There's a reason for that... At least for the camera angles. Dragon Age Inquisition was, up until the later stages, designed with a human Inquisitor in mind.

@@Owliare Sorry, I know this is 8 months old, just wanted to add that in the whole "series" including the other games there *is* some pretty heavy handed sexism in Dragon Age: Origins as a female character (not to mention the racism, anti-magic sentiment, etc. other Wardens might face).
A female mage qunari is probably the most controversial Inquisitor you can have, for all sides of Thedas. Nobody in the south likes Qunari, and the Qunari themself don't like you as a Tal-Vashoth, not to mention that they don't approve women as warriors. And nearly everyone is scared of mages
Qunari Racism Part 2: the developers make all the cool armor look like the basic ones you can make the first time in Haven ever for no good reason. Seriously sucks I cant use the warden mage armor on my qunari mage :(
I stand by my belief this game is an ‘Ivory Tower’ experience. Imagine there was a moment when a Qunari player was aggressed in dialogue and the player could choose to grab the offender by the throat and lift them off the ground, possibly killing them if you wanted. Doing so would be met with combat directly afterward and people throughout the game would reference it and use it as an example of “Qunari savagery”.
True, but considering the amount of intertwining content and stories we already got, to complain about it more would seem a bit ungrateful. Plus, we're talking about bioware under EA, can't imagine they'd allow it unless it felt extremely forced. So this is probably the best we could have gotten.
Geez, this is depressing when you string it all together. Not even the chance to say 'I'm Vashoth, not Qunari' - or slug someone for calling you 'ox'. You picked a fitting conversation to end on. 'If only more people knew that', indeed.
Yeah, the leck of response to give to these folks also tipped me off a bit. I wish there was some sort of possibility for Adaar to verbally defend themself against this crap. Than again - when I look at their conversation with Dorian and how resigned they partly sound - they probably gave up to talk back a long time ago :(
@@iang8032 You don't ''talk'' to prove people wrong in Thedas. Your actions will prove them wrong. It is of no use to complain and be bitter about others opinions. It is what gives other races flavour really, that underdog feeling.
That is because unlike Dwarves and Elves who they see as inferior, the orlesian nobles actually fear the Qunari because they have superior weapon technology and almost conquered thedas once. They also have spies everywhere in thedas.
@@Inquisitor_Askeladd it sounds more like they feel Qunari are inferior, though. If I remember right, the exact dialogue you hear at the Winter Palace is “that’s not a person, it’s somebody’s pet” and the pop up notification says that Orlesians see Qunari as no better than animals. So while there’s fear there, they also don’t see Qunari as people
True humans don’t change they stole the dales from the elves and now treat them like dirt and wonder why the elven people don’t like them and qunari are just awesome how could anyone hate them

Wow your Qunari looks great. Though honestly, I like the Inky's posture. They always look very grounded, the Qunari's height just makes that strength more apparent. xD
It's actually pretty fun because it challenges the whole perception of the dominant religion and forces humans to deal with their prejudices (and also elves and dwarves to a lesser extent). It also makes for interesting conversations between Iron Bull and the Inquisitor. You represent one of your race who grew up completely outside of the Qun and Qunari society (you may even choose to be an Andrastian), and Bull represents someone who has done quite well under the Qun and is still loyal to it.
Having a Qunari be the savior of their religion is so hilarious. the chant is human centric, and doesn’t let other races join the priesthood. Having a Qunari be the Makers chosen is literally causing a schism in the faith
I don't know if Dorian's comments are quite racist, he doesn't actively insult her, he seems to know what she is and knows how she's different from Qunari. He might have his biases because of the war with the Qunari, but he has no particular issue with her.
Different races, I think. Humans can have children with Elves (aka Alistair, Feynriel, Kieran if the Warden-Elven is his father) and Dwarfs (aka Kieran if the Warden-Dwarf is his father). No record for Human/Qunari or even Dwarf/Elven.
Ezra Kemp somewhere in the the lore states that qunari were elf-dragon hybrids created by Tevinter. Several theories claim that the dwarves were created by the titans due to connection between the two.
