OP +1
Also, "dark-skinned" does NOT equal Black.

White people hate talking about race. They really do.
A. Not all of "them" do. You don't know anyone's ethnicity on here (as far as I know)
B. Don't turn this into a flame thread.

I never liked Jacob, but that was solely due to "boring Bioware male lead syndrome" (Which strangely enough doesn't seem to apply to Dragon Age, as Alistair had great personality and Anders was like video game character marmite). Kasumi and Anderson were such strong characters in their own right I never really noticed their ethnicity at all unless it was brought up, and that's the way it should be.
As for Dragon Age 3, I don't want to see any "African" (Or whatever the Thedas equivalent would be) characters who are only there for the sake of it. I'm fine with dark skinned Rivaini companions like Isabela, and maybe if we meet some characters from countries further north then that would make sense, but it's not something that should just be done for the sake of it.

Isabella wasn't even black though. She just had a tan. And remember, she was originally white in DA:O. They just overhauled her look for DA:2.

+1. No tokens. Just awesome dark skinned people, and no more "canon Hawke" esque prologues.ziloe wrote...

Yes, she was brown, not tan, and no, she was not white in DA:O, she was the second to last shade of brown in the CC:
People need to get over it. Rivaini people are brown. Isabela is Rivaini.

I agree, if they want to do more for human racial diversity for the characters. Make them interesting, strong characters rather than there being a person who just adds racial diversity with nothing interesting to say.

Who's to say? I have a buddy who is "black" but his skin is on the lighter end and I know girls that tan and are way darker than he is.

Are you familiar with the term, browning? It's the idea in a lot of non cultures, that it's more beautiful to be of a lighter colour, so they use products to lighten up their skin. I'm not saying your friend does it, but people need to be reminded of that old saying, black is beautiful. Especially when in today's western culture, it's being displayed as otherwise.
