Ah yes, now I remember her...Girl from 'Place Beyond the Pines'...Thanks!
What makes you think Krem is part of the Qun? He's a human not a Qunari, not to mention that whilst Iron Bull is technically a Qunari, an integral part of his character is that he has problems with the way of the Qun, so it could be that this is part of that reason. If you haven't played the game, it's slightly unfair of you to suggest that there is no lore justification. I'm sure there is one in the game.
it just doesn't make sense for them to have a word for it? Do other irl religions have a word for transexuals?? having a word for it means they're accepted in the society which contradicts the previous lore (yeah I did play both games before) unless they're a subcategory of tal-vashoth but why would you the Qun create a subcategory when they're going to re-educate/kill all tal-vashoth anyway.
I agree. Instead of a roleplay reason to do these quests, they present you with only a gameplay reason like in a JRPG or something.

As for the Qunari and transgenders @Princess_Ciri, forget about all the vashoth stuff, this doesn't make sense simply because of what Sten says in Origins about Qunari and accepting what they are. Even the mages simply accept their lot in life, to the extreme of being chained slaves. I find it hard to believe the Qunari accept a person that can't even accept their own gender. I smell bullshit.
I am of course assuming that giving them a name means they accept them. It's possible that isn't the case.
This review... actually makes me want to buy it:

Here's a quote:
"You can choose to be human, dwarf, Qunari or elf, but it’s only the latter that will see you given a broom by mistake the first time you visit the blacksmith."
That little detail sounds almost as if Bioware has retained some of its former glory. Dare I dream?

PC users on BSN are reporting wonky control schemes for K&M. From what I can tell, it doesn't sound good. I hate to be that guy...but it sounds like classic designed for gamepad combat. I'll be interested to hear opinions from this site as I know we have veteran PC gamers here.

I'm not sure I will be able to get the game on launch...Oh well, at least I'll have time to watch some impressions before making the plunge.
I just got out of character creation, lol. I like it. Game looks pretty damn good. Have everything on max settings. Expected it to look better on max, but still good. Only problems with character creation I had was I wasn't crazy about the beards, but they'll do. Hair options suck ass, but they'll do. Love everything else about it though. Best character creation on any game I've seen, besides the hair options. Not even a length modifier.
I am assuming Gaider will create an in-lore justification, but like the others mentioned, the Qun seems to be pretty clear about people having to accept their assigned role in life.
Here’s a piece of dialog from Dragon Age: Origins :
That Krem isn’t the first transgender character in Dragon Age by the way. There was a transgender prostitute in Dragon Age II (admittedly a very minor NPC), and another transgender woman in the comics - Varric’s cousin’s wife, if I remember correctly.
But hey, popular media. I remember a quote from ‘300’- ah, here’s the one:
‘Leonidas: Submission. Well, that's a bit of a problem. See, rumor has it that the Athenians have already turned you down. And if those philosophers and... boy-lovers have found that kind of nerve—‘.
What super-manly Leonidas didn’t mention is that the real Spartans were boy-lovers par excellence, but hey, that doesn’t sell in a product intended for a mass audience. If 300 can rewrite actual real-world history, then Gaider can alter his own lore if he wants to and put in all the transgender pansexual Qunari he wants.
Actually that was a a reference to the fact that Athenians legally allowed the prostitution of a very young boys, so he was mocking them for prefering boys over a real men.
Dat hair just looks... wrong. Seems to be an engine thing, hair just looks weird in Frostbite.First attempt at a character:
