In a world where a certain race is the majority (even though the lore states Miqo'tes are uncommon, the playerbase choices makes it not so), it is kind of silly to make statements like that. Again, it's like being in Italy (I can only speak for my country since I've hardly ever seen the reset of the world) and complaining that's there's too many caucasians in it. It's Italy. We're a nation of caucasian.
Or it'd be like going to Congo and say "there's so many black people here....!". It's just, weird.
I'm just playing Devil's Advocate, really.
Imagine if you wound in up a new country, with wondrous new people in it. You meet thirty of them in a single day. Can you recollect them all clearly and distinctly at a later date?
I meet between 15 and 30 new people every single work day. I can remember perhaps five of their names. It might not have been so dismissive. Again, though, I wasn't there so I'm just trying to rationalize. I trust your judgment of the situation.
Yes but, as how this thread titles, my character has been hearing "too many Miqo'te" comments way too many times. It's not just one case of a foreigner stumbling before her.
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
