So we've got the mage and rogue origin sorted, what about the warrior class? What would work for as an origin for that?

Ok here's one for the warrior class:

The protagonist is a body guard/guard to some important noble in Orlais. You spend the first half of the origin doing mini quests of varying importance whilst you tolerate the snobby noble/boss who treats his employees like crap. At some point during the origin he/she gets assassinated by one of the other guards who turns out to be part of a rebel group (again part of the whole Orlesian civil war), you discover the nobles body just as the authorities walk in on you with blood on your hands. You've been set up to take the blame. The authorities put you in prision/a dungeon to be sentenced to death/hanged. In the meantime the magical blast at the peace gathering goes off, enabling you to escape the prison/dungeon, freeing a few surviving prisoners as you go (including Cullen.) As you stumble out of the wreckage of the streets you notice the carnage, disorientated you stumble towards the grand cathedral where you're then mistaken as the Inquisitor.

I dunno, I think a lot of people would get angry about that simply because we'd be forced into the role of a Templar.

Perhaps whilst we're escaping the prison we free the surviving prisoners, one of which is Cullen who has been captured for crimes against the Order or something.

I think 3 class origins that are vastly different (like the 3 we suggested) would be really fun, because we'd get to experience what life is like for from different aspects of society. Like perhaps with the warrior class you could actually be a friend/lover of the noble instead who gets framed for his/her murder.

LOL! I have this horrible feeling that our versions of DA3 that we have in our heads will be nothing like what the real DA3 will be like. Even if the game turns out to be absolutely amazing, we'll still be a little disappointed when certain ideas we've had doesn't happen.

I really hope they bring back origins..if they do I  think they will do it well....Or at least give us like 20-30 mins of game play before everything starts if we have to be just one person(which is kinda how it seems)I really didnt like the start of DA2 compared to 1..I felt like I was missing something.

I kinda felt like DA2 lost some of it's inital immersion by throwing us straight into the action. Especially as we were given this family unit, who we'd never met before during our first ever play through, so we had no idea what their personalities were like. When Hawke's sibling dies at the beginning I wasn't bothered at all because we as the player had only just met them, it wasn't until I'd played the game a couple of times that I was bothered when Carver/Bethany dies in the beginning, because by then I has gotten to know their personalities.

If we had start out the prologue in Lothering, prior to sh!t hitting the fan I think it would have been better. Running around as Hawke, getting to know his family, doing a few mini quests and stuff would have made things feel more heart breaking when we finally lose it all to the blight. Plus, I wanted to meet peaches and watch her try to come onto my male Hawke LOL!

Awesome though I doubt we'll just stumble across being the Inquisitor. I think the Inquisitor will be someone created after the explosion so to speak. We start the game prior giving us the back history of our family at the very least and then somehow (through your Origins) end up at the Grand Cathedral or wherever and after the explosion people start to suspect that someone is behind the events of the Mage-Templar War because everyone's assuming that the Leaders (Fiona/Lambert or whoever) are sane enough to at least consider peace. Likely we'll hear something like.

Woman: I've known Lambert for nearly two decades and while we don't agree on everything he would not murder innocents so senselessly if nothing else not the clerics he believed in so heartily. As for Fiona I may not know her well but her intentions are pure, she would not kill those who sought peace...no there is another hand behind this and I need you to find out what it is.

PC: Me? I was a thief/apostate/prisoner less than a day ago why do you need me?

Woman: The Maker works in mysterious ways even Andraste was nothing but a young girl when he heard her singing and I have no doubt your destiny is bright.

PC: I am glad to serve the Maker/I'm doing this for the people who died here/I have no need of your Maker, but no one deserves to die like that....

Anyway I can see it happening like that.

I hope so! My characters usually end up looking a bit derpy, especially in DA2 because the shadows in the character creator were a bit misleading. What looked good in CC, usually ended up looking bizarre in-game... or at least, that's what always happened to me LOL!

