I'm sorry, I'm going to have to take a moment here to flail that you put me in the same category as aimo.
*flails happily*
Anyway: yeah, as much as Ferelden is relatively "colourblind" (especially for elves and dwarves, I don't think there's any mention of darker skinned ethnicities, just random characters who happen to be darker for some reason) it is awfully white which is definitely one reason I made my second character non-white/a POC. The fact that all the non-mages (hmm. And maybe Mahariel?) have pasty white biological family members doesn't help, but fandom could still stand to be a little more diverse with their PCs.