Mena Jack You can still be of a different species and have children. So probably same genus at least. Remember modern humans did interbreed with neanderthals.

0:28 i dont really feel that as racism, "you oxmen are tought as old leather" shit i'd brag like fuck yeah i am. But i guess the use of oxmen can be seen like that for some, anyway, personally, i wouldnt take any offense on that
@Gypsy Wolf qunari means people of the qun its an umbrella term to describe them any race can become qunari humans,elves,and dwarves are know as Viddathari in the qun.
@Gypsy Wolf Vashoth means grey ones and Tal Vashoth are true grey ones. Vashoth are the horned ones never learned of the Qun and Tal Vashoth are the horned ones that abandoned the Qun.
Blame that on BioWare making the Qunari naming conventions confusing. Obviously when most people say Qunari they mean the species of Horned Bronze Giants not the religion.
In dragon age origins there's a guy who stands gard by the boat that takes you to the the circle tower, if you try to show him your grey warden treaty he'll arrogantly dismiss it and reply sarcastically with, "Oh, a Grey Warden treaty! So you're supposed to be one of those. Well, I've got some papers too! They say I'm the Queen of Antiva!"
haha yeah, I forgot all about it until recently but I just downloaded it again yesterday so hopefully should have a 2nd part up within a week, Need to restart the game though because I lost my saves
Flissa's comment is at least... sorta nice lol. Still racist, but at least she tries. Also I'm planning on replaying DAI soon and I wanna do a Qunari Inquisitor to see how different that would be (I've already done human and elf) but the only thing stopping me is that I can't romance Cullen as a Qunari. T.T Your only options as a Qunari (well, technically Vashoth) Inquisitor are Sera, Dorian, or Iron Bull. Since I don't like girls and Dorian is gay, that leaves me with just Iron Bull and he's great and all but it sucks being railroaded into a single romance. I get why they made it so race played a role in who you could romance and I appreciate the realism it lends but goddammit let me romance Cullen again!
Only Cullen and Solas are race locked though, other than those two though... - Iron Bull and Josephine are romanceable no matter your character's gender - Sara and Blackwall are only romanceable by a female inquizitor - Dorian and Cassandra are only romanceable as a male inquizitor So every playthrough has at least 1 straight 1 gay and 2 bi (or 2 same gender, 2 opposite gender) romance options, you just get 1-2 more playing a female human or elf In short you have; Fem elves = 6 romance options, Fem humans = 5 romance options, every other race/gender combination = 4 romance options
To be honest i still wondering if you are not human how can you be not stone to death the moment Cassandra bring you out of the chantry at the start ! There is only 2 back ground that makes you "trust worthy" Human : because you are a "good Noble"... and stuff, you family seems to educate you to serve the chantry. Qunari mage : for a Qunari would never let a mage free Others should be excuted on the spot... Qunari soldier : You could be a Ben'hasrath doing mess to prepare a Qunari invasion. Dwarf : I'm a lyrium dealer and i just made sure that templar and mage who both needs lyrium still fight eachother ! Hey boss i'm a hero i just made sure buisness is still running & lyrium price break the cielling. Elf : except if Solas Find you & brings you to Cassandra, no way you survive... you are a Dalish... you don't belive in Andraste, moreover you where victims of exalted marchs that look like pure revenge !
I don't understand most other commentators. A qunari who was born and has lived in southern Thedas must have heard all that and more already. Plus, mercenaries have thick skin and they tease each other with such comments in general. So no need for political correct outbursts or violent acts for my magical ox.
To be honest its more like exprience than racism. Hearing from qunari only when there is some fighting and when they preach their Qun must feel similar to finding Jehova witness standing on your doorstep wanting to talk about our lord and savior.