I just can't really think of any other way that the protagonist could become the Inquisitor, without it seeming like we're being forced into being pro-chantry or whatever. Unless we're conscripted into it, but that would be too much like DA:O with the Wardens. Perhaps we will end up being thrown straight into the role, simply because it would be too difficult to come up with something convincing as to how the protagonist ends up in the Inquisition.

Technically the Grey Wardens were said to be strict Andrastians (mind you I'm sure they accepted non-Andrastians) but it's easy to say either you get the noose for your crimes (whether deserved or not) or you join the Inquisition. Unfortunately I think that it's gonna be associated with pro-Chantry regardless that is until we get an Anti-Chantry dialogue scene like I said above. Not to mention that they could have been building up the Inquisition before hand but during the explosion they weren't left with many more options other than recruiting what they had.

I think if we only have one set playable prologue for all classes/races then it would probably take place at the peace gathering. Like, everyones gathering outside the grand cathedral or something waiting for it to start, whilst we wait we do a bunch of mini quests and talk to a temporary companion who asks you why we've bothered to go to the peace gathering (that way you can pick for yourself your protagonists motives), then when the magical blast happens (if the leaked survey is correct) then maybe we save one of the important people there (like the Divine), to which she puts us in the role of lnquisitor as a reward/because she feels we're capable/there's no one else left alive to do it lol.

Unfortunately I think that it's gonna be associated with pro-Chantry regardless that is until we get an Anti-Chantry dialogue scene like I said above. Not to mention that they could have been building up the Inquisition before hand but during the explosion they weren't left with many more options other than recruiting what they had.


I think if we only have one set playable prologue for all classes/races then it would probably take place at the peace gathering. Like, everyones gathering outside the grand cathedral or something waiting for it to start, whilst we wait we do a bunch of mini quests and talk to a temporary companion who asks you why we've bothered to go to the peace gathering (that way you can pick for yourself your protagonists motives), then when the magical blast happens (if the leaked survey is correct) then maybe we save one of the important people there (like the Divine), to which she puts us in the role of lnquisitor as a reward/because she feels we're capable/there's no one else left alive to do it lol.


Basically my thoughts lol but I do hope we do have Origins based on the class we play. I think it would be cool to be a distant relative of a Cousland or Howe and be in Orlais when the Shizz hits the fan. I don't think it will happen but it'd be great.

I can imagine that Cassandra might start the inquisition and recruit everyone she finds nearby of able body and eventually bows out to the player's superior intellect and plot armor :whistle:

@samara Yea, about four or five pages back I think, somewhere around there. And yes, that is one delectable neck...


I'm able to pop in here and there these days so I skim and try to see what I miss but I miss more and fall behind further, trying to play catch-up! hehehehe Tom has a very attractive neck/jaw thing that my vampire tendencies want to nibble on... :whistle:

class origins would increase the replayability most definitely. I'm actually wondering if we'll start off as the first ever inquisitor and everyone that subsequently joins our party also becomes part of the inquistion too? For example, Cassandra is sent with us by the Divine and automatically becomes part of the inquisiton with our protagonist, then we stumble acrossed a lyrium deprived Cullen, we nurse him back to health and recruit him into the inquisition too, then we find that Elf girl Sera and recruit her etc. 

If not, I'd be interested to see all the companions motives for following/accompanying the protagonist.

It'd be nice if class origins held more weight throughout the game as well - even more so than in DAO. Like if you're a mage, given what's going on with the Templars, the civillians are bound to have a few fanatics who might be unwelcoming to a mage-led group. Maybe you'll have to organize a different party set up to get what you need from certain places? Maybe your mage is threatened by someone and it takes having the right party member - like in DA2 - to have a non-violent solution. Say Cullen, for instance! If he's there, he can step in and pretend he's your "Templar handler" to get the zealots to back off and then he's all angsting about it when you get back to camp. :D
