Ikr. That white Isabela mod was so goddamn offensive. I know that it's totally free-speech and they can do what they want, doesn't mean it's not offensive as hell. 

I have a few appearance mods on some chars. Usually just outfit mods or minor tweaks to make them look a bit less cartoony. I hate seeing those mods where they make every female companion look like an animu chibi. 

Seriously, drop it (Not just you, but everyone engaged in this discussion). This is not the purpose of the thread. If you wish to talk about mods or other things involving alternate appearances, take it to another thread.

question of the day, which character is next?

Well, I hope it is Scribbles but I think it may be Cullen since his VA said there will be a video he is in released Friday as well.

I mentioned it in the Sera character thread - why is she suddenly white? It is the kind of thing that garners controversy and hurt, whether one means for it to happen or not. Sorry if i'm being melodramatic Biowarian for once, but forreal I hope the lighting is just doing that. 

 

 

I'm confused... was she not white before?

I'm rooting for Scribbles today. I mean Cullen is cool and all, but we've already got info on him. With Scribbles we don't even know the poor girls name.

With how much Scribbles has been used around here, I'd love if that is her ingame nickname like from Varric or Cole. Even a one-shot reference like Javik's "Prothy the Prothean" would be satisfactory.

I'm fairly sure Cullen's video is a behind the scenes thing with the voice actor, like they've done with Brian Bloom and Claudia Black. 

 

Also, would Scribe Lady necessarily be included in this unveiling if she's not a companion? Maybe they're only revealing the nine party members.

Shh, don't crush my hopes.

Hmm, Sera looks a bit like Sacred Ashes CG Lelliana to me. Except obvs blonde....and elfy. 

Hope we get Iron Bull next.

[ElitePinecone]

It seems like Leliana/Cullen/Scribe would be better suited to being revealed once they actually start talking about how the Inquisition works as an organisation, in terms of mechanics and the different responsibilities each character has.

 

(Though, a name and some information about her would be fantastic.)

 

I mean, they're clearly still significant characters (Mike mentioned doing a multi-region quest arc with Cullen a few days ago) but I don't really know what Bioware actually means by "heroes". 

[nightcobra]

you just know they're leaving the godly bearded warden for last.

 

 

.....sodding teasing nug lickers.

I would love something like that, I remember laughing for five minutes straight after hearing it in game.

If that's Cassandra sitting next to her, then they have similar flesh tones.

Actually it is related to the discussion of Sera's apparent alteration in skin tone . No one is getting angry or hostile, it's a discussion related to an NPC. Now, if we started throwing around insults, yeah.

That is tan. Compare the skin tone to Burly beard man and hooded smoking man. 

[TheTurtle]

If there is one person I really want to see above all others it's DHMG. Only because I really want to know if his real name is fitting of his vibrant clothing scheme.

[KaiserShep]

I really love her design, but then I love the redesign of the elves in general. While Merrill and Fenris looked OK, the NPC elves looked like a mix between the Na'Vi and this guy.

 

Anyway, I'm not as opposed to her hair as others here, but I think it would have worked better if it wasn't so neat and clean cut. Something like a pixie cut would probably have suited her better, but whatevs.

[Fishy]

She's  gorgeous. So I guess romanceable.

[BloodyTalon]

Hopefully we get info on the burly bearded man today.

Ah, I see what you mean. 

 

I assume characters are always going through variations - Sera's hair colour and style seemed to change a lot over time, for instance. I remember an artist on ME3 saying that Steve Cortez went from white to black to Latino and changed about four or five times as they tried to decide on a final appearance. 

 

Whitewashing characters is most definitely a sensitive topic, but I think some things really do have to be chalked up to the artists simply changing their minds about the look of a character - and if that's their final version, that seems to be the appearance that was decided. Without knowing the motives for changing the character, I'm prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt.

 

(After all, if that survey concept art hadn't leaked nearly two years ago, we'd have nothing to compare this one to - and nobody would ever know her appearance or skin colour was changed. It probably happens all the time with all sorts of characters, far more often than we think.)

[AkiKishi]

Her skin tone is similiar to Cassandra.We have already seen pictures of Cassandra and they match with the character pic for Sera in comparison to the concept.

[CrazyRah]

for some reason i already want this Sera dead.

 

i know why. haircut.

 

You'd make Kim Jong-un proud

I compared it with the Burly beard man, or the bearded grey warden and he actually has a more brownish color than Sera who has a pinkish color in the parts of her face which catch the light from the fire place. You can more easily see this by selecting it with a color picker.

[Battlebloodmage]

It's probably either her or Vivienne.

Indeed. Her skin actually looks darker in that picture because she's in a lot of shadow, and the light from the fire is behind her. 

 

I don't think it's intended to be as dark as Cassandra's. 

[Finnn62]

I'm not a fan of Sera's eye make up, but I actually love the hair. Different strokes, huh? Overall, I think she has the potential to be a great companion

[Alan Rickman]

Don't mind me, I'll be here in the corner hoping beyond hope that she's not gay. I just want my canon male Inquisitor to be able to tell her:

 

She's looking hawt as s**t.
