LOL! I was going to post a similar thread about Doom3! Where are the black people?! Only Asian and White people live on Mars?! WTF?

There's actually a black scientist way before you even meet up with monsters.

New York Times appears to have an article about this issue. Anyone registered & read it?

I'm surprised that developers don't bother with giving the player a chance to customize the appearance/sex of their avatar. As Kotor or actually nearly any role playing game show, you basically don't have to change anything except a few pronouns...

Is this what your looking for?

Search and ye shall find etc... Thanks! Only a one page thread, though

And actually the article was about a slightly different issue - I presume that Lionhead wouldn't make a playable black character a gangsta stereotype.

The only videogame representation Indians have got is Dhalsim. We make up a 1/6 of the world's population dammit!

Well most games are set in the future...

Play Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem...

ED was rather ethnically diverse. Yet again, one of the few truly mature videogames out there.

Big deal with the fucking skin color. Do you really need to play a character that is having your own skin color to like a game? common. This is useless complaining.
I reckon a skin color option would have been easy to implement but what would that make a real difference in your gameplay and feel???

yeah, that's a good excuse...

Not sure if it was mentioned,but if you stay long enough in the sun in Fable,you will become black,or at least get a very noticable tan.

lol, they ripped off animal crossing!!

YES! Take THAT, San Andreas!

What about the Jews? I can't think of any Jewish game characters aside from BJ Blaskewicz from the Wolfenstein games.

dont see that many christians either...
