As long as they provide a good reason for us being an inquisitor and a good reason for us to be in charge of saving the world I'm fine with being an inquisitor.

I have no doubt they will do that part well

Y'know, because saving all civilization and intelligent life is so last year...

To be honest, I don;t want to save the world anymore. I get enough of that from Mass Effect.

Id rather it be a grounded story like Hawke's again, although its clear it will be far from a personal tale in Dragon Age III so far.

Has there been anymore news or possible leaks about DA3 yet?

[Renmiri1]

oh found this the other day on a playthrough, about Inquisitors.. they were templars!!!

Is there any way to see the concept art that was posted and then removed? Or has it all been nuked forever? I am VERY curious to see it in the style of the DA2 character art.

It's the other way around, actually, the original Inquisition formally merged with the Chantry and became the Templars and Seekers. 

(Asunder spoilers) - at the end of Asunder, the head of the Seekers tore up this agreement and split the Seekers from the control of the Chantry and its Divine. This is in 9:40, or roughly at the time when the next game is thought to begin.

We haven't been told if the Inquisition in DA3 is a literal continuation of its original form, but given Cassandra's involvement in the plot and the wording of the marketing survey, I'd argue it's more likely to be a new organisation that puts religious motives and mage-hunting aside in favour of finding out what's causing the chaos across Thedas.

It'd only be an Inquisition in the loosest sense of the word ('finding out things'), and not with the real-world overtones of violence, nor the historical association that Thedas has with the proto-Seekers/Templars hunting heretics or mages.

[LinksOcarina]

I have the pictures saved personally, I mean the concept art looks pretty good overall. I am especially curious about the spearman we saw personally, not only due to his appearance (which looks a bit rotund compared to everyone else) but also due to the fact that hes holding a spear?

Perhaps they will add more weapon classes? Hopefully crossbows makes a return as a warrior-specific ranged class...well, one can hope I guess.

However, Shianni . . .

Ohhh, Shianni. I loved that elf. I wish wish wish that something or other brought her back for DAIII. I don't care that she's ten years older. Gods, I love that elf.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, as well. I wasn't fond of the name at first, but it's definitely grown on me.

Assuming what we're seeing so far is accurate, of course. And I hope it is. It sounds pretty cool, in my opinion.

I think it's just the side-cloak thing giving the impression that he's larger than he really is. Look at his arms and he actually seems fairly thin.

I think so as well. The cloak makes him seem bigger than he is.


But that reminds me of something: Why have we never had a companion that is not built like a  model? I mean, I like a good figure as much as any other girl, but I'd really like to see a girl/guy who is on the pudgy side. Especially if s/he's an LI because that would make for great 'Baby, I love your body, don't let others get you down' fluff.

But alas, it'll never happen because most players would get butt-hurt over not getting their ego stroked by scoring an absurdly hot girl/guy.

For shame.

I love the idea that it's a sort of desperate organisation set up to confront all these crises but with no institutions or real rules of conduct - the Wardens were bound by all sorts of customs and traditions (they even signed treaties), whereas an Inquisition occupies a murky space that has an aim in sight (preserve Thedas) but no established methods. If done well it has some intriguing implications for how to handle major story points. 

Particularly when we're not sure if competing factions (Chantry loyalists, mages, the broken Circles, the Seekers, the Templars, both sides of the Orlesian civil war, the Fereldens, the Wardens, the city-states in the Free Marches) even acknowledge the authority of any Inquisition, given the huge divisions that have opened up post-DA2 and Asunder. At the very least it opens up all sorts of fascinating story possibilities, where the player character is moving between huge forces in Thedas (the Duke and the Empress, say, or Ferelden and Orlais) trying not to antagonise both while working to stop whatever is sowing discord.

An interesting idea!! Would rock if it was a new order comprised of mages, templars, seekers, Ben Hasserath (hello Talis!) and people from all over Thedas who want to stabilize the world!

Because Bioware then has to make more body models. So, warrior, rogue or mage, everybody is a bodybuilder.

To be fair, if you're a strong skilled warrior or an agile rogue, your body is probably going to reflect that level of physical skill.  Mages, well, I always thought those Mage robes in the circle tower in DA:O made my Mage look a bit pudgy.

[Renmiri1]

Oh Come on!! Whynne was 50 year old Granny / Mom like and Avelinne was butch!

Although I have seen a thread here of someone wanting Meredith as LI so I can totally see some players begging for an Avelinne, Wynne and Meredith mod!

Anders is not bad for a mage..

I really liked that, personally. I always thought that Jowan looked a little on the heavy side, and I loved that about him. I'm probably in the minority, but I'd absolutely romance a character like that. I'm pretty indifferent to how "fit" a given character is. If I like them as people, or think they have an interesting story, that's really all I need.

I know, I know; weird.

The real limitation is just how many body models Bioware is willing to make.  For Mage only robes it made sense even if it seemed funny that my Mage got washboard abs the second he went for the arcane warrior spec (Magical workout routine, I guess ).

On the whole, I'm willing to go with everyone have the same swimsuit model bodies as long as the rest of the game was great.  But hey, SW:TOR allowed you to make overweight characters, so there is hope.

You never know! Especially now that they want to keep the companions looking iconic, it will probably mean they'll each have their own unique body shape. We might get to see an over weight Elf yet! (DotS doesn't count lol.)

Oh, I know; I'd (personally) prefer that the resources be spent on extra content for characters or something else similar, as well. Non body-builder characters are still something I'd like to see, though. And it's never been a deal breaker for me.

And I love that about SW:TOR! I think every character I rolled at first was one of the "dat ass" female characters. I loved finally having hips!

Personally, I'd like to see character models in the other direction.  So maybe my character was scrawny starving thief before he got his world saving credentials (Yeah, I know all the elves in DA2 look like that but you know what I mean!)
I was happily able to create a pretty scrawny looking former slave in SW:TOR

I hate the Lara Croft busty fan service females some games force you to pick but the models on DA and ME are ok. Is fun looking fit as a warrior from my couch
