She was definitely lightened, but at least she's still a beautiful WoC.

[myahele]

Interesting. Leliana and her are friends?

 

If leliana kills with her daggers...does that me Josephine kills via her quill? Ala tywin?

[Sherbet Lemon]

She sounds AWESOME...and she's written by Sylvia Feketekuty!!

 

 

[Gannayev of Dreams]

Having all that information all at once about her it's like... where do you start?

[Afro_Explosion]

Sweet Josephine!!!!!!

[KC_Prototype]

OH MY GOD GUYS MY BROTHER WAS LIKE 'OH MY GOD ARE YOU GOING TO CRY OVER A PICTURE' AND I AM HYPERVENTILATING AND SQUEALING AND OH MY GODDDD JOSEPHINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ILU
 

I really hope you're not implying that the skin tone lightening is part of the reason she looks amazing and that lightening skin tone is a reason to thank Bioware.
 

 

 

I am light skin myself but I was not implying anything regarding her skin being lighter making her more attractive. I was saying I liked her as a dark skin character but  still thinks she looks beautiful as a light skin character.

I'm going to chaulk up any apparent inconsistency in skin tone to wonkyness with the still-alpha game engine.  The devs said that was why people's eye colors kept changing in different screen shots.

 

Josephine is hot, though.

She kills with her magical presence.

[SerCambria358]

She doesnt look too light to me, she looks hispanic in my opinion

 

She almost shares a resemblance with Eva Mendes, IMO

oh, nothing

[Sheryl Chee]

Yeah, they certainly lightened up her skin tone, been tweaking the nose to I believe.

 

Her skin tone has not been lightened. In screencaps of the E3 trailer, she looks extremely dark because of the lighting. Her shot in the character reveal is taken in an sunny outdoor area that is much brighter.

[Gannayev of Dreams]

All that info and we're talking about skin tone?

Character Profile: Josephine

Spoiler

[DRAGON AGE]: Josephine is a new character to Dragon Age series. What can you tell us about her?

[SYLVIA FEKETEKUTY]: Josephine is a people person. She’s optimistic, she likes finding solutions, and needs barely any sleep to work at full capacity. She misses the view of the sea from her bedroom in Antiva City (though she only brings that up with friends).

[DA]: What was your process when developing her character?

[SF]: When I came up to DA: Inquisition from the Mass Effect 3 team, the idea for Josephine’s character was basically one word on a whiteboard (“Diplomat???”). When our lead writer, David Gaider, handed me the character and told me to go, that word was enough to get me started. I tried to think of what kind of diplomat would work well with the Inquisition. Why she was the best fit for the role, how the heck she ended up there, how she would bounce off other characters, etc...

[DA]: Was it challenging to start from scratch, or did you enjoy the experience?

[SF]: I enjoyed it, but it was daunting. One of the characters I wrote in Mass Effect 3 was Liara. Fans had gotten to know Liara from ME1 onwards, so I was able to do some fun stuff by pulling from the history players had with her. Josephine, however, I made up from scratch. The freedom was great, but in the back of my mind I was anxiously asking myself “Does her characterization work? Will people enjoy talking with her? Do I know what I’m doing?!”

[DA]: What was the end result?

[SF]: I received some great feedback from the rest of the writing team early on that helped me a great deal. I fell in love with Josephine by the end—especially once I heard her voice actor reading lines for the first time. It was like she’d finally become a real person.

[DA]: As a noblewoman, she seems to bring a different set of skills to the Inquisition. What is her primary area of expertise?

[SF]: Diplomacy. Josephine has worked for years as an ambassador in the royal courts in Thedas. She’s very familiar with Orlesian politics, which comes in handy. She’s an excellent mediator and speaker. Crucially, she knows just how hard it can be to change people’s minds, and how much someone’s ego is tangled up in being “right”. Josephine prefers to gently steer people into agreement whenever possible, but she’ll take a stand when needed. There’s occasionally an iron fist beneath that velvet glove.

[DA]: How would you describe Josephine’s role?

[SF]: Josephine is the head ambassador of the Inquisition. She handles diplomatic disputes on the Inquisitor’s behalf, raising the player’s reputation and spreading the Inquisition’s influence throughout Thedas.

Or in less fancy terms: Josephine does a lot of work that’s very important, and also very boring. Keeping a huge organization like the Inquisition afloat takes negotiations and paperwork and endless politics, but Josephine lives for that kind of stuff. She prides herself on having the Inquisitor’s back (for example, making deals with the right people, or heading off power plays by other nobles) so the Inquisitor is free to make the decisions that actually shape the world.

[DA]: Any other considerations when creating Josephine’s character?

From the start, I knew she shouldn’t be a warrior. She’s surrounded by people who are excellent, highly-skilled fighters, and I wanted our diplomat to be different. Josephine’s handier with a pen than a sword, and much more useful negotiating than wandering the wilderness.

[DA]: What did you enjoy most about writing Josephine?

[SF]: Finding a voice for her, finding the ways she fit into the world. Writing the scenes where she becomes friends with the PC. Those can be tricky, but I love it when they come together. Working with Josephine’s voice actor and cinematic designer (the person who “directs” the conversations) was particularly great.

It was also fun to write a romance again. And because I know people will ask: You can try to win Josephine’s heart as any race or gender. I think we ended up with some fun moments whether you’re trying to romance her or just be her friend, but there’s one particular scene that I love.

[DA]: As a skilled diplomat, she must be difficult to win an argument against. Does she get along well with the other advisors?

[SF]: She has a good relationship with Leliana. They’re old acquaintances, and they both know the other is very good at what they do. That said, I think it is a relief for them to see: “Oh, our work styles mesh after all. Phew!” That’s not to say they always agree with each other, but they’re a good team.

Meanwhile, while Josephine and Cullen respect each other, Josephine would always rather work towards a diplomatic solution while Cullen doesn’t always think it’s the practical choice. Josephine can get impatient with that attitude and the clash in their philosophies.

[DA]: At the end of the day, we’ve got to know: in a battle of fashion, who wins between Josephine and Vivienne?

[SF]: Wow, I feel like the last person on earth qualified to judge that! I’ll just say: Vivienne will wear the latest haute couture, no matter how outrageous, and make it look good. Josephine appreciates finely-made clothing, but when it comes to formal wear, she’s a traditionalist. (Of course, Antiva follows lots of Orlesian fashion trends, but Josephine’s not going to admit that. Hometown pride and all.)

How do you get these before the official release??!!

[SmilesJA]

So when are we going to have the title changed?

[Corday]

Josephine! What a beautiful name.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

So when are we going to have the title changed?

I'll work on the OP once I read all the stuff I missed. 

[Lukas Trevelyan]

So when are we going to have the title changed?

OP just found out, give her a moment to process lol

[BabyFratelli]

I'm not sure her skin tone has been lightened. With that tone, in earlier screen shots and art, she could've looked darker because of lighting. Nevertheless, she's beautiful and still a WoC which is awesome. Bioware does it again. 

[Hanako Ikezawa]

At least I can finally call her by her name now. Knowing it while everyone else didn't was torturous sometimes. 

[ebevan91]

When Sasha wakes up from her coma.
