So, in the tutorial area there's a beach with a troll ambush and then on the shore there's a boat with a lid. When you interact with it you pop in and it goes to a loading screen and then makes you leave the boat. When I first saw it I thought it was a covenant thing, but nothing happened that I noticed. I was just wondering if anybody knew anything about it and if not, just pass along the message that somebody left their boat there.

If you want to know what it does check the spoiler.

Changes your gender.

So is it really just a sex-change coffin like mentioned in the Peter Serafinowicz interview?

Okay, well I hoped in it twice when I saw it for good measure so I guess I'm okay. Weird.

Say, when you hop in that thing, what exactly does your genderflipped character look like? Is it a default look or are some face things changed around?

I'm curious about that as well. I would guess in the context of the Souls series' character creator (though I'm aware it's slightly different in DkS2), they just slide the 'hormone slider' to the opposite end?

Oh, er, better add some spoiler markers... just to be safe I suppose.
