From the Twitter thread, hornless qunari are a playable option (you can choose horns or no horns), and you can play as a Dalish mage.


Do you have the original link to the dev that said it?


:o I hope that link is real!! I might.... actually.... play a mage first!!!

Altho, I thought MLaw (or was it Darrah?) said that we wouldn't know the extent of our involvement in the breach, which suggests against something playable that (at least fully) explains our role in the veil rip.


Intriguing... I wonder if that means we'll be suffering some sort of amnesia at the start? Kinda like in KOTOR where we didn't realise that we were originally a bad guy.

It could mean that we will literally not know our involvement in the breach until later on in the story.

I thought we could always play a Dalish mage in DAO? Or is this a new thing?

I think they're referring to DA:I. The inclusion of a Dalish mage may signal a return of background choice as well. Something very missed by many in DA2.

or perhaps it takes a while for us to learn what caused it, and only then do we realize that our past actions were somehow related. I dunno.  It was when they were also trying to explain the Chantry being related as well. i.e. clear as mud! LOL

edit: or what meanie said ! :D

Oh ok but I thought MLaw said that now that they have included back the races they had to get rid of the backgrounds or something like that.. or was it DG who said that? I just remember seeing it somewhere in the DAI forums when they announced that the selection of races are back, but either way I kind of expected the dalish to be part of the characters "background " since between  Ferelden and Orlais there is the Dales

I feel like one of the devs said that our actions may or may not have played a part in it. But I'm not sure if that was the devs hinting, like "we may or may not get a castle" *hint hint*, or that literally a decision we make in the playable prologue means that we either played a part in causing it, or refused to do whatever it was that caused it, but it happened anyway.

@ag99, you're right. DG did say that. So maybe dalish Mage is just a button you can choose in chargen, without it being a full background story?

I haven't read anything about a Dalish Keeper CC option, there are some more panels out on NerdAppropriate this morning though so perhaps it's mentioned there? Fortunately I have both a mild fever and gross stomach bug, so I've got lots of time today to check out DA info....yay for vomiting!

Ah oki, well i guess if they dont want us to actually play our background maybe they can at least include some sort of a text on our background? Like a codex or something to let us know about the characters history, I mean sure we know the history of the Dalish, city elfs, dwarfs and so forth but I mean for like new ppl to DA.

Apparently they went into details about the banter in DAI in one of the panels released today. Something about how we'd have the option to join in with the banter.

Apparently the fact that our race and class will be featured heavily in conversation/interactions will kinda serve as part of our background story, or something like that.

Well I'm going to get listening now-ish, so I'll keep an ear out for anything particularly interesting and try to post some time links for reference. :)

@Sister Goldring
aww that sux hope you get better soon I've always hated puking blah

@Lola
Ah yea, forgot that they said that depending on what class / race we choose there are gonna be some different responses/opinions from the NPC's and companions

And also yea its kinda cool that they will let us to actually intervene in the party banter but I think they said that you only get to do so at "specific times" like if ur party talks about you or something like that

right! Yeah good point; it could have been more of a hint. It definitely was obscure! LOL

No, you can only be a Circle mage as an elf.

Was Surana originally from the city, do you think? Or was he/she a Dalish that was unfortunate enough to have been taken away from his/her clan due to magic?

I believe you have the option of saying you're from Denerim at least... not sure about being Dalish. If so, it's a one time question and answer thing, when someone (forgot who) asks where you're from.

It'll be interesting if it does turn out we were involved, even if it was accidentally. I wonder how someone like Cassandra, or even Cullen would react to discovering you were somehow involved? Especially if you're a mage.

Y'know, maybe that'll be an extra layer to why you become the Inquisitor? Like, if you were somehow directly involved (even accidentally) you decide to form the Inquisition because you feel it's partly your fault, so it's up to you to sort the mess out. Or, if you play a character who's like "pfft, give a sh!t" then Cassandra is like "BULLSH!T! This is your fault, now you sort it out or I'll run my blade through you".

Does anyone else get the impression that Cassandra and Varric will be the first two permanent companions we'll meet, since any temp companions we get will likely end up getting bumped off pretty early on, LOL.
