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.
