A Seeker, given the lore, would have to be assumed to either have strong faith or have been able to fool everyone into thinking she did.  I wouldn't want to have that background for my character.

I can see a Seeker being devout... but then something terrible happens that shakes her faith. Then, it's up to you as the player to determine whether she reaffirms herself, denies the Maker, or some other options (coverts to the Elvish religion, or the Qun, or something else).

In that way, you do have a "Seeker" as your protagonist, even if it is as an "ex-Seeker".

Well, yes, you can always head canon whatever works for you.  However, I'd rather not have to work at liking my character.  There are too many entertainment sources out there to spend $60 for the privilege of mentally rewriting my character's history so it doesn't irritate me 

I hope BioWare puts some role playing back into their RPG rather than have a set story that we can barely maneuver around in.

 No.  i want my warden.  with hawke as a party member.  there could be a seeker member as well. but no.  

[Parmida]

No, I don't like the chantry&Politics and certainly I don't like to be a seeker.
But if the hero has the sarcastic/troll/goofy personality then I can deal with it...LOL troll hawke was the best!

As long as the Protagonist is a lot less defined than DA2 I'm good. I mean, I'm ok with SOME sort of generalized role for the protagonist. I've never felt hampered by DAO or Fable 2 or etc. But that being said, giving a wide berth for the player to define the character is always something I support, both in the decision's available and in not defining the character too tightly through highly specific dialogue choices and etc. That way there's more room for the player to just use their imagination if they want. That's more important to me than the general role they'd choose.

Of course I'm not interested in the Chantry either, unless it's bashing their heads in, because that's fine.

In a recent interview Mr. Laid law has said that he kind of wants the protagonist to be a Seeker.
He said, " What we want is a seeker, you know a SEEKER." So, it kind of says that DA 3's hero might be a seeker.
However, i dont get one thing- if the hero is seeker then the hero surely cant be a mage.

Anyway guys, would u like ur hero to be a seeker?

As always, feel free to give ur comments.

I pray they change that. Because I will seriously consider not buying it. I do NOT WANT To be forced to play somebody that is PRO CHANTRY

The Seekers did leave the Chantry just like the Templars.

The Seekers left only because the Divine was seen as becoming too moderate.  Belonging to a group that sees any softening of the stance on mages as unbearable would not suit me as a player.

[TEWR]

Some Seekers left the Chantry alongside the Templars. Others remained with the Divine, who is -- technically speaking -- the Chantry itself.

And as has been gone over before, being a Seeker in this current timeframe of Thedas does not automatically make one "pro-Chantry".

Anything but a grey warden i didn't feel like an elite warrior in DA:O more like a butler cleaning everyone elses ass.

I don't see the developers giving us that level of freedom. The Seekers are part of a religious organization; they help enforce the Chantry controlled Circles. Given how Hawke was a partly defined protagonist, I imagine being a Seeker protagonist means certain elements of the character would be outside our control (since the developers are following the Dragon Age II formula for the next game). I don't think it would be entertaining to be a member of an organization that I find to be morally repugnant.

The Seekers are a chantry based group. So how or why would you join them if you hate the chantry?

Exactly. I would not enjoy a game where I was forced to play as a Seeker since I have some pretty big issues with the Chantry. Also, I could not then play as a mage, and I really like playing that class. Furthermore, if we had to play as a Seeker, it would more than likely mean another forced human protagonist again.

I'm hoping that DA3 brings back the different race options.

Even if you could do the mental gymnastics necessary to play a Seeker PC with a current mindset of hating the Chantry, you would have to become MC Escher to accomplish being a Seeker who was never indoctrinated in the Chantry dogma.

I do not want to play a character who used to love the Chantry and now doesn't.  And I don't buy that you can twist the DA lore into a pretzel and tell me that a Seeker could have always hated the Chantry but somehow rose to the most trusted ranks within it.

It would make no sense for BioWare to constrain our role playing with something like that.  Any story backdrop they want to put forward could be handled by a companion who is a Seeker.

[Irkalla]

I would be okay with it if it were one of the origins, but if it were the only option, then NO. I don't want to be forced to play a black ops Templar.

Just like a Templar. But Templars also abandoned the Chantry, and current Thedas is a chaos, so just because you were part of one group before does not mean you are pro anything at the moment. You can just rebel. Hey, a rebel Seeker. 

[Crypticqa]

Do not want, that would basicly force your character to belive in maker..
I will miss you warden

[Xerxes52]

A Seeker as one of several origins? Yes.

A Seeker being the only origin? No.

[Rovay]

I wouldn't mind playing as one. And even if we won't be one, I bet we're going to be affiliated with them one way or another.

I know I've posted before but I have to again cuz the idea of this angers me lol. I absolutely one hundred percent do not want to play as a seeker. No way.Nein. No quiero. In case you haven't noticed I'm not a fan of them lol.

[hitorihanzo]

Do I want to play as a Seeker? Hell no! I don't want anything to do with The Chantry. I'm frankly tired of both them, and the Mage's Circle. I don't want another game focusing on Abominations or Templars. They did that already.

I'm sure Mr. Gaider would be able to craft a decent story out of it, but to be honest, BW's stories of late have gotten in the way of my gaming experiences. And that's a shame seeing as BW can tell a good story when they want to. I would prefer him craft a story with more flexibility.
