Wow, first role playing game where I can't make my character look at least SOMEWHAT simliar to me...

well, that's very, very fair.

oh god lets turn it into a racial issue, quick!

[Ailith Tycane]

Try harder?

[sypherin]

With a bit of luck this might turn into another one of those thousand-page discussions on racism in games.

I was able to make a black character, though I wish we had more options for "black" hair. We either get cornrows, very short hair, or bald. Everybody else gets to choose from many other styles.

Also an unfortunate oversight is that despite my character being black, my parents (using the Human Warrior origin) and sibling are still white. I figure they could at least have done something like Fallout 3 in this respect and have perhaps 3 sets of "parents" depending on what race you chose. (No need for 3 voice sets, just different models).

Or we could view it as an issue of the races that actually exist in the game world. God forbid that a game world is created without high-melanin content!

Yeah, but most fantasy worlds treat people of color like they don't even exist.  And when they do they are always the "bad" guys. (Dark Elves).

It takes a bit of work but you can do it.  You just have to concentrate on the basic face shape.  Hair is another matter entirely.. they seem to dislike curly hair in most games that have some face gen.  All I know is these mideval type realms must have discovered hair relaxer at an early stage of evolution.

Dark elves tend to be some shade of blue? How many black people do you know that are blue? Or have pointy ears?

And there is a pretty good option available in the human presets, I would just go from there.

Or like most mideval type realms, they are based on mideval times.  That is, Europe.  Europe in those times was entirely caucasian.

Bioware games in the past always have black and east-Asian characters, Really if anyone has a right to complain it's south-Asians.

[elkston]

Aahh, that' s a very cool face you've done there, vyvexthorne! I'd have chosen that character if it was a preset.

I agree...that shows some skill.

[Augustus Graves]

You gotta love how the average gamers acts like Morrigan in this game.



I noticed it too Elkston. Sure, you can manipulate the face, but the skin colors and hairstyles kinda stink.

Are you the same person that started the thread about this at Gamespot? 

[ieaticecream]

who wants to be ugly?

[thesmitharmy]

You cant make an Alien either. Now how do you think those poor green fellows feel?

[bushmins]

Why cant i make a thread?

[orpheus333]

I know we have no measurable athletic ability but what wrong with role-playing a white person?

[Teemu733]

You can make black characters, though I guess it's best to stick to the bald, the two short cropped, or the braid hair styles.

[Teemu733]

 You can make black characters, but of course the creator does favor Caucasian features.

[Syrellaris]

with every new rpg with a character creater we get the same discussion, yet you never hear anyone complain that in other games were being a gangster is central, the characters you can choose from nearly always have a foreign background.

[Danzara_666]

No black characters? Oh My God! It's like Fallout all over again!



But joking aside for now. I think you could make a black char on 360. I looked through all the skin colors and tones and there were - in my opinion/if my memory serves right - options for that also. Feel free to correct me
