The question is what happens when a dwarf, and a human have a child. What does half-dwarf look like?

Short human or tall dwarf. A bit more bulk than a human. It is simply a mix.

A mix we have never seen nor has it been mentioned in the game. I imagine a half-dwarf would have its own character model. It would probably look like a stocky elf minus the pointy ears.

That also brings up the question of what happens when Qunari mix with dwarves or humans.

I'm sure this has been speculated a bunch of times, but it has never really been given an answer. Ah well.

[The Angry One]

The Qun wouldn't allow it, I imagine.
As for Tal-Vashoth, would they engage in a relationship with bas?

[Maria Caliban]

Kossith can't have children with dwarves. No one knows what a mixing with humans would produce.

It probably hurts.

But I think the Qunari wouldn't be to happy if a Qunari would interbreed with converts.

I must have missed that. So it goes: Anything+Elf=The other species, Dwarf+Human=Yet to be revealed, Qunari/Kossith/+Human=Yet to be revealed.

So we still have two mixes that need to be revealed, and the Fex, the sentient species that lives on Par Vollen, still needs to be revealed. None of these three have been shown in a game.

I doubt we'll see any Fex until the Qunari invade Theds again in full on war. Which will probably be soon considering the Qunari broke their treaty when the attacked Kirkwall, and Thedas is perfect for an attack since everything is on edge due to mages V. templar. Perfect time for the Qunari to invade beyond Tevinter.

Didn't Morrigan try getting with Sten in DA:O?
It sounds like the Qunari mating process would tear a human in half

He sounded like he was just trying to get Morrigan off his back. Qunari are big compared to humans, but so are humans compared to elves.

They are mamals so I'm pretty sure they're mating process is the same as everyone elses. Penis+Vagina.

[Maria Caliban]

Yes.

As I understand it, a dwarf and human would produce a half-dwarf but because of low fertility rates and the problems with an interracial pairing, such a creature would be incredibly rare. (Maybe Sandel is a half-dwarf?)

No one knows in-setting if a qunari could have a child with a human. I believe David mentioned the average human can't even picture a qunari having sex.

However, a qunari cannot have a child with a dwarf. Not that any have tried, but if they did, it would fail.

Yea I think that was Sten trying to be diplomatic and avoid saying "It is beneath us to consort with bas women and have them pollute our gene pool."

He was bull****ting her to get her to leave him alone (and it worked).  Devs confirmed this.

It worked? Wasn't she even more interested after he mentioned the hot iron and stuff? 
Maybe i just forgot the last part of the conversation because I was just freaking out from the pictures in my head.

[The Angry One]

Nope Morrigan ends it with "forget I said anything." or something like that.
Sten in DA:O appears stoic and serious, but he is very sarcastic, e.g. "the elves are a lithe pointy eared people who excel at poverty"

Well, now, actually, this makes me think of something. It seems like most other races refer to any follower or ex-follower of the Qun as qunari and any other species that converts as just a convert; but within themselves, they are qunari or Tal-Vashoth (or convert?). So qunari in the eyes of the Qun probably cannot mate with Tal-Vashoth or other species (Remember, they don't (in theory, anyway) have sex when they get hot and bothered, they have sex when they're told to mate (I wonder if there's a ritual for that or if they just lock them in a room and tell them to knock when they're done)).

So what about converts?

I guess what I'm asking is has there ever been an instance where they would attempt to breed native qunari and converts for a mixed breed for whatever purpose the Qun needs fulfilled? If so, what were the results, if any? Were the results sterile, if any? If not, is it because they know it doesn't work, or because the Qun forbids it?

Given how many soldiers the Arishok loses to the life of Tal-Vashoth, I wonder if any would try to mate with other races now... especially given that there probably aren't many female Tal-Vashoth, since females don't get to leave.

I don't see any pointy ears on him:

Look at him closely in-game; they're there.  They don't stick out like normal elves' ears, but they're squared at the tips instead of round.  It shocked me when I saw it because I, like everyone else, thought it was a rule in the DA universe that the children of an elf/human pairing would always be human.  And I thought "be human" meant "look entirely human."

I'm just guessing here, but given their selective breeding programs I'd assume that the races are all bred seperately, no cross-breeding permitted.
Clarification on this would be nice though.

Really? Females don't get to leave? Can someone link to info?

There is a codex entry in DA:O where it's mentioned that Qunari females are rarely if ever seen outside their territory.
This isn't surprising, since the only time any Qunari usually leave their homeland is for a military expedition and the soldiers are all men.
That doesn't make it impossible that some women would leave on their own and be Tal-Vashoth though.

Brother Genitivi alledgedly met one during his travels. So I assume they exist.

Oh, ok.  I thought I could join the Qun and if I don't like it I could always go Tal-Vashoth.  So plan still works, yay.

Sten talked about women having different roles than men in Qunari culture. Basically men are only good for fighting/ambasadors like Sten, and women are only good for thinking jobs/raising children.

I wouldn't say they consider women inferior. Qunari believe everyone has a purpose which they must stick to. Men travel, because they must in order to fight. Women don't need to travel, because they work at home, and with resources. Everyone accepts their place. A true Qunari woman probably wouldn't want to leave home, because she would feel she has no place outside her home.

A Tal Vashoth female would be different. She is Tal Vashoth, because doesn't agree with Qunari ways so I imagine a woman who travels is automatically Tal Vashoth.

[The Angry One]

Which makes me wonder... if you are bas and convert to the Qun, then for whatever reason leave it, are you Tal-Vashoth or are you bas again?

Its always a human baby, according to fiona

No, she's aying is the elves will alway see the baby as human. Kinda like If a Black man and a white woman has a child, people still look to the child as being black. Or people calling light shink african desedent people, african or black.
