Realy? I heard that when someone play as a Mage you can get in a disccusion about magic with Sten.

He will tell you about his views of magic and when you ask about how he feels about you bieng a mage, he says something along the lines of: 'You are diffrent' or 'You are special'.

Yes, but he says that about female warriors too. The warden is, as Mary Kirby put it, something akin to an unicorn to Sten.

My guess is what the Qunari did in the trailer is purely for cinematics, just like wielding to full sized weapons and being a warrior (not possible in DA2).

Yes, probably.

I will point out that, in the GT cut, they mentioned the markings have to do with rank. Those two qunari (although the concept one shares chest markings) don't have the same markings.

Technically, he's using the swordstaff, which might be a mage's weapon. That he kicks that much ass with it is unreasonable, but he's not doing anything impossible.

In any case, if he's a mage handler, it makes sense he can nullify magic.

y'know.......with the way Qunari handle their mages ( cut off their tongues and leashing them )........I'm hoping that my apostate mage Lady Hawke will have something to say about that in the game..........

likewise.........I'm hoping that whatever Qunari we meet in DA2 will have something to say about ( and to ) my mage Lady Hawke..........

yes, I want conflict...........

It would be interesting to see what Qunari will do when faced with Mage Hawke or Bethany.
I mean Sten told your Mage Warden that he was the only one of his kind (someone whit honor, not some defect tool like most mages) I wonder if Beth and Hawke will be seen the same way. But it will probably start out hostile.

Also, when you save Kirkwall, do you think you can side with anyone?
My guess is that you can choose to support either Templars, Qunari or suport someone else who ends up becoming Viscount.

[warden nino]

I am thinkin that Qunari have diffrent perspective on how magic is supouse to be used then Freledan natives.That's why mages are treated litle more less then animals.It would be kinda like Ash warior and mabari.Bassicly Qunari handler orders the specific spell and mage casts it.Mages simply aren't allowed to cast on free will.

[warden nino]

On saving KirkWall I am wild guessing that Hawke's first enemies will be Qunari,since Sten said they will invade Ferelden in time,but Darkspawn probably pop out and mess up their plans.Most likely an uneasy alliance at best...just wild quessing tho

[elfdwarf]

watch your tongue

ferelden mage don't abuse magic, it blood mage,Tevinter mage, Orlesian mage,apostate

look at logain, he abuse his power.

I would think the qunari ability in the trailer is more akin to a templar skillset and not a mage's. After the circle mages ravaged their armies during the exalted marches you would think the qunari would look into magic dispelling abilities and train warriors that can dispel magic.

Why does everyone think that they stole their abilities from the chantry, because of Thedian mages? They couldn't come up with anything of their own?

The fact that they are as harsh against mages as they are indicate that mages did something throughout the course of Qunari history.

No you misunderstand me; I agree with what you are saying.  The qunari probably trained their own warriors to dispel magic; their technology suggests they would take this route instead of a magical one.  I simply think that they looked into these means after the war with the chantry and circle mages; the lore makes a point in saying that the circle mages were the turning point in the war and they wouldn't have had such success if the qunari warriors could dispel every magic thrown at them.  Not every magic dispelling warrior has to come from the chantry or be called "templar" we agree on that.

[Herr Uhl]

It was rather that their mages were better than the Qunari ones. Both armies had people that could dispel magic, so the quality of the magic would make a difference non the less.

Granted, I think that they have less mage-handlers than the chantry has templars due to that the Qunari way of mage-handling requires less resources.

The Qunari abilitys to dispell magic probably isn't as powerfull as that of the Templars. Since I doubt they teach their mages.

And I doubt that a Qunari would want to drink Lyrium, which is associated with magic, to enhance their powers. If it enhances the powers that is.

[warden nino]

Nope lyrium only work for mages,lyrium on other person works in two-ways:1>end up touched in head like Garrin;2>or u end up like Templar in front of Denrim Cathedral or Immnric.On Templars it works like an addictive,that makes them more dependent of Chantry wich controls lyrium trade.And by the way ElfDwaf I was talkin how Qunari treat mages not Fereldans.Sten Himself says:"We don't have mages as you do ..We have animals that do magic tricks.."and then u can carefully poke him for more answers

So the markings probably stand for mage handler, well that does explain his templar like abbileties

Apparently the red markings are military ranks.

[warden nino]

Qunari themselves have aversion toward magic for simple reason.When they invaded Par Vollen and Saheron Tevinter retaliated.And how rules Tevinter:mages.Also from pics that are posted maybe,wild guessing here,masks and torques have a magic damp properties so they could probably employ the same tech on their more mundane weapons.Just a taught...

So from what I heard Qunari Mages get their tongues cut out after they use forbidden magic or are possesed by demons,not before.So some might still speak . Or I understood it wrong. I got it from this thread:http://social.biowar...84&lf=8#4398334
And this: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Qunari

And a mage handler is called a arvaarad. Wich is probably where the markings stand for. And since Qunari call each other by rank instead of name, Arvaarad is their name as well.

Do arvaarad also leash mage's from other cultures? They see mage's as deffective tools, but they still have their usefullness in some way.

Do you think the reason the arvaarad  attacks the Viscount is because his mages where killed?
I mean, they are considerd deffective tools but they where still his responsibility, and Qunari take their responsibilitys quite seriously.

And no ones interested...

Crap...

[Risax]

Can people who join the Qun become a arvaarad?

Also, Hornless Qunari are meant for greatness, at least thats what some of the devs say.
So... What happens when a Hornless Qunari is a mage? Will he be treated as a dog like the rest? Or will he be treated differently?

It is a sign of it, not a guarantee. They'd get the same treatment.

If you have a very pretty dog, or a very smart one, do you dress it like a human and take it to college?  No.  Maybe you let it sit on the couch, but that's about it.



Edit:  Sigh, I posted in an undead thread.

I'm planning to put up most of the info on the front page, which isn't much...



So if anyone has any new info please post it here!
