What the hell is your problem? He didn't say a damn thing wrong and you come out insulting him? I suppose your lack of WAR knowledge means you don't know there are orcs, which happen to be GREEN? And with your attitude you think you deserve any kind of answer? Grow the fuck up. Oh, and reported for personal attacks against TheSheikh. Feel free to edit, as the system keeps the original handy.
I second that, greenskin is not and insult its a race in the game your so nicely asking questions about. Why do you need to throw out personal attacks when all people are trying to do is answer your rediculous question?
What about my question is ridiculous? I'm actually dumbfounded by this statement. I ask about an aesthetically themed option as it relates to character creation and it's ridiculous? I didn't demand the option be put in mind you, I simply asked if it were in or if the possibility existed that it may be in, in the future. So exactly what was so ridiculous about the question again?

Well the game is under NDA, so your question is ridiculous and pointless as well as any of your posts in this thread.
Now to your comment about medievil europe? are you educated or did`nt you learn anything in your history class? Half of europe was ruled by black moors until the 1500s their have been black people in Europe since the Roman times so perhaps you need to go search some history books or perhaps ask your history teacher why they never mentioned it to you in the first place?
I could teach you myself but i have not the time or will to teach you something that you history teacher should of told you.
Are you educated? Unless you consider Europe being just the Iberian Peninsula and France, the moors never controlled half of Europe. Not to mention the Moors aren't what we consider black today, they were Arabian and Berber, whose skin tones aren't much different than the Italians or Greeks.
Sent me an email if you want me to mail you some pizza rolls.
At this present moment in time you cant play a black person in WAR, that`s not to say it wont happen in the future.

You are one one who needs educating?
It would not be inaccurate to say that the Moors helped reintroduce Europe to civilization. But just who were the Moors of antiquity anyway? As early as the Middle Ages, and as early as the seventeenth century, "The Moors were," according to the Oxford English Dictionary, "commonly" mostly black or very swarthy, and hence the word is often used for negro." Dr. Chancellor Williams stated that "The original Moors, like the original Egyptians, were Black Africans."
At the beginning of the eighth century Moorish soldiers crossed over from Africa into Spain, Portugal, and France, where their swift victories became the substance of legends. To the Christians of early Europe there was no question regarding the ethnicity of the Moors, and numerous sources support the view that the Moors were a black-skinned people. Morien, for example, is the adventure of a heroic Moorish knight supposed to have lived during the days of King Arthur. Morien is described as "all black: his head, his body, and his hands were all black." In the French epic known as the Song of Roland the Moors are described as "blacker than ink."
William Shakespeare used the word Moor as a synonym for African. Christopher Marlowe used African and Moor interchangeably. Arab writers further buttress the Black identity of the Moors. The powerful Moorish emperor Yusuf ben-Tachfin is described by an Arab chronicler as "a brown man with wooly hair."
Black soldiers, specifically identified as Moors, were actively recruited by Rome, and served in Britain, France, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Poland, and Romania. St. Maurice, patron saint of medieval Europe, was only one of many Black soldiers and officers under the employ of the Roman Empire.
At this present moment in time you cant play a black person in WAR, that`s not to say it wont happen in the future.

Go Charlemagne.
Anyways, I'm not sure if you can be 'black' in WAR -but- there's alot of customization options so I wouldn't say it's out of the question.
Though, they seem to want to stick to the lore as well...you might be able to be a black Warrior Priest but you're gonna be a bald black Warrior Priest (just an example).

A human and an Elf get captured by Skaven. The rat-men are getting ready to shoot the first hostage with Dwarf-made guns when he yells, "Earthquake!" The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"
Order of the White Border.

So I should assume that the game has not been demo'ed in any way. No one has had a chance to play it and give detailed interviews on it within the bounds of the NDA. I mean there hasn't been an article specifically written pertaining ONLY to the topic of character creation. Apparently NDA just means that nothing is ever written or recorded about the game until launch so any question about the game is ridiculous until that point in time. So maybe if I shared in such short sidedness in relation to the circulation of hype/ information about a game I too would deem the question ridiculous and any related posts that'd follow.
So now the question is pointless too? I thought the point of a question that required a yes or no answer would become undeniably transparent, but I guess I hoped for too much. If you missed it, the point of the question was to see if you could be black in WAR, to which I have been told is not possible.
Ladies! Ladies! Can't we sit down, have a cup of tea, and talk over this like civilized women?

A black warrior priest was actually what I was hoping to roll come launch.
