The hell is with Bioware's obsession with people having male children? Why do people in Bioware games ONLY ever have sons? Why are there NEVER any daughters. Seriously, the hell? People have to have daughters once in a while, you know, or eventually there won't be any people left in the world.

Baldur's Gate: your kid with Viconia, a son.

This game: That girl from the miner caste that you meet in Orzammar, her kid is a boy.

If you're a dwarf noble male and you sleep with one of those servant girls: you have a son.

Someone bangs the witch girl at any point in the story: she pops out yet another goddamn kid with a trouser snake.

The hay is going on here? I hate this terrible lack of variety. It breaks my willing suspension of disbelief. I want someone to have a daughter for a change damnit. What the hell is up with this crap?

Oh and DO NOT get started on "oh women are weakling spaghetti arms with less testoterone they have no testes blah blah blah" That verbal diarrhea has nothing to do with anything.

This is some very flimsy trolling, TBE. You're really grasping at straws here.

I know that TBE is an unabashed troll, but I do kinda agree with her on this point. I'd prefer it if my child in these RPGs was actually a daughter.

How about transgender? There are no transgender child in games, that is discrimination toward transgender people.

More like grasping at insufferable rods.

I c wut i did thar :P

That being said, I don't find it that much of an issue, but I also don't see why there couldn't have been girl childs. It seems like a piece of variety and disbelief suspender that would be easy to ad, but no biggie.

True. Another interesting point is that, in all 6 of the origins (human noble, mage, city elf, Dalish elf, dwarf commoner and dwarf noble), you never have a positive ongoing relationship with your mother. She was either long dead, recently killed, distant and unknown, or bad.

I disagree on the human noble. I didn't get the feeling that the motherly relationship was distant/unknown or bad.

Nobody even said anything before you wrote that. This is your view of other people shining through.

About your topic: Who cares. The children your mention aren't really a big part of the story anyway, and it has as higher (or much higher) probability of being pure coincidence than some mysogynistic conspiracy.

Sigh, just realized I am responding to a 5 month old post :)

Those universes have a different biology make-up where males are more likely to be born.

Sir meant any one of those things. In the case of Cousland, she falls under the "recently killed" category. :(

But, unless you count Flemeth, Bioware has no love for mothers. See: DA2. XD
