ahaha, I am not sure if I should laugh, but you''re so right on this one Wav. Though I don''t like the "oh we have got to put
some black people in here or we will get sued."
Yeah, I''m no big fan of political correctness. It can be just as tyrannical as bigotry. The answer to bigoted speech is __MORE__ speech.

Now on the other hand there is something a bit annoying at only seeing white guys all ove the place... but then again, the medieval population of Europe wasn''t really famed for being multicultural and multi ethnic, right ? I mean, ok, we got Arabs in France around 732, but that''s pretty much it ...
Hahaha!!! Yeah, but that''s what __KILLS__ me. Uh, how many friggin'' __DRAGONS__ did you see wandering around the upper Rhine? Or kobolds? Or 50'' giants?
Now why don''t the same rules apply?

Now of course, why for instance, are most people of Darksun only suntanned white people. I mean, it''s a desert WORLD, isn''t it. the black skin would be consistent with the background there, wouldn''t it ? (yeah, I don''t really recall seeing any black people in there).
LOL!!!! At least they''re consistent, no?

This is so much easy to turn into a flamewar, but honestly, it''s just a symptom of the greater problem of lack of originality.
You know, I''ve got absolutely __NO__ problem with playing Duke Nukem, or Gabriel Knight, or Gordon Freeman __EXACTLY__ as they are. None whatsoever. Heck, I''ve no problem playing Laura, for God''s sake!
But when it comes to playing a role, it annoys the hell out of me that developers will spend so much energy on providing 50,000 types of shoes with matching leather handbags and apparel but for the same two monoculture mannequins. Whither customization?
