So I create a Black Human Noble, and wouldn't you know it, both of my parents are as white as snow and have green eyes and red hair. Here I am, with by braided hair pulled back, dark skin, brown eyes, and both of my parents and my brother look like white royalty...

Come to think about it, everyone's white. What's up with that?

Is it really so hard to have the parents match the child, I mean simply have preset features that respond to other preset features, at least eye skin and hair color if nothing else.

Oh my god no, we're not having this thread again. Go to the non-spoiler forum to witness the horror.

Is it really that hard to understand that this game is set in a medieval european style society so there isn't going to be any black nobles? It makes no more sense than suddenly turning them chinese. Just imagine you're adopted or a bastard. I doubt they want to put in dialogue explaining why your entire noble family is black, it's easier to just assume your PC is special and different.



Anyway it's only like 2 hours of the game it's not exactly going to have any impact on you.

Just means that your momma was... dallying... out of her husbands sight.



Heh.

In Ferelden, a nation based around medieval Europe or England, there are few to no indigenous negroes, and in Orzammar all casteless have tattoos. Get over it.

I honestly hope that for the next game, Bioware simply prevents the creation of ill-fitting characters.

I've noticed a few non-whites in the game, though no major NPCs.

I have no idea. I recall exactly one RPG where this has been the case and don't know how much time and effort it took.

Why do the elves in pretty much all of these games seem so Aryan.? Not just how they look but like their attitude about other races making them weak?

Because they're a superior race to us and used to be immortal so they obviously think we're the reason for their weakness?

Ok to be more specific, they're always elite and seclusionist.  Plus they always happen to have blonde hair and blue eyes.  Like in Lord of the Rings, they wanted to just ditch everyone else to go to their happy Valhalla Elf heaven or whatever the hell that was.

I believe the explanation we had at the forums before game launch was that you could've been adopted. I haven't played the origin for myself, so I'm not sure if it's implied either way, but if not, then that's how I'll think of it.



As for the elves, there are a few slightly tanned ones, with light hair and eyes. Made me do a double-take. Neat, though.

[simpatikool]

So what?

[Vioitty]

Or you can pretend duncan is your daddy . Man, that would be awesome.

At the original post...what you're demanding is like if Bioware made a rpg about warring African Tribes, and you decided to make a fair skinned character. Shockingly, your african tribe parents are black.

[BlackLotus30]

Well they did make Jade Empire.......

I'd prefer to think that my mother's a **** and cheated on my father with a black guy.

I've finished Lothering on my Human Noble Archer rogue (without using exp exploit) which means I leave Lothering at level 7 (1 level short of stealth during combat). As soon as you leave, you WILL get ambushed and die from either a pack of wolves with traps, or an ambush with archers or some other random encounter, unless, you luck out and hope that the one encounter is the meteorite superman one.



Also worth noting that I think it's impossible to get out of the human noble starting area without any party interference as you'll most likely die. You just don't have enough tools/skills to get past this area without them.

yes except races cant hybridize.

City Elf ending if Soras lives has him marry a human and they have many children.

[Dark83]

The elves here remind me of disposessed Amerindians (Dalish) and the Jews stuck in German ghettos (City Elf). Hardly Aryan Nation, heh.



As I said before, though, it doesn't matter if the actor (what we create) is Patrick Stewart or Samuel L Jackson, the character (Cousland) remains the same. Hamlet remains a Dane. And emo.

Elves have genetic adaptability, elf/human pairings result in humans. Read your codex.

[ValentineHeart82]

I get the distinct impression that pure elves all died out and that the elves in the game are actually half elves, which is why they produce human offspring if they mate with humans. The pieces of the puzzle are scattered and this conclusion is only hinted at in the codex, never outright stated, but it seems a likely explaination for the quickening and the loss of magical affinity among the elves, as well as the increase in magical affinity among the Teventir Empire.

Family doesn't end with blood. Perhaps you were born in another part of Thedas, far to the north, where the people are darker in skintone, and you were on a ship that ended up lost in a storm. The wreckage drifted south to the shores of Highever, and Bryce and Eleanor decided to take you in and raise you as if you were their own child.
