I mean if I had a Black Warden having a pale child with no features of mine seems kind of odd doesn't it?  Kind of immersion breaking. 

[The Hierophant]

Morrigan cheated on you.

[ThreeF]

He looks like his mom, nothing unnatural about it, it happens.

[X Equestris]

Just believe that Morrigan's features are completely dominant.

Also, I've seen more than one child with parents of different races who only looks like one or the other. You'd never be able to tell they were mixed if you didn't know their parents.

Those elven god genes are strong, apparently...

[DuskWanderer]

No, I don't see what's unusual about it.

Yeah but Hawke's family changed with Hawke...shouldn't it be the same with Kieran.  I just think its a curious move by Bioware.

Not that curious since we don't get to customize the Hero of Fereldan at all in Inquisition, and the Keep doesn't recognize a custom Hero of Fereldan.

Except that he doesn't really?

 

Kieran has brown hair and green eyes.

 

Morrigan, Yavana and Flemeth meanwhile all are shown to have yellow eyes and (formerly) black hair, so it seems that these are common traits on his maternal side, so it would have made sense for him to have had them as well?

 

Having him have similar hair and eye colouration to his mother would have eliminated the problem of the Warden's varying appearance and race, since it'd be clear that he took more after his mother's side than his father? Instead, aside from sharing similar facial features, those other traits have to have come from his father?

 

Unless they reveal that Morrigan is able to glamour him to throw people off the scent of him being her son, his hair and eye colour that they gave him seem really off-base? It's not really important, sure, but it does nag at me a little?

 

[(Disgusted noise.)]

Witch genes are incredibly dominant.

His face structure and lips are very close to Morrigan's. Eyes color really means nothing, I could have been my father's female twin in all but eyes color.

[Zered]

I'd blame the mail man.

Still, there's a common eye colour and hair colour for all Morrigan's family, so why didn't they have him follow that pattern?

Omission? So we can wear our tinfoil hat and have something to talk about? Who knows.

 

(btw I don't have my mother's eyes either, so someone has a phenotype)

[Bethgael]

DA doesn't follow the usual genetic rules. Elf-blooded children look human, no matter what. Alistair's father has blue eyes and his mother has kinda grey-greenish, yet his are amber brown (brown eyes/ brown/black hair are dominant in real-world genetics so he must have had a brown-eyed parent if they followed RW Gencodes).

 

I wouldn't worry about it. Magick.

 

I'm more concerned that he seems to be the only child left in Thedas. Like, anywhere.

[Todrazok]

I always pictured the kid as having Morrigan's black hair and yellow eye color, and yet Kieran ended up having brown hair. In my case it works out since my Cousland has brown hair. It does struck me as abit odd that they simply didn't make him resemble his mother more than his father, but alas, I'm not too bothered about it. 

[Vit246]

I wish the OGB was a girl with raven hair and alabaster skin.

[Urzon]

The HoF turned out to be sterile, so she had to pay a visit to Alistair afterwards.

[Sifr]

Maybe he's pulling an Adam from Good Omens and is unwittingly using his OGB powers to manipulate reality around him?

 

Perhaps the other children made fun of him once, so he accidentally made it so that now there are no other children? And none of the adults realised, because as far as they are concerned, nothing at all is out of the ordinary?

 

Kinda like that episode of Star Trek TNG, where Crusher is the only one to notice everyone is slowly disappearing, until it's only her and Picard left? Who then is completely incredulous when she asks about the rest of the crew, because Picard doesn't see anything weird about how a ship built to fit over a thousand people should need a crew, when it has just a Captain and a Doctor?

 

Future DLC should either add children in again, or wink at this weirdness by having a wild-eyed individual running around frantically yelling to everyone that all the children have gone missing, but no-one pays them any attention?

Everyone has a phenotype.

[ThreeF]

Everyone has a phenotype.

I mean that thing where someone has genetically a different eyes color than what it is visually.

[Farangbaa]

That's not what a phenotype is.

Phenotype is the expression of genotype.

Take eyes for example, and lets keep it simple:

2 coding genes: b for blue (recessive) and B for brown (dominant). Phenotypes are blue and brown.

Genotype: b b --> Phenotype: blue
Genotype: b B --> Phenotype: brown
Genotype: B b --> Phenotype: brown
Genotype: B B --> Phenotype: brown

English! it fails me sometimes. (I'm actually quite happy people understand me to the extend they do)

[Farangbaa]

It's not your English, you generally don't understand what a phenotype is, I think.

You see it as something independant of genetics, but it's completely dependant on genetics. It's just the expression of. You can have genes that aren't expressed, but that doesn't make something a phenotype. There's always a phenotype.

Be thankful that he is present if exist and not just a codex entry.
