Neve Gallus - Official Companion Thread [Spoilers]

What does a fascinator do?

Fascinating. 

Now e jus tneed a Spock meme

Im only 10 minutes into the DA podcast that has been released and already I feel very lost and confused. I have this sense of not knowing who these characters are, what their history is, what their purpose is.....Are they important to Veilguard? What is their link to the rest of the DA games or novels (which, btw, I haven't ready any of).

...what

The qunari in DAV just look very off. Like they lack detail. They are extremely smooth skinned like a human with horns. This exists with Taash as well as in the created qunari I see. Even the Arishok in 2 looked more detailed to me. The female qunari who is aggressive towards you in the DLC in inquisition was more detailed looking. The qunari in DAV look less distinguished than what we saw in the past. 

Viddasala's forehead and horns actually look more like Qunari in DAVe (or female Qunari in DAI) than, say, what Arishok or Iron Bull had. The reason you may think it's 'more detailed' it's because she wears an elaborate hedgear.


She's also clearly older (while Taash is already officially established as one of the youngest Veilguard members, if not the youngest) and has both facial and forehead wrinkles that have nothing to do with horns.

Anyway - having smoother foreheads, or different ways the skin wraps around forehead and the horn bases does not equal "lack of detail". They simply chose to make that area somewhat different - in DA 2 and in some cases in DAI they chose to make it seem like the horns are ripping quite violently from underneath the skin, resulting in uneven edges, while in DAVe they chose a more natural look - in a sense that it looks more like horns on something that actually has horns, like goats and bovines (with difference being that Qunari have no fur, lol)

Never mind that the most 'horns rip through the skull violently' in Qunari - a race known for breeding themselves like dogs or horses to fulfill certain roles - happens on foreheads of those who belong to Antaam, or actively partake in combat.
