Did I say the nobility would fight Dwarves trying to buy an estate? NO.
But a dwarf cannot be a mage, as we are led to believe. Current Dwarven society cannot be a mage, and the main premise of this game was that either you or your sister are an apostate in Kirkwall. That you are thrust into an ongoing war between two factions that deal with the issue of magic and YOU know something about that. Dwarves don't, and elves wouldn't be allowed in Hightown. Without living in Hightown, you are very rarely granted an audience with the Viscount, who played a crucial role in Act 2. You only meet him once in act 1, and that's because you rescue his son.
Dwarves have a low fertility rate. I read that in one of the codexes, and it's why they stick to dwarven marriages only. They don't like mixed marriages. So they wouldn't be able to sire any elven blooded or human blooded kids with magical talents.
And I said Hawke would tell the nobles to sod off for getting their nickers in a bunch for Merrill moving in. That is NOT the same as telling them to sod off when they're fighting to keep an elf from living in Hightown when he/she is petitioning to reclaim/buy an estate. Merrill is moving in. Hawke is buying the estate.
There is a big difference between the two. Don't make them the same. It won't work.
You stated that the nobility would fight an elf, its plausible that they would do the same for a dwarf. And some people have stated that Hawke used his ties to his nobility which we know was not a requirement for gaining an estate in hightown since Bartrand was able to secure one. Hawke regardless of race has connections in the city, and with wealth comes the ability to sway opinions, and those that spoke to loud. Well, there are many methods of taken care of those issues as well. And there is nothing written that states an elf cannot acquire property or wealth. Which would of have been a much better rag to riches story with all that conflict.
Hawke does not require to be a mage or have sibling that is a mage to go on the expedition in Act I, nor did he have to be human to route the Quanari, nor did he have to be a mage or have a family member be a mage to get involved with the mage vs templar conflict. The audience with the viscount would still have taken place regardless of race because of the Impression Hawke had made on the Quanari and his new status that was afforded to him from the wealth he aquired.
What does fertility rate have to do with this? I wasn't the one talking about half-breeds.
