Apropos of nothing, Hierophant, where is your quote from?

Even the Dark Spawn resemble Orcs and Goblins and desire demons are succubus. The only unique thing I can think of are the Qunari. And I still love the game despite the fantasy cliches.

Yup, and you can add some Trolls and Chimeras to the mix too.

Also, vampires, when they were first invisioned for stories, were never meant to be super wierd monsters that always stand out when you see them. 

Uh...yes...they were...

Mainstream stories, bro. Not the ones from Eastern Europe that are used to scare little boys into not sucking their thumbs. 

Actually that depends.  The titular vampire of Carmilla (Predating Dracula by a good few decades) was indeed beautiful and seductive, not to mention a lesbian that bit young girl's breasts instead of their necks.  She didn't have super strength, but she could drain all the strength from your body with a touch.  Also, she loved hot chocolate.

I tend to prefer something more like Dracula though, a creature that appears nominally human but strains the border with the monstrous with his disquieting features.  He actually bore more resemblance to the myth, being pale and gaunt with white hair but obtained a facade of youth and a rosy pallor when he fed.

And neither of them burned in sunlight, a tradition owed entirely film.

EDIT:  I think I would prefer them to be more on the monstrous side in DA.  Most abominations seem to end up like that.

If they include vampires I want them to be monstrous looking nosferatu. Ingame explanation being they're a type of abomination, a human possessed by a hunger demon.

Hats off to the man that brought up the 30 Days of Night demons. Can easily envisage hunger demon vamps just like that.

If they can have werewolves, then they definitely can have vampires.

Why are those two things related?

[Afro_Explosion]

I want a bloodmage channeling his inner tzimisce

[ScarMK]

So, a hunger demon possessing a blood mage is a Tremere?

[TEWR]

A vampire in DA is just a living non-mage possessed by a Hunger Demon.

Next are the demons of hunger. In a living host they become cannibals and vampires, and within the dead they feed upon the living. Theirs are the powers of draining, both of life force and of mana.

Wait.  Doesn't that mean there are at least stories of vampires since that's what their basing demons of hunger off of?

You mean like within the lore of the game/Thedas itself?

Well; maybe after all they are drawing a distinction between just straight up cannibals/possessed humans and vampire/possessed humans.

Though they only feed apon the living within dead hosts?  Seems vaguely paradoxical there unless I'm misinterpreting it.  Or Vampires mean something somewhat different than we normally think of here....

[Angrywolves]

went through that demon posessed nonsense in another thread. A red jenny thread. Those demon posessed things aren't true vampires imo. Some players don't want true vampires in the game. I can see that. I would like to see true elegant manipulative vampires, but it's up to Bioware .

Would this suit you ?

[The Hierophant]

The above pic almost made me feel guilty about hunting them in DD.

[Vulpe]

 Bioware, if you are there and you're listening, then please give me this 




and let me raise him into this 



Please ! I will call him Fawkes and I promise I won't feed him with darkspawn meat. He will have a healthy died made from nugs and spring water and I promise I will put my soldiers to clean him at an interval of three days.

@ JulianWellpit

Like I said in the Story Prediction thread, I hope there is a side quest that leads the Inquisition to the discovery of the last griffons in Thedas and unlocks griffon mounts for the party.

I wonder if eating darkspawn meat has any effect on a Grey Warden beyond making htem queasy. Apparently animals can undergo the Joining too so you could probably feed a griffon darkspawn :L

I think it makes them gassy and they might face a severe case of indigestion... AND YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY FAWKS, YOU LITTLE EVIL DWARF !!! 

You want to experiment with wild animals and The Taint ? Here, take Sir Sigmund Freud.



I think that BW did a very good job with his kind and I believe that he and his cousins are betters suited for fighting darkspawn when there's no Blight + he can go with you in The Deep Roads and scale walls.
I might add that Sigmund is very rude to the soldiers and he even tried to eat Bianca.Varric kinda wants him gone...

Manticore anyone?

[Angrywolves]

Weren't those things in MOA. Only played it once.
I expect there are Griffins in some corner of Thedas and we'll see them.

Looks like something that would prowl the jungles of Seheron and Par'Vollen.

[EmperorSahlertz]

I think most of the fantasical monsters proposed, could be introduced into the world simply by explaining it as various demons possessing various more common animals (like lions, wolves, deers etc.).

Pride demon infused jungle cat equals manticore? I could totally get down with that.
Perhaps templars abilities could be particularly potent against such creatures.
