Mhh i l love a darkspawn gender regardless.

[daveliam]

I have zero interest in a darkspawn companion, male or female.  Not.  Interested.

[Decepticon Leader Sully]

what about the Messenger?

Yep.  Not interested in him either.  I'm not interested in demons, darkspawn, spirits, gods, etc.   I know they come with the territory, but I never enjoy those characters. 

[smoke and mirrors]

It`s about time we had a Female Dwarf LI .

[Decepticon Leader Sully]

Yep i wouldnt mind a two handed elf girl to.

[Greenface21]

I hope that Bioware would not create companions to just meet some quota of racial/gender diversity. They should use whatever makes sense with the overall story they are trying to tell.

[Decepticon Leader Sully]

Oh tell me about it. freekin SJWs can go suck it.

Nah i just want cool characters rather than grey blobs.

I wouldn't mind having female qunari companion, maybe she could be a former Tamasrran. Such a companion would certainly give us more insight on Qunari culture.

[Celtic Latino]

Personally I'm in no way offended about the lack of or gender disparity of fictional races. To me it's not about making a quota so much as it is future suggestions and ideas. I get its Biowares story and I do respect that. But even writers need feedback and suggestions that, who knows, might take the games in a different direction instead of rehashed tropes and formulas.

I like this idea.

They already create characters to meet an arbitrary quota of mages/warriors/rogues to draw from, but nobody minds that.  And in fact, nobody is asking them to have one token companion from every single race/gender combination.  

 

I'm totally with you, OP.  I love the female characters we have for DAI, but I don't understand why every female companion has to be a model-perfect human or elf while we have men like Varric and Iron Bull running around.  It just seems like the male characters are often allowed to be more varied and interesting and have more rough edges and personality than the female ones.  I want to see more creativity with the female characters.  I want to see less fear of making them not sexy enough.

Agreed ive said it before id love a female berserker elf. who is a total slobbish drunkard.

That would actually be quite hilarious.   Plus it'd be cool to have a female comic relief character this time around.

I think the exactly same, DAI actually looks a lot worse in the female character department, at least the other games had more balance when it comes to companions. Three female companions is awfully low to me, with no diversity at all especially when it comes to silhouettes.

I know its freekin rair to see those. MLP asside shen did you last see the Lucy Ball character?

Sure but white stereotypical girl gets old over and over again. As I recall, stats actually show that males don't even prefer white females.

I was thinking about Mass effect and how we had female Quarians and Asari (the "human" aliens) right from the start, but it took ages for us to see a female Turian, Krogan or Salarian (the "creature" aliens). And for DA, there were female elves and dwarves from the start, but not female Qunari (the most "alien" looking race). I was actually a bit disappointed at how traditionally human the female Qunari ended up looking.

There really does seem to be this tendency, intentional or not, to shy away from creating females who aren't attractive to human sensibilities.

[llawsford]

Well, I'm not sure if introducing new races could work in a first place. I'd be happy to meet strong, pragmatic, hunter-type female character (scarred and probably muscular too) in one of the next DA games. Race irrelevant, but not Qunari for sure. Elf maybe. As for men - I'd like a BG's Garric-type bard. Young, naive, a bit eye-candy. And he would be singing like an angel

[boissiere]

I don't think they need introduce any other race but adding diversity on the available companions' race and gender.

[Decepticon Leader Sully]

this only an elf

Some races you never saw female versions of at all.  Drell, vorcha, batarians, volus, possibly elcor and hanar (though I imagine hanar are genderless, and for all we know, all the elcor we meet are female).  Are we to believe that every single race in the galaxy (except the sexy blue and purple ones) leaves their women at home?

 

Even if we look only at the humans, you never see a female character like Zaeed.  Someone aged and grotesquely scarred.

You know, its funny, but I never thought of that. 

 

In ME 2, we had two aged, veteran soldiers:  one male and one female.  The male was scared, grotesque looking Zaeed.  The female was super sexified Samara.  Interesting.

I think its a little more balanced when you add in the advisors, which at times appear to assist you in the field at least Cullen and leliana. Advisors are not insubstatial NPCs, they are a group you can interact with much like a companion, you just can't put them into your party. In terms of interaction though they are not two bit characters.

 

There are 12 companions and Advisors 5 of which are women. I hardly think that is gross under representation.

 

Head Scout hardling is a second teir Npc that you have multiple interactins with and she is female.

 

I think you can narrow ones scope in DA:I to make an arguement of low female representation but its not an honest assessment of female representation over all.  Bioware has done a pretty good job of making strong, varied and complex female characters for DA:I. Any suggestion that they haven't is people not only making a mountain out of a mole hill but also disingenuous.

 

I swear sometimes people go out of their way to attack Bioware for being exclusionary in the very areas bioware has made a concerted effort to be inclusionary.
