Patch 1.08 notes and discussion (June 8, 8AM PDT)

It has not. You can still only destroy it.

I did not see anything on Google answering my question. Does anybody know ?

I don't recall any explicit requests for an "ultra-pale" option.  Most people just wanted to be able to make a white person.  Bioware are the ones that went all ginger on us.

It doesn't have to be "ultra-pale", not yellowish or not tan would do pretty nicely. Honestly, that's like saying you don't understand why people want to be able to change hair color or resize facial features. It should be part of the CC. There really is no reason why it shouldn't be, since white people aren't exactly anything exotic or unorthodox.

The fact that you can have purple hair but not white skin is ridiculous.

Even just looking at the skin selections is a little ridiculous.  There is only 1 white skin and it is covered with freckles.  Is it really too much to want another white skin without the freckles considering we have 9 variations for yellow and brown?

Apparently the answer is yes considering how little effort went into their "Big CC Update".  They added one new skin tone and a slider for complexion, mod'ers literally had already done this 2 months ago.  They gave us a 10th preset, but not even a new preset, the heads already existed in game they just weren't available in the CC.  Lastly they made the hairstyles usable across gender which likely took someone a minute to click a few check boxes.  Pretty disappointing effort when you think about it.

Some of you twitter users should hit up the BW folks asking when the bulk of the CC Overhaul is coming.

Thanks.

Except you know nothing and dont read the codex.





They are all-female mono-gendered species, one gender and that gender IS FEMALE. Deal with it.

I've seen codex entries that are rendered void in future installments. Whether in the ME universe sari are "female" is up for debate: 

There is some conflicting information regarding the gender of the asari. Asari are a mono-gendered species with no concept of gender differences. According to Liara, "male and female have no real meaning for us," and, if asked, says that she is "not precisely a woman." At the same time, asari are often viewed as an all-female race, including by the Codex and by the Galactic Codex: Essentials Edition 2183. To humans at least, asari appear female with breasts and voices that sound female. Even among the asari, many individual asari are referred to as “she” and “her“ but some asari prefer male pronouns, while others gravitate toward gender-neutral where language allows. Asari also bear feminine titles like “huntress” and “matriarch” and asari offspring are referred to as “daughters“, however the asari may have chosen feminine pronouns to simplify language translations.

Then there's this conversation in MEA.

Asari are female to humans, and turians, and other species that have males and females. I don't think even BW knows what it's doing half the time. Personally, I think the asari are female for all intents and purposes, though I question certain biological functions of asari.

No, I agree that asari biologically kind of function as females. I have questions about other biological functions of asari. 

We don't seem to be on the same page. You're equating these "show us your ideas" concept art commissions to developers' design goals. The two aren't remotely the same, at the early stage. Concept art is one of the earlier stages of ideation. That's the entirety of my point. There's no reason to believe that this concept piece was ever even remotely considered as a feasible or worthwhile goal. Short of a developer dropping on and saying such, we'll never know for certain. Putting it into context with the rest of the portfolio, though, this one doesn't seem to have made a deep or lasting impact. Saying, "They should've gone with this," is no more useful than saying, "They should've used concept-Cora's appearance in-game". These are okay opinions; but these pieces were never necessarily in line with what the devs wanted or thought possible.

Either way, it's not important. I just wanted to clarify the point I've been trying to express. The concept design would've been cool. Concept art generally is much cooler than the real thing, since it's all about stretching the imagination, without technical limits.
