Goats. They will look like goats.

You do realize the qunari body type would be impossible to achieve with thedas's knowledge of muscle gain, plus anyone of this stature is considered abnormal therefore an entire race that averages 7ft+ and naturally develops this build with horns and grey skin would be "barely human" by even modern standards 

 

Well here's the thing about that, we aren't dealing with normal qunari. The qunari we see are in the military, such as sten, or the qunari mercenaries in DAO. And in DA2, every qunari in Kirkwall came from the shipwreck of the arishoks vessel. Essentially, every qunari was part of the military who was staying in Kirkwall all those years, from the tal-vashoth who defected to the common soliders you see, they were all warriors trained from birth to serve the qun as part of their military branch.

 

Furthermore, the qunari's practices are hardly similar to that of thedas's, with so much emphasis on serving the state and being as efficient as possible, it is very likely the qunari have developed fitness regiments and dietary plans far ahead of what the rest of thedas has, as is indicative of their lack of pastry or deserts due to it not being as efficient as bread.

 

The height is the main issue, and I will grant that there is no real excuse for them being giants outside of wanting them to be tall. I just however chalk that up to an evolutionary quark in the same vein of why the majority of asain people are shorter then their European counterparts.

If this looks human to you then I've got bad news for you. 

 

That qunari is most likely the "iron bull" character talked about in the character survey that got leaked. There is a simple explanation for him, that being, that he is freakishly large even by qunari standards IE Gregor Clegane from a song of ice and fire.

1.) That amount of muscle mass cannot be gained without modern tools

2.)We dont know if any of what you said is true

3.)No evidence suggests if any of that is true

4.)Look at the iron bull again, that beast is as human as a gorilla

[Cainhurst Crow]

What evidence suggest what I said isn't true however? If absence of evidence is not evidence, then absence of counter evidence is equally fallacious as well.

 

And tell me exactly what it is about the qunaris muscle mass that isn't feasible with todays modern tools. What is the basis of your claim? Where are your statistics to prove this? Where are your sources? Your backing? Your proof?

 

Edit: I should go.

[JerZey CJ]

I like the vertical horns tbh. I always wanted to be a tiefling in video games.

It's an option in the Never Winter Nights MMO(the newer one that came out like a year ago)

Lol so because there is no proof to discredit your assumption, that some how makes it plausible? Thats not how things work in reality

I said that sort of mass IS ONLY possible with todays tools. My basis of claim is the human anatomy and years of experience. You're debating for the sake of trying not to be wrong

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Question:

 

Since the Qunari are a different race than humans, why should human anatomy apply at all?

[First Enchanter Orsino]

I think they should have one leg, that they use to hop and can also walk on their arms . This should be the only visible different between male Quanari and female Quanari. They can do some bad ass Qunari martial arts

[Iron Fist]

Question:

 

Since the Qunari are a different race than humans, why should human anatomy apply at all?

 

Because they are not aliens and are similar to humans, implying a genetic relationship.

[Steelcan]

Question:

Because our fundamental structure is identical to most other mammals, some minor variances here and there for sure, but mostly the same

[Cainhurst Crow]

It's as plausible as your assumption that I am wrong. And while I use circumstantial evidence (The arishok being the military head of the qun, their quest being a mission to retrieve a stolen artifact they were transporting, the qunari being described as highly controlled by their leaders demands, stens statement about having no sweets in his country, etc) you don't present any evidence to prove you are correct, you just say I don't have definitive proof while presenting no definitive proof of your own. That isn't how reality works either. Absence of evidence works for objections to theories as well as theories presented.

This is completely speculative so don't except me to be able to back it up, but what if the qunari just have a different type of genetics then humans have? Like, what if qunari are to humans what belgian blues are to regular cows? Or perhaps a similar but not quite exact condition as them?

 

I will fully admit that this is just spitballing and that unlike the other post, I have no evidence, circumstantial or otherwise, to back this up.

Here's some support, all sarabasses are the same size yet they have no need to train phsyically at all, same with Salit, who was a religious teacher or priest. Your assumption is not supported by anything but something you fantasized and are claiming to be true only because it cant be disproved, i can say qunari are from space and are actually time travelers and with nothing to discredit it, according to your standards, i can be correct

Hot damn, BioWare. Make her so. 

[Divine Justinia V]

Here's another picture of a Qunari Female:

 

 

As much as I love the style, I don't think they would look like this. She has a lot of human facial features and I didn't see that with the DA2 Qunari.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

But then again, the Male faces we saw in the Inquisition rendering had more human features to them as well.

[eyezonlyii]

 

I see no problem with She Hulk as a baseline for the qunari female. 

 

SN: do ou know how hard it is to find a She Hulk picture that isn't ridiculously sexual?

 

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Ooh, here's an art drawing of a male and female hornless Qunari:

 

[TheLittleBird]

Ooh, here's an art drawing of a male and female hornless Qunari

 

As someone for whom it doesn't really matter if the female Qunari will be quite as muscular as the male, I must say that female in that picture looks far too human when compared to the male next to her.

[Nox]

What is it with devs and shoes. First shoeless elves, now shoeless qunari

[EmperorSahlertz]

Because our fundamental structure is identical to most other mammals, some minor variances here and there for sure, but mostly the same

Are you trying to impose science on fantasy?

[Cainhurst Crow]

Salit the ex-ben-hassrath? The ones in charge of hunting down and either converting or eliminating those who leave the qun? He has no reason to be in shape at all?

 

As for the sarabasses, that I will give you. At that point I would point to DA2's rushed and under pressure development team and how costly it is to make different body models. Since the majority of the qunari were going to be normal warrior, they ended up using the same body model for all of them. It's also the same reason every background qunari looks like they are all twins, given that they are basically copy and pasted to make a crowd. At that point however all bets are off and we might as well throw up our hands into the air and say "screw it, 42 is the answer all along".

 

As for your bit of hyperbole there at the end, It's uncalled for and downright dirty to use hyperbole to try and prove your point. My assumptions and speculations were based on circumstantial evidence anyone else could look and and infer the same logical conclusion from. You are free to draw a different conclusion from my findings and evidence, that's fine. Disagreement is fine and all, but to declare all the points invalid simply because you don't like the answer given is just childish, as is refusing to admit when you might have been mistaken in your dismissal.

 

You are not showing evidence to back up why I am wrong, and just shouting I'm wrong for the simple fact that I must be wrong for disagreeing with you. It's stupid.

[Cainhurst Crow]

Ooh, here's an art drawing of a male and female hornless Qunari:

 

 

She could be buffer, and have a pair of shoes. Maybe she could have a more pronounced brow but it's not really all that important imo. But otherwise I don't really have much problem with it.

 

Don't know why the male qunari has elf ears though.

[Banxey]

While I wont judge what the women look like until I actually see them, what I would like is for them to be more realistically muscular than that (old?) comparison picture. And to have more interesting faces. I saw a lot of people arguing that the male qunari in DA2 were sexed up, and while I personally enjoy broad shoulders I hardly thought their faces were tailored to be attractive to women. The female qunari faces always seem to be attractive in such a way that if you were to make them blonde and white they would become a model with horns. So I hope they manage to pull off a more unique look in that respect. I don't mean they have to be ugly, but rather a different form of beautiful.
