Sad about the Qunari designs

[Cross]

Qunari's look way too soft for a race of battle hardened warriors, Tash doesn't have a single visible scar even though she kills dragons? And the horn placements just give them a way too ugly and big forehead (they have always had a forehead but in here its way too big), it's a shame because they are my favorite race and it doesn't seem like the character creator will fix that problem.

Apart from the weird ear shape, the previous design was almost perfect

The current Qunari literally look like androgynous, unattractive humans cosplaying as Qunari at some convention

[Flinsberg]

I feel like the devs didn't know which was to go. Taash's early concept art made her look like a curvy tiefling. Then, sometime during production, they prob thought "You know, qunari aren't really suppose to look like tieflings. What should we do?" and someone was like "Eh, make it half & half." And that's the result.

Neither here nor there. An abomination created out of confusion.

Not authentic enough to look like a true qunari and not sexy enough to look like a tiefling. An abomination created out of confusion.

Reminds me of the "design by committee" guy where he showed his version of a hot black astronaut and then after being passed around the committee she just looked... well you know "diversified"

In which game?
I thought DAI looked a bit weird, DA2 was the best and DAO was the worst.

To me they all looked like they belonged in the same universe, these do not. These look like something from World of Warcraft.

They look fine

DA2 Arishok is peak. We can't have maculinity in games now.

the face isn't the problem its the horn. It's like they didn't put detail into them, they just look out of place. Taash was supposed to be a taller cassandra but they made her look....idk how to describe it.

Not really? Compare it with any Qunari from any other game and there is going to be a very big difference, even DAI's Qunari's look better and the Arishok or any other Qunari in DA2 were amazingly well designed.

Considering things I think you're right. I went back to compare things and there is a big lack of detail to the forehead-horn section, specially considering she is supposed to be a battle hardened warrior, yet she doesn't seem to have a single scar or mark, Cassandra had that big scar on her cheek that added to her looks, it showed that she is a veteran. Taash looks like she's way too untouched for someone in her line of work.

Are all the companions/NPC's like this?

I've only watched a few companion trailers and i'm looking at some of their wiki pics right now. They all seem kinda flawless...dont see any scars on their faces (though one of them has a dinner plate stuck to her head), their hair is all nice looking, and their armor looks like its brand new. In DAI you had Sera and Cole in worn down clothes with jagged edges and patches on cloth. Sera cuts her own hair with a knife and Cole has bed hair.

I mess with 3d stuff on the side and one thing i notice about original amateur created works is that almost all of the clothes/armor that people make looks pristine with no wear and tear.

nothing beats the DA2 Qunari design, but I kinda hope we will see some cool Vitaars :)

Now I love the design for Qunari in Dragon Age 2. Arishok was pretty detailed. I also liked the look of the Qunari in Inquisition, but there is something off about how they look in Veilguard. I just do not like their design at all.
