I don't care if it possibly contradicts lore. I just want it, and I hopewe're given the option.

 

I mean, how do we know if somewhere in thedas, dark skinned elves don't exist anyway?

[XMissWooX]

There was in DAO, so I would assume there will be in DAI.
In addition, the Devs have said that Frostbite allows for better rendering of dark skin tones, so they should look a little better now.

[MattH]

They do exist in game, so we'll likely see them again.

Why would it contradict lore?

Dark skinned Elves DO exist, we've seen them in the Dalish Camp.

[AresKeith]

It was in DAO, so don't see why it would change now

...What?

 

I mean, there are a fair few elves with darker skin tones in the games and other parts of the DA universe.

• Zevran
• Fenris
• Adaia (the City Elf Warden's mother)
• Briala (the Masked Empire)
• A ton of NPCs...

And the Warden (Dalish/Alienage) could the same varieties of skin tones as the dwarves and humans did. And to the best of my knowledge, there is nothing about how the elves appeared (save that they may have been taller?) in lore.

Sorry, your skin tone choices will be snow white, vampire, and Minnesotan.

Wait, wait. When you say "dark skin," do you mean Zevran or do you mean Drizzt do'Urden?

The former is certainly possible, but there are no drow in Dragon Age.

Personally I would love to have the some of the default heads include faces from various ethnic groups, African Asian, Native American etc. Our world is just so full of so many wonderful cultures, histories and looks that I want the chance to bring that rich diversity into the games main characters.

how are varied cultures and histories relevant to a fantasy setting, on a different planet, with different religions, sapient species, and political orders?

It's not like the option wasn't there before? We've been able to have dark skinned characters since DAO, and the elves don't have to break the lore to be dark skinned since we've seen elven NPCs with the darkest skintones available in the game o.O

Let's say that Ferelden remind of England. Orlay represent France. Antiva if I recall it right seems like Spain. Even characters have different speach manners - Dutch, French and British. So yes, varies earth cultures and histories affect fantasy world, why they should not affect default heads in character creation menu?

[LOLandStuff]

Those were obviously not elves but elven shaped chocolates possessed by demons. Like duuuh!!!

[The Qun & the Damned]

I would assume darker skinned elves existed in the world of Thedas, despite the crappy rendering in the previous two games. I mean, if it's anything like our world, varried peoples of different structures based on the region they hail from, despite their race, would get darker and more robust in areas that are more equatorial/warmer whilst those closer to the caps would be significantly lighter.

-points at avatar-

 

She's not even the darkest skintone from DA:O, she's like third-darkest. So yeah we'll have em. Hopefully with a greater range and more realistic undertones.

 

Speaking of, I'd like to get to the point technologically one day where we can choose our characters undertone seperate from the relative darkness of their skin.

[Lorien19]

I'm almost positive we'll have darker skin tones in Inquisition,and they'll probably look much better this time due to frostbite...Although the option to have more variety and better hues and undertones would be great!

Inclusion?

Making the player feel included is just as important as lore mongering.

[illymiel]

I gave up long ago on trying to feel "included". I'm half Danish and Thai. How many 6'5" half Viking/Asians can you make in a game? None.

 

It doesn't matter anyway. I roleplay. Not play myself.

How you look like? I always thought asian genome dominate white people genome and their children will have much more asian appearance.
