I was just thinking about Dragon Age: Inquisition, and I had a great idea!
What if in the beginning of the game, you could choose to be a beast race. The beast races would be like Werewolves, The Qunari, etc. I was just wondering if anyone else liked this idea, and if anyone has heard anything about this.
Please give feedback on this idea. Thanks!

But the Qunari beastmen are already a playable race.
Werewolves sound like shapeshifting. I support.
Anymore races and I think Bioware will have a heart attack.

The Qunari are already playable and the Werewolves are way too problematic to be a race, considering they are, well, beasts.
I'd like the Werewolves to have a presence in the game, but I don't believe they should be a playable race. Qunari are as bestial as the playable races should get, IMO.
The fex may be a bestial race. Or they may be an in-joke. We don't know what they look like, or their level of sentience & society. They've apparently never left Par Vollen (there also may not be many of them left, as it seems the Qunari wiped out a lot), and we've never been there, so ...
That's about the state of things, on them.
I Would not liked to bee a wearwolf. because i know for sure varric will trow bones away.
and mine doggy nature will geth the best off me
I'm curious, do Werewolves exist in any other part of Thedas, besides Ferelden? If it's only Ferelden, then I won't be seeing any of them anymore.

Werewolves are more common in Ferelden than anywhere else, but they do exist in other parts of Thedas. If you examine the trophy heads at Chateau Haine during MotA, you can see a couple werewolf heads mounted on the walls.

Well, they could have a presence if you are infected with lycanthropy. It could be a special spell/power, just like how you can change into a bear, and other animals as a shapeshifter.
I just want blue lesbian aliens and if not that, grey lesbian aliens.
Also, I wasn't aware that the Qunari are playable, but then again, I'm new on this forum xD
I wouldn't really consider qunari to be a "beast race," even knowing a little about their connection to dragons. They are still very human.
Werewolves - can't see that happening as a playable race, because the werewolves of Thedas are handled differently than in some other lore. For instance, they can't ever shapeshift to a human/elf/dwarven form. They are in constant pain, so that most of them just become violent and berserk from it. And, werewolves aren't really a "race" so much as they're a "curse." Supposedly normal wolves could become werewolves. It's all about demons transforming them or possessing them--not something you want for a playable character, especially when it would mean being hunted down and killed.
That isn't to say that there isn't a legitimate "beast race" that could exist in the Dragon Age world. Thedas is big, and we haven't seen much of it at all. We've never crossed the Waking Sea, we've never been to Par Vollen. Thus far, the only race we don't know anything at all about is the fex; the rest are humanoid. But, across the Waking Sea, or elsewhere, there very well could be a few more races we haven't encountered or even heard of.
And yet, all that being said, Dragon Age isn't Elder Scrolls; the developers may not choose to have truly animalistic races in Thedas, and that'd be fine by me. I like them in the Elder Scrolls, but I'm not sure how they'd work in Dragon Age, lore-wise or even in terms of how people would react to them and treat them. If anything like a khajiit showed up in Fereldan, for instance, no matter how friendly it was, it would likely be killed under suspicion of being some kind of abomination.

Qunari aren't beasts, though. They look it, but they're people like everyone else.
People may be scared of the Qunari due to the imposing stature and alien culture, but most will brown their pants if they see a werewolf. Unless you assume a more natural form outside of combat, I do not see it working. To the people of Thedas, werewolves are monsters. They are not seen as a cursed being who could be potentially heroic as in Teen Wolf (the TV show). Also, intelligent werewolves are not common in any mythology. The idea of being able to control the beast is another trope that only exists in media.
Okay, then how about a more legitimate beast race in say, the mysterious Fex? Or if there are none that's fine. It was just an interesting concept I figured I'd bring up.
Also about the Qunari not being "beasts" they are literally referred to as "beast-men" in lore and by characters in both of the previous games.
Playable Darkspawn?
Oh no wait, playable Children. Thats a beast race, unlike anything else on Thedas.
The game could be you starting as a little grub and then having to feed and grow. Eventually you will be fighting Ogres, Dragons, and Giants as your ever changing form keeps growing.
