. A good example was the television series 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' (the show not the dreadful film). There was presented a rich fantasy universe wholly seperate from the euro centric norm. Dragon age could use this shows example as a template to incorporate other culture bases into the Dragon Age narrative.

   The fact that the showed is called Avatar and uses the 4-5 elements theme(also found in Greece). It owes it's main influences to India, ie: Indo-European Culture and beliefs. So while it may not be the norm I could easily argue. That even if it takes more influence from Buddhism, than Vedic religion, or Hinduism. It is more Eurocentric than many modern peoples beliefs or customs.

Have you watched the program? Plainly, the cultural influences are Inuit, Indian, Chinese, and Pacific Islander. Religion is not even discussed. Eastern philosiphy abounds though. Attempting to shoehorn that programs influences under the heading of Greece or British occupied India is precisly why I have such an ardent desire to see real and undiluted cultural diversity in videogames and media in general.

What? Turkish people do have olive skin.

Like I said, the more you know...

I would ask that you speak plainly, I still don't see your point here.

Fair enough.

I have been to half the total number of cities in Turkey. I have lived for extended periods in seven of them.

Man, I am Turkish. If Turks had olive skin, I would know, would I not? Yet the number of olive-skinned people I have met in Turkey does not even amount to the number of digits of a hand.

I hope I have been sufficiently clear.

Well okay, my knowledge of Turkey would certainly be limited compared to yours, all I have to draw on is that this guy calls himself swarthy and olive-skinned, and that I did a Google search and found people claiming to speak for Turkish people in general also describing Turks as olive-skinned.

Turkey is neighbors with Syria, Iran and Iraq in the south, and incidentally a number of people living along the southern border sport features with an Arabic influence. That guy hails from Kilis, a city along the Syrian border.

This thread is now about a Turkish person arguing with strangers about what Turkish people look like.



I approve.

Which indicates it is a good time to close this.
