Also, this is his ingame character model after removing his armor and cleaning up:

He has a white model and an Indian portrait.Lord of Riva wrote: ↑ February 26th, 2024, 21:14Wow, that is shit, this points to a high woke rating, again. The character formerly white was specifically "brownwashed" to appeal to wokesters, right?rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ February 26th, 2024, 21:07

EDIT: Unless we want to argue that the base game and the DLC are separate entities that is.
By the way, they Tali'd him

Doesn't even make sense in the least.
@Roguey if you could provide some portraits of disfavored without helmets on I'd appreciate it.Roguey wrote: ↑ February 26th, 2024, 19:33The Disfavored are one big happy ethnonationalist family.Consul wrote: ↑ February 26th, 2024, 18:21Could you explain it in some greater detail? Did you mean to say that in the game there is a faction, which could serve as an allegory for white nationalists? I don't think you meant it in the literal sense. Either way, both would be pretty shocking to see in an Obsidian game.Roguey wrote: ↑ February 26th, 2024, 11:31The most sympathetic faction that the majority of people join is a group of white nationalists.
The Disfavored are an elite unit that recruits only Northerners. The underlying idea is to ensure that every member of the legion is tied to each other not just through their oaths of fealty, but also blood. Families that stood beside Ashe as he faced Kyros and bent knee together with him are highly respected, although their members are expected to hold their own.
Graven Ashe and his legion consider themselves to be the defenders of civilization fighting against barbaric hordes, believing that the end justifies the means. As a result, the Disfavored are ruthless in their conduct towards the enemy and conquered populations, giving no quarter. Prisoners of war are conscripted as working slaves or put to the sword, villages are put under martial law with capital punishment being common, and any defiance is punished by collective reprisals and destruction of property - up to and including destroying entire towns.
