How in the hell did you make a caucasian character? Bioware's idea of diversity. 50 Shades of Brown Are white people actually complaining about their so-called lack of representation? Christ.

So this how it happens. Caucasians are essentially depigmented Northern Africans who migrated to Ice Age Europe thousands of years ago. By the time of ME:A, Caucasians get their colours back because of sun radiation. Nice Mass Effect science.

Ah I hadn't tried them all, limited time and that. I did one with a light skinned caucasian appearance though. True I don't think they were as white as me for example. But I'm like that Billy Connolly joke, I'd have to sunbathe to get white, I'm more a pale blue. I'm not white white but my skin tone is lighter than anything they offer in the CC. I mean, it's not a deal breaker or anything but it is a little irksome. I'm exactly the same and honestly it bothered me.

Wait wait wait. I don't have early access, so can someone explain this to me? You can't make a character as pale (or paler) than the default Ryders? If so, there's another reason why they should have let us edit them! Ugh. Or, you know, given us a freaking decent CC The CC definitely skews darker. The slider is actually different on the different presets too. I used male Preset 5 for the basis of the guy in my profile pic. And my guy is the lightest that this preset can get: And his father was definitely not a default black guy. His skin tone did not seem much darker than my character (and seemed lighter than the preset, but I can't be sure). When I used this preset, I was able to make him pretty pale. Even more pale than the guy I'm using who seems more tan than pale. But this preset gives you really severe crow's feet wrinkles. I don't mind wrinkles, but these are pretty jarring and not well done, so I had to scrap the guy I made here (no pics saved, unfortunately). But he was a few clicks paler than the preset. oh look a wild white guy appears. Sigh. Looks like another thread created before the OP actually did their research.

The few people who can actually manage to pull off the "light" skin thing, does that have something to do with them having a 4k TV and the rest of us not having one? Cause if that's the case, then that sucks!

A clear win for a game about hunanity... And people are bitching. I mean ok maaaayyybbbe they overcompensated like they usually do...but the more i think about the cc the happier i am. Though that you might get a papa with different skin tones is disconcerting... If true.

The issue to me is more if it's true that dad Ryder's appearance is based on your preset and not on your actual character skin choice. That means it limits the options of any given preset severely whether you are wanting to alter a white, brown, or black preset. It's arbitrarily limiting for everybody.

I am too sort of half-amused, half-weirder out by the constant complaint that you cannot get skin light enough on some presets. By comparison, Revelation-online I watched through beta in the West this fall had a huge thread going: We need darker skin colors, and enthusiastic support for it (RO also had every slider you can imagine and weird stuff like different colored eyes, etc, full on everything goes, save for dark skin apparently, but you could have green or red one....). The two echo one another in a strange way. But, to BioWARE's credit they twitted back, that they will be looking at pushing the sliders on the models that do not have lighter hues. RO never responded to the requests of darker shades of skin.

Yes, because it's not cool when it happens to anybody. You'd have a point......if you couldn't be white in the game. But you can. So........ Have you tried it? I mean, you can get white-ish, but not like the defaults. I just want the slider to go a couple shades lighter and then I'll be happy. Look at the default skin and then make a preset character at the lightest skin tone you can and tell me what you think. Again, this isn't a deal breaker for me. I made a bombass babe last night who I'll probably stick with till the end, but it does annoy and I don't think it's a non-issue.

i just find it a little amusing that bioware has created a cc where you can successfully create a protag of other races... They've done this with every game. Only, with the other games you had more options. then why are ninety nine percent of their protags white? Why have i never seen an asian Shepard or an inquisitor that looks like Josephine? I mean yes their audience is mostly white but i doubt it's by that huge a majority.

My point is that you can't get the same shade as the defaults. I'm not saying you can't make white at all.
