fenris knowing qunari could be a good little wink that qunari came from the elf race

With the state of DA nowadays we realize that DA2 was actually pretty damn good.

"only me being a dick is the only honorable way. there is no other honor." Qunari summed up. being a efficient dick is still being a dick. the Qunari missed the memo there.

God, I miss this sort of writing. There was more ire in that Dwarf's exit than I've heard in all of Veilguard.

Thank you for doing this. Leave it to me to find a rare pair and get absolutely *obsessed* 😅

“Their actions are mere symptoms. Your society is the disease”. That line cuts deep.

This is a Qunari. What a Qunari!

The fact Tarquin is in essence Tevinter's cassandra is HILARIOUS to me, I think they'd be besties honestly

BY far the best looking Qunari and the absolute best villain in the series.

thenk you for my life

ohhhhhh tarquin calling him "ashur" in the clips from the ending...

I can't believe Tarquin is screwing the black divine

I like that sometimes he just shows genuine anger over being stuck in Kirkwall for years. Hes not just this philosopher everyone thinks he is. He is also human enough to just want to leave

I don't care what anyone says, DA2 had the best character design and dialogue of the entire series, despite it's other shortcomings.

you should try with merril in your group .... -But your feet did nothing!

Kinda crazy they had the perfect design and writing for Qunari but they decided to throw it in the trash so the giant horned communists can be more "relatable" no joke the second i met Iron Bull in inquisition I hated his guts and never used him.

DA2 is so good by comparison

🤢🤮

I can’t believe Ashur is the Black Divine.

I love their cranky old married couple dynamics so much 😭

DA2 may have been the product of horribly rushed production, but the writing did not suffer nearly as much as it did for Veilguard. This is night and day, even considering the formula for exploring the world for Veilguard is likely how I imagined the devs wanted to explore Thedas in DA2. We truly have lost so much in the waiting period for the last decade, what a shame.

Soo... who saw Viper's appearence, heard Matt Merccer's voice work and went. "God dam it not another one..."

this 30 minute conversation video has more soul than the entirety of Veilguard's companions

that voice.....it sounds a lot like legate lanius from fallout new vegas and more importantly, it sounds an awful lot like Mordoc Selanmere, the pale knight from baldur's gate dark alliance 2 my interest is vested and piqued.

Paraphrases: "Our order is imposed by force, but isn't actually force." "If you don't understand it, then I can't explain it." The Qunari are idealogues, able to internalize the cognitive dissonance inherent in their worldview because that worldview is not based on universals.

god’s work. i love them so much. i’ve just been waiting for someone to scrape their dialogue

Huh? I saved Treviso in my playthrough, and Ashur survived through it just fine, got the same cutscene with Tarquin as you have for saving Minrathous. He did get Blighted, but since it's Elgar'nan's Blight, the same as Neve/Bellara get infected with, I assume he gets better once Elgar'nan is dead. But I did have Shadow Dragons' fraction all maxed out by the end of the game, maybe that affects whether he survives or not? Ashur also gets a short cameo in "Tempered soul, everlasting" on Treviso route, but yeah, I guess no Tarquin there.

It's understandable how easily we see the Arishok as a villain based on his actions and belief in the Qun. However, the Arishok did nothing wrong, he performed his duty admirably and I see him as another victim to the crazy shit that was happening in the city :3

FiRsT

It was satisfying to gain his respect then kill him in a one on one duel as a sword and shield knight.

I wouldn’t want his respect. his beliefs in the Qun are extremely contradictory it’s kind of annoying I can’t just slap him during his rants

"One day... we shall return." And they literally never came back. Dragon Age 2 was a great look into the military arm of the Qun. We get basically nothing of it afterwards, just a little bit from Iron Bull, some of which contradicts what we already know. Veilguard...lets not talk about that.

Arishok did nothing wrong

The butcher almost spoke as well as arishok. But still he dies so quickly, i wish we could fight and recruit his faction instead of the crows. But he was blighted for intel

I was too harsh on DA2

The funniest thing is that if the Arishook survives and goes to Par Vollen, gets court Martial'd by the Qun because he set a city on fire and killed a bunch of innocent people because he got robbed by an unrelated party. Then he gets executed and replaced with Sten. If you killed him he still gets denounced by the Qun at large.

Forgot to do the loyalty quest for the Arishok where he comes out as gay to his confused dad.

For all its flaws, the writing was pretty fire!

They basically turned the qunari into tiefling

The worst thing about DA2 was you could tell all the side content was cookie cutter. It always is, but the fact that it was so obvious always broke my immersion. Personally the combat isn’t my favorite but it was still solid.

How am I just now noticing that he sounds like Vin Diesel

I still remember th first time i played DA2 in 2011... I got so hooked to it and when i reached The arishok, I can't find the words to say how much I liked, everything... Then I played origins and while the story was good, i could never get into it fully because i was used to the combat in DA2... But I have to admit i liked how many spells and how they interacted with each other worked in origins

The Arishok 🫡

I remember to be disappointed in DA 2 at the time, but now after veilguard, well DA2 had its flaws but honestly what the old Bioware did in 14 months is far FAR better then what new Bioware did in 10 years. 10 years Carl . And according to art book in Dredwoolf we could actually try to negotiate truce between Tevinter and Qun and meat Archon and new Arishok ( who was Sten in DAO)

Welp none of this matters now.

God the Antaam in Veilguard don't even grasp at the quality writing of the old Qun based Quanari

"You alone are basalit-an!" One of the greatest compliments any of the characters I ever played ever received.

I hoped to go to Par Vollen in Veilguard, maybe in the next game.

Thanks big dawg just got the achievement cuz of this
