DA:O doesn't have random blacks and Asians in a small village.
Plus Cassandra is still allowed to be sexy.

In DA2 she's already protected from the lewd male stare by being a disgusting she-male. A lot happened in those two years apparently.

Cassandra doesn't appear in Origins or any of its expansions. You mean the downgrade that happened between DA2 and Inquisition.

In 2012 she still looked quite decent:

(yeah, it was anime movie, but still)
Didn't even know this existed, looking up reviews it seems the movie was shit anyway. But that's besides the point, the real issue is that instead of a young hot brunette Inquisition gave us a manjawed 40 year old woman.

I'd say more like 30. It's the broad jawline, the eye area and the masculine mouth that are the problem. The eye area looks completely randomised, or like the result of some troubled facial geometry or bad animation. Eyebrows never start that close to the inner corners of the eyes, not even when you have really bushy brows. The eyes themselves don't look too far apart when the jaw is that wide, so fixing this thing would simply require that the eyebrows be made lighter on the inner corners. It would change her brooding expression which Bioware obviously was going for, but it would make her look more "real".

Christ Bioware are incompetent. Look at these for example:

They eye positions are noticeably asymmetrical, and the brows change shape drastically depending on her expression. This mod makes her mouth more pursed and therefore more feminine. Instant improvement.

This one has apparently cleaned up the eyebrows, but you can still tell that her left eye is further apart from the nose bridge, and may even be tilted differently based on many screenshots of the vanilla face. And the obnoxiously wide jaw is on special display there.

It's still infuriating that the returning male characters either stay the same or receive upgrades, like Cullen, while the females have all been downgraded between games.

Anders and Alistair basically retained the same facial geometry between Origins (+Awakening) and DA2, plus perhaps more detail afforded by the more polished engine. Cullen went from an average potato-faced bloke to a superhunk, although that may've been simply because he became romanceable.

As for the recurring female chars, let's not even go there. Bioware simply can't let them be because of their involvement in the social revolution.

Edit 1: Shit, Alistair actually appears in Inquishition as well, and it looks like he got a downgrade! At any rate he looks like Cullen's uglier brother. How lazy is that.

Grab the Codex by the pussy Strap Yourselves In Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
Hard to say which is more retarded. A woman fighting with a sword and shield, or a woman fighting with a sword and shield and with flowing long hair?

A more historical look would be long hair braided up under a coif or cap, as was done to protect the hair before the invention of shampoo. Then you could have a moment of intimacy during the romance where she lets down her hair like a princess in a fairy tale. I suspect that modern writers don't actually know what a coif is though

"Reject gay"

*posts guy with a rippling hot body*

I would never have thought of this warrior as anything but a “generic barbarian,” and certainly not “guy with a rippling hot body.” Besides, I only chose this particular screen because it’s the only one that showcases the proto-Morrigan.

"Reject gay"

*posts guy with a rippling hot body*
La vie sexuelle is well established as a gigantic poofter

You faggots have some weird fetish with converting straight guys to gayness.

I realize I'm a cool guy with a nice demeanor and soft superficiality, but my ass is a fortress.

Imagine not wanting a hot GF who has your back in a bar fight.
There was no issue until clowns began treating entertainment as a stage for their political views. Looney troons hate 80s warrior chicks just as much as the rest of that entertainment era.

They should only be allowed if they're hot and show an appropriate amount of titty meat. That was always a fair compromise but the fat chicks who infested every development studio are so god damned greedy that they make you play as a girl and you don't even get to enjoy looking at her. It's a total assault on every one of your senses and a FUCKING DISGRACE. I hope they all have nothing but miscarriages for the rest of their lives. Amen.

My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
I looked it up on urban dictionary. I did NOT need to know that.
If it makes you feel better the term is indeed an old British word for gay men but the explanation from urban dictionary isn't accurate, it just meant a feminine man, urban dictionary writers are just obsessed with shoehorning fart jokes into everything.
Past generations would also accept 'poof' for those who didn't want to waste an extra syllable.
