Nikki: in theory, except I can't access any of the .mor files in DA2, like I can with DA:O, so I can't make the changes needed to do it.

@R2s Muse
As for anatomy practice, I'd like to draw the scene you wrote and posted earlier on this thread, but I'm not sure I can draw water and anything related to...hem.. naked and... wet... skin... *faint*
I'll think about it.:D
Hmm. I guess I don't know what you mean by "access" those then. You can unpack the erf file using PYGIFF editor. You probaby just need to extract Cullen's head, rename it to Aveline's and put it in the override directory. But, depending on what scene, it may not be possible with the console.LolaLei wrote...

Wont let me access those to do it.
Well, FWIW, that's all covered in the HowTo I sent you once upon a time.LolaLei wrote...
Well, I can access my save files to change certain things, like Hawke to Cullen, but I can't seem to unpack any of the files in it to be able to rename .mor files to put them in the override.

Human: Trevelyon
Elf: Lavellan
Qunari: Adaar
Dwarf: Cadash
"Lavellan" is apparently a Scottish mythological creature... so word origin suggests that if we're an elf we will be Dalish
It does sound like it would make a good Dalish Surname. I know we're definitely being given the option to be Dalish again... which means to some extent we'll still have the choice of a few background options in the character creator, even though they said they were scrapping it.

Danny: I know they said the family names are all of high standing and/or different historical significance. Makes me wonder if our protagonist was already someone of high calibre, even before having to form the Inquisition after witnessing the veil rip.
Well you can still do that can't you? Dwarf may be a Surface Dwarf, Human may be little more than commoners now, Dalish may be without a clan, Qunari could just be a random Sten or mercenary.LolaLei wrote...
Pity, I wanted the option to be a complete nobody before rising to power.
I think this sound plausible... altho I would imagine the mage/non-mage differentiation being significant. I could see being a Dalish or Qunari mage being sort of the same background as any other class, but I guess I would hope a human or maybe city elf mage would acknowledge somehow what role the Circle did or didn't play in their life. Like, maybe you never went to the Circle, so you've been a life long apostate? I dunno. Curious to see how that plays out.Danny Boy 7 wrote...

We're gonna have four racial origins, each with some kind of familial relationship that makes them each significant to their respective races and so great candidates for Inquisitor. Within the Human, Elf and Qunari origins there will be sub origins that are really just a line of dialogue that differentiates mage from non-mage.
They might all be ancient names that hold great weight, but were thought destroyed, lost, etc and our protagonists are the last of the line.

I dunno. I'm really intrigued by the hints they've been giving about how we "survive" the Veil rip event and may or may not have a role in how that happened. Given that it's Bioware, I'm hopeful that our story is compelling from the get go, and that they wouldn't cast us as the typical 'yay, you're a special snowflake, practically perfect in everyway, already awesome' hero. There's got to be a hook in there somewhere!motomotogirl wrote...

Same. It's looking more and more now though that they want to make players feel like total bosses right from the get-go. They're really emphasizing that the player will have all the "control" and the "power." I just hope they don't forget to tell a really amazing and personal story while they're busy chasing all the old school fanboys.
Well, let me know if there's a specific question I might be able to answer.LolaLei wrote...
That's what I was using, but I still couldn't get it to give me access to the files. I'll try again later. Mainly I need to switch Meredith for Cullen.

Yeah, that's a good point. I guess you don't need to know much about the Tower other than "I lived in one. Next silly question."Danny Boy 7 wrote...

I'm thinking that the familial ties will still be there, but that you lived in the Circle your whole life (as a human) thus coloring that bit of dialogue.
Varric: So tell me about yourself Inquisitor
Inquisitor: What do you want to know?
Varric: Tell me about your family
*Non-Mage Human*
Trevelyan: My family hails from Greenfell, a small village in North East Ferelden where my sister ruled as Bann. We sided with Loghain during the civil war. That's why I was in Orlais...we had to leave.
*Mage Human*
Trevelyan: I never really knew my family, my fellow mages are my brothers and sisters and have been since I was sent to the circle. The last I heard my sister sided with Loghain that's why I was transferred to the White Spire/Montsimmard (wherever Vivienne is not from) the templars feared for my safety...or rather they feared chaos should one of their charges be assassinated under their watch.
IDK that's how I imagine it
I was actually agreeing that it could really change the in game dialogue. Gives you a different perspective, potentially you could also be an apostate that lived with your family your whole life or we could have another Cousland/Amell, Tabris/Surana thing where the mages are a different family altogether. Dalish background could be mage only...R2s Muse wrote...

I know. I suppose it's hard for us (or just me?) to conceive of how they'll do backgrounds without a playable origin. I do hope the class colors a lot of your interactions that way. My first DA:O playthrough was city elf, and then all the ones I finished after were human, so I never really had the comparison to see how different the elf stuff was (since I had no idea what I was doing the first time around).Danny Boy 7 wrote...

Dalish background could be mage only...
It's so exciting to speculate though.

Nah it's not just you. I'm just describing what I would like. It's the first time I've been excited since Fires Above and I like when they have these huge backgrounds. But since they said class and specialization is getting more reactivity I expect there will be only a little blurb during character creation and maybe a couple interesting tidbits thrown in.R2s Muse wrote...

The nice thing about them not fleshing out the background too much is that it can allow you, the player, more flexibility to imagine who you were/what you did.
Yeah, I'm imagining something sort of like the blurb during Mass Effect chargen... although I never played far enough in to learn how much that affected your storyline.Danny Boy 7 wrote...

Only real difference is when you meet with the Dalish. They are friendlier to you and call you brother/sister if you're Dalish. If you're a city elf, they're not as polite, but not as hostile as they are to humans. This is only in the initial greeting.
I agree, I'm a bit worried as well. I loved pretty much everything that is loveable about DA2, from the personal setting to the all-bi companions, and am more than a tiny bit afraid that many of the things I really liked in DA2 will revert to their DAO design.motomotogirl wrote...

I think city elf is more likely than dalish elf, myself.Danny Boy 7 wrote...
Do you guys think there will be a city elf background?
