Bioware Games Thread - Always waiting

It's not the Qunari with horns you need to worry about. It's the ones without horns you need to worry about.

I'm so glad we're getting a unicorn, you have no idea. XD And people said no when I suggested it last year...

Random, but am I the only one a little bothered just by how freakishly huge Iron Bull's horns are??? Crazy. You do know what they say about men with big horns though

Wow how did I not even notice that? They are HUGE xD I also didn't notice that he apparently has an eyepatch now! That gets a +10 from me XD I love eyepatches!

I can't wait to see a picture of the unicorn! Super excited you can get a Halla too!


http://misspiggy385.tumblr.com/post/838 ... -this-once okay, so THAT'S the reason we didn't get it this week. I feel better now knowing they are still coming hopefully soon!

@Ronin - Sten: "No." :p

[Ronin19]

Hornless Qunari are rare and there are some Qunari who cut their horns off. Hornless Qunari are considered dangerous and as a result Qunari cut the horns off of their Saarebas's. I found that interesting.

Spoiler:

If Sten can make it to the title of Arishok then he is dangerous!

Looking through the DA wiki, I find it interesting the Qunari Inquisitor is apparently Vashoth because they were never introduced to the Qun rather than leaving it. A bit odd since I think Thedas is the Qunari hotspot? Well, it's quite possible the Qunari Inquisitor had vashoth parents but ehhhh, I'm not too keen on that. I know it's probably to justify both genders having the same background, but in that light I really hope for a scene where a female qunari inquisitor can knock a Qun follower in the face after a comment along the lines of, "but women can't be warriors." kekeke

[Ronin19]

Female Qunari Inquisitors will probably still get some hate when they run into Qunaris so I wouldn't worry about that. I chose to be a female Saarebas simply because 1) Qunari are disliked by everyone, 2) Mages are feared by everyone, and 3) female Qunari aren't meant to be warriors. So she'll be judged on everything she is.

Whoa wait you get a unicorn for free?!

But...

But aren't unicorns only seen by pure virginal girls?

Whoa wait you get a unicorn for free?!

Only if you get the deluxe or collector's edition.

What I was trying to get at was it seems Inquisition is going to hit us with a Qunari 101 lesson at some point in the game. Maybe around the time we recruit Iron Bull or somewhere along his side quest (assuming companions have side quests to know more about them). I'm just saying it's just really odd, given the Qunari lore we currently know, for a member of the Qunari (race) to born without knowing the Qunari religion. The only way I can see that happening is for both parents to be tal-vashoth, especially since a QI has a surname (Adaar). Given that we can make a mage QI, it's quite possible one of the parents is even a saarebas. Runaway arvaarad and saarebas couple, maybe?

But aren't unicorns only seen by pure virginal girls?

I think DA unicorns are a bit different from the conventional kind c;

^Or maybe qi's an orphan and didn't grow up with qunari.

[Ronin19]

Which will cause problems when a Qunari Inquisitor runs into their new Arishok

Spoiler:

If I'm right, my canon has Sten as the Arishok based on BioWare's comics. I keep thinking of how Sten will react to seeing a woman Saarebas not chained up if Sten makes an appearance in DAI.

Spoiler:

Maybe after traveling with Morrigan, Leliana, Wynne and (possibly) a female warden, he had a change of heart?

Has everyone seen Morrigan's description from the website?

"Whether the dark-haired sorceress seeks to influence the Imperial throne, or harbors more sinister motives, no-one knows for certain. This Witch of the Wilds arrived in Orlais rather suddenly three years ago as the newly-appointed “arcane advisor” to Empress Celene. In this role, Morrigan presents a source of information unfiltered by religious dogma, and satisfies Celene’s life-long curiosity about magic. However, whispers carry concern of Morrigan having Celene wrapped around her finger, teaching the Empress forbidden, dark arts in secret."

I cannot wait to find out how that all plays out.

[Ronin19]

I saw that earlier, but I wasn't sure what to think of it. Maybe Empress Celeine is a mage and Morrigan is helping her keep it a secret? October 7th! Wherefore art thou?!

[RopeMaidenKirie]

I bought a tablet, so I'm going to be getting all of the DA books later on in the week. I heard The Masked Empire is really good! Anyone else read/ planning on reading it?

Especially interested in the whole Orlais politics/civil war thing. I have a feeling we'll have to pick sides... so I want to be a bit ready for it

[Ronin19]

I really should read the books and comics. I own the first three books, but I haven't read any of them.

[RopeMaidenKirie]

Oh you should! Would be neat to chat with ya'll about the books.

Also Cullen's VA is having way too much fun with the Cullen fanbase on Twitter today

Spoiler:

Any excuse to post my favorite gif lol

It really makes me want to know the other LI's and voice actors so they can start chatting with their respective fanbases too :D
