There are no black people in Thedas,as you mean it. Just people with darker skin color. Remember that Thedas is based on Europe - not America, not Africa, not Asia. That's why you don't see any asiats or indians either.

EDIT: My mistake. Actually Antiva is bassed of Italy, and Rivain is based on Spain.

It doesn't entirely matter what the historical basis or real-world analogue is. That doesn't limit the fictional possibilities.

Really, where the H*LL did that come from?

It came from people being way oversensitive.

You're right about that.

I could start ranting about that, but I'll control myself.

If it were just you mentioning your opinion on dreads, I wouldn't have bothered to reply.  You stated that dreads are nasty and dirty, as if it were a fact. You obviously know nothing about dreadlocks as a hairstyle, so again, don't go claiming "facts" about things you don't understand.  I said that you are ignorant and prejudiced, and I stand by that. I didn't say anything about you hating Black people, but if that's what you took from it, I can't help it.  You said something horrendously rude and inflammatory on the Internet.

But you can explain how he's wrong without accusing him of being racist.

[Icesong]

If you read with care he was actually talking about other people he's met that were racist.

On top of that, the picture you linked is terribly inaccurate. It says its showing Antivan apostate but that's completely wrong. Because Antiva is based of medieval Spain, and not Africa. People from Spain, despite having darker skin color, wouldn't probably wear dreadlocks, like you suggest (more elaborated styles probably).

And in case that Bioware finally decides to make an improvement to hairs, they should first and foremost improve their models (skeleton/meshes of hairs), and primary provide the *classic* long hairstyles, without any 'improvement', which would be appropriate to the settings of the Dragon Age franchise.

Answer to this problem, bring black people in the same way the whit epeople brought them into white communities in real life? Might be controversial, but there can always be former slaves killing their masters and joining rebellions (Fenris should be black).

Slavery is only prominent in Tevinter and it's focused on elves at that. Waving your hand is how you handle this.

I would love to see an afro like this, instead of the rounded 60s and 70s styled fros that appear in various character creators...

I don't know what you mean. By adding black people? I reject the premise that black people aren't already in Thedas.

Someone seems to have failed their reading comprehensions... Learn to read.

[Icesong]

There's no need for you to be hostile for I'm not. But speaking of reading "comprehensions", by asking what you mean I'm, well, asking what you mean. I made a guess and apparently I was wrong.

[AndrahilAdrian]

 
Something like this, but less vertical, is pretty much what I had in mind. The original fanart just gave me the idea.

[Wrathion]

Oh god, why did I come back here...

How are there white people and Thedas but no black people.
Are they white people with dark skin? Then...they wouldn't be white... Ya'll are some special people.

Anywho, OP. Hair would have to be PRETTY long for it to start falling around the sides. Actually depending on the hair it probably wouldn't fall at all. Kinky hair is sometimes very dry unlike straight hair with it's...vast amount of oils to weight it down. There are exceptions but, I'm sure that would be harder to do than what you want.

I was just looking at this hair site, it tells you the different types of curly hair. It's really only useful for people who have it and just need to know how to take care of it. Just maybe if you look you'll be able to give us a clearer picture of what you want. Here you go.
