The current consensus is that most, if not all of Dragon Age 3 will be about stopping the Mage/Templar war.
I personally have no interest in the Mage/Templar war, to me its just another conflict about whose in control.
So my question is, Story wise, what excuse will I be giving as to why I can't stay out of the war?

Also, just out of curiosity.
If it was your job to get me involved in stopping the Mage/Templar war.
What would you say and/or do to convince me to get involved?
Keep in mind, I would have no sympathy for either the Mages, Templars or the costless innocents.

Proffit. Earning cash from it. Gaining experience and equipment. Play it as a mercenary.

Prior to the Dragon Age 2 announcement, the consensus was that it would be about the Grey Warden fighting another Blight. After the first Blink trailer came out, people thought it would be about Flemeth leading an army of mages against the Templars.

I remember people saying DA2 had an army of Morrigans in it. I think there was a screenshot from a trailer, or something like that.

Oh not this again, this is like saying ''I don't want to play as a Grey Warden in Dragon Age: Origins, so what reason will I be given to be forced to play as one?'' Or: ''I don't want to play as an Assassin in Assassins Creed, what reason will I be given to force me to play as one?''

If the game is about an Inquisitor trying to stop the Mage/Templar war, I don't think you'll have much choice in the matter.

"Hello! I am a [Mage or Templar] and it is a splendid day to come visiting New Far Distant Pooptown. You there, what is your name?"

"Hello, I am Pro von Tagonist, and I am a Certified Public Accountant at our Village Waterpark."

"Oh, splendid! Say, did you know my friends and I are fighting a war with the [opposite group]?"

"No, I did not know that. I am a painfully boring human being with no interest in the world beyond our kick-ass bakery."

"Splendid! I guess it follows logically that I will ask you an important question that will shape your life."

"I would like that. No one talks to me. I spend all of my life writing snarky things on the Chanter's Board and hoping to make someone sad."

"Splendid! No one will miss you if you died, anyways. That answers my question! Now, give me a bag of muffins and my friends and I will depart for Old Poopview using the Waterfall Road. Did I misenunciate? Let me repeat. Ol-d Poop-view, via the Water-Fall Ro-ad."

"You did not misenunciate, because that is not a word and so it is not a thing that you can do."

"Thank you for the Legendary Muffins Of A Unique Recipe, and also go to hell! LOL!" *rides away*

The next morning...

"Hello! I am a member of the [Other Group]! Have you seen a man who says Splendid a lot? I already know the answer, and I will murder you if you lie to me."

"... Yes."

"I will murder you a lot less now, but I still might murder you some unless you tell me where they are."

"They went to Old Poopview via the Waterfall Road."

"They have no provisions, how do they have the energy to travel?"

"I gave them muffins."

"Murder everyone!" *almost everyone is murdered*

"That was a good job of murdering I just did. Ok, survivors, you can now bury your men in the swimming pond and wash your violated women below the waterslides. I ride for Old Poopview via the Waterfall Road."

*We all hate you very much now, from our insides out."

*in the middle of the night, a pillar of fire erupts on the Waterfall Road*

"Hello, Splendid village! We have returned with the dawn after springing our successful trap! Thanks for playing your unwitting part in the ruse! We only regret that [The Other Group]'s leader escaped with a brochure to your waterpark and the half empty bag of Unique Muffins that you and only you produce fresh each morning. Also, he is the Empresses' favorite piccolo performer but I am sure you can explain your helping a known fugitive to the local authorities more believeably than he can. Also, I'm the fugitive, LOL!"

"I hate you now too."

"I guess you and I could follow the haunting melody of his piccolo and perhaps catch up to him in the forest. I owe you that much revenge. We can bring two others at most because of memory concerns on Consoles.

"Consoles?"

"Consoles is my horse and he paranoid around people. He is afraid they will push their genitals against his spine. So I guess he is not really paranoid because that is how you ride a horse."

"What if I do not want to go? It is important to have a choice and I require the choice to stay in this village and be a nobody doing nothing."

"You can stay in this village with your dead friends and your battered women and die when the sheriff comes, or you can come with me and there will be all the spreadsheets and conversations you could ask for, also we can perhaps prevent the sheriff from ever knowing you helped me."

"I am ****ed, am I not?"

"Splendid! It's settled."

You are travelling with your family to another city.
 
If you play a mage the road takes you to a templar camp where all your family is killed apart from yourself so you can fight against the templar’s.
 
If you play a rogue or warrior the road takes you to a mage camp where all your family is killed apart from yourself so you can fight against the mages.

I know I won't have a choice in the matter.
I'm just hoping for a really good reason to care about something I have done so many times before.
I mean really, having to stop a war between two groups has become such a cliche in RPGs.

Is it really love, if I'm just being used?

I noticed that alot of suggestions require me to have loved ones, be it family, friends, etc
I thought one of the big complaints of Dragon age 2 was the forced family?
Either way, if I'm forced to have loved ones, can I ask that are at least be loveable. failing that, can they be not be whiny.

So has saving DA WORLD. Or your town. Or a damsel in distress. Or delivering a package.

There is little the devs can do to make you care, other then show you the world and hope something interests you.

Because we must have a perfect family? Like everyone has in real life.

In this case, Yes, the family would have to be perfect.
Why should I go fight in a war if I don't like the people I'm fighting it for?

I only want a good excuse for having to get involved, and a whiny family is not a good excuse.
And before anyone asks, No, I would join the war just to get away from my family.

What a silly question.  You're the player character, that's why!