Qunari were damn cool in dragon age 2 but I hated them after the arishok attempted to destroy Kirkwall....and in inquisition...female Qunari is literally a nightmare except for male which are kind of nice. But yep, I don’t really love them... I don’t know but the Qun is something wrong to me, I just remember a mission from DA2 in which you have to save a qunari but then after the whole quest he decide to burn himself cause he was devoted to the Qun. Lol
Well in all honesty, people are right to be wary. Most qunari are quite savage, the ones people see anyway. Dorians comment about tal vashoth being completely different is actually very true, it’s the religion that makes the qunari so savage and not the people. The elves have a lot more unnecessary racist comments
And humans are not savage didn’t the humans in the game enslave the elves and take the dales from them and treat them like dirt the humans in the game are not perfect either
I’d hesitate to call anyone who’s surprised the Herald of Andraste is a Qunari “racist”. If an elf was shocked a human was the “Herald of Mythal” or something, but otherwise had no issue, I’d say that’s perfectly fair.
Half of these i wouldn't even judge as racism, just outcasting due to...well how the entirety of the qunari have interacted with the rest of thedas so far. You pick a mage qunari tho, and you get some reeeeal spicy comments
It's a shame we can't make a slender female Qunary. I'd have enjoy designing a stealthy super attractive one with daggers, embodimment of a wolf in sheeps clothing. Pretty assassin like.
Uh, they literally refer to them as "oxmen" and "demons" and other nasty comments based on purely racial traits. Which is racism. If you make nasty comments about how, say, a Chinese person _looks,_ that's not "communisophobia," that's racism.
@@paulmares9815 Most of Dragon Age fanbase are a bunch of weaklings snowflakes always crying about Elves and ''minorities''. I literally don't understand what's the draw of this demographic to this series really. You don't see such a pathetic fanbase of other RPGs like The Elder Scrolls for example. The Elder Scrolls is a pretty good fanbase actually, especially in Reddit, who are not afraid of making racist, sexist or any not politically correct joke... Dragon Age Reddit fanbase on the other hand is pretty dull and boring.
This crap is the whole reason I play a other races just to show everyone in this game that race doesn't mean anything anyone of any race or gender can be great
I highly doubt Dorian means anything harmful by what he says tbh. He says himself he’s not met very many friendly Qunari. And Mother Giselle says that no matter what race or class you are. She is racist towards Tevinter though.

whats the name of that armor your wearing
Z3R0 GAMING dragon. Looks like
2:36 how do you get the "Fiona asked us here" option?
It shows up after meeting Fiona in val royeaux
@@StuHayhoe then maybe my game is bugged, after meeting Fiona that guard always run away from the rift and i cant interact with her anymore
hmm.. have you destroyed the rift? she should talk after doing that. Though i haven't played it in over a year so could be wrong
@@StuHayhoe its always like this, and if i try to talk to her before she arrives at the gate the conversation never starts:
ruclips.net/video/fFYOmNnbeoI/видео.html
yeah looks like its bugged unfortunately, its just a few lines of dialogue though
Maybe it's just me but being called Big Brute isn't the worst thing...
this was nowhere near as racist as the comments you'd see in origins and 2. kinda sad really to see how weak the game's darker themes have gotten
I feel like you can justify it with the fact that you have the protection of the inquisition behind you. We’ll see how things go in 4 if you can choose your race, how dark things will get
@@homosexualitymydearwatson4109 Start as a Qunary female slave that is a mage.
Even the games schematics and armor options everything but qunari almost. They're the most badass race.
0:28 i dont really feel that as racism, "you oxmen are tought as old leather" shit i'd brag like fuck yeah i am. But i guess the use of oxmen can be seen like that for some, anyway, personally, i wouldnt take any offense on that
Where is part 2?
lycantom the phantom lycanthrope god I accidentally deleted this character after I made this video but plan to recreate it and record it soon
The funniest thing is, strictly speaking, you are not even a qunari as you are not a part of the Qun society.
You are not a Qunari though... you're not part of the Qun.
Except most people in Thedas don't see any difference. Common people don't realize that Qunari isn't a race but a person that is part of the Qun.
@Gypsy Wolf qunari means people of the qun its an umbrella term to describe them any race can become qunari humans,elves,and dwarves are know as Viddathari in the qun.
