I know that that why I said they need to write based on good character first , not ethicity...Look at the movie"The help" and you have a great example of get characters who are ethnic but not force into a stariotype.Random Jerkface wrote...
Only if the writer is an idiot and/or is literally incapable of creating characters without resorting to racial stereotypes.The problem with forcing diversity is that the character may becaome a stereotype with ease.
I mean, honestly. So you sit down to write a character. He has a big family, tends to sometimes be aggressively competitive, and acts rashly on occasion.You also decide to make him black.
So because he's black, should you make him have five baby mommas with three children each, a drug dealer who's constantly fighting for more turf, and a person who tends to pull a gat and shoot people without thinking? I don't think so. No one is that incompetent.
If you can write a good character, you can write a good character--regardless of what he or she looks like.

Let's take it a step further. To REALLY get rid of all diversity, we should fuse all organics and synthetics, to make every organism a hybrid of both. A synthesis, if you will.

Wait, what?
Diversity (a good thing) for the sake of diversity (again, a good thing) is "kind of stupid"? Something tells me you're male, and white.

Why would a non-white character not appeal to whites?
Again, literally one of the stupidest things I have ever read.Something tells me your black and American.
Oh, i forgot, in our society you can only be racist and stereotypical of white males. We sure are the priveledged bunch, aren't we?
Diversity for the sake of diversity is garbage. When game makers start trying to make games to represent every niche out there, the game seizes to show any form of versimilitude.
If we followed this path, TW2 would have a 12 year old Asian girl with mild autism and a repressed want to be a male as the protagonist. It represents many a person, but does it make any form of sense in the setting? **** no.

Get rid of "default" characters altogether, I say. Pick from a selection of defaults, rather than a single one. Problem solved. For marketing, make this feature a SELLING POINT. I have never seen any BioWare advertising that demonstrated the character customization, and it was a huge draw for me. When you need to show cutscenes featuring the player character, make multiple versions and put them all in rotation.
Would this be a good idea? Maybe, maybe not.
The N7 box that the (last two) Collector's Editions came in are a sight more attractive than the standard covers. ME2's was just hideous beyond words, and ME3's was boring and overplayed.sw04ca wrote...

Don't know if someone already posted this, but we as a community had a chance to make default femshep non white, and the red haired white one got chosen, so... majority of femsheps are red head white girls?

You didn't make a point. What you said was, "If we have non-white protagonists, then everyone would have to be autistic, trans, 12-year-old East Asian girls."Gibb_Shepard wrote...
