A new race, only mentioned once by David Gaider and little is reveiled about them. They are native to the island nation of Par Vollen and were there before the Qunari. They rarely leave Par Vollen and we can asume that they are forced to coexist with the Qunari (This might mean that they have been forced to convert to the Qun) What do you think of this new race called the Fex? What do they look like? (Please dont say stuff like golems or lizardmen, theories like that are just plain pathetic, the Fex will be humanoid like the other 4 races of Thedas) Why havent we seen them before? Will they appear in a future game? How do they coexist with the Qunari? These are all questions Im dying to know the answer to. Please tell me your opinion
- We know that when the Qunari landed on the Island the invasion was a "one sided blootbad", meaning that the Qunari have complete control over. This also means that all members of that race (that havn't fled) must either have converted to the Qun long ago, or live in small isolated caves.
- Personally I think that with a name like the "fex" that they must be furry, like anthropomorphic foxmen, their women would be called vixens. (okay actually I have no idea, but foxmen just sounds fun.)---rphb- (talk) 08:30, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
- "Fex" is their shortened name. Full name will be "Fedex" and they will be in charge of the game's all fetch quests. Dorquemada (talk) 08:45, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
The Qunari probably 'found a place in the Qun' for them and don't let them leave, or at least not much. It's unlikely we'll visit Par Vollen any time soon so we probably won't learn a great deal about them, at least not yet. At a guess though, given the mess they made of the Elves they'll probably make the Fex look like sparkly vampires or klingons or something equally stupid. (edit: sig fixed, bloody wiki logged me out for no apparent reason). Rayvio (talk) 08:38, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
- No even if an invading army is unstoppable in technological superiority, there would still be opportunities for somebody to escape. As I toll you, some might be wandering in isolated areas like the Dalish elves, and some might have found a way to flee the island all together. Therefore we might see them in the next game, whining about how they lost their homeland to the Qunari, giving good party banter with a dalish elf companion, or a former Qunari female sarabas.
- Ps. We don't have to play as a Qunari but I seriusly would like a female qunari mage as a companion
- Qu (I call her Qu) was of the pristhood of the Qunari and as such a strong believer. But when she discovered that she had magic (in an unusual late age) her belief shattered and she flees Par Vollen. Originally Qu joins the Tal'vashoth, but she is soon disgusted by their highwayman ways, so she abandon them too. She then wanders the lands for several years until she settles down in a small isolated valley near the borders of Orlais and Nevarra. Doing a quest to investigate the area the PC meets her and after besting her in battle you get the chance of either killing her, or allowing her to become your companion.---rphb- (talk) 09:03, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
- With a name like "Qu" it would be really fitting for her to be the party's gadgeteer, too. You know, lutes that shoot poison darts, maces that also double as umbrellas, exploding clockwork nugs, that sort of things. Hey, this way she'd basically be Jan Jansen, if Jan Jansen was 8 foots tall, horned and female. Dorquemada (talk) 09:24, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
- You should know that you don't join Tal'Vashoth You become one whem you leave the qun plus she couldn't be a part of Tal'vashoth group cause even know they left the qun they don't befriend saarebas. And you cant leave tal'vashoth cause that's not profession but who you are. But the idea is great i wrote whole topic about qunari involvement in da3 http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:In_Dragon_Age_III_Play_As_a_Qunari and kudos man keep ideas like that on forums and Dragon Age Writers might notice and think (Now that's a great idea) and bam you get qunari saarebas chick as a companion. Shizushi (talk) 09:40, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
I totality agree with you. Qu would totally be into gadgets, a literal genius. And remember you need to investigate her tower. She would have put traps and other funny devises everywhere to prevent burglares and more precisely the Arvaarad that have been hunting her. In the tower you would fight a new kind of monster, the "Clockwork Minions". As you fight your way higher and higher up the tower you finally meets Qu that sits in the head of her most powerful creation. The clockwork juggernaut. As big and as difficult as a highdragon you battle it in the top of the tower until it is finally defeated and she crawls beaten and hurt out its head.
