However, the designs in Dragon Age: The Veilguard have come under fire for being too humanized, with some claiming they just look like humans with massive foreheads and horns. A few side by side photos have been making the rounds lately, featuring Dragon Age: The Veilguard's Qunari designs with the Arishok for the most unfair comparisons, but one BioWare developer has leaped to the defense of The Veilguard's designs.
Over the weekend, BioWare and Dragon Age cinematic designer Derek Wiles took to social media to try and debunk some of the criticism going around regarding the Qunari, specifically taking issue with a particular comparison photo (which you can see above). In the tweet, Wilks points out that the Qunari used in the photo was made via the character creator, meaning someone deliberately made their Qunari look like that, and it isn't a basis for every Qunari in the game.
Wilks also then goes on to point out that the Arishok in Dragon Age 2 was a "very specific model" used just for that character, meaning you couldn't make a Qunari that looks like him in any Dragon Age game's character creator, even if you wanted to.
Since Dragon Age: The Veilguard's release is still well over a month away, we're not going to find out just how different we can make our Qunari for quite a while. However, we know that the game's character creator is going to be better than Inquisition's, possibly one of the most in-depth we've seen from a triple-A video game, so here's hoping that the game will let us make a big, gruff Qunari with a smaller forehead.
