Qunari is a different humanoid species not a human race so its more then o.k. for them to look differently. In Origins elves, dwarfs and qunari all of them, looked like humans with the minor mutations.

this so much! I never noticed that Qunari are supposed to be another race until I read it here on the forum. And even then I had my doubts and reasearched for it.

Since when does changing the visual appearance have anything to do with the writing?

That is still a mysterie to all of us..

I think the devs said that a lot of people had that reaction, which was one of the main reasons for the redesign. A lot of players just thought Sten was just a tall, dark-skinned human.

Its little things like horns on top of the Qunari that make me go, god no. I mean don't get me wrong I want to like DA2 but Ive already been burned by many games already like civ V and black ops. Ill just have to wait and see.

Maybe people like crap writing but I sure as hell don't . Yeah stars wars 1,2,3 make a ton of money but no one n in their right mind except of 5 yrs old and retarded people like it.

Funny. I'm biologically retarded and I hated those films.

By the way, you still have not cleared up how you were involved at all in the making of Dragon Age.

Jeez, Cobrawar, fix the damn thread title already.

DAO was mainly about the Blight and its effects of that upon the enivronment around it, in other words Ferelden, and it was stated in the lore in DAO that the Qunari didn't really get as far down Thedas as Ferelden, which is why there arn't many of them there and why they don't really take up a lot of the central plot, heck even the Dwarves and Elves take more of a centre stage in the DAO plot line then the Qunari did.

DA2 (seems to be) about Kirkwall and those trying to take power, like Flemeth/mages, the Chantry and the Qunari, so randomly sticking in a bit of DLC into DAO that deals with the Qunari when DA2 could do that on a better and clearer level makes no sense.

And on a minor note, I fail to see how a change in the art direction has anything to do with the writing abilties of Gaider and his team.

Why fix it? Perhaps because things can always improve. Perhaps it's because BioWare wanted the Qunari to have a larger role in in DA2 and thus changed their apearance to make them more visually striking. Perhaps it's because Dragon Age was a good game, but it didn't sell like ME2 and that is why you're getting all the changes to make it more similiar to that game.

Perhaps we shall never know.

Well I would like to think I am more of a 5 year old then!



As to the sourse of mythology, dinosaurs bones thought to be dragons, whales - seasurpents. There is nothing truly original in fantasy anymore just adaptations of what's gone before!



Ps the quanari look awesome, not seen a kunari - maybe they are rubbish I don't know!

[Menicus_ndm]

Firstly, YOU be more serious.Learn to write,spell, and basic grammar rules, and why trolling is bad.



Secondly, who died and made you prince of races lore in general eh?who?

He mentioned that the Fex exist.  They won't be appearing in DA2.

Ah, that old chestnut.

Go check out the box office for 1999. Well, any year really, but that one gets to the nub of this glorious fallacy.

Sales are only a metric of sales. DA:O was "broke", the qunari were supposed to be a whole new species, but in Origins they were essentially tall guys with a skin condition, the model, like all of the body models was clearly a compromise. You won't get many posts about the sudden lack of gorilla arms being horribly inconsistent. It's one they don't have to make this time around, and whadda ta know, they look like a whole new race.

first off, you do realize if a movie makes a ton of money, its not being enjoyed by exclusively '5 year old retards' it means that a lot of people liked it.
back on topic, what exactly about changing the appearance of the qunari changes the writing? they are still the same culture wise, but their appearance isn't. your argument could only be valid to those 5 year olds you are talking about, think before you speak.

I love how Bioware do these things.

Dinosaur David: I already told you guys about the AWESOME SUPER SPECIAL INCREDIBLE CHOCOLATE AND CHANTILLY race that we develop, the Dhiros? Aren't they super COOL and AMAZING?
Upsettingshorts: *appears with his sailor clothes and licking candy cane* Yes mister Gaider, when we'll see the Dhiros?
Dinosaur David: NEVER.

[Cobrawar]

So basically you are telling me the Qunari don't have Horns in origins was because of some designer's Incompetence ?

I like that they've clearly thought about the world beyond what we see in the games.  I mean, if you ever actually look at the map of Dragon Age's world (at least, that continent), there are sooo many places we know almost nothing about.

I've been dying to know this;  where does the term "Dinosaur David" come from?  I've been seeing it around here for a while now.
