Dark Ritual Magic.

 

Perhaps the boy exclusively inherits his physical traits from his mother.

Just handwave it with the Old God Soul

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.

no i just didn't expressed what i wanted to say clearly, sometimes I do mix the terms especially when these terms mean different things in different languages but are essentially the same like "sympathy" "empathy" for instance. English uses "empathy" where I would typically use "sympathy". In English phenotype is technical term, but not to me when i use it literally.

 

At any rate I rather to know what is the proper word.

Could be worse I suppose, he could be demony and scaly like Alistair feared... which is another reason I wish they'd not cut that dialogue.

[vertigomez]

Well... I'm a bit sad that he doesn't look very half-dwarfy.

The fact that Kieran looks the same regardless of who fathered him - the Warden, Loghain or Alistair - should tell you something.

If Morrigan's features are dominant, how come a white-haired Warden, and the black-haired Morrigan, have a son who has dark red hair?

 

Kieran should definitely have been customisable. The important bits are the skin colour, hair colour and eye colour. Everything else is optional for customisation.

Fair enough.

Well seems that Milkman dropped by and said to Morrigan hi 

[Orian Tabris]

You can probably mod him if it is that important to you to deviate from the story  the game authors wanted to tell.

 

Sorry to break your immersion, dude, but Kieran's appearance doesn't affect the story. It's purely aesthetics.

I think it certainly would have been a NEAT feature if the game took into account the traits of Kieran's father, but I don't necessarily think he should be customisable.  Who knows what impact magic of varying types have on the physical features of children in this universe.  

We're talking about a universe where there are semi-sentient zombies who can corrupt and then be commanded by gods, who look like dragons.  And magic is actually some kind of living force which both permeates life and can be manipulated by living things too.  Keeping in mind that Kieran might have been a three-parent child (Warden/Morrigan/Old God), I think the fact that there is one consistent version of him is more down to convenience.

 

So...magic.

Doesn't seem unusual to me he looks the way he does. It would be silly if we had to go through a character creator 2-3 times a game.

 

And lucky for me, his appearance totally jives with what I imagine my Warden and Morrigan's child would look like.

Genetics. My hair is a natural black and brown with hints of red here and there. I carry genes for black and brown hair(of course) but also blonde and red.

 

There's a possibility I could father a blonde haired son or daughter even if my partner is also of dark hair. Same for a redheaded son or daughter. Is it really that out there? I don't think so. Its dependent on genes.

 

Its also possible I have a child with blue or green eyes given my genetics, even though my eyes are brown. I could father a child that has elements descended from me but are vastly different to how I appear. I don't see why this should be different in Thedas.