@Gypsy Wolf Vashoth means grey ones and Tal Vashoth are true grey ones.
Vashoth are the horned ones never learned of the Qun and Tal Vashoth are the horned ones that abandoned the Qun.
Blame that on BioWare making the Qunari naming conventions confusing.
Obviously when most people say Qunari they mean the species of Horned Bronze Giants not the religion.
elves get the same treatment like dangggg why humans are mean
5:17 wait, u can challenge their leader? I didn't know that.
yeah, you need to find an amulet I believe, otherwise they will just attack you
If i’m not wrong the amulet is called “ mercy” something
The thing that irks me about this the most is that Inquisitor Adaar *ISN'T EVEN QUNARI!* They're Tal-Vashoth! Damn Shems don't know anything...
Playing a Templar warrior Qunari that truly believes in the maker and truly believes himself the chosen of Andraste.
Welp, i better get ready for a lot of racist remarks on my next playthrough
Lol i dont know where i hear the "queen of antiva" jokes before inquisition. Anyone can help?
In dragon age origins there's a guy who stands gard by the boat that takes you to the the circle tower, if you try to show him your grey warden treaty he'll arrogantly dismiss it and reply sarcastically with, "Oh, a Grey Warden treaty! So you're supposed to be one of those. Well, I've got some papers too! They say I'm the Queen of Antiva!"
@@disobeyedgemma8155 "Aren't queen female?"
"Don't question royalty!"
@@Ruosteinenknight XD
I don't mean to make a fuss, but... three years isn't what I'd call "soon".
haha yeah, I forgot all about it until recently but I just downloaded it again yesterday so hopefully should have a 2nd part up within a week, Need to restart the game though because I lost my saves
@@StuHayhoe Nice. :)
I miss Sten.
If there's no malice behind it, I don't think it's really much the same as racism. Adans comment was a compliment
Flissa's comment is at least... sorta nice lol. Still racist, but at least she tries. Also I'm planning on replaying DAI soon and I wanna do a Qunari Inquisitor to see how different that would be (I've already done human and elf) but the only thing stopping me is that I can't romance Cullen as a Qunari. T.T Your only options as a Qunari (well, technically Vashoth) Inquisitor are Sera, Dorian, or Iron Bull. Since I don't like girls and Dorian is gay, that leaves me with just Iron Bull and he's great and all but it sucks being railroaded into a single romance. I get why they made it so race played a role in who you could romance and I appreciate the realism it lends but goddammit let me romance Cullen again!
Only Cullen and Solas are race locked though, other than those two though...
- Iron Bull and Josephine are romanceable no matter your character's gender
- Sara and Blackwall are only romanceable by a female inquizitor
- Dorian and Cassandra are only romanceable as a male inquizitor
So every playthrough has at least 1 straight 1 gay and 2 bi (or 2 same gender, 2 opposite gender) romance options, you just get 1-2 more playing a female human or elf
In short you have; Fem elves = 6 romance options, Fem humans = 5 romance options, every other race/gender combination = 4 romance options
To be honest i still wondering if you are not human how can you be not stone to death the moment Cassandra bring you out of the chantry at the start !
There is only 2 back ground that makes you "trust worthy"
Human : because you are a "good Noble"... and stuff, you family seems to educate you to serve the chantry.
Qunari mage : for a Qunari would never let a mage free
Others should be excuted on the spot...
Qunari soldier : You could be a Ben'hasrath doing mess to prepare a Qunari invasion.
Dwarf : I'm a lyrium dealer and i just made sure that templar and mage who both needs lyrium still fight eachother ! Hey boss i'm a hero i just made sure buisness is still running & lyrium price break the cielling.
Elf : except if Solas Find you & brings you to Cassandra, no way you survive... you are a Dalish... you don't belive in Andraste, moreover you where victims of exalted marchs that look like pure revenge !
I wish I had a fuck off button like in red dead.
I don't understand most other commentators. A qunari who was born and has lived in southern Thedas must have heard all that and more already. Plus, mercenaries have thick skin and they tease each other with such comments in general. So no need for political correct outbursts or violent acts for my magical ox.
