Hm... I agree, although the idea of the franchise actually ending makes me kind of sad...

Sorry

Despite the bulk of the Qunari being across a sea, im really hoping we get a good bit of information about them. With Iron Bulls loyalty being a bit shaky, it would be cool if he shared some secrets or details about the Qunari weaknesses....(Just kidding they have no weaknesses)

Hm... it's possible that Iron Bull might betray the Qun if we are able to turn him during his personal questline.  I doubt he knows the recipe for gatlok, but he might be able to share some insight on their overall military strength.  Too bad the Qunari didn't keep their spy on a tighter leash if he turns out to be a traitor... they're supposed to be far too cunning to make that kind of mistake.  Perhaps he's a triple agent who only pretends to be disloyal in the hope of feeding us false information?  I think I like that idea more than the Qunari letting Iron Bull run wild if he had any information that could be used against them... did they never notice that he was becoming unstable?

I do believe that's Satan.

 

I tend to see him or her in the people who believe they can and should do wrong because no one will oppose them, in this Satan is all of us. Except me. I'm a saint, hence im hated by everyone.

I think the war is a good premise for the last game in the series. That way dramatic world changes won't matter as much and people will be able side with the Qunari without destroying the universe for any future DA related media.

 

I don't think so. After all, they've been hinting at a Qunari war for some time, yet in no game so far it's been presented as the end of Thedas as we know it. Just a very big war. Perfect for another game, to have an interesting conflict. I mean, a Mage-Templar conflict was also being hinted for some time and it seems it will end in DA:I.

 

Blights, on the other hand, are more fearsome than anything the Qunari can come up with. If there's a "war to end all wars" that may put an end to the series, I think that could be another Blight. After all, there are still two Old Gods that can be tainted.

I don't know if Blights are worse, when all is said and done the Blight ends when you kill the Archdemon, you can commando strike it. The war with the Qunari won't end until the Qunari are eliminated.

IMO the Qunari war would be an epic ending to the series.  Theres a lot of potential there.  BUT  They have to allow the PC to side with the Qun.  If it ends up being Elves, dwarves, humans, and every other stick and twig in all of Thedas vs the Qunari? Ugh how much more cliche and lame can you get.  If done correctly though just think how amazing that could be and what the alliances would be like and how much content and playthroughs and decisions could be in that? 

 

I want the dwarves to submit!  We will take the casteless if the ruling class wish death.

If the qunari invasion is the premise of the next game, which would be very interesting imo, they'll still have one more to do before they end the series.

They have a 5 game plan:

I think game 4 should be about taking those arrogant slaver mages that brought the Blight upon us and look up to dragons which are easily taken out all the time....and wiping them off the map.

It's not really about the war itself as much as it is about the decisions that can be made during said war. A Blight is terrible yes, but once it's done it is relatively easy to go back to the status quo. A Qunari invasion however will drastically change the universe one way or another.

 

There are plenty of people on these boards who love the Qunari and would love to side with them in the long run. There are also people who want the Qunari wiped from the planet which is probably the only way to stop the Qunari at this point. With a blight I don't think a lot of people really want to help the darkspawn and Bioware could easily get away with not giving us a choice about slaughtering another darkspawn horde

[Mistic]

I don't know if Blights are worse, when all is said and done the Blight ends when you kill the Archdemon, you can commando strike it. The war with the Qunari won't end until the Qunari are eliminated.

 

Then how come the Qunari Wars ended with a peace treaty? Qunari are people that can be talked to and can negotiate. They are also people that don't want the world to disappear.

 

Meanwhile, the darkspawn aren't interested in negotiating or in peace treaties. They consume the very land they live in. Killing an Archdemon is not easy. As seen in the same DA:O that began this adventure, they usually travel with the heart of the horde. How can you commando strike it? By disguising yourself as darkspawn?

 

Not to talk about the concept of Blight being an illusion. When an Archdemon rises, the darkspawn head for the surface. But during all those centuries between blights, they attack the dwarves. The day Orzammar falls is the day that the surface has to fight a continuous Blight.

 

Also, why are some people thinking that the only way to stop the Qunari is killing them? And that only that way things will change? I mean, even the Old Tevinter Imperium changed and it wasn't wiped out.

The games shouldn't be about lining up all the "big bads" of Thedas and having a PC knock them down one by one. Everyone is connected. So these things aren't necessarily separate. If there is a story about a Qunari invasion, it should also be about the fall of Tevinter.

[Master Warder Z_]

The only peace the Qunari deserve is the peace of the grave.

[EmperorSahlertz]

The Qunari are never, mark my words, NEVER going to be portrayed as the "big bad" in any of the games. Just like Tevinter isn't going to either. Tevinter, Qunari, Dalish, Orlais all of them are a PEOPLE, and they will never try to portray an entire people as "evil", "bad" or "wrong". They may use factions within each of these people, and portray them as the "bad guys" (like the Venatori for Tevinter), but never the entire people.

 

That being said, the Qunari may or may not feature prominently in the future games. Since they are one of the aspects of DA that is unique. It would be a waste not to explore the Qunari in more detail down the line.

If I recall correctly, that is the reason he is no longer under strict authority of the Qun. Something, at some point, "broke" him, but his fellow Qunari dubbed him too valuable of an asset to lose. Instead he was sent to Orlais to observe and report and reporting back to the Ban-Hassrath is something he continues to do even after years of separation. Frankly, I'm interested to see how his character plays out. It seems like Iron Bull is in some strange limbo, both tied to and distanced from the Qun.

Maybe not the big bad, but any of them can be featured as antagonists.

In that case, he can't really have any dangerous knowledge floating around in his head or they probably wouldn't have sent him on any more missions... even if he does betray the Qunari in the end, I doubt Thedas or the Inquisition will learn much from him.

[EmperorSahlertz]

Of course. They already featured Qunari as antagonists in DA2, so that shouldn't come as a surprise. But neither of them are going to be the villains of a game.

I do wonder just how "Villainous" the Elder One and the Venatori are going to turn out to be.

Just cause it was said they had plans up to Dragon Age 5 doesn't mean 5 will be the last game

I'd say so.

Agreed. I feel as though Iron Bull's story will focus more on him redefining his identity rather than any possible Qunari secrets/points of interests.
