Fun fact: pretty much all exit-saves in Bethesda games (Skyrim, Fallout, etc.) are not necessarily complete in their Data. There are actual cases where these can be easily corrupted and won’t work on a reload or even introduce long time save corruption if you use them. Don’t ever trust an exit-save in those games! (Source: me fooling around with the save system too much)

If starfield works like every other Bethesda game, the game can’t actually change the gender directly, it instead remakes your entire character, which will reset whatever is causing the bug

Im guessing you mean 1899? I was so ready for a spiritual successor of dark, but Netflix said no :(
