Just took a look at the qunari pictures and... wow that style looks... hm... interesting. But the visual space between the races is a bit too big for my personal taste here.
Perhaps the point is that we should feel a bit uncomfortable around Qunari? In DAO it was hard to tell what was Sten individually and what was Qunari. While it makes sense that the Qunari would have chosen individuals whose appearance would blend best with the local population as scouts, my character's initial interactions with him would have been more fun had there been stronger visual clues that "Qunari" weren't just the "Vikings" of Thedas, but more fundamentally alien.
Anyway, I seem to recall a similar change in art style between BG and BG II. In that case characters we knew well were quite changed in appearance. I don't recall folks being so upset then, but perhaps I've just forgotten.
