The qunari already have limited (and unique!) skin tones because lore. While we've only seen white-haired qunari thus far, I'm glad they expanded the hair color options. It's still limited, so presumably it still fits into the lore.
That's true

A rough photoshop on my part (I am not an artist. Be kind.) but this would have been my ideal femqunari. I would have changed her skin color to something darker, though. I really wanted earplating or some kind of wrapping jewelry for the ear (hence the dragon earring). I was in love with the idea of ram's horns until I saw the hair options. The ram's horns look coolest (to me) nestled against a badass hawk. See, this hawk is much bigger than the one in the CC. And it's more than a hawk, it has braiding etc. The ram's horns paired with the styles they're anchored to remind me too much of Princess Leia from the side.
I dunno. This rough design is overall perfect to me. Wished I could have somehow recreated it in CC.
To clarify, I would never create a qunari inquisitor with blonde, red, or brown hair.
But I would never advocate restricting those colors from other players.
Well except I might go blonde (that accursed tease tarot card and it's long flowing blond hair).
But white and black is pretty much my go to.
No issue really, we are are pretty much agreeing.
My first post was taking issue with people *not* buying the game over hair. Just seemed like a serious overreaction.
Customizing their characters is serious business to some people. Hardly a majority but *shrug*

DAT HAWK
I, too, wanted a cool-looking mohawk design. Shaved on the sides, maybe, and the hawk is a braid (because I wanted a braid motif for all my Inquisitors)
And honestly? I love the idea of any braiding (much like in my picture) with rings/jewelry woven throughout.
Then should we only make the elves having of brown or green hair? The dwarves only red or blonde hair?
Arbitrarily restricting one races hair choices completely is not fair.
It wouldn't be arbitrary. All the qunari we have seen so far in game and in concept art and comics have had white hair, except that one da2 concept with a black haired qunari.
That doesn't mean qunari couldn't have other hair colours but it seems like the vast majority of them have white hair. White, black and grey would have made perfect sense as the only hair options. I'm not saying they were wrong to add more options or that people should be restricted, just that if they were it would be understandable considering previous games and previous designs for the qunari.

Well, considering that long hair has always been depicted for qunari, wouldn't it also be understandable not to give us only cropped short options? ;p

Not really the same thing but yes and that's why I am here. ![]()
Not that I expected a perfect reflection of the concept art with long flowing white hair but it would be nice to at least be able to get close to that. ![]()
It does make me wonder how many qunari npc's there will be in the game and what they will look like. The one's in Da2 had hair but it was quite short.
You've been a forum friend of mine for almost a year, and I've watched you get disappointed left and right. I wish I could do something for you. All I can do, my friend, is this. This is also for all the folks that have been frustrated over the hair:
Aw, thank you Natashina. ![]()

True, but the Arishok's went down to his shoulders, which is fairly long for DA.
Exactly!!
it is not Qunari without long hair!!!
QUNARI = LONG WHITE HAIR RACE
are all staffs creating the qunari race blind???
Mostly just because they were still being worked on. It would have done no one any favours to show incomplete long hair only for it to not be in the game at all for release.
I can understand that people are going to be disappointed because they were hoping for something different or more, but as you say concept art is concept art and that's the starting point for coming up with a vision, but there's still a full process of putting it into the game. Hopefully with systems in place we can do more going forward.
No, we are not hoping something different or more, it is something IT IS, IT SHOULD BE, since the qunari ARE ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL LONG HAIR in NOVELS,COMICS,YOUR CONCEPT ARTS,AND THE HOLE DRAGON AGE 2

I'm not saying there shouldn't have been longer hairs. But just saying 'All qunaris should have long white hair and anything less is bad' Is ridiculous, I don't think you have any idea how much work actually goes into making long hair look good and flow properly. It's incredibly difficult to do.
Better yet, throwing a temper tantrum like you're doing is not the way to go about this.

A little overzelous there, m'dear.

Exactly, thank you. Accusations will get us nowhere.
Polite requests and detailed explanations and compromises will hopefully get us where we need/want to be.
I'm not personally thrilled about hair colour options for qunari. I haven't seen qunari who doesn't have white or grey hair and to me the hair color seems crucial part of the race so all my qunaris will have white hair. People can of cource chose other color if they want but it's not something I'll do.
Yeah I like longer hair yelling at the devs is not the way to get it done.
That said the Qunari hair we do have is ![]()

I find the white to be glaring, so I plan on going with a softer blonde. To me it's not about making my PC perfectly precise to the lore, but what is asthetically pleasing to me.

Not to.. pop your balloon but I'm pretty sure blonde isn't an option...
I haven't seen any notices of colour being restricted in the CC. Please link me if I've missed something.

I agree with this. Really bright white hair never looks good to me in-game, so I'll probably go with a light blonde or something similar if they have it. Heck, maybe even grey.

I thought I saw blonde when they were going through colors on the stream. I could be wrong though.

I may even end up going with a light brunette or even a redhead. It all depends on what catches my eye when I go into the CC.
They start going through Qunari hair colours at approx 23:12. I think there's soft/light blondes in there but your mileage may vary.
