Â Trying to endure this long enough will eventually result in her getting a headache. Â Moreover anything really high-pitched, or shrill will also aggravate her, particularly if it's enduring. Â For awhile there were a couple of aetherite nodes that were purple (where most of the rest were blue) - such as the one to get to the Bowl of Embers from 1.0. Â Eva would get a headache if she remained around it for more than just a few minutes because of the noise.Regarding the hearing aspect, something I have been toying with is part of Rogiers appearance, his ears. I was thinking about making him play down the better hearing aspect and having his family be slightly deficient in that area(his fathers side, passed on to him). This could be resulting in his almost Hyur looking ears.
I've heard others suggest that duskwights might have better night vision...
Another thing I've wondered - do you suppose we experience sunburn more easily than other clans? Â Given the paleness of her skin, I once stated after she moved to Ul'dah that she got a really bad sunburn, but this got me thinking about how even those duskwights with darker gray skin might face exposure to the sun.
Also any other interesting medical angles or conditions you think we might face as a result of being a duskwight?
Anyone think I could get away with this lore wise? Also the LeCard family has been in very shallow caves for a long time now, more like using them as huts than something to get further down and away from the surface.
(also would be playing down night vision, though an interesting idea indeed)
As far as sunburn works, I suppose they could be more susceptible to sunburn, but that would be a question of how melanin affects skin tone in the different races. if it works the way it does IRL then the darker skinned DW would have more resistance to the sun, but if it works the opposite then yes DW would burn much easier.
