"No Dragonborn Guardian" has nothing to do with lore
I don't know if Larian changed the story last minute or what, but there is no explanation in the story for why you can't choose a Dragonborn Guardian.

It has nothing to do with Emperor's backstory.

He clearly says that He took on a form that would "please you".

Bump.

Frankly I'm shocked no one else has mentioned this.

Also Dragonborn isnt available at all with some of the classses in general. Now to be fair, I don't know if thats a DnD thing or lore thing, but yeah. Very odd

Probably because Dragonborn was added at the end of development and required a completely diffferent VA. They probably didnt have enough time to voice Guardian too. Also there is matter of rigging animations for dragonborn guardian that would've took some time too.

There is no voice option unique to Dragonborn. I think they just ran out of time and didn't bother.

I apologize, maybe it was a little buggy for me. But at first when I tried to play Dragonborn as a warlock it just didnt come up as an option at all. So I went with a Dragonborn cleric. IT might have fixed itself on my end at this point, but thats the hand I was dealt sadly. But like I said, probably just a weird bug! Sorry!

oh. Just checked :D For some reason i thought Dragonborn had its own voice. Probably because of that Durge intro.

No you make a good point though, I think my problem was just a bug, but other Dragonborn NPC's I talked to in game did have different voices at least!

atm it seems the only explanation is they are "too young" in the realm to be them.
Also fafner is gone too

maybe they are just bullies to dragonborn

This is the lie I am refuting in OP. It has nothing to do with his backstory. You don't see his original form.

Actually, let me clarify. You do see his original form, but his face is hidden. Regardless, when customizing your Guardian, it is not his original form you are creating.

-With the fact that there is no "Dragonborn Guardian".
-With the fact that you see very little to no Dragonborn in Act 1++2.
-The character options for Dragonborn, have no scars, the horns and *hairstyles* are very few and cannot be selected separately, generally a few options.
=The Dragonborn must have *finished* very late at Larian's.

Even if Larian did a good job with the Dragonborn, I hope that Larian will update the "Guardian" and the "Character Options" himself, it's a shame.
