I agree. My favorite race would still be elf but I would love to be a qunari as well.

I don't see it happening this go around. Qunari first need to be more integrated into mainstream Thedas society and actually give a **** about what happens to anyone except themselves.

Sten says hi and what makes you think every Qunari has the same attitude or would care only for themselves?

Because that's what being Qunari means? It's a religion with a very strictly defined belief system.

The events that trigger the founding of the Inquisition occur at a peace summit between other groups in Thedas. The Qunari have no place there because they have no stake in that debate. They are just waiting for a prime opprotunity to invade.

When the stakes are world destruction and the expansion of possible tevinter power, the qunari aren't dumb enough to let politics stand in the way of preservation. They will send aid, as they did so with the blight. A dead thedas is not something they want, for converts do not rise from the dead.

They didn't send "aid", they sent a small squad to investigate and report back.

To be fair, the Arishok (and the other Qunari for that matter) had no idea what a Blight was, or if it was something worth worrying about. They arrived in Thedas about a century after the fourth Blight, after all.

Please be considerate towards people that may not have as much invested in the lore (since, frankly, that would also include me!).

Thanks.

I can't say I have any pressing desire to play as a Qunari but I wouldn't object to seeing them in the CC and if they were available I can see myself developing the urge to try one out. So yeah, I guess I'm pretty much in favour.

[AstraDrakkar]

I have no interest in playing a Qunari/Kossith.

It was slightly hinted that it was on there mind, but only confirmed the elf, dwarf and human options. I would snap a qunari option up right away if it was there. Im not sure what to be for DA3, in my main canon i was an elf in Origins, obviously human in 2, i dont really want to be a dwarf, but i also dont want to do the same race again.

Also, very sorry that people are being rude. The mods should step up and do their jobs. I thought these forums were for positive discussion -not trolling. {smilie}

That's nice of you, it does not bother me to much though... Water off a ducks back for me and i did post it without really looking for similar topics this forum has been really busy since the new info.

I'd like to play as one of the Kossith adherents of the Qun, and lead the Qunari against Thedas. Although it'd be really rather cool to have a decision to chose between a Qunari origin and a native of Thedas, be it Human, Dwarf or Elf and see the game from the opposing sides of a Qunari invasion, maybe next game. I think that's a lot to expect to have it in the current one.

[byarru]

You mean a kossith? Playing as a qunari inquiitor would be sth either impossible, or hilarious

[Angrywolves]

not interested in playing as one.

[Potato Cat]

Love the Qunari, the race, the philosophy, everything. I also think they're misunderstood and having a Qunari protagonist would help in this respect.

The species: yes
The culture: no, at least not full on and without options
How to explain why you're starting the Inquisition is the biggest hurdle and I can't think of how.

A tal vashoth starting it would be no weirder than a dwarf or an elf starting it.

You know it's weird, one of the reasons I preferfemale characters to males is because they are generally shorter than the male characters. I think Buffy drummed into me some sort of connection between strength and shortness since two of the most powerful characters in the show are as short as an ant with a gambling addiction.

[badboy64]

Not interesting in playing one.

It would suck to be forced to play as a Qunari, unless you are allowed to rebel against the Qun and become a Tal-Vashoth.
It would be best if we could be a Kossith.
The reason the Qunari don't use the term Kossith to describe themselves is because they don't want any of their followers to remember a time when they didn't have the Qun to blindly follow.
Kossith is the term for the tall, grey-skinned race. It is what they were called before the Qun ruined their society and tarnished their race.

Having to type both Qunari and Tal-Vashoth can get tedious at best, confusing at worst when you're just trying to talk about the flesh-and-blood race of horned giants. "I want to be a Qunari!" "It's a philosophy religion, so technically you can be any race within it." "No, I mean the tall, tan oxmen." "The Qunari would never do X because it's against the Qun, so you would have to be a Tal-Vashoth." "Fine, Tal-Vashoth, I just want to be..."

I wish the writers would give permission to just call them "kossith" when we're talking about the flesh-and-blood race, like dwarves, elves and humans.

When we want to talk about society and culture like Andrastians, Dalish, Chasind, etc. we'll call them Qunari and Tal-Vashoth. "I really hope we can be kossith, but I would prefer Tal-Vashoth since the Qunari are so strict..."

I, for one, am unafraid to use the term Kossith. I hate the Qun, but the Kossith people un-affiliated with the Qun are okay with me. 

[Ninja Mage]

A Qunari love interest would be nice

[kinderschlager]

oh, it's THAT topic again. *takes a drink*

For the most part I think people know when someone is using the term to refer to the race and when they're using it to refer to the philosophy; some people just like to be pedantic, to show how clever they are or something.

That said, it's hard to believe that nobody in Thedas, from laymen to scholars, has ever found the need to refer to the race specifically, aside from the culture; they must know the two entities are separate because "tal-vashoth" seems to be in relatively common usage to distinguish between Qun-followers and non Qun-followers. Never mind what the Qunari call themselves, I don't see why the human language(s?) whouldn't have a word for them by now; it has been 300 years after all, is "ox-men" really the best they've come up with?

[Thetford]

But how would a kossith/Quanari/Tal'Vashoph player character handle the sarcastic and humorous dialogue options?
