Also, thanks for your kind words about my first picture, thats means alot!

Keep in mind that is not all of her perks. If you notice, the scroll bar doesnt seem to really even hit the half way mark. So there is likely more cool things then just money discounts.  

 

I know that her dialogue perk for nobility and the history/chantry dialogue perk are the first two I am getting.

The Chantry is the main religion in Thedas.

The Chantry is the main religion in Thedas. 

 

oh ok, there's any other religion options in Thedas? just wondering, because I mostly focusing on general story/plot and paying less

attention to details (since game comics/books not available here, I'm almost ran out elements)

There are 5 main religions in Thedas. 

 

The Chantry: This is supported by the humans and City Elves in every nation but Tevinter

The Imperial Chantry: This is supported by those in the Tevinter Imperium. 

The Elven Pantheon: This is supported by the Dalish Elves.

The Stone: This is supported by the Dwarves in Orzammar and many surface Dwarves. 

The Qun: This is supported by the Qunari and those of other races who convert. 

 

There are also smaller religions, like the ones the human tribes follow or the dragon cults, but these 5 are the only ones with any real noticeable impact on Thedas.

oh yeah I remember those Qun dialogues in DA2 when Aveline and Hawke speaking with the master qunari (his name Sten maybe?)

Thanks for info man

I mostly quit not long after the Makeb expansion, which was extremely generic for each faction, because it became clear that the next additions were going to be MP space combat, short special events, and big end game group instances (I tend to solo or play with one other person). On Makeb you never talked to your companions or had contact with anyone specific to your class. Remember, I was referring to someone else mentioning a wish for specific romance content which I think would need specific class content (at least if the LI will end up as a crew member). I'm not concerned about sex or even the romance myself (though it would be nice to be able to have some conversation with a companion you married), but the companions might as well be random NPCs once you complete your class chain. And your class meant nothing on Makeb, honestly.

 

I asked at a SW cantina a while back and was left with the impression they were unlikely to bother with much class specific content again, if any. I'm glad to hear it if they're adding some good story (but it would mean grinding through Makeb on every character which was only fun the first couple of times) to be able to play the newer quests I assume. My only gaming friends who are still actively playing the game are those who mostly power level and then play the 8+ player content. I may peek back in, but my impression from them (which may be distorted by their own preferences) was that the newer quests weren't really solo content. Don't get me wrong, I loved the game (I got at least one PC of each class to 50 and at least 6 to 55). But I loved the story and separate class interactions of the original release, and I kind of feel like having the decision of who to side with at the end of the Imperial agent story, for instance, to then vanish into irrelevance would be a bit like discovering that it didn't matter what you chose at the Landsmeet, somehow Alistair and Anora end up married and ruling together (just to bring the conversation back to DA ).

I feel the same way, I don't have any real gaming friends so I tend to play solo or with strangers but I was disappointed with Makeb's lack of class stories and interactions with companions.

Close. He is called the Arishok. In Origins we had a Qunari companion called Sten who is now the new Arishok. 

No problem.

Well they are a religion. They are a monotheistic religion that believes in a creator god called the Maker. They believe that Andraste was the prophet of the Maker, his bride, and was burnt at the stake in the Tevinter captial, her mortal husband Maferath betrayed her to Archon Hessarian. Upon her death she is said to have been raised up and became a divine figure; Hessarian is often said to be the first convert btw.

 

she was raised to his right side and became divine herself. The religious organzation itself is structured similarly to catholicisim. There holy book is refered to as The Chant of Light that was said to have been preached during Andraste's day. In the Andrastian chantry*(there is another chantry in Tevinter) they are lead by the divine from Val Royeaux, she is elected by grand clerics. The interesting thing to me is that most of the ranks are female, though men can become brothers. 

 

The chantry is widespread in thedas. The kingdoms of Nevarra, Orlais, Fereldan, Anderfels, Rivian and the city state region of the Free Marches all follow the Chantry's faith, even if some nations have their own varations on things, notably Nevarra and Rivian have some different views on a few things. 

 

There are four principals of the andrastian faith.

 

I. Magic is a corrupting influence in the world.

II. Humankind's sin of pride destroyed the Golden City and created the darkspawn, terrible embodiments of that sin.

III. Andraste was the bride of the Maker, a prophet and martyr whose ultimate sacrifice must be remembered and honored.

IV. Humankind has sinned and must seek penance to earn the Maker's forgiveness. When all people unite to praise the Maker, he will return to the world and make it a paradise.

 

I do hope this helps you out feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

I take it the "Arishok" is a high title/rank in Qun? I played origins as well, but combat was so slow (obiously in that time with

old mechanics and engine) but story was quite good imo

Correct. 

 

The Qun is a religious Theocracy lead by three individuals.

 

The Arishok: This is the leader of the military, this is a position only men can achive. In qunari thought this represents the body.

The Arigena: this is the leader of the farmers, industires, production and merchants. this is a postion only women can acheivie. It repersents in the Qunari thought, the Mind. 

The Ariqun: leader of the priests. Either Gender can rise to this rank. This repersents the soul. 

 

I personally find the Qun fascinating, even if I disagree with it.

oh thats alot of information man thanks! but in my opinion: Magic is not a really bad thing- only worst thing is the blood-magic,

too bad Templars cant see that and killing each other. Actually I liked the Knight-Commander in DA2, I cant even decide she is

good person or not because sometimes she do good speeches and sometimes she is just greedy templar who seeks kills

everyone and trying to became a leader in Kirkwall.

 

I'm not sure which one is true, but again in my opinion: both sides have their own faults. Mages using the blood-magic to lost

their brains to "defend" themselves and Templars is a organization to bring "justice"

 

Varric is entirely right

 

"I think I'm sick of templars and mages"

Yeah, it is an entirely foreign religion since there was really nothing like it in human history, which makes it fascinating in its mystique.

Well, the stance on magic by the Chantry is "Magic is a gift, but it is also a curse". 

 

As for Meredith, I have to admit I felt sorry for her. Pretty much every bad thing she did was a result of the Red Lyrium idol messing with her mind. Even Anders, aka Mr. I Hate Templars, in Act 2 commends her. "The Knight-Commander is at least sincere in her convictions. However misguided, she believes she is helping people."

It's because Ari is a term in Qunlat.

Ari: Possibly "person"; used as a prefix denoting singular or leadership, and as a suffix denoting a group.

The Qun is a religious Theocracy lead by three individuals.

 

Since the Qunari are atheists and actively dismiss deities and religion as a foolish superstitions, they're not really a religious theocracy.

 

They're probably more a Social Darwinist Meritocracy, as we know they use eugenics to breed people for select roles in their society, before assigning them positions based on how well they're judged to excel in those roles.

 

If they do particularly well, they're given a promotion (Sten becoming the new Arishok) whereas if they fail, they're demoted downwards (Tallis becoming an Athlok, before being allowed to regained her old title).

I'd say they are more Communist or Socialist than Social Darwinist, since they all share everything. Tevinter is a Social Darwinist society.

True, but the Qunari see themselves and the society as strong, while all bas are "mired in weakness". Their determination to remove the weakness from themselves by eugenics and seeking to remove weakness from bas by uniting them under the ordered authority of the Qun, does come across as a type of Social Darwinism, although you're right that they do have some Communist traits as well.

Well they have an entire section of their organzation that are priests/priestess. There are religions in our world that are not theistic, notably Buddhisim. 

 

To me though the Qunari seem like a militant version of Confucianism and Taoism.
