They are very slightly pointed.

Human and Elven hybrids are strange because while the offspring are apparently 100% human race-wise they do seem to be able to inherit features like hair colour or eye colour from their Elven parents.

You are sick! Inter-species sex is gross!

isn't alistar a half - elf, he does not look elf-like at all.

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].

It should have said: Hornlessness is a rare variation in qunari that occurs when the first game in a franchise is produced with a rather low budget and leads to races that resemble chipmunk-faced grey roid abusers.

they don't exist as anything but a technicality, human trait are dominant over elf. no other examples of cross species reproduction exist in canon to my knowledge.

There's Sandal. (Well, probably. The Carta dwaves in Legacy talk about him being an Aeducan bastard whose mother was either a human or an elf. Whether this explains anything about Sandal remains to be seen.)

Human once loved dragon and this is how first Qunari born.

I highly doubt there's any info about qunari-halves simply because there's no real environment for them.

 

For the Qun, all qunari (let's refer to the race as kossith here) are 'bred' according to genetic programmes (this is why they feel love, but do not associate it with sex, since sex is instead a duty). I highly doubt non-kossith would be involved in this process since the whole point of the programme is that the kossith have reached the points of 'breeds' as they have been artificially selected for so long - a strain of strong, a strain of smart, a strain of precise, what-have-you. Elves, dwarves and humans are still too genetically random to be involved (also I don't think the Qunari view them as 'true' member of the Qun, merely converts).

 

As for outside the qun, the Tal-Vashoth that are ex-Qun still carry a lot of the Qun culture, even involuntarily - such as perferring banditry to mercenary work since their souls are stored in their tools (which for warriors, is there weapon) and thus a sellsword is selling who he is. Vashoth born without direct Qun influence may still carry this culture - as well as perhaps NOT EVEN BEING born because the love/sex divide is so ingrained.

 

Then on the non-kossith side, well... humans can't really tell the difference between the 'factions' of ox-men. I see the chances of any of them being involved with a qunari impossible, and a Tal-Vashoth very unlikely.

 

Judging from what little we know of Iron Bull - a Tal-Vashoth breaking all stereotypes - he is probably the first and only example of a POSSIBLE connection. But even then, I would not be surprised if his romance (if he indeed HAS one) would be of the chaste variety - and if so hopefully with more dialogue and emotional weight then "I need to pray... You're pretty but nah... Marry me?"

 

 

As for ALL other combos, they are tiered like this:

DWARF

HUMAN

ELF

 

All half-races appear to be SOLEY as one and no matter HOW many of a lower tier reproduces the higher one always trumps. That is, a human-elf will also be human and all descendants will be human. A dwarf-elf will be dwarven and all descendants will be dwarven.

As for human/dwarf, no direct confirmation is made but I BELIEVE dwarf is the higher teir since the carta weren't sure if Sandal's other parent was human or elven. If human was dominant, they'd know it would have to be elven. Human/dwarf could even be on the SAME tier, expressing both sides equally. (The carta could merely be ignorant, so take from this that elf is ALWAYS bottom tier).

[n7stormrunner]

There's Sandal. (Well, probably. The Carta dwaves in Legacy talk about him being an Aeducan bastard whose mother was either a human or an elf. Whether this explains anything about Sandal remains to be seen.)

 

 

it's implied but not confirmed. and outside his eccentricity, which in da: o bodahn said that could be explained by him being lyrium addled, he seem to be just a dwarf.

 

though that probably doesn't cover the really strange parts. I'm inclined to say he's a dwarf or like with human/elf pairings it doesn't matter because one side is dominant... that could add weight to the idea his mother is a elf.

Thats a popular fan theory based on a book character, but its far from being canon. Its based entirely on the one of the books where Maric has a bastard son by an elven Grey Warden named Fiona. There are three problems with this theory. The first is that the book never states that the bastard is Alistair. The second is that real kings occasionally had multiple mistresses and multiple bastards. Henry I of England is thought to have sired anywhere between 20 and 25 bastards, and Charles II fathered at least 20, 14 of which he officially acknowledged. Its entirely possible as well that Maric could have fathered multiple bastards, and that Alistair has half-brothers or half-sisters. And finally, we are told in game that Alistair's mother was a servant in Redcliffe castle.

 

In game canon (the highest level of canon in the DA series, IMO) is that he is Goldanna's mother's son. Until that gets retcon'd in a DA game, his family is entirely human.

[Former_Fiend]

In game it's mentioned that Alistair was born before Queen Rowan died. In the book, Rowan had been dead for a few years before Fiona had her child.

If concepts for Qunari stayed the same as DAO, then it might have.
They were basically just bigger and stronger humans if Sten's appearance can be considered as a norm for all Qunari, but since Bioware changed them to a horned purple people (more like orcs), I doubt they could reproduce with other race.

Sten wasn't meant to be the norm; the original intention was horned individuals, but they couldn't be bothered to customize all the helmets.

 

I also think your comparison to orcs is interesting, considering half-orcs are one of the more common fantasy races, arguably more so than half-elves.
