 I know we'll probably won't be able to romance a member of the Kossith race in DA3, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened before in the lore. Even maybe regarding famous warriors/personalities in history.

Have this, Bioware writers, happened in the past? Qunari-human? Tal Vashoth-human? or even better: Qunari-human mage?


And in case of breeding, is it even achivable? How does the newborn look like?

P.S. I have not mentioned the possibility of Qunari-Dwarf romance for obvious reasons. But maybe it sounds as ridiculous as a qunari human couple in the ears of the writers.

You people always want to "romance" everything in sight.

Of course it's possible, provided the Qunari is human or elven. Not sure about dwarves, afaik there haven't been any factual human/dwarf offspring depicted in the games/novels.


Same goes for Kossith.







See what I did there?



edit://
I can't believe I am the only one who did what I did. What has become of the DA community? They don't even know their lore to exploit it for nitpicking. Shame on you! Vashedan!

You share 99.9% of your DNA with chimpanzees

can you have kids with a chimpanzee?

You forget that we're talking about a fantasy game, humans in said universe seem to be able to breed with other humanoid races like elves and dwarves, so why not with another humanoid race like the Qunari?

Why does everybody keep using the word breeding?

They're people (fantasy people, but still), not livestock.

I'd be interested in an answer as well.
Mostly because I want to know if there was ever a Qunari/Kossith/whatever we're calling them now who told the others to suck it and went off to break tradition completely and settled down with a human/elf/dwarf.

@Cthulhu42: And yet the point remains the same.

I think it's FAR more interesting if these races can't reproduce with one another.

Two sapient species - who cannot reproduce with one another - would not be able to coexist.

Qunari are followers of the Qun. It's a religious title. The actual race of those bronze skinned giants with horns which are colloquially refered to as "Qunari" are the Kossith.

You've got it all wrong! It is not about creating an interesting universe, it's about creating an exotic digital harem under the guise of a fantasy RPG.

I don't care much about his point; I just have a pet peeve about inaccuracies being presented as fact.

Regardless, without us knowing anything about the DNA similarity between the races in Thedas, I don't see how you can use DNA as an argument either way.

But didn't Gaider say that 'Kossith' is the wrong term?

@Cthulhu42: That's nice. You're the one off topic. You could have corrected him in a PM - but you just "had" to share with everyone.

As a note - your use of the semicolon is sloppy. You not caring about his point - and your pet peeve are only marginally related at best. We all have pet peeves.

@Volus Warlord: Well then, mea culpa.

Sex harems! SEX HAREMS FOR EVERYONE!

@Xilizhra: Yes, I have. I just believe that it's pure fantasy.

I do not believe that if/when we encounter another sapient species that they will form a "Federation" and share the galaxies natural resources.

The end result is inevitable. Conflict between two (or more) invasive species.

Pure fantasy, yes. Which is... totally what Dragon Age isn't?

In any case, your pessimism is both unhelpful and unnecessary. If conflict is inevitable, humanity will gear up for war no matter what and your alarmism would accomplish nothing; if it's not, all you're doing is making it more likely.

The Qunari don't cross breed species. That's an abomination and corrupts the genetic pool, anathema to the teachings of the Qun. Retaining purity of the blood is central to civilised society.

Indeed. Who in the right mind would want to distort their bloodline with beings of such weakness like elves? All of your strength would be null due to the elf way of incompetance and whining.

From what few interactions we've seen, a human and an elf pairing results in a human(Feynriel, Cousland bastard), and a dwarf and human or dwarf and elf pairing results in a dwarf (Sandal is speculated to be the son of only one dwarven parent, with his other parent being either human or elven).



If I had to guess, I'd say that a Kossith and pairing of any other race would result in a Kossith offspring, though the only place I could imagine one being born was if a Kossith was captured as a slave by the Tevinter and then raped.

There are several reasons where that happening in any way that might lead to breeding is extraordinarily unlikely (female qunari don't enter combat and are unlikely to be captured, any magistrix who habitually rapes male prisoners is probably going to use protection). However, it may well happen the other way around.

Using protection? It's a fantasy setting! Are we Fable now?
