Qunari, they're basically muslims without the child rape. Or they were at least, no fucking clue what the faggot on the left is now. They're extremely dogmatic, enslave magic users, sexism, racism etc.
> Meanwhile, the one on the left looks like some twink you find at some mage's cellar waiting for his master to blow his asshole out
That's basically all bioware makes now, because their staff are just degenerate thots and troons. There is no talent or creativity left in that company.
I just don't get how a game with more development time, a lot more money and a higher baseline for graphics degraded this much in 13 years. I mean look at this shit, what the fuck.
Is that supposed to be some sort of demonic race or something like that. Because the guy in the right looks like someone that would snap your spine with his bare hands if you looked at him funny.

@Sui@Morghur The uncanny valley character design, every fantasy race having human racial separation, writing directly referring current Neo-Liberal ideology...
This doesn't even feel like a video game anymore, it feels like you are playing a D&D campaign with a bunch of randoms from university who can't help but always write an annoying self-insert.
@sickburnbro It really bothered them that the majority of tieflings (as originally written by Wolfgang Baur no two were alike) had obvious grotesque disfigurements that marked them as tainted and told others to avoid them. So that got changed into "cute twinks with horns, teehee"
@sickburnbro@Cleisthenes Yup. First Edition Pathfinder did justice to the original concept. Some of their later rules allowed you to customize both tieflings and aasimar based on the supernatural being in your family tree. You could have tieflings descended from Japanese oni or rakshasas, which functioned very differently from the classic versions and had different powers
yeah in the Pathfinder game, Wrath of the Righteous, they have a race called "Mongrels" which are basically an afflicted species seen as grotesque who live underground. It also puts you in control of a literal crusade to kill demons. One of the mongrels attached
@Decayable@Sui@Aviz@DEERBLOOD@Morghur Cole was a blast to have in your party in DA: I just for the way he freaked out all the other characters. Particularly Blackwall.
Sten was great, I didn't play female characters but he'd always give you shit until you'd earned his respect. I didn't play 3, definitely not gonna now.
The Qunari in 2 were probably the only + I can give that game over origins lol, their disdain for humans is hilarious. They just want to either gtfo and go home, or go Total Human Death. Also they put more time into developing them into a fantasy race past "brown guy in a cage".
It's great too because Sten became the hornless Arishok so in the comics he has stumps and I think they released a patch for DA:O so they don't just look like bigger grey humans.
The shitty thing about DA:I is there's fun parts and some characters are well written but even back then the beginning was taking hold. Cassandra was wide jawed even back then and people made mods to make her gay or bi because she was super straight, but Dorian the gay faggot couldn't have a straight or gay mod because that's bigoted and at least the Cremisius pooner you only really found was a pooner if you pried they didn't shove it down your throat. I wish the 4th game was an exalted march from the tevinter imperium fighting the quinari and a bloody dark conflict or fuck even going to Nevarran because you could do so much with a place where necromancy would be bad since they have a while second city filled with their dead and seeing mages and blood mages in that environment would be so fucking interesting. And both could tie in Solas and his stupid shit. They fucked up the elves so hard by 2
But I guess I should be glad they didn't dirty that shit.
@Sui@Aviz@Morghur What's funny is that given the plot of VG, the qunari are vindicated. At least they would be if they hadn't turned them into whatever they are now
Sten in DA:O even asks why the fuck you are a warrior if you're a woman. Iron bulls whole Cream you're a real hekking valid man, was a little bullshit but he was also a cringe outlier who cared about his non-qun following team even letting a mage live without sewing it's eyes and mouth shut. They didn't even have cookies because they never discovered using leftover dough they were so efficient.
The arishok in 2 was likable as fuck because he followed the qun so hard and refused to leave the place they were occupying because his belief was so strong
Hot take but the gay faggots in inquisition were at least likable and the quinari didn't look like melted playdough.
@Sui@Aviz@Morghur Yeah I'd forgotten about your first point too. Can't have a race that's just inherently evil, although I wouldn't say the qunari were "evil" in DAO or even in DA2
Alignment/morality gets awkward fast. Generally it's just good = yay humanity and evil = boo humanity. The Qunari aren't fond of humans, they are pretty much just waiting for an excuse for their jihad to overrun all human civilizations. The ones that rebelled against the anti-human religion, still just act like bandits and are more than happy to slaughter humans. They just want more freedom.
They also can't just let races be hostile or evil, like Tolkien orcs, because of their ideology.
That "they/them" would've been executed by any DA1 or DA2 Qunari, even the Tal Vashoth (ones that rebel from the Qun) wouldn't let that creature survive.
Always Hawke, always practically the same ending, always the same dungeons, always the same plot points (Like your mom getting frankensteined). There was more variation in the first 10-20 minutes of Origins than the entirety of 2.
Edit: Just remembered the sibling bit was by class not sex.
Couldn't even make a character, you were always hawke in his predetermined path. I hated it so much lol, press one button to auto target and attack and the conversation options were nuked because of voice acting.. Euch..
i played it a while after it released honestly. da2 just felt like. to me anyway. all it was, was making a character and playing through the same game. and it was not difficult at all.
I started with 2 because it was a gift from my dad, played it and started a second playthrough right away then moved back to origins. I bought the collector's edition for inquisition because it had tarot cards but the rest of it was cheap shitty garbage, like a fake lockpick set and plastic coins. Couldn't even use real metal it's a travesty
So they will essentially mindrape you with their filth you like it or not. How charming... Because if you could do a straight only run on that garbage heap of a game it would be an achievement on its own.
Imagine, like in Dishonored you get an achivement for not killing anyone, in this you get an achivement for not engaging in faggotry
Damn, so much fun will be lost because of this... Still, i also think it was genuine. After all the shit we've seen and heard about this trash game, i woulf be genuinely curious if you can actually do a straight only playthrough without any sort of gay crap. I'm very intrigued to know if it's possible or not
Yeah I think they were being genuine too. Steam's own tranny jannies swept this one up, it wasn't the dev's. They're getting more and more active with this kinda shit I've noticed.
