#elven genetics

[emileighxxx]

if sophie has kids, will they have multiple abilities too? we all know elven genetics can be weird so would this happen? also, think about sophie’s inflicting. if she has a child, would that child have a weird genetic mutation that makes their invisible ability visible?

Ability genetics

disclaimer: this has nothing to do with how rare an ability is. it shows how they are linked and passed down genetically, and how they can work together.

children are more likely to get their parents ability or an ability from the same category as their parents. (IE. a child with a Froster parent is more likely to Manifest as a Froster but can also Manifest as any ability in the Nimbiferous category) this applies to every category of ability

though there is something unique with Elemental abilities in some cases a child with a Elemental parent will get a random Elemental ability that wasn’t in the same category of their parent. it’s unknown what causes this phenomenon and there is continual research going into it.

Actually I think you can take your version of how the elf/human babies work as canon (remember Feynriel in da2) he certainly didn't look fully human. The writers can say that's a mistake but it's in the game so it's canon for me. I don't like how they wrote this (frankly terrible) lore just because of Alistair, genetics are random, you can just say that Alistair looks very much like his father and not his mother (which happens in real life? like?) not base it all on his case.

Pretty much, my version is really just directly taken from old DA lore. Not to mention, Weekes has even corrected himself that elven features are possible. They would simply never be as “severe” as Feynriel’s ever again.

Plus Alistair has his mother’s nose, so...I just don’t see the purpose behind the new lore at all?

I’m just going to stick to my own lore.
