I understand that this is Dragon Age: Inquisition not Dragon Age: Origins.

I am deeply upset that we will not have additional races, but I can live with that if the character creation has truely become much more customizable. I still enjoyed Dragon Age 2, afterall, without additional races. It did irk me that character creation was not expanded much.

If one storytelling point continues to be missing, it will kill my immersion and may drive me away from this genre entirely. I dislike Skyrim ( what feels like aimless wondering and lacking meaningful companionship) and Dragon's Dogma (flashy with poor control and special effects/gimmics over story), so I don't have much else to turn to. I enjoy your storytelling, so this would be a big loss to me. This storytelling point is a starting point for my immersion into the story.

In Origins, I knew why I became a Grey Warden because I experienced it. I felt like it was my story, and I was immersed in it. In Dragon Age 2, this immersion was shortened, but it was still present. I was Hawke, I became the Champion of Kirkwall because I needed to escape the Blight and make my way into this new world of the Free Marches. I experienced my escape from the Blight first hand, and I made the choices that led me to become the Champion of Kirkwall.

I do not, and I repeat: I do not, want to simply be an Inquisitor sent off into a mission with no sense of self besides the random choices I stumble upon during a mission. I want to experience my character becoming an Inquisitor, if that is what they are to become. I do not mind if some training and studying periods between that and undertaking of my mission are fast forwared or entirely skipped. I really do not mind. I want a better starting point than being told I am something and being thrown into a mission.

I do not know what the plans are. I have heard rumors that there will be Backgrounds instead of Origins to choose. I have apprehension because of these rumors. The background concept was something that bothered me most about Mass Effect besides the first person shooter feel (I hate shooters and dislike guns in games reguardless).

I can wait for an response. Dev's, you can put this topic on your favorites/saved/etc list for later and wait til January, 1 2013 to respond to me. I just want to know as soon as you can possibly tell me. If you can give me a hint now in this topic or in private messages, I would be overjoyed. I know I might be asking for much.

It's not confirmed yet we are the inquisitors. All we can do for how is speculate.

I already addressed that Teddie Sage. The following is below:

The Inquisition is a sufficiently critical part of the plot that we named the entire game after it. You can probably assume that your relationship to it will factor significantly into the story. The start of the game will help you to establish how and why you are involved in the plot, yes.

[Scarlet Rabbi]

Is it even confirmed the PC is an inquisitor? Where are you getting this info?

For all we know we might be able to choose which side of this "Inquisition" we're on; again, if that's even the story-line. Assumptions are bad for your health, avoid them.

Impressively precise phrasing there.

I am much less concerned after your response Mary, thank you. I will remain somewhat skeptical as always, but I have a feeling you understood my rant and gave me a good response that I believe is appropriate from your position.

I can't tell if he is being sarcastic. I don't really understand that comment, that's for sure.

You have the makings of a master politician. Impressively vague and oddly reassuring at the same time.

Which is why she is David Gaider Favorite. Though it is kind of obvious that if they named the game Inquisition that your role in it would be explained at least as well as your role in the grey wardens in DA:O.

That's funny, because some folks on other threads are insisting that the main character will definitely be a member of the Inquisition, without a single link to one of the devs or writers making any statements to that effect.

Okay. Cool, now at least have some "Word of God" on the subject. Thank you, Mary.

Still that leaves some room for interpretation. For all we know (and for all the writers are likely to say on the matter at this point in time), we might start the game as a prisoner of the Inquisition, or an individual being hunted by it. Until more information is available I am not going to assume that the protagonist is affiliated with them in a way that is necessarily positive.

Should we really be playing favourites, David?
