Although, i've also not seen this as my "default" character, it's the tanned female elf cleric for me always.

Yeah, it could be a callback to that. That was my first thought anyway, when I saw this thread. Honestly I hadn't even thought about it before now.

If the character creator didn't allow for a certain appearance to be made, then there might've been something to discuss, but with the "enable all options" function, Larian seems happy to let us make our characters any color we please. Which I appreciate. I can recreate Haer'Dalis reasonably well as a planar tiefling thanks to that.


Don't you just hate it when people with dumb opinions have nice avatars?
