I have always been fascinated by this stange culture and hopefully Inquisition gives us more information regarding them. My main question is, will they involve themselves in the gameand in what form?
We learned that the Iron Bull is a Ben Hassrath who has been sending the Qunari reports on Orlesian nobles. He is open regarding his espionage and may cause concerns down the road.
This is intriguing but remember there are other spies as Tallis stated throughout Thedas, feeding them info.
With the Chantry, there main opposing faction in tatters and Orlais, the most powerful nation in civil war, now would be an excellent opportunity to invade.
So will we see another Qunari invasion, or will they pursue more subtle actions?
How will this affect a Qunari Inquisitor?

[Samahl]

I think the Qunari invasion will be dealt with in a separate game. Dragon Age has been building up to the mage-templar conflict since Origins, but they've also been building up to a Qunari war. The thing is, though, it seems like it'd be overkill to have them invade while all this other stuff is happening all across Thedas, y'know?

[Sir Froggie]

The Qunari are like winter, we're always told that they're coming but they never seem to get here.

[godModeAlpha]

Yea, there is deffinately something to ponder here, reading about IronBull, it says he can provide some sort of info from his spy network. Seems like there is more this specific qunari is doing.

Why do the qunari want information about the nobles?

[Lukas Trevelyan]

Qunari war will probably be built up more in this game, but we won't see the invasion yet.

Once they'll get there though, ****'s going to hit the fan and paint the Mona Lisa on a wall, eh?

I wonder how strong such a qunari force could get in the next game(s)...

Didn't it previously require (nearly?) every nation in Thedas to even the odds against the Qunari last time? I imagine, if and when they arrive, that they'll be a formidable enemy.

I think that the Qunari are one of the most interesting and unique things about dragon age. I'd love for a future game to focus on an invasion.

I'm hoping we'll see a female qunari NPC. It'd be weird for the only female qunari model used to be for the protagonist, no?

[Feybrad]

It was in another Topic that someone posted the idea of an Ending Shot for Inquisition similar to Mass Effect 2 - Countless Qunari Ships on their Way to Thedas. While I don't think that this is exactly what will happen, I think it will be similar. The Qunari Invasion will not happen in Inquisition, but afterwards I think it is imminent. Especially since it is suspected, that Tevinter may be a major antagonistic Force - meaning they suffer great losses - thus weakening their Hold against the Qunari.

Unless she's vashoth, any female qunari NPCs will likely be few and far between, unfortunately. Qunari society and culture is patriarchal and repressive - not many female qunari are going to be found very far from the motherland. Tallis was a bit of an exception on the front, I believe.

I'm not going to get into an argument with you about the patriarchal thing, but yes it would be rare to see any qunari so far outside of Qunari controlled territory. Still, I'd like to see one. They might as well if they have the model for it.

[Jedi Master of Orion]

One thing I suppose I'm concerned about is if they do another Qunari invasion story is that they'd massively condense it's scale and threat in order for a single player character to be able to stop.

 

The Qunari Wars were a century and half long conflict that changed the status quo of Thedas while it lasted it. A true return to form for the Qunari should be no less.

[Steelcan]

I don't think a game concerning a qunari invasion would be a good idea, as was mentioned above the last war lasted for over a century, can't realy condense that into one game

And the Fourth Blight lasted 12 years. Didn't stop Origins from being a good game, did it?

Not in this game. You really don't want to clog up your narrative by having the qunari invade on top of an army of demons.

 

Besides, the qunari want as little to do with demons and magic as possible. Them trying to take over the southern lands just makes the Breach into THEIR problem.

Let's not forget DA2 had a Qunari style invasion and a Mage v Templar war in the same game

[Steelcan]

fair enough, but a Blight is always stopped by a single person when it comes down to it, also it was mentioned that the Blight hadn't really gotten going yet, it was still in its very early stages

[Steelcan]

Let us not point to DA2 for an example of a game that should be emulated, several of its problems can be traced back to trying to do too much

[Samahl]

Both were contained to one city, though. The mage-templar conflict is all across Thedas in Inquisition, and it'd presumably be the same for any future qunari wars.

No but the Fifth Blight was just a tiny blip in the history of the war with the darkspawn though. All the darkest struggles and greatest glories were still in the stories of the past. The Hero of Ferelden had the least grand adventure in compared to their predecessors.

[Vaseldwa]

Yea I don't think we will see the evasion any time soon (unless they DLC it, but I doubt it), but I wouldn't be surprised if we have to fight them in some form or another in DAI. I mean there has to be a reaction from them about a vashoth mage at the head of an organization (or a mage period), beside the templars who will no doubt freak out in some way. Which begs the question, will us being a mage cause IB to attack us when we first meet? Or be very weary and slow to trust? hmmm something to think about.

[Mukora]

Would Sten even want to invade now, though? Yeah, he still believes in the Qun, but I like to think his time with the Warden taught him that not all bas need to be converted.

[Jedi Master of Orion]

No. That's absolutely contrary to the Qun. If he believed that not all bas needed to be converted he'd probably be removed from his position by the Ben'Hassrath and reeducated. 

 

Although he never claimed he ever believed otherwise. At the end of Origins he still says he will be back with an invasion. He just hopes he won't have to personally fight the Warden.

[Mukora]

I always assumed he was just resigned to the idea that the current Arishok would send an invasion.

 

Now that he's Arishok, that doesn't need to happen.

I guess, but I don't see why a qunari invasion couldn't be condensed in a similar way.
