies that the player character doesn't have a male/female gender setting, and the player characters in Animal Crossing: New Horizons have some gendered "styles" but aren't necessarily gendered in-game. More games are starting to embrace genderless character creation.
