As we know throughout Act 1 and 2 you encounter a fair amount of Tal'vashoth "Qunari", although by definition they can no longer be called this. They pretty much just attack you on sight and are basically just bandits/thugs. The one exception is the lone Qunari you encounter on the wounded coast who warns of the Tal'vashoth presence ahead but declines to actually help you fight them, saying he simply has no desire to join them.
What I wonder is this: presumably a Tal'vashoth just means a Qunari who doesn't follow the Qun, which would make them little different to the many outcasts that exist in human society - people who refused to be christians in medieval europe for example. As such there must be more to them than your sterotypical brigand waylaying anyone or anything it meets - I would quite like to see or have dealings with some non-murderous Tal'vashoth, possibly even a Tal'vashoth companion in the next Dragon Age game. There after all must be a reason they turned from the Qun, perhaps they felt it was unjust or too inflexible for certain unique situations. Possibly they think leashing and magically binding mages is inhumane (inqunmane?) just as certain humans/elves/dwarves hated the system of the Circle.
Either way, I think there is scope for development here.

I think that sounds good. There was a "Tal'Vashoth" in Awakenings who was selling equipment to the darkspawn and could be convinced to leave and set up shop at Vigil's Keep. I don't really remember any others though... They probably could have expanded on that theme, but they probably just ran out of time. I doubt they just didn't even consider it...
