Someone mentioned a long time ago in the thread that elves also have slight luminescence to their eyes when viewed in the dark. They glow. Like cats. That would be an interesting sight to see a white/pale haired elf with glowing eyes at night. Add in the fade step and you're golden for ghosting, lol.
That was me. It was on dragon age wiki as Elf trivia.
I don't understand. If you sleep all day, how will you play another playthrough?
If you sleep it's forever Fade-Tongue™

I totally hope it evolves beyond just Fade Tongue
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! xD
Isn't it mostly female Trevelyans that look like Daenerys? I haven't seen elves that looked like her. Not here at least. If mine does, it wasn't intentional haha. I don't think she does, though.
I just did the breakup scene with all the music turned off. Just the voices and the natural sound of the wind and water. It felt a lot more intimate. I liked it.
Who cares? People's characters can look like whatever they want, It's not wrong or bad for them to look similar to something else.
going to do the break up scene T_T.. why am I doing this to myself.
Truth. No matter how much anyone tries to argue with me that Hawke is happy because they're with their LI I just want to shake them.
Lose your home to the blight? Have one of your siblings killed while you try to flee? Become a refugee? Forced into indentured servitude to earn your family's ability to stay in Kirkwall? Having to live with your **** uncle who screwed your family over? Losing a sibling of yours to the taint, the only option to save them being to give them up to the Wardens - OR sent away to the circle? Your mom being murdered and patched up in some horrible Frankenstein experiment? Living through a qunari invasion you cannot stop because one of your team mates is/ was a selfish theif? Being betrayed by your friend/ LI as they commit an act of terrorism to suit their twisted form of justice? Your city torn to pieces in a fight you couldn't stop or prevent? No matter who you choose to support they succom to blood magic or psychotic obsession?
That's like... a clinical case of incurable PTSD. And a lesson in never trusting anyone. Ever.
Gonna take me a million years to catch up with the thread, but I agree with this 100%.
When Cassandra takes Varric to task for not contacting Hawke earlier and he ends the conversation by saying 'You people have done enough to her', I just wanted to hug him.

I've played the beginning of this game *so* many times that I've started looking in the background of the cutscenes. It warmed my heart a little to see Solas crouch down and help a refugee during the cutscene right before you talk to Mother Giselle in the Hinterlands.

Well sure. Did anyone say it was a bad thing? I've noticed a trend but it doesn't really surprise me. The actress that plays Daenerys is very beautiful and her look works well in a medieval-esque setting!
The symmetry. hes s Mage. People can easily role play why there would be attraction and a connection between the two. Also elves are stereotypically coded as 'ethereal other' so super white hair which is not typical would fit. That's my take on it. My chick was a brown hair green eyed rogue. I didn't like how the white hair looked in the game and the archer is really fun to play. I already had a human Mage that was with Cullen.
Yeah I gave my elf white hair and the texture looked really strange up close. Like styrofoam. That might just be the hairstyle though. But the white color sure highlighted it.
Hmm, I can totally get with the idea that the Forgotten Ones. It makes sense!
So, just out of idle curiosity... (please don't kill me.) I'm just wondering how the "default" became that Lavellan is basically a Daenerys Targeryen lookalike and is usually a mage... it seems the popular choice by a large margin in a lot of fan work I see and character choices...? It just seems so... singular.
*runs away and hides*
I really need to hear more theories on the well of sorrows
slow tear like It helps with character development for a dalish trying to learn crap about their people but they can't cause they don't understand spooky voices
have you watched all my videos on the well of sorrows?

When I was trying out my Trevelyan last time, I noticed this too. It was so sweet and actually rather unexpected as I'd gotten used to the companions kind of just standing back during conversations. If I'm not wrong, wasn't the refugee an elf as well?
Looked into that strange idol from Dragon Age 2.
It's the central figure of an altar... to the Old God Dumat. The hell is that doing in an ELVEN ruin?
Here's some stuff from the wiki about the altar
1) You pick up the side quest in.. Corypheus' prison.
2) The altar ITSELF is IN the Grey Warden's Prison Tower? How did anyone decide that having an old god ritual altar in the same place as a Tevinter magister's prison was a GOOD idea? For all we know, he was likely ecstatic to be so nearby.3) The items required to complete the ritual are: Crown of Dumat, Dumat's Sacrificial Dagger, Dumat's Ritual Scroll, and the Sacred Urn of Dumat. All of these Old God Dumat items... located in the Gray Warden Prison Tower too.
4) Should you complete the altar's ritual, your journal updates to, "Sacrifices made at the altar of Dumat appear to have pleased the old god. The altar now appears dormant."
5) Your reward for doing the ritual is an accessory called, "Chain of the Penitent"
The important take away here is that this statue is representative of Dumat. It's not Elven. It's certainly not anything from the more modern, angular styles of Tevinter. What is an idol of Dumat doing in an Elven ruin? What purpose would there be to place that there? Why would the elves who built this place put idols to Dumat throughout the most holy, deep, and ancient portion of the tomb?
EDIT: Also, one of the Gray Wardens was clearly going to complete this ritual in Corypheus' prison. Why else would they have all the items there rather than destroying them or desecrating the altar themselves - like you can? Weirdness.
Andrastianism had not become popular by that point, so it's entirely possible that the Grey Wardens overseeing the construction of Corypheus's prison would still worship the Old Gods. It's doubtful they realized he was THE High Priest of Dumat.
Either that, or Corypheus's unconscious command of the Wardens coerced one into making a shrine.
It's bizarre that it seems connected to Dumat. Bioware manages to freak me out with architecture. I swear.
The Emerald Graves Knights' tomb reminds me of the Brecillian Ruins with their strange mixture of Tevene and Elvhen influences. Do we have any knowledge on when the tomb was built? It could be that it was started a very long time ago by the Arlathan elves or even before, and succeeding nations of elves living there have built more on top of it?
Still.
Bizarre.
At first when I saw the three weird statues over the dragons, I figured it had to be the Forgotten Ones. But Dumat.
But the Creators.
But Dumat.
But.
I.
DAMN YOU, GAIDER!

Not necessarily. I created a male character my first playthrough.

I blame the British male voice.
Damn, Harry Hadden-Paton.
Just damn. 
My canon warden was a dude. /rolls
I created three Dudevellans, and deleted two before settling on the one I'm playing with.

Wait, do people insist on making characters of the same gender as them self?

This is actually way up from ME3.
I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE that 32% is a HUGE CHUNK! People seem to dismiss anything other than the majority as nothing. 32% is 32% os sales. That is 32% of people talking about it. 32% of people who buy the merch.
32% matters. 18% matters. Heck even the relatively small population of homosexual and trans people who played the game matters.
Everyone matters. Everyone's money counts.
