Shall dwarves have tentacles and elves have facial genitalia and a thorax? You know, so you can seperate them as a species.


Actually, that'd be really cool in a bizzaro world kind of way.Image IPB

I don't like the new look. That new Qunari looks like a mini-ogre or something.

With that said, it kind of complements the lore because ogres come from Qunari broodmothers.


I like the new look. They look like mini-ogres, except hotter, civilized, and baddass.

It does go with the lore.

I think it's funny that the elves have the reputation of being extremely attractive to humans yet we're all drooling over the Qunari instead. I wonder what that says about us. We like to pursue the unattainable? We have a horn fetish? We enjoy strong, muscular physiques? We're all touched in the head? <--this might be true anyway

None of the above. The reason is thus: we're on the internet.

I will suck the blood from your brains while sparkling and moping. Don't try to escape. I'll send an Army of the Dead after you.

How would you be able to send an army of the dead after me if you're moping? The attack command would sound completely disorted with all the sobs and tears.

When I saw the new design, something in me sighed with relief. In Origins, if you paid attention during the Brood Mother section, it was explained that beings from all races could be changed into Brood Mothers. The original race of the Brood Mother determined what type of monster it's "brood" of darkspawn would be. Dwarves spawned genlocks, humans spawned hurlocks, qunari spawned ogres. I always wondered why the other races looked basically like demonic versions of their normal counterparts but ogres gained all these freakish hornes out of nowhere. I think this is an improvement to continuity.



inb4 this was posted already. i don't have time to look thru 50+ pages to see if someone said this already :)

so they decided that the best way they could make the qunari cooler... was to completely redesign them. I say that calls for continuity issues. Unless theyve evolved... but blimey that was some quick evolving. I can't see the horns working personally. They could only work if sten had horns and... oh... he doesnt -.-

It has also been stated (by Mary Kirby) that the Qunari breed for excellence, and that they don't descriminate against other races (humans, dwarves, elves) or ability (mages) so long as they follow the Qun (said by Sten in DA, I believe). 

So by that logic, it actually makes quite a bit of sense that some Qunari would be born without horns.  Consider it a genetic fluke based upon bloodlines that are not 100% 'Qunari' due to the mixed breeding with other races.  In Qunari society, you're born to perform a function, not to grow horns =/  so I'm sure a Qunari/elf or Qunari/human mix would be ideal for certian jobs.  Sten could genetically be 'part' Qunari, but consider himself full Qunari because he follows the Qun, and Qunari offspring are, in a sense, raised by the community, not the parents.

Besides that, the horns don't have nerve endings (once again, stated by Mary Kirby) so if they're chipped/broken in a fight, or if the Qunari simply abandon the Qun, it's likely common practive to cut them off and be done with them.  They're not a status symbol.

Sten not possessing horns is hardly an unbelievable loophole for the change in concept design.

Yeah, "proper" is always the ipso facto original.

I hate "proper" as in "originally". Stories changes. They're told through word-of-mouth, they're centuries old, and they adapt. Just because we can find the oldest version doesn't make it the most accurate. When I think vampires, I think Dracula. I don't care what the "oldest" version is. Hmph.
