Please, every romance so far has been humans and elves only. You think they're going to break the cycle?

To be fair, most of our companions have been humans and elves. We've had one dwarf per game, one kossith ever, and shale.

I would love to have a Kossith/Ox-man LI. Pretty please Bioware. I'll give you cookies.

I can see the attraction. The big muscled, stoic beasts who exude manliness. Honestly with my fem Hawke i felt you had the softly spoken Anders (sweet, but still) nutty Fenris and then the option to be a lesbian. You never had someone like that, i always wanted my hawke to get with the Arishok... He respected me, but thats all

I don't use the internet often so forgive me if this thread creeps me out.

BUT why not a female Qunari? Could look like the desire demon.

Gaider already said no to female Qunari, so a male one is just as unlikely.

Still don't see why you wont just admit why you really want it.

You want your PC to be with a big, musclebound guy. That's it.

All this stuff about "learning about their culture" can be done without them being a "LI".

So, fine. Here's only a fraction of the things I want to know about the
Kossith (ox men) and I'd like to learn some of them through an intimate
relationship, because in my opinion the LI's have closer relationships,
divulging more info.

Great post!

David Gaider was dismissive of the idea because he felt it was too fetishistic.

I think the community here has proved that there is legitimate interest in a Qunari LI, both male and female.

Whether the Dev's choose to acknowledge it or not is another matter.

Personally I hope they do.

Since this topic isn't really about Qunari as culture, but about the ox-men specifically, I'll ask this:

--clip--

David Gaider's use of the term "fetish" is aimed at people who want an ox-man romance solely because they're ox-men, which, I have to say, is a very, very weak reason to request this.

Sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation all weekend (for EVO) and missed this.

I'll try my best to tell you why I think a Qunari Romance would be the most interesting romance they could do at this point in the franchise and hopefully it wont be too long of a post.

Dragon Age doesn't do much to differentiate itself from other popular works of fantasy out there but the things it does do are what makes it interesting.

The Blight (AKA Sauron and the Army of Evil -- Orcs, Goblins, Trolls, Ogre's):

What's interesting about it in DA?

These creatures are actually corrupted versions of the "Good" races of the universe. (Uruk-Hai anyone?)

Hurlock = Human
Genlock = Dwarf
Shriek = Elf
Ogre = Qunari

The Majority of the interesting stuff is a by product of this.

The Grey Wardens
The Architect
The Broodmothers
The Taint

Dwarves (They live in the ground, have big beards, love gold, have little love for other races, are great smiths.)

What makes them interesting in DA?

Their opressive society and it's strict Class Structure.

Elves (These lithe beautiful creatures are the eldest race of the universe(s). They have a close bond with nature, and love themselves some archery.)

What makes them interesting in DA?

They have lost their heritage, forgotten their origins, and have basically become the second class citizens in human cities. (In some extreme cases, I would go so far as to call them slaves).

The Qunari and by extension the Qun are (as far as I know,  maybe someone can shed some light) 100% original.

The details of their Race and Culture is largely unexplored.

A Qunari (Tal-Vashoth would be better IMO) companion that is willing to discuss these things should be a DA fan's dream come true.

Doubly so if they are a romantic interest as it would give us a more intimate look inside their race/culture.

Anyways I've blathered on long enough. Hope I answered your question.

I don't see why a man with horns is any more fetishistic than an elf with donkey ears.

There was a thread asking for a female qunari love interest first. This thread is in response to it.

There's also a desire demon LI/companion thread buried in the mists. No one ever called us fetishistic.

So from the survey leak, what do you guys think of the Iron Bull? Does anyone have his description handy? I know it's likely 98% outdated at this point, but just for the fun of speculation.

Does he sound interesting to you guys as a potential LI? Personally, to me, something about him turns me off. Maybe it's the very un-Qun-like nature of his personality, his drunken ribaldry, etc. (Again, I'm trying to remember the description but don't have it with me.) I would be more interested in a romance involving a stoic qunari guy like Sten or Maraas. BUT of course I wouldn't say no to Mr. Bull

I love the idea of a tal-vashoth companion. As for drunken and bawdey... are we talking like oghren or isabella?

Something tells me he'll be a but darker than both Oghren and Isabela.  More Canderous/Hanharr than Atton

In the Qun their 'family structure' is different. They do not choose their partners nor marry. The father's participation is finished at conception. The mother's participation ends when she gives birth. The Tamassrans (a female gender role), control the Qunari selective breeding program, raise all the children and officially assign their roles. The parents do not see their children nor have any input in how they are raised, they also do not know who they are related to. A Qunari's family is his or her peers called brothers and sisters.

This information came from Dragon Age: The Book Of Thedas.

I'd like to see how a Kossith Inquisitor will approach the target of their affections. That ought to be a larf and a half!
