Then again they may not be related at all, in which case drawing influence from tribes such as this would be a really cool idea to bring some much needed diversity into the DA world. I think they probably are somehow related to the Qunari, but there's no reason why the two ideas could be incorporated into each other. Kind of reminds me of the people in Fable from Aurora. Orlais and Antivia in particular.Įdited by LinksOcarina, 25 August 2012 - 04:46 AM. Dragon Age has sort of avoided that problem, although it is clear which group has influences which in terms of real-world analogues, and let's be honest, most of them are caricature's in the end too. Sometimes they don't, but this is obviously one of those examples where it can go either way. The point I was making is that the idea of mixing cultures to make something is common and is usually done. I think the IDEA of mixing together cultures to make something awesome is nice but.people just don't do representing ONE culture right sometimes and it makes me sad.

Is she Native American? If so, what tribe? Is her outfit inspired from their traditional clothings or just patched together from things you THINK Natives wear. Something that is an amalgam of culture would be stronger IMO, design 101 really, kind of like what they did with the various countries in Thedas being based on Europe.Įrm, have you ever heard of racial caricatures? That is definitely what she is. Like from this design we get a decent mix of native american/african/mayan culture. I mean I know it's not racist at all, in fact she was a pretty unique character because she was a long-range fighter for the most part, while the rest of the cast had primarily melee attacks, but if it becomes too close to something realistic, it then becomes a bit.touchy. One RPG I like a lot is an old PS2 title called Rogue Galaxy, that featured a tribal character named Lilika in the cast. The problem is it's hard to be PC now a days with something like that.
