Qunari Appreciation Station Relocation

*appreciates Qunari*

Um, thread content! Yes!

I think my favourite thing about Qunlat is that two of the very small range of phrases we know translate to 'I will bring myself sexual pleasure later while thinking about this with great respect' and 'we were told there would be cake. This is bullshit!'

I'm not sure either of those will be very helpful to anyone who finds themselves randomly teleported to Par Vollen. Unless they see the Arishok looking particularly fine, or someone offers them cake and then doesn't deliver?

PEOPLE, YAY!

I- I mean, uh. I know I'll be making use of both of those phrases when we meet the Stenishok.


Well, if the Valo-Kas end up working for Aveline, there's always a chance he got in on that.



Otherwise I could see him staying in the Free Marches. In world states where there's conflict between Kirkwall and Starkhaven, I'm sure there's a high demand for mercenaries.

Was Seamus really in a romantic relationship with him?

Really? Because I've played three Hawkes and never "seen" it. The only reason the possibility exists in my mind now are people on the forum saying it's there?

Huh. I'll try to pay closer attention to the bounty hunter next time.

LMAO I did not realize that was Vivienne in that snowball comic until I clicked on the link

RIP Bull...

I believe you take a quest directly from... um... what's his title? The king/prince/leader guy. Bald guy with the crown? LOL He sends you on a quest to retrieve his son, and you find Saemus on the beach beside Ashaad's dead body (he's been killed by the awful mercenary lady).

Hmm, not a fan to be honest. I enjoy the discussion(s?) Solas and Bull have, and I tend to side with Solas. Bull claims that there's no difference between a baker in Seheron and a baker in Orlais. Both are working hard every day and not thinking about "being free." Dorian makes a similar comparison between a slave in Tevinter and an elf in a southern alienage. But I disagree with them both. There is a difference. Freedom is important at its most basic level. A human being needs the freedom to choose basic elements in their life: do they want to be a teacher or a soldier or a baker? Just because the elf in the alienage also may not have that level of freedom doesn't mean it's okay. It just means that life in the qun, life for a slave in Tevinter, and life in an alienage are all on some level undesirable.

Bull points out (and so does Gatt) that the Qun can help you, can give you purpose, can soothe a lost soul or a wounded mind. Sure, I suppose, in the same way religion can soothe our fears about death or our purpose in life. But that doesn't make it true or right. We are still going to die. Isn't it better to acknowledge that and live your life accordingly rather than lie to yourself about some imaginary afterlife?

The Qun? Lots of Ben-Hassholes. No room for individuality. Sucks to be a mage. On the other hand... nobody starves in the streets. Actual medical and scientific advancements. No one is ever alone.

But rly, no thanks. Way too much deliberate brainwashing. Callous disregard for feels.

In which Bull dies in a blaze of fire as he hit Vivienne with a snowball... 

I just played MotA again and you are right, you can't do that. You can however tell her, what you personally think about the Qun. I told her, that the Qun was crap (basically) , but helped her nontheless, because that list in the wrong hands would have really meant the death of innocents.


About the question, what I think of the Qun, I agree with Artemis and @theloneshadow . It has some good sides, like equality and care for all, but those are feats, that should be able to get accomplished without losing your personal freedom, so I'm not a big fan. That doesn't mean, that I can't like Qunari characters in the game, but usually guys like the Arishok get a wtf? stance from me, because I don't get them (somehow my Hawkes usually get the baasalit'an achievment, simply because they act decent)
