I still dont get it...First Title ORIGINS and then you want to change everything and its not a sequel or barely.


Well, it's not an origin story anymore.


It's still an origin story, just one without multiple starting points.


The Origin is not the focus, which was my point.

"For every copy of Dragon Age 2 that you don't buy, I'm going to buy seven."



Wow. Fanboys.

It's a joke, dude.

Why are you being so hostile?

 The "new" Qunari seem like they'll scream at me before snapping my spine in two and beating my squad to death with my corpse, all in about three seconds. Just getting a bit of a "crazed killing machine" vibe from them... sort of as if BioWare just cooked this up and though "this is badass" (which it is).


Really? Because to me they look like huge hulking dudes but with intelligent-looking faces. Like Beast from X-Men.


Bioware has to add glasses to the game, then we'll talk :D. To be honest I don't doubt their intelligence; I exaggerated a bit there... It's just that I'm surprised a philosophy like the Qun originated from a race of horned demon-people. Still, never judge a book by its cover and all that.

Well, they aren't "demon people," or at least there's no evidence that they are.

Animals with horns aren't demons, after all.Image IPB

When the first concept they release is Kratos with horns I feel at liberty to call them "demons".

Still, this could be interesting. Hope we can play as one in a later DA... though that's never going to happen.

I hate people who act like any aversion to changes being made is stupid or unwarranted. That signature stinks of it. And if you do buy multiple copies just because other people aren't buying a copy you would be a fanboy.

Well it's not that the Qunari aren't scary, it's just that they're scary in an Orwellian fashion and not so much in a bestial one.

That makes two of us. But have you seen the forums?

It would also make me extremely stupid.

...But it's also fair to point out that that isn't supported by anything in the lore.

I said the development team isn't always in complete agreement over everything and you tried to turn that into me implying the development team is constantly bickering and in a state of anarchy. You took a simple and logical statement and tried to turn it into a slight.

No, you misunderstood. I was pointing out that while development team can have occasional disagreement like you say, this is completely unlike the fans who never manage to agree on anything (which is also something you said yourself)

What i was getting at was, occasional disagreements in development team don't prevent them from doing their work especially when they have (generally one) boss to sort such disagreements in decisive manner. But trying to listen to their fans and treat them as" bosses", when these fans can't ever agree on the way things should be done... well, that's pretty much undoable. Even if they were insane enough to try it.

I could understand the look if it was a posessed Qunari or something.

That wouldn't make sense. Being possessed gives you horns? Is this like Red Bull?

The Sloth demon in the Circle tower looks like a mutated Templar.

Well, possession can give you a lot more than horns, just look at most abominations.



I don't see what's not to understand about it though. It's like asking why goats have horns. I dunno, because they do?

Because they needed something that throws people off cliffs in cartoons.

Qunari live in a caste system. Someone born to a warrior is agoing to be a warrior and so on and so forth..


You're thinking of dwarves

I'll stick with Mr. Gaider's explaination of the horned qunari.It makes sense:

You do know that humans come in different colors, right?

Mr.Gaider I was wondering if it's not too soon or too much of an spoiler could you please explain the difference between an horned and unhorned Qunari? is it something akin to genitics like maybe different races of qunari like the difference between an Caucasian person and an Asian person?

It may be genetic-- I'm hesitant to get into a discussion of genetics in fantasy races, but certainly the Talmassrans selectively breed qunari and from the nature of qunari society it might not be too far a stretch to suppose that they breed them to suit their roles more closely.
Hornless qunari are not rare freaks of nature-- simply uncommon. Most of the Ben-Hassrath are hornless, for instance, and thus your average qunari might be forgiven for thinking that a lack of horns is very intimidating.


We don't know a whole lot about the qunari.So to say "this is not how they are.." about the horned qunari after only seeing a handful of the ones in DA:O is jumping the gun.We've seen alot more humans,elves and dwarves than qunari and even then,
there might be variations amongst them in other parts of Thedas.I'm going to repeat what others have said; the Ogres are qunari darkspawn and they have horns.Do the horns just come along with being a darkspawn? No. Why? Because Hurlocks,Genlocks and Shrieks don't have them.This supports the idea that some qunari are born with them.Just because we haven't seen them yet doesn't mean they don't exist.
I like the fact that the qunari are a bit obscure.I like surprises.

You're reaching the average of the forum, don't go to bed. Embrace your crazy.

David Gaider, your responses really do come off as uncaring towards Origins fans. Yeah, you make the games and we just play them. But we're your bosses. I don't know if you're familiar with Gene Simmons'(of KISS fame) philosophy on his career and his fans, but he calls concert-goers and album-purchasers "the bosses." He knows that the fan base dictates whether or not he gets payed. And he's been massively successful, in part, because he understands this. You may see it as your world to change as you will, but we decide if you get to change it at all. With our wallets. Something to consider at least.


meh so far i like most of the changes, only the one race annoys me as i tend to play elves a lot in games,
and maybe the graphics are a little cartoony but i really dont care about a games graphics just the gaming

Why is everything white now? I'm not trying to be a grump about change but, I mean, the Darkspawn are light-ish, the Quinari are white. Did BioWare run out of ink?