She is very cold at first, but ends up being a romancerbel character. After a long courtship she would finally (if pc is male) allow you to play with her horns. The same would be true for the fex, that is a foxman. The only question is then, are you a horn or a tailman?---rphb- (talk) 09:36, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Shizushi (talk) 09:40, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
Okay, I may have used some words the wrong way. I meant that she joined a band of Tal'Vashoth but didn't like it there so she left (yea the fact that they hate her too for what she is was a big reason for that). But what do you think about the idea of the "clockwork minions", steam-powered robots that are either equipped with either swords or small explosive devises.---rphb- (talk) 10:11, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
- Steam-powered robots are a bit to much. But if she has magic she could use to animate like golems from all kind of metal parts (something like rock wraits just from metal) who could be equipped with sword or bombs or even both. and one of hers specific skills would be to teleport some of those golems who weren't activated against you to battle field like summons.

I seriously doubt that the Fex will be something like a werewolf fox, that would just suck, no the Fex will most likely be humanoid and not half animal. Even though they might have animalistic preportions like maybe a tail or something like that I still think they will look fairly human or elf like. I mean even though the Qunari have horns I realy dont consider them a monstruos or animalistic race, the horns and the dark skin is just there to identify them. So no, I dont beleive the Fex will look like foxes standing on two legs and have some human preportions, however they might look more human but have a couple of fox preportions like a tail or maybe fox ears.
Also, I love the idea of a female Qunari Saarebas as a romancable companion but there is one thing I have to point out. "Play with her horns" in case you havent noticed all Saarebas have had their horns cut off so unless she was able to escape before they were able to do that I doubt she will have horns.
- First my idea of foxmen is that they would be very anthropomorphic, just have furs, tails and foxears. Oh yeas and like foxes they would come in heat 2 times a year.
- Second, look at the backstory I have wrote for her. She was a prist (or no, not priest, but some kind of gadgeteer), her role had been assigned, but then she found out she had magic and fled before they could leash her, so no she would have her horns and they will look awesome.---rphb- (talk) 10:15, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

I'm thinking a sort of primate race. think planet the the apes but less ape like, closer to humans. I say that because Par Vollen is tropical. Probably pretty early in cultural and technological evolution when the Qunari landed on the shores of Par Vollen. Or, you said we can assume they're native to Par Vollen... but what if they're not? What if they were a race the Qunari conquered and converted to the Qun on whatever continent they came from and the Qunari brought them over. If thats true than you could guess anything, because no one knows where the Qunari came from or what kind of other life is there. For all we know there could be flying spaghetti monsters where the Qunari come from.
Oh and Rayvio I liked what they did with the elves in DA2. They look more exotic, and they don't just look like humans with pointy ears, they actually look like a different people. in DA:O They looked exactly like any human except for the ears. Zakhynes (talk) 10:42, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
Well in my head Fex should look something like That or like Japanese deity's. Thay should look like humans have longer fangs, Fury ears, fox like tail and they should only be rouges cause they should be extremely agile. Shizushi (talk) 11:18, April 21, 2011 (UTC)Shizushi
- @86.100.217.155
- 1st Please sign in. Take a name any name, just so we know that we are talking to the same person
- 2nd No teleporting. The cardinal rule of magic forbids teleportation. it was a very big and annoying glitch (that will hopefully be fixed in a future patch) that some mages in DA2 can apparently do just that.
- But that of course doesn't mean that she can't summon more enemies to the fight, they can come out of hidden entrences and trapdoors, there is really endless possibilities here.
- But I would like to hear, for I find this picture funny. What do you guys think of some kind giant mechanical golem that is controlled by a Tal'vashoth chick in the head. Would move really mechanical and sometimes get stuck and you can hear her curses as she tears in the control-rods, and as it takes damage it will start to smoke
- @Shizushi. No they should look like this---rphb- (talk) 11:19, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
Than they look like Khajiit in Elder Scrolls series. Shizushi (talk) 11:27, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
Maybe they will look like this(A killing race assigned by the qun to do super secret black ops for the qunari) they haven't appeared in previous games cause they are qunari secret and no one outside the qun should know about them. But don't take this seriously i just fought what if they were something like that. Shizushi (talk) 11:55, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

I wonder what a fex broodmother would make. A furry darkspawn? --Firething11 (talk) 14:20, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
No I got it. now I now what the Fex is. We have already seen Fex darkspawn, right here. The Fex looks like this ---rphb- (talk) 14:48, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
Calling a race of fox people Fex would be outright stupid. That'd be like a lizard race called Lezards or if Bioware would have called Mass Effect's Krogans Denosaurs or something. Do you actually expect Bioware to be that uncreative or are you all just furries wanting to outlive your fantasies in the world of Dragon Age?
