There were absolutely complaints about her skin color on the old BSN and even more complaints when the devs described her as being a black woman. There was a mod to make her white that I remember seeing people loudly declare they were going to use. I'm certain it wasn't anywhere near the majority of straight men, but then I'm not honestly convinced the majority of straight guys hated Cora or Morrigan's "man jaw". Seems like more of a vocal minority. They never called her black. Just non-white. She is Rivaini, and they did say that Rivaini is the DA equivalent of black.

Well, I never managed to follow Mass Effect Andromeda past the many other complaints about the game. Such as the animations, the general dialogue, the combat, the female PC default character being made so extremely ugly compared to it's real life model, while the male PC default was made to be much closer to the real life model. Game had lots of complaints not related to the romanceables. Also, I did not know about Morrigan's man chaw, at least not in DA:O, in DA:I I can see it, but yeah... her face looks rather slim in DA:O. Yes, it was the Inquisition version that got complaints. I didn't think Scott was that close to looking like the model, tbh. I wonder if it's just that straight dudes aren't adept at appraising other dudes, but I thought he was pretty different. I thought he looked better, but ngl, I actually saw some gay guys complaining he wasn't as hot as the super ripped model. So, maybe it's perspective. lol I think many did male Ryder to female Ryder comparisons. And I can see quite clearly that there is a huge difference between just how much they look like their real life models, spoilers, female Ryder looks nothing like the IRL model, whereas you can atleast see some sense of semblance for the male Ryder.

They said all black people in Thedas would come from Rivain, not that all people who come from Rivain are black. Saying she is Rivaini is not at all the same as saying she is black.

I know since it was during a conversation I had with them. Edit: I see I messed up. I said ethnicity when I meant race. My apologies for the confusion.

Thus, she is black. As someone posted above she may only be half like Duncan, but she is still considered the Rivaini race.

The Rivaini were not confirmed to be black, black people were confirmed to be Rivaini. They have never said that all people "racially Rivaini" are black. If she does actually have a real race like Dorian and Vivienne, it is most likely South Asian.

It's 3 AM and I just burst out laughing, warn me next time I wish we WERE talking about sucking Simba's dick, instead of which made-up people are or are not "black". Then let us leave this topic, and go cavort betwixt the supple boughs of the forest. For the trees are ever stalwart, and their delights are manifold. Yes, brush against their soft-furred petals. Taste of their bursting fruits. Climb their rough girth, scent of bark and mulch scratched in your skin. Let their animating demons embrace you, and fall willingly into their temptations.

Accept the embrace of your dark mother, Vertigomez. She calls you home. Do not heed this false panda’s words! Your dark mother seeks only to consume, to crush you in her roiling maw, you and all the world above. You she will devour, along with everyone else and all the gentle trees, until all that remains is a watery waste. Cling to your lovers, and whisper their names into their leaves. Whisper softly, with your back turned to the sea, lest your very breath should call her to you. Whisper sweetly, and bury your face in their flowers, lest she turns her dripping mouth to you. Unless you’re into vore, I guess. In which case, carry on ya pervert.

Posting this here too. Just watched the special ep of Sabrina (loved it) so this was bound to happen I prefer the LI to be a different class from my characters but I would love an Ambrose-like love interest as mage love interest Maybe like an anti-tevinter tevinter mage that doesn't like tevinter if that makes sense (I need to burn that place to ashes sorry lol)
