Which is why I doubt any possible implementation for them in game.

 

At this point, it seems like there would have to be a specific reason for a desire demon to appear to someone as male. It doesn't seem feasible for Bioware to try to figure out the orientation of every PC, and then of course there's the possibility of the PC not having a gender preference because of bisexuality or asexuality or what have you. 

 

Although I suppose we could get one who's trying to appeal to an NPC...but I don't see Bioware going to all that trouble to make a new enemy appearance for that.

 

Not that you were bringing up any of this...I'm just speculating. 

 

Actually it depends on when in the game the incident happens. I'd think that they could very well trigger something based off of your LI selection. This certainly isn't error proof and I can think of numerous examples right now that might make it problematic as far as implementation, but I think it IS within the realm of possibility.

 

I thought they had an interesting idea with the fade at Adamant and those fear spiders that appeared. The player sees spiders, but we learn from the various NPCs with us that they saw other forms, such as maggots. It might have been nice to covertly obtain clues from the player earlier on in the game so they could be tailored to our PC as well, but the general idea was sound. I do hope they continue working on other variable encounters like this.

Wouldn't that be the sixth race? You're forgetting the mysterious Fex from Par Vollen?

Beat me to it.

 

 

I think the Fex are just hornless Qunari. I kind of got the hint that the Qunari did something to mess with their DNA, but this is theory mixed with Iron Bull's thoughts on dragons.

I doubt sten was Fex since World of Thedas said they prefer hornless qunari for ben-hassrath operations on thedas since they seem less threatening.

 

Also I think the whole talk about DNA, them being like raging beasts, and the original kossith is just foreshadowing for the explanation for why the Qunari invaded Par-Vollen and for all we know abandoned their original homeland. And the Fex were there before the Qunari got there since in an interview with David Gaider for DA2 he said they were the native people of Par-Vollen, and since the Qunari arrived in Par-Vollen for the first time in the tower age (But a Kossith settlement was in ferelden for a short time before it was destroyed by darkspawn sometime during the first blight.), there is most likely no DNA in common between the Fex and the Qunari/Kossith.

there are numerous statues (normally around blood mage hide outs) that show that one female looking creature with obvious big wings. Wish I had a screen shot. I know there is one in the Blood Mage hideout in that "abandoned building" location in Denerim in DAO. But they are all over the place.

Exactly, the modern horned Qunari being descended from an ancient, shady magical experiment would be a major source of shame for those in the know (such as the Tamassrans) and it would explain why they have such an knee-jerk reaction to any kind of magic whatsoever, to the point where they don't even train their Saarebas to become healers as that would necessitate them drawing upon Spirits of the Fade?

 

It would also possibly explain what happened to the Kossith and/or the race that once inhabited Par Vollen, and why Bull believes that why the Qunari needed the Qun to survive, as their draconic natures were causing them to destroy themselves through sheer infighting and a lack of control?

So the theory is that a boat of Kossith was exiled from across the sea. The Fex saw the group as gods, and used dragons blood and blood mage magic to become the Qunari we see now. I could stand to think the exiled Kossih were kill when this happen, or they and the remaining Fex made the Qun to contain the chaos. when the Kossith died out, the Qunari found what items the Kossith had with them in the crossing starting a technological renaissance. Is this the idea of the events that happen before the Tower Age?

Nah, I figure that perhaps the Kossith experimented with dragons and perhaps spread across the sea, but destroyed themselves with infighting in Par Vollen and died out, leaving the Fex (who are either related to them or just their servants) as the sole survivors on that island.

 

The Kossith colony across the sea where the Qunari came from, started to destroy themselves in the same way, so the Qunari left, arrived back in Par Vollen and were mistaken for their ancestors by the Fex?

 

Of course, it's probably all just wild mass guessing?

That is fun part about theories. You play a game twenty questions and make a story.

It does make me wonder about the Fex though, why they're kept so secret by the Qunari?

 

Or they're not secret at all and as Bull says, we're just making the Qunari out to be far more complicated and mysterious than they really are?

On the up side it leaves us with an open ended question to be answered as more games and books come out.

At this point, I think the Qunari are just Thedas' biggest trolls and are actively giving out false info about themselves to mess with bas.

I thought this was Dragon Age's biggest troll.
