So far, we know that elves and humans can reproduce together and their children will look mostly like humans. Humans and dwarves can reproduce but the risks of infertility are high, that child will be a taller looking dwarf though will be shorter than the average human being. If an elf and a dwarf reproduce, the child will look dwarven mostly. A friend of mine asked me if Qunari (Tal-Vashoth) are able to reproduce with other races and if that's the case, how they would look like. We're asking that simply because we're role players and we wanted to know more about that part of the lore.

We have no idea at this time whether the Qunari are capable of reproducing with other species. Maybe it'll come up in Inquisition since we can play one.

[St. Victorious]

They come out like Sten.

(No backing to this btw, just throwing it out there)

Interesting theory. In that case, the hybrid would be born hornless, with some traits from the other races and his or her colour would be similar to the Qunari parent.

[Dio Demon]

Straight from the wiki. I don't think it's the result of interbreeding.

 

Hornlessness is a rare genetic variation in Qunari, akin to red hair in humans. Those born without horns are considered special and are often given prestigious roles in Qunari society such as a Ben-Hassrath or an envoy to the other races.^[6] Sten, who became a companion of the Wardenas a soldier of the Beresaad, falls into this category. Culturally, Qunari associate not having horns with being imposing or scary, and because of this Tal-Vashoth often decide to remove their own horns.^[7] Likewise,Saarebas, the Qunari mages, have their horns removed to warn of their danger.^[8].

Sten always struck me as elfish. Only in gamma radiation sort of way. So to me it makes sense. Again, no real evidence to it.

Sten is pure Qunari. Those of the Qun don't interbreed with other races.

While you're most likely correct you also can't be certain without Dev confirmation. Perhaps they're hornless because recessive non-Qunari genes are within their bloodline.

Back when Mark of the Assassin came out, and it was revealed that the Tal Vashoth Salit had a beard, I swear I remember reading that a member of the Dev team had earlier refused to confirm if Qunari could grow facial hair because it was a "spoiler."
Perhaps because Qunari are the product of thousands of years of crossbreeding between various races? Humans, elves, perhaps dwarves... and the original horned race of giants that came from across the sea.

Also Sten has facial hair in the comics and I think it's been confirmed that he's 100% Qunari.

A dev has stated pretty much that, they said it's a natural minor genetic mutation which is the equivalent of a person being born with red hair.

It's not a defect. It's a minor genetic variation. The equivalent would be closer to having naturally copper-red hair. The Qunari just say, "Oh, he's hornless," in the same way we'd say, "He's ginger." It's just an adjective, not a classification

They can grow beards, we may be able to give them beards, amoung numerous other things.

I don't think they would consider interspecies breeding or if one did do it probably wouldn't work out due to many factors.

[St. Victorious]

So according to the devs, hornless Qunari are soulless? Creepy.

[ArtemisMoons]

Clearly Qunari of the Qun would never "cross-breed" (I'm not overly fond of this term), and I imagine that most of the citizens of Thedas are mostly scared of Tal-Vashoth so there aren't very many (if any) instances of any hybrids. lol. 

It is an interesting question, though. 

But then again, we don't see too many instances of human/elf children, which I believe would be the most likely groups to get it on. And I wonder if their offspring are sterile like mules are?

[Immelman]

Anyone know if the character creation will allow us to choose a hornless qunari inquisitor?

Yes.

[Former_Fiend]

I've heard one(entirely baseless but interesting) theory that qunari and human crossbreeding works like human and elven crossbreeding, only with humans drawing the short straw this time around.

 

Again, baseless, but interesting if true.

[Nefla]

Female inquisitors should be able to try to have a baby with Iron Bull, you know...for science!

[Jigglypuff]

Can a dwarf and quanari actually reproduce I mean . . .

[Mockingword]

Half-Qunari are hung

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

... in the town square.

[Han Shot First]

There might not be any hybrids.

 

Technically the child of an elf and a human isn't a hybrid at all. The child is born entirely human. Its kind of life Mass Effect with the Asari. No matter who the Asari pair with, any children will be 100% Asari.

 

If the offspring of other mixed race combinations in Thedas work the same way as humans and elves, there won't be any hybrids.

[Teddie Sage]

Han, you forgot elf-blooded like Feynriel who are half human, half elf. Feynriel has pointy ears I recall, but they're shaped a little bit differently from other elves. He seems taller than the average Dragon Age 2 elf as well.

[Former_Fiend]

Feynriel's ears are big, but they aren't pointy.

 

Just played that quest yesterday.

[Teddie Sage]

They look kinda pointy to me on the pictures I saw on the Wiki, that's why I said that.

[Exaltation]

I want to see a Qunari-Dwarf half breed.

[Former_Fiend]

Well, they aren't. They're very rounded. Sometimes a bad camera angle will do that, but having seen him in game, they're round.

 

I think the thing with Feynriel is primarily a bit of miscommunication between the writers and the art department, but the best explanation I've seen for why he looks at all elven is that his features favor his mother, so you have someone with a human body but elven features. That doesn't make him not a human, just makes him a funny looking one.
