Wow. Really?

Wow.

You know, I also thought it sounded like Lady Emmeld genuinely cared about Sera and that, while claiming the cook was racist to avoid admitting she couldn't bake was petty and hurtful, it was rather petty of Sera to discard all the good the woman did for her. To only remember the cookie incident and hold it against the woman forever.

This just confirms it. And honestly? It's just another reason for me not to like Sera. In general, she seems like thr kind of petty grudge-holder who'll discard all the good things about a person does for her over a long period of time in favor of the one bad incident she won't forgive or forget. Lady Emmeld took her in and cared for her and left her everything, but she did one sucky thing by playing the race card to hide that she can't bake, and that's all Sera chooses to remember about her. Likewise, a Dalish Inquisitor could potentially be the perfect girlfriend who's always there for and supportive of Sera, but after the Temple of Mythal the one time they refuse to discard their elven heritage for her, that's it. Sera doesn't remember or care about that whole year of being a loving girlfriend. That one moment of being "too elfy" is all Sera needs to discard and dump them.

Now I really dislike Sera as a character.

I couldn't help but laugh reading this post.  Sorry, no offense intended, but reading it I almost thought I'd gotten ahold of Sera's script.

Technically, there is... They just look completely Human. Take Alistair. His mother was an Elf (Fiona, acretai) and his father was King Maric. Nobody could tell he's an Elf from the mother's side, could anyone?

 

I think there's just a slight difference lore-wise (ie Half-anything being shorter, with Half Elf/Human being just a tiny bit shorter than normal Humans, but otherwise regaining full Human outlook).

 

No this false. Bioware has stated numerous times that if an Elf breeds with a human the result is 100% human. They are not shorter, they do not retain anything from the Elf side whatsoever.

Funny, since the accounts I remember state exactly what I said. Funnily enough, I can't source them at the moment, but... If you got sources of your own, reliable ones, well... It's a scientific thing to accept you were wrong when proven so. I'll see if I can find my sources meanwhile, but that might take a while. I can't remember where I read it, and I have university things to do, too.

 

Edit: Actually, I thought it was Wiki, but it isn't. You seem to be wholly correct, for which I apologize. While researching, I have also come to a theory that is unrelated to the thread...

You are probably thinking of Dwarves. You can have half-dwarves that are shorter humans or tall dwarves in terms of appearance. 

 

I know there are some posts from Bioware devs on this in the old forum somewhere. I'd go find them, but I'm on a phone right now, so it's a bit awkward to do anything on.

Yes, that is probably what I had on my mind.
