Aww, that sucks, I loved being taller than Zevran while romancing him.

Its never were stated in DA lore that elves are shorter than humans-lither-yes, thin-boned-yes. Shorter-no. It was a design decision of DAO to make them smaller and they changed it in DA2-no grate retcon was made.

Who cares about whether it's a retcon? No one plays an elf in Dragon Age 2. You can only play a human.

David in the Fenris thread.

Well it wasn't really confirmed, Gaider said that was what he thought and he could be wrong.

Hence the question mark.

That was to the question of, "Where was this confirmed?"

Perhaps they want femhawke to look up at male romances? Dwarfs being the exception.

Fanrage. The word for it is fanrage, and I feel it. I feel it down into my bones.

I too am disappointed in this. Not much to say though...

I can't imagine they'd model one race around a FemHawke romance. They could simply make Fenris taller.

While they're at it, make Aveline taller too.

And this is a core of why this decision were made I think.

Some love when their boyfriend is shorter, but majority do not. Its a sexual dimorphism thing.

Would making Fenris taller not be something you want considering the title of the thread? I wouldn't mind seeing some tall women from the same race in the game.

Do not want. Why can't short guys be considered attractive? Or short women?



WHAT IS WITH THE SHORTISM AROUND HERE!

Heightism just plain pisses me off. A man doesn't need to be taller than a woman, nor does a woman need to be shorter than a man to be considered attractive. Especially not in a FANTASY SETTING. It's ridiculous.

I dont think theres anything against short women ( I think. Cant think of any other reason why a 6'2 guy would like my 5'1ness)

but, if a guy was shorter than me, that would be so bad seeing as im already so dang short!

But this is fantasy! This a setting where there are different humanoid races. It makes sense that the normal idea of "tall man, short woman" wouldn't matter nearly as much as in the real-world.

In real-world, I like taller guys.

In fantasy-world, I don't care about the height so long as the personality is good and there is mutual attraction. I even strongly support inter-species/inter-racial relations.

Fenris is one elf. Not all elves.

I accept that people who are into Fenris are so petty they can't stand to romance anyone shorter than them. However, I'm so petty, I don't want to be shorter than elves.

I'm sure that Male Hawke will still be taller than elves and if they ever show female qunari, they'll be slightly shorter or the same height as male humans.

The man is always taller because if he's shorter the world implodes... oh shi- they better cut dwarves out of the DA universe completely! Don't want the world to collapse in on itself :)
