Hmm, I understand your confusion. You don't see them as stereotypes because you think this is the way PoC really are. So, you don't see what the big deal is. Great to know. It's nice to see a classic observed but updated with a more modern touch and not executed in the fashion of a hammer like so many trolls do: you present bait in the form of allegations of racism and present a pretense of seeking discussions by way of vague replies yet will re-draw from actual engaging in a discussion where you'd have to provide actual arguments. Rather than simple silence, you proclaim that the very fact that the poster seeks a discussion with you at all is evidence that said poster will be incapable of understanding your points. Or am I mistaken by how similar your behavior is to this style of trolling and you actually do have points to present in favor of your statements? For one who seems so terribly interested in participating in threads about or related to race and who seems so certain of their views, you seem to so shy away from ever actually presenting what thoughts gives you that certainty of mind.

Ohh, so it was Spongebob you liked! I've never seen much of the show but from the clips I've seen, there are some very funny moments. I also like the animation style: it fits the humor and is very recognizable. 68.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcixrfTvoJ1qzly7d.jpg

Wow! You actually misunderstood what I meant that I don't care what you think about my opinions and assume that I don't care about women to sooth your ego! This is even more amusing than I thought.....

Some of the devs talked about how Isabela is black. 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. ... then what the heck was Vivienne? D: Viv was black. Isabela was Hispanic.

Racist thread. Why only African-american, and not any kind of african? Or any black character? Only counts if the character is also american?
(being kind of sarcastic here but also making a small point).

But I am guessing the OP really just meant black female as a romance option? Which of course is a rarity as far as romance options goes.

Bioware has yet to give us one, but I won't complain too much, because they will when they are ready to. Support for black woman LI ☺👌💙

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. Swtor has a black female romance option.

... then what the heck was Vivienne? D: Viv was black. Isabela was Hispanic. Vivienne was in Dragon Age. You're right, but we're in a Mass Effect thread. Also, Vivienne had Merrill's build from DA2. Also, Rivaini isn't Hispanic. She looks more Indian (not reservation natives) and her accent is English. That's how I see it. I'm not invalidating your opinion. It really doesn't matter in the end. If you're Bioware and you keep spouting inclusion, then they've had plenty of Mass Effect installments to do that. Traynor, by the way, even with her accent gave me the vibe of Latino heritage like myself. However, a vibe is not the same as being hit in the head with accents, skin color and voice acting.

Her accent is English because they got her an English speaking VA. They could have as easily gotten a Hispanic VA. Not to mention, Riordan came from Fereldon but sounded French. So it doesn't work. It's whomever is cheapest on the VA market.

There are a lot of talented, well-known, bi-lingual voice actors/actresses that would gladly lend their voice at whatever the market is paying. Sorry. I don't like the picture your painting of BioWare. All it does is reinforce my notion that EA is cheap.

BioWare is given $40M over 5 years with all the employees, their benefits, VA fees, system-wide changes to accomodate Frostbite, new technical challenges, the dumbest PR campaign ever (YouTubers wanted or tried to get people to boycott BioWare and EA), moving expenses, taxes and all the other crap... and yeah, $40 million is a pittance to an appreciated art studio like BioWare.
