WHY BIOWARE?!! What is so hard about creating black woman that can be romanced by a male? You can easily fix this!

Come to think of it, you haven't romanced a black woman in ME so far. I'm up for it!

What about an African-Canadian or an Afro-Colombian? Would those be viable alternatives?

Seemed like it almost happened. In Cora's concept art she looks black/mixed race but they changed it in the final game. I prefer her concept art look alot more even if she does look alot like ashley.

I can't think of a single Bioware game, or Fallout or Obsidian game, where there was a black female LI. Not one. I might be wrong, but I can't think of one.
Closest I come is Isabella, circa DA2. Darker skin, but I never considered her of strict or heavy African (like) descent.

Alternatively, we could have an Afro-Japanese Brasiliera like Street Fighter's Laura Matsuda, where not only would we solve the issue of there being a lack of a black or azn female waifu in one swell swoop, but we'd give Cora a new BFF given their mutual love of asymmetrical hairstyles.

She is Rivaini, and people of Rivaini descent are the equivalent of African in the Dragon Age universe. They also talked about how that was one thing they loved about the Frostbite engine for DAI was that they could properly portray that since the Eclipse engine used for DAO and DA2 couldn't.

Also, thread title sounds like OP is blaming his gaming habits for not being able to hook up, which I tend to believe

D: Vivienne has Rivaini parentage. According to her, her parents were merchants that came from Dairsmuid which lies in Rivain. This is revealed in banter with Cassandra. On the subject of characters with Rivaini parentage: Duncan's mother was from Rivain while his father was a Fereldan carpenter with Tevinter roots*. Note: *According to Dragon Age: The World of Thedas, vol. 2.

A CC that let you create not only your protagonist but also your human companions could solve this for the most part.

I know, it's kind of cliche, but it's a beautiful cliche - I would love to see some Zoe Washburne like character in the future games.

Darker skin, but I never considered her of strict or heavy African (like) descent. SWTOR. Raina Temple was an African (like) LI for a male pc. If I could have companion overlays like in SWTOR, I'd make Cora black, and Liam of Asian descent because it would be cool, and no other player will be offended by it or whatever. TBH, Andromeda captured the human looks diversity better than other games they did. But in LIs by some reason, female pc gets two black ones in a row, but none for the males. Not sure why.

I didn't vote any of the options. If it was an option, I'd vote the same as I did over in the Redhead Romance thread: Indifferent: It's the character that matters to me, not the appearance.
