Just a little clarification while I am trying to understand modding in Kotor:
Is it just the gender identifier in portraits.2da that makes the game determine the gender of the PC?
Or is there something else somewhere that defines this?
My initial guess would be the model id.

It actually touches on identifying genders (ok in a specific way) that does globally change the game.