I even doubt we'll ever hear of them again. Lemonaidz (talk) 16:06, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
Hey furries are fun, and I only suggested it for fun, but please if you have an idea, come with it, for right now your just bitching.---rphb- (talk) 16:19, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
Just as a point of interest, I looked "fex" up on dictionary.com: -fex a combining form meaning “maker,” used in the formation of compound words: spinifex. Origin: < Latin, equivalent to -fec- (combining form of facere to make) + -s nominative singular ending. See -fic. So 'fex' means "maker". Interesting, eh? AL-istaria (talk) 16:45, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
- Now that sounds interesting. "Maker" could mean anything, though. They could be exceedingly good at crafting beautiful flower vases for all we know. Lemonaidz (talk) 17:49, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
We know that they are inferior to the Qunari quote: "a one sided slaughter", so whatever else they are they must be a primitive race at least as primitive as the elves. So don't go expecting some überelderrace here.---rphb- (talk) 16:50, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
- In terms of military might and technology, it's arguable that everyone in Thedas is inferior to the Qunari, primitive or not. So unless you think that all the human nations are also primitive, then this Fex people's failure to withstand a Qunari invasion does NOT mean that they are a primitive race. Remember, the primary advantage of the Qunari is their cannon--and of course their black powder. Only mages ever give a nation the edge it needs to fight them. It has nothing to do with being "primitive," unless all non-Qunari are primitive. Which is something the qunari probably do believe. Tabriel Cousland (talk) 19:26, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
I seem to have missed this little scoop. Can anyone please give a link to where Gaider said this? I'll be grateful.IP no. 59.95.169.10 (talk) 17:27, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
Could it be that the Fex are/were a human or humanoid people that have interbred with the Qunari? Maybe that's why there are Qunari like Sten, or that Qunari merchant from Awakening that don't have horns. Just a thought.Liam Sionnach (talk) 17:50, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
The Fex were acording to David Guider the original native residents of Par Vollen from before the Qunari arrived. When they did it was a one sided slaughter and that's all we know. That means:
- 1)That the Fex is not a halfbreed race with Qunari blood.
- 2)That the Fex is not a powerful überrace
He have also confirmed that they are humanoid and sentient, but that is all. It is a pretty broad category, but it does eliminate some out in the cloud speculations.
But to digress, what do you think of the female Tal'vashoth mage/gadgeter charecter Qu?---rphb- (talk) 19:24, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
- Wait, you were being serious up there? Please, keep your fanfics out of this. Lemonaidz (talk) 20:39, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
After all of this talk the only idea we seem to have goten is the fox thing and I have to agree with Lemonaidz, I dont think they will be as predictable as a fox humanoid creature even though it isnt impossible. Still I highly doubt they will be anthropomorphic, I really think they will be similar to the other races of Thedas, maybe a bit exotic but without a doubt humanoid.
Heres a theory Somehow when I here the name Fex I think of a very short race, maybe a bit taller than dwarves but shorter than elves, I somehow imagine them as some sort of creature that will have some sort of mystic preportion and not necesairly something from the animal kingdom, maybe they will have completely black eyes, maybe they will glowing veins, pulsating with magical powers or something like that. Somehow I think they will be more in touch with the fade than any of the other races.
This theory is just something I made out of the blue and its not really a genius theory on the Fex but my point is that there are so many possibilities andthe fox thing is only one of them, lets try and figure out some new theories and try not to make them anthropomorphic (more beast than man) none of the other races, not even the Qunari even though they have big ass horns are even remotely anthropomorphic, try to make your theories a bit original (please no more fox people and no lizard people or golems, and can we please drop the subject on the Qunari companion?)