Elves and Qunari! Unite in the name of xenophobia! Destroy the world!
Nobody bats an when people speak French, what's the deal with qunari.
1:01 How is that offensive. She is in fact recognizing the prejudice of others, not showing any of her own.
I'm just wandering what the fuck kinda sexual dimorphism is happening with the Qunari. Apart from the horns they look like different species lol
This is basically the same as when you're an elf, except they think you're a slave/servant. Gross.
To be honest its more like exprience than racism. Hearing from qunari only when there is some fighting and when they preach their Qun must feel similar to finding Jehova witness standing on your doorstep wanting to talk about our lord and savior.
Not bad for a x box flick.
Qunari were damn cool in dragon age 2 but I hated them after the arishok attempted to destroy Kirkwall....and in inquisition...female Qunari is literally a nightmare except for male which are kind of nice.
But yep, I don’t really love them... I don’t know but the Qun is something wrong to me, I just remember a mission from DA2 in which you have to save a qunari but then after the whole quest he decide to burn himself cause he was devoted to the Qun. Lol
Qunari Don’t have it as bad as elves city elves are still kept as slaves and treated like second class citizens
Well in all honesty, people are right to be wary. Most qunari are quite savage, the ones people see anyway. Dorians comment about tal vashoth being completely different is actually very true, it’s the religion that makes the qunari so savage and not the people. The elves have a lot more unnecessary racist comments
And humans are not savage didn’t the humans in the game enslave the elves and take the dales from them and treat them like dirt the humans in the game are not perfect either
@@Twilight24682 never said humans weren’t savage. Both qunari and humans are awful
Dumbass Threnn also believes wardens betrayed Cailan sooo
Cullen is also super racist to qunari in dragon age 2 😂
I’d hesitate to call anyone who’s surprised the Herald of Andraste is a Qunari “racist”. If an elf was shocked a human was the “Herald of Mythal” or something, but otherwise had no issue, I’d say that’s perfectly fair.
Oxmen lol
Half of these i wouldn't even judge as racism, just outcasting due to...well how the entirety of the qunari have interacted with the rest of thedas so far. You pick a mage qunari tho, and you get some reeeeal spicy comments
It's a shame we can't make a slender female Qunary. I'd have enjoy designing a stealthy super attractive one with daggers, embodimment of a wolf in sheeps clothing.
Pretty assassin like.
Somehow I think Qunari is not really racism but the communisophobia
Uh, they literally refer to them as "oxmen" and "demons" and other nasty comments based on purely racial traits.
Which is racism.
If you make nasty comments about how, say, a Chinese person _looks,_ that's not "communisophobia," that's racism.
Some of those comments weren't even related to racism. Ugh..
Yeah half of these are reaching hard af
Yall don't know prejudice when you see it. Telling.
@@PurpleHazePro found the snowflake lol
@@paulmares9815 Most of Dragon Age fanbase are a bunch of weaklings snowflakes always crying about Elves and ''minorities''. I literally don't understand what's the draw of this demographic to this series really. You don't see such a pathetic fanbase of other RPGs like The Elder Scrolls for example. The Elder Scrolls is a pretty good fanbase actually, especially in Reddit, who are not afraid of making racist, sexist or any not politically correct joke... Dragon Age Reddit fanbase on the other hand is pretty dull and boring.
Internal oppression
This crap is the whole reason I play a other races just to show everyone in this game that race doesn't mean anything anyone of any race or gender can be great
I highly doubt Dorian means anything harmful by what he says tbh. He says himself he’s not met very many friendly Qunari.
And Mother Giselle says that no matter what race or class you are. She is racist towards Tevinter though.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECISM!
some of these were remarks on qunaris natural strengths but most were just racist
I wish they were more racist. It'd be more realistic.
dorian is the most racist companion in this game, why does everyone love him... he's literally defended slavery
Because he’s “sassy” 🙄
He's gay
Because slavery is cool and crying about it on video games only makes you a whiny puss*.
