But knowing Varric he'll at least have good control of his rudder.

My only question: Just how big is the Arishok's... rack?

Big enough to satisfy the demand of the Qun.

Sorry, couldn't resist

*applauds* Well done Tobi

I aim to please.

I'll just bet you do!  But is your...rack...as satisfactory to the Qun as the Arishok's?

Maybe.... you be the judge!

He greatly exaggarates the size of her Boat.

As to shirtless Fenris -- hah, everyone keeps their shirts on as opposed to Origins! Damn! Now why is that?

But the real question is of course... is Varric really the Paragon of Manliness?

17. Assuming there's a concept of "Transgender" in that world, how do they fair in society?

There were a couple of trannies working in The Pearl & The Blooming Rose. I believe they were the "surprise me" specials. They seem to fairly open about same sex relationships so you never know.

Ignoring the offensive term you used, I know about that. Having a transgendered prostitute really doesn't explain how they're treated in the society at large. I took that as people making a joke about an already maarginalised group.

I saw it as a commentary on the state of sexuality in Kirkwall: anything goes.

Perhaps the writers used 'dreadnought' because it sounds scarier than just ship? I imagine Qunari ships have horns on the prow rather than a naked lady. They have cannon, yes? Spewing fire and smoke at their enemies.

Those little wooden boats we see at the docks are very, matchbox, looking. Although, the Endeavour was only 32 metres long. I'm not sure you could fit 200 Qunari in that - have to stack them sideways.

Eh, that was a little stream of consciousness. I am curious to see a Qunari ship though - one day perhaps....

The ships of Thedas seem to be similar to the ones from the 18th century. The description of the ship Allure gave in the fade for Isabela's ideal ship was a two-masted Brigantine, with a crew of a hundred men. They were about 70-80 feet long and weighed 100-150 tons or so.

A Qunari dreadnought would probably be sufficient to carry the Qunari forces that I remember being mentioned at some point. Something makes me want to say that there were ~400 Qunari shipwrecked, but I have no recollection for the source of it. Still, there are clearly ships that are capable of being manned by 100+ people, so having 200+ isn't unfeasible.

How old is Fenris? He looks young but the white hair makes him look old although the way his hair is styled makes him look like a teenager.

Are you writing the Dragon Age franchise's story as you go or do you have them all written down somewhere in invisible ink?

Why are there so many sunken ships in Kirkwall's harbor?

It's for the murlocks.

I think you mean hurlocks. 

[Oneiropolos]

Another question that you guys reminded me of:
What happened to the TYPES of Darkspawn? Now it seems there's only human-type and Qunari-type (ogres). Did the genlocks and Shrieks somehow die out? They're all amassed in the Deep Roads, but we never see those types there. Was it just an art limitation thing with the new Hurlocks?

Birds are made of pure concentrated awesome, of course.

I'm almost surprised there weren't any demon prostitutes, I mean there was a blood mage...

Aaaaaughibbrgubugbugrguburgle!!

If I could ask anything I'd be curious to know which of the writers is the funniest in the office, just to see if it comes through in their writing.

Edit: Oh and what was the gift Morrigan gave the warden at the end of Witch Hunt? I refuse to believe it was the robes that you can only use retroactively but I can't think of anything else.

The same thing that happened to female dwarfs, fat humans and shirtless Fenris, I suspect.

Leaving aside the, 'not enough development time' argument, I wondered if it had something to do with the population around the Free Marches being mostly human?

Although, thinking that through it might not work compared to Origins...oh well.

I do miss Genlocks - those necromancers were too cute *pinches a Genlock's cheek*

[zeejay21]

Yeah, I've got a curious question:

Um, I want to know why there's only one dwarf in the Blooming Rose and it's a male? The lack of females in there makes me feel that it needs a new management,

[Aggie Punbot]

- Are blood mage females more powerful during that time of the month or less so? Or is there any difference at all?
- Does Justice consider Spirit Healers to be abominations?

Can darkspawn build ships? What do they look like?

They'd be pretty pointless when they can just use the Deep Roads, I'd have thought.

Though I suppose I'm only assuming the Deep Roads go under the sea.
