Factions and the Characters...

I'm just woundering why all the characters in factions look asian? In the first one, they were mixed but now it's a little onesided... kinda unfair for all non-asian users who want the characters to resemble themselves. Other then factions being set in a new world that resembles asian culture, thats no reason not to include different facial features.

This has actually brought me down a little and now am disappointed with the game. Hopfully in nightfall, changes can be made.

(p.s.) i know that original charatcres can be brought over to factions so don't even try to use that one on me.

They were European-looking with different skin colors. How is that "mixed" compared to factions?...

Ok. The game has an Asian atmosphere, hence the characters have Asian faces. If you don't like the game, don't play it. Nobody cares.

That would be exactly why the character models have Asian features...

just seems like the makers are trying to portay asians as a superior race when the game is worldwide involving all people, not just one.

what? because they made a game that takes place in an Asain culture with Asain looking people? Do you realize that every chapter features a different culture, and therefore different racial appearances? Prophecies was mainly midevil/european, Factions was asain, Nightfall is a different culture, Chapter 4 will be a differnt culture still. Gaile even asked in one of her in game chats what cultures we want to see in future chapters.
