Albininsm
isn't all that uncommon, 1 in 20,000 I think, but a black couple giving
birth to an albino child isn't exactly the same thing as giving birth
to a "white child", it also doesn't really work the other way around.
I'm pretty certain there is no genetic condition that causes far more
dark pigmentation in the skin than normal, if there is one it's
incredibly rare.

He wasn't talking about albinism.  Occasionally, black parents can have white children. 
We actually had a speaker at my school when I was in high school who
was one of the whitest guys I've ever seen, yet he had black parents.

That
said, my hope is that Bioware goes with the half-sister approach, and
that there's therefore no need to change Bethany's appearance.

Those articles all say the parents were bi-racial.

the article you linked...

It's an unusual case, but it's not unheard of. Skin and eye color are
determined by melanin, and the amount or type of melanin is controlled
by about a dozen different genes...

Bryan Sykes, an Oxford University professor of human genetics, wrote...

In mixed race humans, the lighter variant of skin tone may come out in a
child -- and this can sometimes be startlingly different to the skin of
the parents

For that to happen the parents themselves have to be bi-racial, they may not know they are but that's how it happens. So technincally no, black parent's can't have white children, bi-racial parants can have bi-racial children, and bi-racial people have more diverse genetic markers.

The half-sister thing would be fine, assuming it's actually mentioned in game and the possibility is not just used to handwave the difference between siblings. Or they could just have both Hawke and Bethany come from a diverse background, maybe they come from a long line of merchants and they have family from just about everywhere. I still think it would be nice to be able to customize her appearnce a bit though.

I think I'd only be interested in changing her appearance if I didn't like it. From what I've seen so far, she looks great, I don't think there's some kind of need to have her look similar to my main character. Sometimes people who are related don't look alike at all, sometimes people who aren't related look a lot alike, there's no hard and fast rule on something like that. I don't care how much she does or doesn't look like my character, quite frankly too much similarity might be annoying. Just make sure she looks as good as possible, that's all that matters. Besides, if she looks great and I want her and my main character to look similar, I'd rather just make my main character look more like her anyway.

I think having her hair and skin colour change accoring to the player would be appropriate.

Not having her entire appearance determined by the player.

Tbh thats what I meant an entire custom appearence would be overkill i suspect

An entire custom appearance might be overkill, but at the very least it shouldn't be too hard to make a script too match the skin tone, hair & eye color.

As you can see my character looked nothing like the couslands but it did not bother me to much until I decided to make my character with white hair and thought it looked funny that nobody in my family had white hair.

Well, I was thinking about how it could really break the immersion in DA:O if you made a player character that looked so little like their supposed family you'd have to wonder how people could even believe they were related. With a new character you could easily end up with something like this, where IRL everyone would question that relation. "That goatee isn't fooling anyone..."

Actually the PC in that picture looks a lot like Papa Cousland if you disregard the skin tone. I think he just looks like a bastard.

But anyway I wouldn't be opposed to how they did it in Fallout 3 but really it doesn't matter much to me. I just justify it in my head with "I'm adopted/a half-sibling/look like my grandparent" or whatever.

[Sharn01]

Recessive gene?

[Games4ever]

I would also like to change some parts on her.

Argh, my warden was Asian, and to be standing around the Cousland family made him look.... weird.... to be the second son...

Right they could at least have some asian looking servant running around the castle to make your looks a bit more likely.

but anyway they should do it like fallout three

Your guy looks like adult screach from saved by the bell actually

As for the topic, i'd like abit of fo3 treatment with family as well, awkward to say the least when you have a non white cousland >__>;

[Homebound]

What if Hawke is adopted? Or his sister is adopted? Or she is his half-sister? Or even Step-sister?
