Dragon Age has Elf/Dwarf/Human instead of Black/White/Yellow no need to drag such a silly topic into it.

Yeah, and humans come in different colours... 

So does dwarves and elves, it's just not a topic in Dragon Age at all.

do black elves have an extra rough time in Thedas?

I still find it mental how different she looked in game....

That's because gaining an upgrade to the main cast (especially if female) comes with some.... boosts.

I thought Isabela was meant to be black, albeit a lighter-skinned black? As anyone can establish by flipping open the character creator in DAO or DA2, the crappy skin tones are to blame for the "it's just a TAN!" thing, not the characters actual intended race. As was stated previously, Isabela's skin tone in DAO was only *one shade* lighter than the darkest option.

I don't know why black/dark skin looked so wrong in Dragon Age, when the same intended skin tone looks completely normal in Mass Effect.

<random wtf> Can you imagine if Fenris was black he would recall that Danarius would call him his little chocolate warrior while licking his lips?<shudders>

Elves are the black people of Thedas while Mages are the homosexuals of the thedas world.

Afaik the people with the darkest skin in Thedas are the hispanic or latin american looking Rivaini. Without the exploration of continents further north and the possible discovery of dark skinned humans, we won't get the really black aka african skin colours the OP seems to want.

I vote no to locking Homosexuals in a tower.

Hawke's family could be black in DA2, so we could have a black companion through our sibling. That's progress compared to what we got in DAO.

I, too, long for more though.

Because they had completely different engines. Dragon Age was made with Eclipse, and Mass Effect with Unreal. The Eclipse engine couldn't render dark skin very well. The darker the skin, the more it started to look like an overcompressed jpeg with jagged, pixelated lines where gradations of color occurred. We are hopeful that we can have a much wider range of skin colors (particularly darker ones) in Inquisition thanks to Frostbite.

I am glad to hear it.

Can't wait to see what you guys can do with character creation.

I know Battlefield 3 has a lot of black skins in the game and it looks great.

You heard it here first guys. The Dragon Age engine was racist!

Does anyone else remember the absolutely GORGEOUS black Antivan female drawn by a fan that was posted on Dragon Age's facebook page?

I've never forgotten about that fanart because I thought it was so stunning and looked so fitting too as a Dragon Age character. There you go: http://sphotos-c.ak....211675786_n.jpg

She was white and completely different looking in dao. Anyway if there's going to black people why not include all the races? Seems like every racial controversy revolves around black and white

I knew it! Time to make another thread to nag about it! /sarcasm
Seriously, you made choke on my drink out of pure laughter

Does Sarevok count? I mean his image in-game was a black male.

[Shadow Fox]

I always assumed Rivani were akin to Arabic folks.

Wow, this thread didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would.

I'll be damned. Hooray for you, BSN.

Woot for frostbite, and Woot for Mary! I'm really looking fwd to seeing everything this engine, and your tweaking of it, will do.

Heady times. Heady times.
