Poll: http://social.biowar...65/polls/39924/

I'm surprised that this hasn't been a thread yet. Anyway, given what we know about DA3, namely:

- It will primarily involve the Mage - Templar War;

- It will feature Orlais, but cover a much larger area (many times the size of Ferelden) as well;

- It will have a voiced protagonist (this makes non-Human protagonists less likely as they require different voices);

- It is called Dragon Age 3: Inquisition.

So there are a few obvious choices (not mutually exclusive):

(1) An "Inquisitor" affiliated with the Chantry (at least nominally), most likely Orlesian. This is the most popular, almost fanon option, but not officially confirmed by BioWare;

(2) A Tevinter Magister answering to the Imperium (at least at the start). An obvious choice since Tevinter is the center of Magic in Thedas, and hasn't featured in a DA game before;

(3) A Qunari Agent, possibly Double Agent, possibly not Kossith (like Tallis). Qunari involvement in the war seems inevitable, and Seheron/Qunadar hasn't featured in a DA game before either;

(4) A Free Agent with no association from the start. This will give the story more flexibility, but may also result in a relative lack of focus. DA2 can be classified as this;

(5) A representative of one of the minor factions of Thedas, e.g. Elves, Dwarves, and smaller nations such as Rivain & Antiva. This is not very likely IMO.

So what do you think?

It will not focus on the Mage - Templar War.

Seriously why should my character be bothered with this pathetic war?

I don't prefer playing as mage in any RPG. I don't play religious character like the templar either. Neither do I wish to pretend kneeling to any silly false game's religion.

The DA 3's main protagonist better be someone neutral and non religious warrior or rogue character. Otherwise DA 2 would be the last BioWare's game I purchased..

Why do you guys keep using youtube as your source? Could you link me to something non video nature documentation? I have slow internet connection due to limited monthly broadband's quota. Thank you.

Thankfully, DA2 didn't set up for a mage - templar war.

Wait.

• Circumstances.
• It's a large-scale war.
• Your character is not you.

Don't self-insert and your problems are solved!

Well do you have any official statement that confirm any of my concern above instead of.... this what?

[garrusfan1]

I would have to understand the whole story but from what it sounds like your 1st option is likely. Though I would like to play as different people

[GodWood]

Need more information about the game.

[Masha Potato]

Chevalier Paul Includent will certainly be the protagonist

[DRobin13]

1. I don't believe the Mage-Templar War will be the main focus just a fraction of the bigger plot.
2. I think we'll be given mutliple races to choose from or at least the orginal 3 (human, elf & dwarf) since a voice can go w/ any but hopefully we get the option of Quari as well.
3. I think the netural party is a good starting point, like in Skyrim you got to choose which side you wanted to fight on. So this would be an interesting thing in DA.

Still can't really say till more information is given

Thank you for that link, it made my day. 

I highly doubt that a Qunari Agent will ever be the only choice for the PC origin simply because the Blue and Orange morality of the Qun is likely going to scare off a number of people/ make it harder for them to roleplay. Unless the first thing that you can do in the game is subvert the Qun, but that would make the whole 'Qunari Agent' thing pointless.

I voted 'Free Agent' mostly because the other options, I felt, had too much starting baggage attached to them. Each of the DAO origins and Hawke had very different backgrounds that allowed you to make any sort of characterization for your character without it getting too linear, I feel.

I think that origins such as Chantry Inquisitor and Tevinter Magister limit character building to a large degree because those origins come with their own established charcteristics. For example, a Chantry Inquisitor would have had to have had some sort of good relationship with the Chantry as well as being considered trustworthy, skilled, and competent to even be considered for the role of Inquisitor. Likewise, a Tevinter Magister would have had to have engaged in all of the things that Tevinter Magisters do, like Blood Magic and at least tacit acceptance of slavery. Such origins already establish your character too much, and would allow for very little breaking from their mold, I fear.

Something like initiates in the orders might be more acceptable, as the requirements for becoming a novice in an organization is much less strict for those at the lowest tier, therefore allowing for the player to exert greater control over their PC.

Well, leaked information that has already proven itself pretty accurate would imply that the Inquisition is the successor to the Chantry after the Chantry [fractures?] [is destroyed?] [is disbanded?] [something else?] The Inquisition is the Chantry 2.0 and was formed to try and stop the madness that's enveloping Thedas as a result of the events of DA2,and that's basically all we know about it, but I'd be willing to bet just based on what I know of Bioware that the following will be true:

1. It'll be a lot "cooler" than the Chantry 1.0 because Bioware wants all protagonists to be "cool."

2. Characters will continually point out that the Inquisition is NOT THE CHANTRY and it's TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Whether it is or isn't remains to be seen, but we can be pretty sure that ...

3. ... the Inquisition won't be a primarily religious organization and we'll have the choice between why we're an Inquisitor and why we're doing whatever it is that the game wants us to do and let us be reluctant if we choose. It'll make us do that stuff ANYWAY but I will eat my shoes if the game is like YEP YOU'RE A HARDCORE ANDRASTIAN, GO.

Chantry is fractured, though that's not originally from the survey link. The templars have split off. Speculation that the Inquisition constitutes Templars 2.0 has to do with the original Inquisition becoming the Templar order according to a codex. The Inquisition according to the survey is not mage-templar war specific but trying to find out who the mastermind behind the war is and stop them(and presumably any more chaos they wish to cause).

From the survey that leaked companion details, plot summaries, so forth. Was basically confirmed as legit when Inquisition was announced as the title

[Urzon]

I'd laugh if the "Inquisition" was just the fill-in name for the group the PC is going to join/lead, and they placed it there just for the survey to make the order sound cooler. Now, us fans are just taking it as fact since the game's name turned out to be "Dragon Age: Inquisition".

Origins wasn't called "Dragon Age: Grey Wardens". Just like, Dragon Age 2 wasn't called "Champion of Kirkwall". They don't really name the game after the group the PC joins, or the rank he holds.

The survey contained information about the Inquisition and the Inquisitor and was leaked weeks before Inquisition was announced as the title. That's why it legitimizes it. Unless Bioware named the game Inquisition just to validate an extremely legit leak that was actually fake to mess with us, the main character is an Inquisitor, like the survey said.

Oh GAWD, I would laugh so hard if BioWare was just trolling us all with the survey stuff. I don't mind the premise if it is legit, but the cajones required for such a prank would just be awesome. Now I have a mental image of Laidlaw and Darrah, faces replaced by Troll Guys, skipping together, arm-in-arm, into the Canadian sunset as the BSN explodes into a mushroom cloud when the actual plot is revealed. (someone make this for me? I've had a really bad day. Flapping heads ala South Park Terrance and Philip totally optional.)

It doesn't legitimize the whole survey. It only proves that part of the survey was true, and even then; the "Inquisition" was only one of the numerous choices BW was asking the opinion of for the title.

Plus, I wouldn't get to attached to any one idea for now, because other than the leaked survery (that might or might not contain anymore true info) and title; we have absolutly nothing concrete on the game. Not to mention, BW still has time to go back and edit/change/tweek any names, characters, and locations if they so desire.

Would be interesting to play as the Dog. Just sayin.
