How insulting! How could you say that!? There are many developers with fanbases much worse than BioWare's. Like, there's... that one... with the, uh... The... you know, the... Aha! I got it!

 

Spoiler

 

I would say all gaming forums and sites in general are pretty awful. This actually one of the more nicer ones.

Finding a dwarven trainer is quite a tall order; I hear they're short in supply. There just aren't any dwarven warriors on the surface of any stature. And the chance of finding a reputable rogue trainer is quite tiny. By and large, the surface dwarf population isn't that sizeable. That's because the dwarves of Orzammar think little of their surface brethren.

Oh, there are dwarven specialists...

 

 

They're called the Lollipop Guild!

:lol: No, I kid. I kid.

 

Srsly, I would just like to see more dwarven culture involved in DA overall. They're my favorite DA race, tbh.

I keep asking myself the same thing.  I settle for liking all the posts that slam my serious dislikes.

Blackness is caused by eating fresh onions when pregnant. Apparently, Ferelden women just loves onions.

They or their ancestors immigrated from the northern countries.

 

Why aren't there black people in The Witcher 3?

Hmmm, Witcher 3 is based off of European Medieval mythology.

So, Ferelden took on all this immigration much like modern-day Britain, the only thing is that Ferelden has more black people than modern day Britain lol...

Name three black characters from Ferelden other than Barris and Master Dennet and then we'll talk about how the country is flooded with black people.

Ridiculous link you gave me there, Europeaness is practically glaring in TW3...from Viking/Celtic inspired Skellige to Central/Eastern European inspired Velen/Novigrad.

Also, i can't name them because most of them were background characters. Odd isn't it?

Not a ton of examples, but...

1) Sten is from Par Vollen, which is north of Rivain.

 

2) Technically non-existent. Though there was an Adaia, she likely never encountered Leliana, who made up the events of Leliana's Song.

 

3) Chasind and now residing in the Free Marches.

 

4) I said NAME three black characters. Do you know that NPC's name? There was the odd black elf in the Alienage too.

2. Wow, your ass must be amazing considering what you just pulled out if it. It's canon, not a what-if.

3. Not just him, pretty much every Chasind is black or at least EXTREMELY tan. I think Chasind are a black race in the canon, considering that's how Bioware has made them look on basically every appearance.

4. Still counts.

Geographically speaking I find it odd. Lore wise, usually people in the North get darker in skintone while southerners are white. Chasinids should be white in complexion and not dark.

I believe that black people exist in Rivian but I find it odd and a bit of stretch that black people constitute half of Ferelden according to DAI background characters.

Thedas is southern hemisphere, north gets you closer to the equator. I guess that is weird though, north is the warmer place but has a lot of white skin color. However... Rivain and Antiva both have rather dark skin too, fitting for being closer to the equator. I guess the Chasind are just special? Then again... Inuits (Eskimos), who are also in a cold place near a pole have a skin tone quite similar to the Chasind. Chasind might be their real world analog?

Why aren't there black people in The Witcher 3?

Why should there be any? Is there some EU quota?

Noooooope. World of Thedas Vol. 2 establishes that Leliana's Song is mostly embellished. Tug and Sketch were real and Marjolaine did betray Leliana, but the rest is a fabrication.

Noooooope. I issued the original challenge. Can't name them, doesn't count.

Why are you arguing with me, incidentally? You know that Dutch's underlying point is basically "all these non-whites in Ferelden is a bad thing," yes?

(Incidentally, there is some seriously thick irony in questioning the inclusion of black people in a thread called "This game is racist.")

I'm not questioning anything. I sometimes just like to argue a point for the sake of it. Your point was that people with black skin tines seemingly just sprung up from no where in DAI, and I decided that I could show that that black and dark skinned people existed in DAO and DA2. That's all. I didn't touch the overall argument about inclusion of different skin colors or whether Ferelden should be diverse in skin tones or not, I simply answered a question about if black characters existed before DAI made them more common in the franchise.

 

Oh, speaking of this... Anyone think dark skinned dwarves make no sense? They live underground where sunlight is basically unheard of. They should have no melanin in their skin to speak of, sunburns should come easier to them than a ghost white red headed and freckled person. But nope, some dwarves actually have a moderate tan color to their skin. I've yet to see a truly dark skinned dwarf though. If DAO even mentions this oddity about how dwarves should be paler, a Dalish child can ask your dwarf Warden something like "if you live underground, shouldn't you be all white?" when you click on them. I guess it's just one of those things were realism was thrown out the window because, well, who wants to be stuck with the only skin tones being super pale and the canon being that your character sunburns in 10 minutes?

That was never my point. Actually, that was Dutch's point, that this flood of PoCs popped up without warning in Ferelden. Which naturally leads to a rant about historical accuracy and "pandering" and how the Witcher was better for keeping the cast as white as mayonnaise.

My argument was "Where? Where is this tidal wave of black Fereldens? Outside of Dennet and Barris, every other named black character is from outside Ferelden."

Oh, but they're all in the background. I see. I never kept a running tally of ethnicities among NPCs, but I guess someone did. :rolls eyes:

Oh. I thought you... Or someone... Was saying black characters were not canon before DAI or something. Also, I didn't keep a tally either. In fact, I cheated. Those pics? Posted them before when a topic about race came up and someone made the argument I THOUGHT was being used here too about how black characters were not canon and existed solely for SJW pandering, and I posted those pics to counter it. I simply went and grabbed that post again and reposted them.
