Darkspawn + Anything = Gross

1)  I'm pretty sure that any mix that is a human hybrid will be human with characteristics of the secondary race. With existing lore, humanity basically... overrides anything it comes in contact with. Essentially, for a Human/Elf hybrid, they would be much more slender than a normal human, and have facial features that are halfway between elf and human. (That is established in lore) For a dwarf, I would expect to end up with a shorter, stockier human with a much wider face than normal. (This could be different, as some people are saying that sandal is one. I dunno.)

2)  Darkspawn don't reproduce in the same manner as the other races - they corrupt a female into a broodmother. Although it isn't clear if she has to be impregnated or if she is "born" pregnant like some real-world species.

     As of now, darkspawn don't mate, but that could be different for disciples.

3)  Have there been any Elf/Dwarf hybrids? At the moment, the lore doesn't say whether dwarven genes override like human genes or not. And anyway, Dwarfs and Elfs are relatively the same size, so there really shouldn't be any complications to pregnancy for a female elf - especially since they can have a human size baby with not problems.

Not Sandal. The writers have yet to supply information about how he came to be. At this point, anything that says otherwise is speculation. Unless you have a source, in which case I rescind my statement. But I have seen none so far.

I just watched Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker last night (I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5), there was one character - I can't remember, nor find his name on the interent, without going through the DvD - who seemed to be an elf (though since this movie somewhat resembles the DA2 art style, he probably isn't tall for an adult elf). He was really fat. Unless he just ate too much, which as we know, is an extremely unusual thing for an elf to do, he may have been a half-elf, half-dwarf hybrid.

Since I can't remember his name, I will describe his role/place in the story. He was the guy who lived in the middle of a cliff face, with his own house (which I think looks very similar to the ones in Origins). He had some sort of flash bomb, to tell the blood mages that Cassandra and Regalyan were there. This was right before all those possessed Ogres and (controlled?) Golems came to assault them.

Anyway, that's just one possible example of what the offspring of an elf and a dwarf, would look like.

God I hate Hybrids... where do people get the notion that different species can interbreed from? Virtually no examples of this exist in nature, and those that do are almost always infertile, if not seriously messed up.

To anyone writing Fantasy (and this applies a hundred THOUSAND fold if writing Sci-fi) I implore you; when a human mates with an ape, you do not get a Half-ape. When a human mates with a dolphin, you do not get a half-dolphin. Please, in the name of all that is holy, STOP with the half-elves and half-dwarves and half-whatevers unless you are going to go out of your way to state that Elves, Dwarves or whatever are so closely related to humans that they're not actually species, but 'races' in the way that 'black' or 'asian' are.

Human + Dwarf = Half Dwarf.

Drragon Age doesn't have halflings.

Half dwarf sounds stupid though. Shorter, stockier humans who aren't quite as short or stocky as a dwarf.

I never seen those in DA.
