And by this I mean almost everyone I know who’s played this game couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved him. Speaking of Iron Bull… 2) Iron Bull is mean Oh and the way their society is horribly sexist and classist and cruel and, you know, all those things. Here’s an idea for the next Dragon Age game: we see the first Qunari activist finally protesting the widespread use of this awful, awful term. I’m guessing this is because Qunari society tends to value strength over new-fangled liberal ideas like equality and being nice. I blame Qunari like Iron Bull, who, instead of recognizing the slur, seem to almost embrace it as a compliment. While knife ears and shemlen are considered at least rude, people comfortably talk about ox men around me, as if I’m not standing right there. The funniest thing is it might be okay if it was at least acknowledged that this term is a pretty insulting slur, but it isn’t. But “o x men”? Really? It’s pretty demeaning and humiliating to be compared to creatures that mostly serve as “mindless cattle” and “food”. Okay, I’ll be fair: every race in the Dragon Age universe has to withstand racist slurs. For example: 1) People are kinda (a lot) racist… But as much as I love my towering, grey-skinned, horned mage in DA: Inquisition, I have to admit, there are some drawbacks to playing a Qunari that I didn’t foresee. Spoiler alert: we like it a lot.Įver since getting to know Sten in Dragon Age: Origins, I’ve loved the Qunari, and have wanted to play as one. As to The Witcher 3, we’ll be delivering our critical verdict on it tomorrow. Editor’s note: yes, we know you’re all very busy rampaging your way through The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and that this is hardly the time to let any other role-playing game invade your thoughts – but you look like you need a break from all that Witcher-y monster slaying, so why not use the opportunity to share in some of Laura’s comical experiences playing as a Qunari in another brilliantly engrossing RPG, Dragon Age: Inquisition.
