Maybe it's a solution, albeit a radical one, to the issue of carnal love being contrary to the beliefs of the Qun or the lack of sexual interest by Kossith. And it also would be a solution to avoid potential awkwardness in romances.

Maybe after being born under the Qun, the Inquisitor retains disinterest on romantic relations, and while he / she is now free to do as desired, that opression still lasts inside.

[franciscoamell]

Romance is already optional, I don't see the need to restrict it further. If you find romance as a qunari awkward then don't do it.

[Former_Fiend]

Romance doesn't necessarily need to be sexual.

[LOLandStuff]

No hanky panky for qunari inquisitor

[Volourn]

As above guy says, if that's how you want to roleplay your qunari go ahead. Maybe others want to roleplay their quanari as dropping ALL aspects of the race's religion. Maybe they see how happy romantic couples can be and go for it. Plus, we already know that the qunari are capable of 'romantic love'. they just, as a religion (not a race) choose to be more 'logical'. ie. Arranged marriages ala various societies int ehr eal world. heck, Qunari don't even treat the parent-child relationship properly. Another reason why they are evil pieces of crap.

The qunari Inquisitor does not follow the Qun.

Nope.

Not me, but I'd say writers were contrary to the idea of a human inquisitor / qunari companion romance. Those who wanted it were called fetishists by some

Interesting. Would you wish to elaborate on that?

Sten says "No".

[Potato Cat]

Surprised a Sten No hasn't been posted yet.

EDIT
Half ninja'd there!

I think that's pretty much the same case to dwarf romance and yet we were not restricted in Origins. I wish we could've romanced Sigrun though and I hope Varric will be an LI.

Where did you get that from? (Not disputing, just don't recall hearing that anywhere.)

Qunari have no "family units": they do not marry, choose partners, or even know to whom they are related. A Qunari's "family" consists of his or her coworkers.[13]Qunari generally do not associate mating with love. They feel love. They have friends. They form emotional bonds with one another. However, they simply do not sleep with each other to express it. If they do, then they are sent to be reeducated by the Ben-Hassrath. If a child is produced, the same thing happens as with all other Qunari children: it is sent to be raised by the Tamassrans, evaluated, and assigned a job. Qunari do not waste resources unnecessarily, people included.[13]http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Qunari

[DaringMoosejaw]

They were called fetishists because they kept asking specifically for that race as a love interest. Not because the idea is inherently sick but because they just wanted any female Qunari which strikes as fetishism.

There'll be no restrictions, maybe it might be briefly brought up if the Qunari PC was ever actually religiously Qunari but just as a reference.

The qunari Inquisitor does not follow the Qun.

That's the most probable scenario, but please, don't say with that certainty because the devs might surprise us yet again.

It is extremely unlikely as they wouldn't make sense otherwise. But even if it does happen and he's wrong - what's the worst that happens? Someone come back here a year later and goes, 'YOU WERE WRONG, HOW DARE YOU' and they call the cops?

[Genshie]

I thought one of Bioware's major points when it came to romancing is that it didn't matter what your sexuality was or what race you are. (Which is a great stance to go by and promote in today's world) Is the only issue here that people are hung up on is the Qun bit? It is probably very likely that the qunari Inquisitor will not be following the Qun. It will certainly open up more doors if he/she doesn't than if he/she did. (More conflicts with his/her own race, interesting convo's with the Iron Bull character, and more conflicts with outside races due to racial stereotyping)

That concerns only cultural Qunaris, but the Inqunsitor will not follow the Qun

[Lluthren]

I thought you'd be (tal-)vashoth? One not of the qun/born of the qun can bang whomever he/she wants. Kossith have different personalities like all other races, so I think that coldness would depend on the pc.

[Genshie]

I know I just posted, but why are their people here that actually want restrictions on a character? I thought players want more freedom with their characters rather than rules/guidelines to follow? (Rules/guidelines being the Qun in this case) I thought that including the Qunari race was suppose to be adding on to that freedom not restricting it.

Edit: And here comes the "but it adds to the realism of roleplaying", bit....<_<

I thought it was fairly self explanitory. You don't have to have sex with someone to express your feelings for them. It's that simple.

Having said that I don't imagine they're actually going to do that. As others have pointed out, the player's qunari won't be a follower of the Qun and therefore is not bound by this particular restriction. 

[Knight of Dane]

Where does it say that the Qunari is actually qunari?

I can't see how we are supposed to make our own character in this RPG if s/he's forced into the qun because of background.

I just think we must be the most accurate possible with our statements. Otherwise, talking with other people can be the worst way of learning something new.

The point is: we shouldn't affirm with all certainty something we don't know for sure. No one is going to call the cops, but I shouldn't throw garbage to the ground now should I?
