It could be similar to the Arishok in DA 2. He couldn't return home to par vollen/ seheron before he'd accomplished his task. The same could be for the whole qunari expedition, unless they finish their mission (probably converting all of thedas into the qun) they can't go home.


Or they could be religious/political/social/militaristic extremists who were outcast by the rest of their more enlightened society, instead of being killed. /tinfoilhat


I hope you're right, I really do. The kossith is what really shines in DA, and if we're able to roll kossith tal vasoth in DAIII or any other DA yet to be, I'll play the Sh*t out of it. However, I do believe, at least for the moment, that the qunari in par vollen are only a vanguard, a small fraction of the qunari society. If BW tellsus otherwise I'll gladly accept that (hell, I'd prefer it!) but until we know more I'll just assume the qunari is established much more firmly in the kossith homeland than it is in Thedas.

The Tevinter Imperium. It's my gut reaction and it tend to me reasonable to me most of the times.

I dislike both factions and don't want to have to choose either one. The only thing worse than having to choose one or the other would be a magical device that:
1) Kills all Qunari (and BTW also all dwarves)
2) Mind controls all Qunari, or
3) Fuses all Qunari and Tevinter mages, creating a new DNA that will ensure conflict will never arise between the two again.

If that comes up I'll refuse to choose, allowing Ferelden to be utterly obliterated.

Tevinter is constantly antagonised, Danarius, enslaving elves, etc. On the qunari's side we got Sten. So Qunari.

Other than the darkspawn who promise total annihilation the Qunari are the gravest threat to Thedas threatening to obliterate every culture be it Tevinter, Fereldan, Orlesian, Antivan or Dalish from the Thedas and replace it with their own culture of unyielding oppression. I'd fight for Tevinter to defend all of Thedas and stop the Qunari not to protect the magisters

I hate them and would kill them both if I could, but there is one main difference. If the Qunari won, they would just sweep aside the last remnants of Tevinter resistance and declare war on all Thedas. Tevinter would be stretched to the breaking point, and could easily be put to the sword later.

Well, i'd choose qunari, if i were to add one (or multiple) to my squad i would gain a massive powerhouse.
And i also hate mages and blood mages alike, so tevinter would be a smoking ruin after i'm done with it.

I respect the Qunari more then the Tevinter(at least with the little amount we actually know about modern day Tevinter), but I could never agree with the idea of the role decided to you by their leaders is the role you must stay. Organisms are not so simply put into classifications, and movement with-in a culture, imo, is needed otherwise you will always be fighting wars.

That would be tough, actually. I don't know.

That's actually a really tough question. Tevinter may externally capture and enslave other nations and peoples, but it's implied that internally they give them enough freedom to practice their own customs and cultures. (It took literally centuries to slowly widdle away the elves' history and heritage since Tevinter apparently didn't care how they spent their private time.)

The Qunari externally offer more social and economic equality, but internally they enslave people more thoroughly than any Tevinter magister could ever dream. Whether voluntarily or by force, they completely brainwash you into believing the Qun is everything and you must dedicate your entire existence to following its every demand to the letter, no matter how obscure or absurd, even at the expense of your friends, family, culture, history, tradition, and life!

DA2 touched on this dilemma very briefly and very well with the Kirkwall Alienage elves. Which do you choose? A life of poverty with your culture, or more opportunities with what's essentially a brain-washing cult?

If you think the OP poses a difficult question, you are a slave at heart. The qun tells you what you are. Then you spend you life obeying your masters. All of your energy, activity, and your very life itself is dedicated to the role chosen for you. If you side with the qun, you are a slave inside.

Now the Tevinter? If you possess the strength of will, develop the intelligence, and make the right friends you can be anything. With those things you can be more free than any other creature in known Thedas.

It's an easy choice to OP's great question. Tevinter's literally magical freedom or the qunari's religious leash? Tevinter all the way.

I feel like I don't have enough information about either group to choose a side at this point. We know a fair bit about the general culture and attitude of both groups, but really, I need more that what we've seen so far.

My hope is that the two sides can be reconciled and that the game will end with all of the Qunari marrying all of the Tevinters.

Either that or the writers provide us with a cracking good story. :innocent:

I would side with Tevinter. Better the devil I know than the one I don't. Besides, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and since Qunari are so beastly to all their mages, they are definitely not my friend.

Tevinter as far as ive seen would probably be chaotic but yes you'll have your ''freedom'' .As far as Qunari I see more validation to side with them i dont agree with everything but i share aspacts of there ideals.

If the Qunari could be convinced to coexist peacefully, then I'd be seriously tempted. The Qun is one of the most interesting pieces of DA lore. If not, then let them both burn in the fiery pits of Hell.

Sign a peace treaty between them and use them both to kill the rest of Thedas.

If a DA game will make me play as a Tevinter or a qunari, I'll have no problem with this.
As for siding with one of them in other games, I don't know. That's like asking me (if the PC is from southern Thedas) which side I want to conquer me. They are both far stronger than any Andrastian nations, and the one who'll win between them will try to conquer the rest of Thedas (and if it'll happen during or shortly after the mage-templar war, it'd be a disaster).
The rest of Thedas should thank the Maker, the Creators, the Old God, fate or luck that it's impossible for Tevinter and the Qunari to form an alliance. Otherwise southern Thedas would be pretty much screwed.

Neither. Both societies have horrific practices. If it came down to that in a game, it would be a game I won't play.
