Not me.
Maybe after several playthroughs I'll give it a try as a change of pace but not at the start.

I was under the impression that it was an ethnoreligious term, that it was both their belief system and racial name.

Yes, as in a Jew who doesn't follow Judaism. The word has different meanings depending on the context, hence "qunari who doesn't follow the Qun" is valid, if potentially ambiguous or confusing. Since they choose not to ascribe a name to their own race beyond "qunari" presumably for religious reasons, that seems to be the only proper term to use, even if it requires clarification every other time it is used. As we can understand if we understand why "Mohammedan" is not a proper term for Muslims...

Funny that the Qunari don't even have names for individuals...wonder how they deal with it daily.

Qunari: Go find Sten! Tell him we have broken through the west gate!!

Qunari #2: Which one? You saw how (our) Sten died in the battlefield     (massive confusion occurs)

Sten: So I was talking to Sten the other day....
Sten: My Sten?
Sten: No Sten's Sten
Sten: My brother Sten's Sten?
Sten: No, the Sten from down town's Sten
Sten: OH, THAT Sten!
Sten: Yes, that Sten
Sten: So what'd he say?
Sten: I don't know I forget now. Ask Sten.

Who's on first?

Nope, I'm always a human male my first play through. And most other play throughs as well. I'll try the others eventually though.

I always laugh when people say humans are boring.

But my first 2 characters are always humans. Male mage, Female warrior.

I play Guild Wars 2 and have a Level 80 sylvari and a Level 80 Asari  and in  Map Chat I hear people whine that there are no elves or dwarves in GW2 yet there are 3 other non human races they can play.

So when people say...playing a human is boring...I always roll my eyes.   

I will play all the races in the game. I will start two games with one human and one qunari and take turns, 

Sylvari pretty much are the Elves of Guild Wars and culturally Norns and Charr seem Dwarf like.

[Neria Rose]

Nope, human female first. After that, I'm not sure.

:lol:I bet most people won't even check out the other options Humans? Boring. Elves? Too alien too ugly. Dwarves? One Sandal is enough for the whole series.

By the title of the thread your assuming everyone who likes DA cares about the Qunari or actually find them interesting and seeing as how i don't like them or find them interesting your thread titles assumption is completely wrong.

I will be, I've been waiting since the concept art of qunari seeker in the DA2 guidebook.

I am 100% sure the majority will play human

I don't see this as a problem.

Every single person on this thread is happy with at least one of the racial choices: conversely, when DA:I was only going to feature one playable race, there were hundreds of people on the forums complaining that they were not given a race that appealed to them.

The point of offering multiple races is not to dissuade people from playing as a human: the choice exists so that pretty much everyone can be satisfied by the race they choose to play as.

I'm curious about playing a qunari, and I am VERY thankful to bioware for this, but I don't know if i'll play as one or not. I think it will just be something I wait for more info on.

It just seems it will be a difficult balancing act of having the qunari feel qunari without altering the majority of the script. So I feel we will probably play as an errant of some kind, maybe a vashoth.

Still, however they decide to do it, the very decision to include a race such as the qunari shows dedication to their fans. I very much look forward to seeing how they implement it though! The costs in voice acting must be gigantic no matter how they handle it.

[KingGunDragon]

Well I had planed to play a human reaver in my frist run. However it apears the sub classes my not be that big of a deal now.

So now I will likely play a Qunari. I had hoped that dragon age 2 would have let me play Qunari. But in the end was sadly disspointed.

So any ways likely going to be a Qunari who has found the grace of the Maker and wishes to bring peace to the lands. I like a good redemption story. Always did like being the bad guy trying to be a good guy. One thing I really liked about SWTORP light sith all the way.

[Former_Fiend]

My first playthrough will be qunari. Probably my second as well. Maybe my third.

That's the thing,why should the default always be human?Why can't they be elf,dwarf,or qunari?And most people who play as the default human do so because they expect it and it is considered to be the norm.

You seem to be saying that if we had a different default, these people would just change it back to human.

I suppose that if you invested a lot of the marketing budget in making sure people absolutely knew DA:I was a game with multiple races of protagonist, everyone would be fully informed and the ones who *do* desperately want to play as human will choose that.

I think "default" is being used to mean the character who'll be featured most in marketing, on the box, in gameplay demos, etc. 

[lady_v23]

I'm playing all the races and origins as a warrior. Pick a favorite then make that my canon.

[sunnydxmen]

Quanari mage here haha female.

They're going to be much more popular than elves or dwarves and probably be picked as often as those two races were combined in DA:O. And BioWare will scratch its head and wonder why the qunari are so popular, but the reason is simple: they are taller and more muscular than humans.

cjones91 wrote...

Again those people will be newbies,I imagine a good number of people will be playing the other races.

Only 5% of DA:O players picked a dwarven origin.

 
nope its the horns it makes them the most unique of them all.

" Even the ones who are a part of it are not "evil", you simply do not subscribe to their beliefs and do not share their way of thinking. It would be like calling all Communists evil just because you weren't one."

the qun believes in slavery, murder, torture, brainwashing, and war for war's sake. That is as evil as evil can be. Even the Chantry with all its anti mage bull is, at its core, coming froma good place though in practice the Chantry also comments a lot of evil acts.

As for the qunari race. They are boring. They are not original. They are not deep. We were meant to respect 'Sten' despite him mass murdering innocents. And, most of the quanari who leave the Qun aren't much better since they tend to resort to lazy banditry and the like.

Evil tot he core with no depth. They may speak of honour but they have none.

[Plaintiff]

 Yeah, no. I have no real interest in playing as a Qunari. I'll be human first, and I'll consider an elf playthrough.

I may eventually get around to playing a Qunari.

I'll probably be doing an elf playthrough first, then a human, then a dwarf for a change of *ahem* perspective. After that I'll try Qunari. I'll play with every race really. I've never done that before, even in DA:O. Am actually planning a dwarf in Origins after I finish my next elf character.

I know this has been said before by many people, but I'm totally stoked for the race option to come back, it's let me discover a completely new side of the series I had never explored and I love it!

By that logic every race is evil.

"By that logic every race is evil."

No.

[coldSnap]

Human or Elf Mage for first/second playthrough. I don't play dwarves, so Qunari will probably get my third playthrough

[Giant ambush beetle]

I always choose male human for my first playthrough because I roleplay myself. Second playthrough is definitely going to be a female Qunari.

I think part of what makes humans seem less interesting is that they're not stereotyped.

This doesn't make any sense to me.  It's NOT being a stereotype that makes something interesting.

I don't personally understand why people find humans boring as a race, because it's the story behind the race that makes it interesting, or not, to play.  In Origins I usually do play a Human, but I also play Elves, too.  And I find the elves interesting for their background story, not because elves are somehow more inherently interesting than humans.  If the elves of Dragon Age didn't have the interesting cultural backdrop of being Dalish, or being ghetto-ized second-class citizens, I wouldn't be interested in playing them at all.  But they coud as easily have those backgrounds and be human. 

The reasonn why playing a human is boring is because it's basicly the same persective we already have as human most of the time. Other races atleast add a new way to look at the world.

Don't know about you, but I've never been a mage, or a noblewoman born into wealth and power and privilege; nor have I ever drank blood which cursed me with nightmares, a shortened lifespan, and the ability to sense demonic entities.  All those perspectives are totally foreign to me, yet all are the result of playing a human in Dragon Age.

Again, it's the BACKGROUND that makes it interesting, not the race itself.  If Elves weren't written to have a unique history and culture that marked their elvishness, they would for all intents and purposes BE human.  Same with the dwarves, etc.
