Listen, I'm pretty sure Half Elves aren't a thing. They really aren't that great a race anyway; they lack both the bonus feat from humans and they aren't bonus for those broken Luck feats.

Lol.

They are techincally a thing in DA. They appear 100% human and the one character in the DA:O party implied to be one has no additional abilities to show for it, but the lore shows them to exist.

Maybe we could play as king Maric's bastard son.

Yeah, but you can multi-class as a Half-Elf without experience penalties. All classes are favored classes for Half-Elves.

The only reason to be a half elf is for the summoner favored class bonus.  More Eidolon evolutions is a good thing. =D

However, what good is a summoner when one can be a Malconvoker?  Oh the hilarious situations we can get ourselves into.

But yes, half elves, not really all that great.  Dwarves, now, Dwarves are where it's at. No encumberance is always a good thing.

And borderline broken. Dwarves running around in full plate and wearing hundreds of pounds of gear without slowing them down, the absurdity!

On the other hand half-elves do have some nice race specific alternate class features.

Utterly irrelevant D&D crap. I kindly suggest you stop spamming my thread, Vandicus and Blue.

Oh, that? I thought they were discussing the Half-Elves from Neverwinter Nights.

NWN uses the D&D ruleset and is set in a D&D setting. Same half-elves actually, and totally full of suck.

Wouldn't that prevent players from choosing a female protagonist, since Fiona's baby was a boy?

[Eveangaline]

I'd love this. Before the DLC that revealed pappa Hawke, I pretended my Hawke was half elf, I'd love the option to choose 'raised in an alianage' as our characters history

Who knows how many bastard children King Maric had though. He had one with a maid and another one with an elf. They could also give the female option a different origins. I just think that if it's a half-elf, it would be a wasted opportunity to not incorporate it in somehow. It would also make the books more revelant by making more connection with the game, IMO .

OT it could work pretty well for an underdog archetype background.

Eh, it isn't worth it when you can be a Drow Noble and have Greater Darkness whenever you want. It's just not fair, really.  Drow Noble op.

Can Bioware give us that origin?

[unbentbuzzkill]

it would be nice but NEVER GOONA HAPPEN! the cover of DA3 should say "leave all hope all who enter here."

Unfortunately, most good DMs will either ban the Drow Noble feat line or Drow altogether.  What are they doing out of the underdark anyway?  Honestly.

Or maybe Maric's bastard son's kid there for we get to pick the gender:P;)

[Doctoglethorpe]

I'd play a half-elf if they let me. 

I doubt it will happen... but yeah I'd love that, would be a pleasant and completely doable compromise. 

[MillKill]

I like this idea. Sounds like an excellent way to accommodate those who want to play as an Elf.

[Eveangaline]

Half elf with a full elf sibling that can either be nice or carver-esq (I liked the dynamic with carver)

[Dintonta]

I like this idea! =)

Forced to play as a human? Irritating, but not unsalvageable, as half-elves count as human. In this way, we could have a city elf or Dalish cultural background in some way and still not automatically get thrown out of whatever exalted position that only humans could occupy, thus removing some of the pain from Bioware's latest gutstab. I implore you to go after this possibility.

Love this.

I'd totally play this background. Even though I don't usually feel super connected to the elves, I can totally relate to that "where do I belong?" angst.

This would make a really, seriously interesting background story. I approve!!
