Hmm before I choose what I want to play I need a good look at the character creator and what options / facial presets each race has.

Be ruthless. Show no mercy, except when mercy furthers your goals. The one thing that I've observed of qunari is that they don't really cotton to any concept of charity or sympathy. The qunari are inclined to look after their converts, but the unenlightened bas are all the same.

Respect might. The qunari choose their military commanders through trials of combat. Sten's respect for you grew after you kicked his ass at Haven.

Be brutally honest. Lies are the weapons of humans and elves.

You miss understand the Qun.

It's not about being ruthless and showing no mercy, it's about getting to the goal. The thing with the qun is that indivisuality has no perpose. A person is just a part of a greater body.
 What does it matter if a few cells die if the body lives. Added , the Qun believes that there is more then one way to get to an end. Look at the heart of the meny and you'll see that.
Sure, the milatary qunari respect strenght but they also repect knowlege, order, and self control.
The qunari are not a blunt weapon but a scaple.

When has a qunari ever lied? They withhold information. That's not the same thing, at least to a qunari.


Exactly, according to the Qunari.  They can lie their faces off, mislead at every turn and because they do it they fall back on 'technicalites' such as 'we just didn't inform them that our bombs held a neuro toxin that could kill hundreds' all the while berating others for their lies and deceit.

Wait, wait, follow up question:

If I'm an unrestrained qunari mage, I'd be "Bas Saarebas" then...yes?

No, a bas Saarebas is a mage that is not and never was qunari.

Ahhhhh I get it. "Unrestrained" as in not restrained by the Qun.

I think I might name her Meraad.

Isn't bas Saarebas like all those rivers that are just named after a foreign word for river? You're basically saying a thing that is a dangerous thing.

I'm hoping for a Qunari that was born outside of the Qun, otherwise I would severely have to limit myself RP wise, I think. Even Tal'Vashoth accept their status as a role, they're not truly free, right? And I don't really see any words on the Qunlat entry in the wiki that really appeal to me as names.

I'll most likely give my Qunari PCs Turkish names, since the Qunari seem to be somewhat modeled after the Ottman Empire.

Even if we'll be a deservter of the Qun, the PC's physical appearance will be enough to link them back to that life, giving themselves a name in the Qunari language just seems like another link they wouldn't really want, imo (especially since they have power over that particular decision).

Bas means"Thing". It is give to people who are not qun or never was.
Saarebas means "dangerous thing". It give to mages because magic can't be controled.

I used to name my Warden "Death". Also I made a Death Hawke. Maybe to pay homage to the tradition, I could name my fem qunari "Kata" - aka "death, the end". Fits with the theme of the whole game too. B)

I'm not very familiar with qunari culture, but I seriously doubt the qunari pc will be a member of the qun or a tal vashoth. It would have to be an orphan regardless of class, allowing the player to play the way they want to

Why are you asking for advice on roleplaying in a game that has yet to be released?

I think the word "hypothetical" answers this question.  

Edit: Also, I'm just excited about the game. These forums were designed for the proverbial "geeking out"...

Although I doubt the PC will have ever been a part of the Qun, this makes me think that, hypotheticaly, a Tal-Vashoth would use words of the common language to name her/himself the way the Qunari use theirs. Due to her/his culture it would be more meaningful to call her/himsel Mercenary, Merchant or, hypotheticaly, Inquisitor. It would also be a way of rebeling against the Qun to reject the term Tal-Vashoth.

 I assume the Kassith character will be born into the Tal Vasshoth.

If it doesn't fit the Inquisitor for whatever reason, there is always the possibility of using it for a short fanfiction or something.

Just a suggestion.
