    As much as i like Bull's character, the writing for the Qunari in Inquisition was pretty bland. I was hoping to see characters like the Arishok and the Tal-Vashoth. They shed some light and info on who and how they are.

      i agree, there’s definitely some info bull drops in DAI that i thought made the qunari more dynamic and unique, but overall i love the DA2 qunari so much more 😭 especially the design

      ​​@eli1964 It helps that we get to see more of them and what they do than we do in Inquisition, where Iron Bull is really just like Sten from Origins in being the "token Qunari" character, albeit with a more dynamic personality that adds nuance to those under the Qun. Dragon Age 2 places more focus on society at large as seen within the city of Kirkwall, and because of that, it has the best depiction of the Qunari, a people focused centrally around the wants of their society, which make them a greay foil to the individualistic Hawke.

      He's ment to be more of a spy that's why he's so blase about the qun ,arishok however is a born leader,he's strong and direct,intelligent and anilitical,while bull was a cudgel arishok is a computer.

      Rick Wasserman deserves more credit for this role. He brings out such a majesty to those that live under the Qun and presents legitimately compelling points about the benefits of Qun philosophy. In a series with great antagonists like Loghain, Corypheus, Meredith, Anders, and Solas, the Arishok is definitely up there with them for me.

      iirc it’s only about 6 or so dialogue/game choices that are actually needed to earn his respect (bringing fenris to the first meeting, telling the arishok about his missing envoy in act 2, etc) the rest doesn’t matter!

    30:58 in my playthrough, i let the Arishok go. Mainly because i consider him a worthy foe. Hawke and the Arishok aren't friends, and never will be.
    However, they still respect each other in some level. So in my headcanon, They will have a showdown, but not on this day.

      @@fozzes The qunari ARE a race. You literally can pick "qunari" when you pick a race in DA:I. It is both the name for the race AND the religion, with the Viddathari being followers of Qun but not of qunari race. The race itself is always called qunari within DA lore, with specification made that their ancestors at some point were called Kossith, before the Qun, but not have been called that for a long time.
