I'm inclined to think the Qunari are blowing a lot of smoke either way.

The big problem I see with a Qunari invasion is I really wouldn't feel all that great about killing them versus demons or Darkspawn.

They're just people.

 

It's a war, not heroism and while heroism can exist in war--it's more often a tragedy.

 

I actually agree with you, not on killing them mind you i honestly wouldn't care.

 

Their ideology offends me, but on that its just war.

 

There isn't glory, honor or heroics, its a struggle between two opposing ideologies, on methods of governance nothing more.

da5 at the latest, im thinking tevinter will be the setting for the next game (maybe its destruction by the qunari?), and the end of that game will setup the invasion in 5.  How this will be done idk, as i would much rather see par vollen than some of the other places....

This will be especially interesting if you play as a Qunari Inquisitor. People will suspect you of being a spy and you'll be even more persecuted. You might even defect and help them. I wonder if Iron Bull can give us a better insight into Qunari society.

Why would they want to invade a demon-infested hellmouth? If I were ariwhatever, I'd stay away from a place where you can't take two steps without all kinds of icky demonblobs spawning all around, not to mention lyrium crazed templars and mages who are just crazed.

If the Qunari invasion occurs as a storyline, and that is a big if, I am not convinced it will ever be more then a future concern plot point, then I find it far more likely the game will start after the invasion has pushed into Thedas a fair bit.  I could even see us come from an area that has been conquered by the Qunari and we are trying to escape or some such.

 

From what they have said, I really don't see them being able to make a functioning game where we play from the Qunari perspective as an RPG.  I could see it being an action/adventure type of game, where you are given missions to achieve similar to the LOTR games from way back when, but I can see it functioning in the DA RPG format.

I suspect that a Qunari Invasion would have to start with the removal of the Imperium and the capture of Tevinter, otherwise it would have an enemy at it's flank and that hurt them badly during the last war.

 

But the problem with that is, the fall of the Imperium would likely be witnessed across Thedas, Antiva, Nevarra and even Orlais trades with them.

 

There really can be no surprise for Thedas, and that is something that would be critical for a successful Qunari Invasion, But the problem we face here is we do not know the number of ships the Qunari possess, nor their number of troops.

 

I couldn't even tell you if they have the logistical basis or manpower to conquer Thedas.

 

They failed utterly last time, in no small part due to just the sheer numeric superiority of Thedosians.

 

Oh I do not doubt that it would end in a sad failure (sad because a lot of casualties, military and civilian, would be incurred on both sides, not because I wish for the qunari to win, it is not a fun idea from a storytelling viewpoint). But I would like to see how it pans out nonetheless. 

 

I agree that there is no way that the fall of Tevinter would go unnoticed but it does open up a nice possibility, much as I like Bioware storytelling it has always frustrated me that the people of Tevinter were always seen as these consistently evil types until Maevaris and Dorian came along. I don't like my villains, be it one person or a nation, to be so black and white. A Qunari destruction of the Imperium could very well do for their people what the Reaper invasion did for the batarians, showed that for the whole that the people were just as varied as everybody else but had suffered under a cruel government that seemed to revel in engendering hatred towards them. The one thing that saddened me most about that was that so many were killed for such a possibility to occur.

 

I think another reason that the qunari invasion may just fail is that as a whole what little we have seen from the Qun seems to suggest that they suffer from a crippling overspecialisation, as it were, and are not very capable when they are cut off from the rest of the body. That was witnessed by the people of the Free Marches, I doubt highly that any good military leader would let such vital information pass by them.

If it does happen, the story will likely revolve around stopping the war not waging it.    The Qunari ideology tends to make players into great fans or passionate enemies who oppose it.     Writing such a story would be extremely difficult.    How do you walk that line that keeps both groups with very stark differences in worldview happy with it?  

 

This in a nutshell was the whole problem with the ME3 endings.   People are different and think of things completely different as 'right' and 'wrong'.

The main problem with the ME3 endings was their completely destroying the awesome universe that was established, and making all the world altering changes, alliances ect completely irrelevant all in that single moment.  Basically made everything you accomplished feel meh, and if you had grown to love the setting, ripped the whole thing apart forever.
