I've been reading some stuff on these forums about the difference between reactions to certain races, but most of it has to do with sex or cross breeding. I want to know what you think the differences in actual storylines will be. Will elves and mages have a harder time getting the respect of their soldiers? Will npcs be afraid of a Qunari Inquisitor, thinking he follows the Qun? Are dwarves going to have an easier time getting the Merchant Guild to make deals with them, or a harder one? Can you advocate killing all the mages while actually playing a mage, and if so, will people call you on it? There's a lot of possibilities, but I don't know how much will be implemented; resources aren't infinite after all.

I think that advocating all mages be killed while being a mage wouldn't be tricky.  The Inquisitor is a special snowflake that has a unique power needed in this dire time and conflict.  So, even if you advocate to kill all mages, regardless of what people may think of you or your imposed decisions, everyone still *needs* you. After the conflict, that's a different story.

I know they said it will be especially challenging for players who choose Qunari Inquisitors.

Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out what a Kossith would be doing at that peace summit. In any case, I think it would be the most difficult for the Kossith Inquisitor, with the Dalish running second, dwarf third and human last.

As the Inquisitor you possess weird Fade powers, whether you were a mage or not.
I'm curious to see how that affects how other characters see you, and perhaps even how you see yourself. Imagine how traumatizing such a connection could be for a dwarf, who has never known the Fade, compared to a mage for whom the Fade will be familiar.

...oh, who am I kidding. It will all be avoided by convenient amnesia.

Dev said, along time ago, that the race issue will be mostly present in the first half of the game, when you are building up the Inquisition. After that, you are established has the BDH and nobody care. Well, almost nobody.

I was in a cage was i not?

 

What were you doing in that cage?

 

Sitting

Heh, would indeed be amusing if you were at the peace summit caged. And he was obviously standing!

[mlgumm]

Oh, I really hope we can address the oddness of being a dwarf with a fade connection. Maybe even a dwarven mage of sorts, like Sandal. Ooh, enchantment!

[Wolfen09]

If thats the case, then the one time i make a dwarf will be this game...  i will make him look like sandal and name him sandal and kill everything

Actually, I could totally see the Qunari having representation at the summit (with your character, a Vashoth, as their liaison).  They're not an entirely unreasonable people.

Representing a Vashoth community perhaps

The Qunari would never have anyone outside of the Qun be their representatives, they'd rather send their own men instead. There's a reason why Sten traveled all the way from Seheron to Ferelden. The reason for a Kossith to be there is probably something unrelated to Qunari.

that maybe so, but you got to understand, 90% of thedas hates them... so unless you are there representing ways to deal with the qunari threat, i dont see them inviting one

They meant Qunari as a race, no one uses kossith, not even the devs.

The general concensus on the forums seems be Qunari - members of the Qun, qunari - grey-skinned giants.

 

And I think a qunari Inquisitor will be at the summit as a member of security, hired-swords. Although having the qunari Inquisitor start off in a cage a la Sten would be awesome.

 

I could see qunari having the most problems, followed by elves. Dwarves and humans will probably have the easiest time of it. Mages will have an all-around issue, of course.

[TurretSyndrome]

I assumed the person was talking about the Qunari as a religion. WoT used Kossith to refer to the race every now and then and some users use Kossith as well. Let's not get into that whole "Kossith is wrong and no one uses it" argument shall we?

[Wolfen09]

i would think the elves would have a hard time thanks to the rebellion going on... dwarves, i cant say because we never really saw any discriminative evidence in the books or games against them

[Giggles_Manically]

I thought that Cameron Lee said that in some cases people would back away in fear from a Qunari Inquisitor in an interview?

[Vaseldwa]

I want to know how they are going to explain a dwarf useing a magical ability, unless we are inhabited by some powerful fade spirit!

[Vaseldwa]

I think playing as a mage regardless of race will be difficult, due to the situation in the game right now. Qunari will have a difficult time regardless of class, but being a Qunari mage well things will most likely be near impossible kinda having a nightmare feel to it even if your playing on casual know what I mean!

[Wolfen09]

maybe they will class restrict the dwarf inquisitor, kind of like they did in origins

[CARPOOL]

I'm wonder how difficult is difficult, concerning playing a Qunari Inquisitor, which I believe is the term being used in this thread. (Or any of the other races at that.) People backing away from you in fear would be one amusing reaction, for sure, but it is purely speculation until we have solid evidence. I'm just wondering about any blatant barring of opportunities or how many backflips you'll have to do before a race and/or factions trusts you and/or lends you aid.

When I played a female/ city-elf/ rogue in Origins, I recall some remarks being made concerning my warden's gender and race, but I don't ever remember (for example) being denied access to somewhere that another race was allowed into. However, I haven't played Origins in a while, so my memory is a bit fuzzy. I wonder if it's anything like in Mass Effect where Shepard had to do a bunch of backflips for the other alien races in order to get their aid. Or if it's possibly like Skyrim, where anyone who wasn't an Orc was kicked out of their stronghold until they retrieved a certain item. (Therefore proving themselves worthy)

That would be great, if so. The Qunari can be somewhat intimidating to the other races, so seeing that come across in the body language and/or dialogue of NPCs would be terrific.
