"Hey, where's the lack of any acknowledgement for Half-Dwarves?"Is what I imagine they'd say, if the devs actually remembered they existed (like that damn second moon)?! It bothers the crap out of me when people forget that Thedas has two moons. Even the writers forget. Lol Honestly they've failed to keep track of quite a bit.

Welp, I did it, I voted for dwarf even though I'm still hankering for a lady Vashoth.
The dwarves are too elusive! I need to find them and kiss them!!!

(I am keeping my fingers crossed for dwarf AND a lady qunari who can bench press us all into the sun.)

I assume the eyes were more human-looking to make them more relatable as a protagonist... but if it’s hard to relate to someone due to their appearance, that’s on the player, not on their appearance.

Having just replayed DAO, I have to say that I MUCH prefer their versions of dwarves. I don't know exactly what it is, maybe the more squareness of their build? Or maybe the more traditional fantasy dwarf appearance makes them less like short humans? I just know that the dwarves in DAO makes me want to romance dwarves more than the ones in DAI. Heck, the whole reason I chose to play a dwarf in DAO was because she was way prettier than any of the humans I could make and I admit that Gorim had a certain charm to him.

I think Elves tend to be a bit more interesting even though my favorite romances have been human.

the dwarves in DAO makes me want to romance dwarves more than the ones in DAI Dwarves in DAI just look weird. Something with the body type or I don't know what....but the end result is the women, in civilian clothing, look like children, which is just creepy as hell. Cadash looks way better in her heavy armor.

Definitely hoping for the eyes to come back. I assume the eyes were more human-looking to make them more relatable as a protagonist... but if it’s hard to relate to someone due to their appearance, that’s on the player, not on their appearance. Eyes are a big thing, but I think the whole facial structure changed, including the eye size. They also added eyebrows, because the brow doesn't have to be that pronounced any more. I was hoping they'd go the route of Turians - use face paints to introduce variety, instead of making Qunari big grey humans with horns... It changes in every instalment, and each race was at least once "Human but short/lithe/big." If you want relatable, then humans are always there. Plus female Qunari look really like human ladies with horns, even more so than male Qunari. I won't link it here (nsfw), but the comic from Oglaf "Dimorphism" is pretty spot on about this (though more about how ME handled it, in DA both the male and female end up looking too human at the same time in most cases).

Heh, I think about that particular Oglaf strip a lot. The only game I’ve ever seen that truly bucks that trend is Guild Wars 2. IIRC, one of their player species even has larger females than males (and they look pretty identical other than size), which is shockingly uncommon in fantasy compared to how common it is in real species.

You get the same thing in Lord of the Rings (film) when Gimli is talking about female dwarves to Eowyn and Tolkien never suggested female dwarves had beards (not that he had female dwarves feature at all). Definitely hoping for the eyes to come back. Yes, I'd like to see that too. Whereas I found the elves too alien looking in DA2, I thought the whole attraction of the Qunari was how different they appeared to regular humans and their eyes were just plain scary. To my mind, the DA2 Qunari look like they could be a dragon hybrid.

If you play a lady dwarf in DAI there’s a facial hair option in the CC, but it’s more like a slight wispy stubble than actual beard. I never played a dwarf, I just know beause my best friend did and put facial hair on her dwarf. lol

Probably complete bollocks, but I always attributed the change in Qunari looks to the Frostbite engine being a pig to learn. Especially when you have to sync up facial animations with the vast amount of dialogue the inquisitor has. Hopefully they’re able to change them back for DA4!

We've only had one Qunari LI in the entire series. Maybe that's why it is rock bottom in this poll.
But I've read the graphic novels and I'm really hoping for a female Qunari LI that looks like Rasaan.
Seriously, the Qunari are so... how did Sera put it? Woof!

I hope they will look more like their DA2 selves in the next game. Male Qunari in DAI look like fat cow men.
