Actually the reasons Qunari horns were taken out is the same reason playable elves have itty bitty elf ears instead of the real thing; they didn't want to retrofit every piece of headgear in the game to accomodate one character's unique head model. The Qunari were conceived as a horned race but that was taken out to suit the game's budget. Now it is added back in. So there were more considerations than "coolness" at play.
Again, it would have been mentioned in the codex or by Sten. Even more, Gaider would have said that Qunari had Horns, and that Sten didnt have them because of headgear.
And that headgear stuff is Bull**** anyway, they would have done it like KOTOR where wookies werent able to wear headgear and belts because it wouldnt fit. Thats completely plausible, Sten would only be able to Equip the hat he came with. They made a unique headgear for the Qunari. If it had Horns, that one unique headgear would have holes or something.
Sten doesn't come with a hat. The "qunari hat" you are talking about uses the same model as a plain leather helm. It's "unique" in name, not its model. As for no mention of horns in the codex or the game, well, they took them out, it wouldn't make much sense to advertise a feature of the Qunari they didn't have the development time or budget to include. Now that they have some more money and the Qunari are playing a bigger role, they found a way to get horns back in and "retconned" it back into the lore as if it had always been there (which it had, really, until they took it out). Is this really that difficult to understand?
As for "they would have done it bla bla bla Wookies", well no they wouldn't have, because clearly they didn't, now, did they?
This is getting a bit circuitous and pointless to boot. You are right on one count; if Bioware feels like putting foppy Lestat vampires into Dragon Age, the lore will not stop them. However, given the number of vampire-like things in the lore already, as I said before, the lack of "proper" vampires seems quite deliberate. All I'm saying is, I wouldn't hold your breath.
