Actually, I'm not going anywhere near the Qunari until I see how they are handled. They have such a specific and trademark world view. If all they've done to make Qunari playable is to have you born outside of they Qun and and raised to think like a human, then I'm not interested. I'm not interested in a different skin, but in trying a new character type. So my first play-throughs will be a human mage and an elven rogue.

Considering how it usually is, a majority will play human male.

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

Why are you so hellbent on calling anyone playing a human male newbies? I've seen you do this in several threads.

Some people enjoy human male. Leave it at that rather than denigrating them as lazy noobs.

The classic human 20-30 something white straight male is a lazy default choice especially if the game offers character creation.I'm not singling anyone who likes playing as those sorts of character but most people always go with the default because they are subconciously used to it.I wonder what would happen if Bioware made the default a elf or qunari because that will probaly skew the results.

We know Elf and humans make human babies...but what about Qunari and Elf babies?  I'm going to find out using romances next exciting episode of Dragon Ball Z  Age:Inquisition

I plan on playing as a Female Qunari Warrior on my second playthrough,and that's mainly to see how other Qunari would react to one of their own fighting  as a woman.

Yeah, Tallis is a Qunari and a warrior, what is with that? lol

She's a spy/assassin in a secretive order called Ben-Hassrath.
Not a warrior

I'll take a hard turn to the Qunari locomotion.

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

But how many people just skipped the CC and went with the default human male noble origin?This is why I don't trust stats because there are always other factors that may be at work.

If they skipped the CC in Origins, I assume they'll do the same for DA:I, and you'll still have few people playing non-humans.

Elf + human = human
Elf + dwarf = dwarf
Elf + qunari = qunari

Wait elves are too alien but qunari aren't?

Me, assuming I get the game I intend to start with a human or elf and save something as exotic as qunari for a later playthrough

The elves in DA2 are aliens from another planet while the Qunari are just tall, muscular humans with horns...And the elves were too ugly...in my worthless humble opinion

[H. Birdman]

My impulse would be to play Qunari first, but I'm leaning toward playing human male rogue instead --to get sort of a standard baseline story-- then playing Qunari female mage second to see the comparison.

And now it's looking the other way around, with elves being more human-like and "Qunari" being more beastlike. The males anyway. Females will be grey humans with horns though.

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.

Why anyone would skip the CC and keep that god awful default male human face is beyond me.

It's because most newbies see other games with the classic 20-30 something male and they assume that is the norm,so when a game like DAO came out most players just picked what they assumed was the correct choice.

I will play human first then either qunari or elf. I will probably play it multiple times and hit on each race at least once. Gives me more times to play the game if I have multiple options of race and style to choose from. I just hope that a qunari mage is treated differently than even a human mage and that all mages aren't just clumped together in terms of how people react to them.

[Taleroth]

I'll probably play a Qunari Mage for my first playthrough.

Subsequent playthroughs will depend on how I feel it fit into the narrative.

Yeah, but anyone with eyes can see that they have options to change facial features at the very least.
The default male human was an eyesore, while the default female human was clasically pretty.  No surprise there.

But...but she fights! Why was Sten so surprised by the female warden? Couldn't he reason that the warden and Tallis were the same type of women? ...... infinite confusion, I have traveled to the plane of limbo:wub:

[Knight of Dane]

In the polls humans still win.

Personally I'm on Elf mage, then Dwarf before going Qunari.

It'll probably be around the same popularity as elves because they're a slightly modified human, whether it'll steal from the elven spotlight remains to be seen. Humans numbers will remain the same.

[Cespar]

Will be playing an Dwarf rogue on most playthroughs.

Well there's usually a psuedo-canon love interest that is usually female, for example, Isabela or Liara. And the default PC is human male, always. (That's somewhat changing with DA:I, bless them.)

[Daerog]

So far, I've preferred being human in DA games. I've been elf and dwarf in some playthroughs, of course, but my canon is Human Mage in DA:O and then warrior in DA2, but that can't be helped in DA2.

I'm thinking elf or human for first playthrough, leaning human still, possibly mage, but if the elf mage is forced to be dalish then human mage it'll be first. Could change mind as more info gets released....


Bah I say to those who dismiss the human majority because of "newbies," humans are just the bestest!

IDK.  The devs probably created  the Ben-Hassrath order conveniently at the time of the DLC to justify Tallis's existence.

Simple, give the character a background where he's married and has kids, and that he's been a part of a movement that oppresses the gays and lesbians

Human numbers will drop slightly because previously humans were the tallest, biggest race and now they're not.

[The Elder King]

There are plently of people here that aren't 'newbies' and will play as humans first, for various number of reason. Even the poll opened up after the qunari reveal has humans as the first choice (at least when I saw it, but there were a lot of votes already).
As for myself, I'll play as an elf mage the first time, and either a dwarf and qunari the second time. But if the game turna out to be good I'll do at least two playthroughs for every race.
