Even though the devs are calling the race Qunari, the Inquisitor will not actually be a Qunari, and therefore does not abide by the Qun. So theoretically if you pick a Qunari that isn't actually a Qunari, you can partake in romance just like any other character.


Bioware's current party line is that the word Qunari refers to both the race and members of the religion, in the sense that the word Jewish can refer to someone of jewish ethnicity who doesn't practice the jewish faith and someone who practices the jewish faith but is not of jewish descent.

 Skimming through the couple pages here thus far, I haven't found it yet, so here goes a quote by one of the developers, Mary Kirby, on Qunari social interactions:

Qunari don't generally associate mating with love. They feel love. They have friends. They form emotional bonds with one another. They just don't sleep with each other to express it. And if they do, they get re-educated by the Ben-Hassrath. So, y'know, not exactly encouragement there.

If such a thing occurred and produced a child, the same thing would happen to the offspring as happens to all other Qunari offspring: It would be raised by the Tamassrans, evaluated, and assigned a job. Qunari don't waste people unnecessarily.


So, in other words yes, Qunari can feel affection for one another, and no, that affection does not extend to copulation.

Frankly, I'd love to see romance-content done without that when it comes down to it. But then again, I wouldn't even mind if bed-play cutscenes were omitted in general, but that's just me.

If that were true, why would any break the rules and hten have to be re-educated?

Don't worry, male Qunari are very poorly hung, no member of the small squishy races will die today.

Depends upon how 'many' there are. Might be a rarity for oxmen, possibly more for viddathari.

Way I'd put it anyway, not knowing the developer's further take on it.

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.


First comment and I think you said what needed to be said.

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


Well isn't this a good sign for DA:I romance? It may mean we can take romances in a different direction, ones that aren't necessarily sexual, for those players who feel uncomfortable with that aspect.

Romancing as a Qunari should be no more awkward than romancing as a Dwarf.

That is to say, very awkward but still adorable.

Can I pick up my object of affections as a Qunari? No bending down for my badass lady!

I don't see Qunari Inquisitor being very successful with non-BSN like companions xD

the Quanari Inquisitor could produce the most odd romance quests possible but it should be an option

Oooh, that's an interesting idea. Wouldn't float the boat of the majority though.

This, but tbh i don't think they should limit the romances like that. it's suppposed to be there for everyone to enjoy, not something everyone can enjoy only if they pick the "right" playthrough.

Shouldn't it be the player's choice whether or not their qunari is "too qunari" for romance? It's an RPG, after all. As the player there's really no up side to that decision being made for me.

Did you not play DA:O? It was primarily an aesthetic choice, it gave you some in-ground linkage because you had playable origins


I wouldn't call an 1 hour introduction customised origin "aesthetic". It had repercussions in the story, quests and endgame

Most of the "Qunari as a playable race111!!11" advocates only want Qunari available as a sex object. Take away the LIs from Qunari, and I guarantee you no one would play or show any interest in a Qunari's "culture" or "personality".


Wrong.


Hence why every Qunari thread thus far, perhaps besides this, has always become a homosexuality/heterosexuality of Qunari/masturbation/sex discussion.

You are *very* confused.

Or, here's a radical notion:

People get to decide for themselves how their Qunari character feels, thinks and behaves.

Huh? Huh?

I hope InQUistior will have an option for asexual qunari-style romance. That would be awesome
