Noticed a weird thing.. I made a white / caucasian character (skin tone all the way left), yet Alec Ryder appears as a man of African ethnicity and in the codex the mother appears to be brown / dark skinned as well (east indian descent, etc). Scott was also made caucasian (default scott in fact)... so I'm not sure what's going on.
Not really an issue, but it does seem peculiar seeing a blonde haired white character having an african man for a father, and a dark skinned mother as well.
Guess I'll just have to head-canon that Sara and Scott were adopted?

Did you base the character of a non white preset? Yea, then that's what you get...

Let me guess...was it sister, head preset 9? Same here, my slavic\european-looking twins got the 'Very Wrong' daddy. And it's not a bug (I've seen the video with the different heads\dads - that's what he is supposed to be for the preset of my choice). They've dropped the ball with this one, imo. At the very least default Alec should have been an option. Yeah, well, either this or mother had cheated on poor old Alec.

Did you base the character of a non white preset? Yea, then that's what you get... The preset I selected was light-skinned... relatively speaking anyway, the preset looked possibly hispanic.. definitely not african ethnicity though (there's 1 or 2 african presets, I did not choose either). The only way my character makes sense visually is if she was mixed-ethnicity .. black father, white mother... yet both parents are very much dark skinned and both children are white. I also tested it with east-asian female and east-asian custom brother (as in Chinese / Japanese / Korean appearance etc). .. father again appears as african male... very weird.

Two dark skinned parents do not biologically produce white children. One white and one dark skinned parent certainly can.. but not two.

Dad's skin tone always matches that of the unedited preset.

That very much sounds like a bug. There's a video on youtube that shows how Alex is supposed to look like based on each preset and only two were african in features.

If I have to headcanon that my Ryder was actually adopted, so be it. I may make Scott look significantly different just to reinforce it a bit more.

That's odd. I haven't checked Ellen's codex yet but I have a white character with Morgan Freeman Dad (present 9) too and there was a video log that shows Ellen, but she was white. So I chalked it up to a case of my Ryder being mixed race but inheriting most of her traits from Ellen. Next time I'm on the game I'll have to look at the codex and see if her face matches the one from the video...

I mean, I have two brothers and we are not adopted, yet we all look so much different (but we all white) also our parents look much different too, so it does not always have to resemble each other, I would rather have default look for parents and more options in the CC.

Same thing happens in DA2. I am not fond of the whole family generation initiative, and I think the best thing to do is to let the player to customize all three from whatever the best guess they made. But I actually prefer to play an adopted character, so it would not bother me.

Except that in Codex of the mother, she is also dark skinned... Two dark skinned parents do not biologically produce white children. One white and one dark skinned parent certainly can.. but not two. Actually they can, but it is extremely rare and only if at least one of the parents had one white grandparent.

Alec has a different preset that corresponds to which preset you use, and it doesn't really change to match your customizations. It's an immersion breaker, sure, but Alec and his wife seem to have fairly minor roles (in person) so I can suspend my disbelief enough regarding the whole racial mismatch deal.
