I like to think she used some of the paint from the Dalish blood writing ritual.
What? Sister wasn't known for her good judgement, and you don't see anyone else painting their nails in the game.

I always wondered that too lol 


i always thought it was sort of dalish ink or something

Two votes - I think that settles it.

Do you hear, Mr. Gaider? We've decided Merrill blood paints her fingernails. Make it canon?

 Well, it might just be to womens' hands, look at anders, his are perfect. 





and if you see any interesting good/bad hand shots post them guys!!!

[Dutchess]

 Oooh, the hands. Yes, awful. All female hands were. I think they just used the same textures as for the undead. 
This mod is essential for me to play: http://dragonage.nex...s.com/mods/2440 
I think all that has been done there is removing some of the excessive wrinkles, and it looks much better. I honestly don't understand why they made the hands look so bad.

..... speaking of hands, though, how about the weird floppy-wrist thing Female Hawke does when she runs? I couldn't find a good video, but if someone else has one I'd be obliged.

I always felt like there was an internal pedometer of BA-ness lost every time I moved her around somewhere with her girly hands flailing like that.

Dalish are cool like that. On your vallaslin day, you get facial tattoos, permanent nail polish, then a spa and essential oils massage. Permanent lipstick and eyeliner are optional.

Brilliant!

Those Dalish are so hardcore. Curse whoever decided I could no longer play as one!

Jazz hands~! and yes Fem-Hawkes girly run is very....bizare, even by girly run standards it doesn't look right, i swear they had a dude mo-cap it >__>;

Hmm and going threw the pictures, guys do have better rendered hands, whhhhhhhhhhy???? so guys who should have gruff hands instead have perfectly manicured lotioned up hands while girls have pickled sausage fingers, do you not undertstand diffrent sex builds bioware? or sex apeal? or anything about the human form???

Zombie Hands is like Biowares new trademark. Anderson got a bad case of Zombie Hands in ME3 so it's not limited to Dragon Age.

It's a simple matter really - there is no lotion in Thedas. No proper moisturizers. No Palmolive. Kirkwall's waterways are polluted with foundry run-off and lyrium waste, so hand-washing can be particularly harsh on the skin.

Why does Anders have smooth hands? He's hoarding various balms and salves.

As for dry, chapped or cracked hands in the ME-verse, well...perhaps there is a shortage on antioxidants and grapeseed oil in the future.

Perhaps in DA3, to go along with the skeleton hands, there will be some kind of blood magic ability where the mage rips their face off and blows fire from their mouth, like in Mortal Kombat.

In many instances, the hands are also a completely different color than the face, usually on mages.  It almost looks as if the person had one too many fire spells backfire and burn their hands.

Anders hands are well done, one thing I wondered is what is
what the brown splotches on his right hand? In certain camera angles, I catch
my character having those weird brown splotches on her hand as well- weird.

I noticed the same thing in Mass Effect 3. I wonder what the problem is.

I'd prefer something like KoA where the hands are slightly larger than they should be to these. Larger hands = easier to make good looking?

I didn't let Shepard wear the alliance uniform because of old man hands.

Freckles? Lots of fair-skinned people have them on their hands and arms. Usually more than two, but they don't bug me. 

Bethany doesn't usually survive in my games long enough for me to notice her hands (I like to play mages), but now that I'm looking at them... Ye gods, those are some scary-looking paws.

big LOL! I'm imagining some intern grabbing someone like Zeb Hanlon from the hallway and being all "We forgot girl Hawke needs a run! Quick, run like a girl for us - deadline's in one hour!"

Though as my husband pointed out, at least she doesn't have the weird Commander Shepard head bob in ME and ME2.

I think Isabela's dark skin kind of covered a lot of the creepy up.

Am I allowed to say that?

I just won't make a female protag as pasty as I am anymore. "Problem solved!"

[craigdolphin]

I hate threads like this. Now I can't unsee the hands!

[Tommyspa]

I suppose Bethany effed up learning fire spells when Malcolm taught her. I assumed it was deliberate for her character background. Ugly as hell, but deliberate. Like Isabela's skin is grimy looking on her arms.

Did she learn how to grow her finger digits super long and weird too? Golden ratio, Bioware! Golden ratio.

Perhaps she's a witch of the wilds...
Doesn't explain why no one in Ferelden owns dental ware though.

Clearly they need Neutrogena Norwegian Formula.

I really can't understand the hand thing in these games. I think DA2 is much worse thank DAO though. I mean, how does this even get past QA? There were people testing these games. What happened when they got to those scenes where Bethany, Isabela, and Merrill have their hands right in front of the camera? It's perfectly understandable if the priority was for the face aesthetics and facial animations. But I'd think that the character model people might appreciate it if we liked their entire person, not just the portion we interact with most... >.>

This posts in this thread are hilarious btw.

 Oh, god, hands. XD

As much as I really, really love Anders' kiss/romance scenes, there's one pose that I almost never fraps.  Here it is, in all its finger-breaking, dubious glory.

 
Oh, dear god Anders.  Fingers don't bend that way. XD

Also, on a related tangent:

Loved the kiss scene.  Was a bit freaked out by the never-closing eyelids, though XD

 
And characters carrying around weapons for kiss scenes and in the bedroom...  It works for Isabela, I suppose.  But Malcolm's Honor is always photobombing with her distractingly detailed physique, even during tender, private, non-combat moments. XD  One of the first mods I installed was a "hide weapons out of combat mod."  XD
