I think the player character will be a victim of the inquisition. The bulk of the gameplay will consist of dialogue between the player and the inquisitors who are torturing him/her for information. Dialogue will be full-text and not paraphrased, but every option will be "sarcastic" tone.

The climax of the game will be a series of cutscenes with QTE prompts where the character escapes his captors. Credits roll just as he emerges from a sewage tunnel and escapes into the stormy night.

You forgot the part after the credits which questions whether the main character did 'escape' or if the escape was simbolic of escaping reality into their own mind.





The point is we don't know. The only info we officaly is the name and some art.


There was a survey that said you would be part of the inquistion and be charged with uniting Thedas and stopping an army of deamons, part so far that has not been confirmed. 

There should be an FAQ thread.

Anyone want to take it from here?

Also, regardless of gender and class, the player character wears a sexy schoolgirl outfit and dual-wields a katana and pistol.

And is a hairy male half-Dawlf.

To answer your first question: yes, it's almost certain that the player is the Inquisitor. It's not known at this point whether there are any other Inquisitors at all, since the survey implies that the player character is actually involved in the founding of the Inquisition. Because of that, I'd say it's more likely that we're "the" Inquisitor, rather than "an" inquisitor.

We don't know much yet about the plot of the game, but it appears that the mage/Templar conflict isn't the main story. It's part of it (like the Orlesian civil war, and other issues), but it looks like the scope is quite large. I'd speculate that the player will get to influence the outcomes of those conflicts (since the survey mentions using armies, politics, diplomacy, spies, etc) but it's hard to know exactly how at this point. I think the interaction between the Inquisition, the mages, the Templars and all the other factions will be quite complex.

There's a summary of the survey information here, although it's good to keep in mind that it was probably written by a marketing team and some of the information could be out of date.

Linky

At the very least, we know the player character is the Inquisitor - probably the same character wearing a red cloak that's been appearing in a lot of the concept art.

Just to add, the pictures of our "Inquisitor" in the recently revealed concept art appears to wearing the exact same outfit as the two concept pics of the male and female protagonist shown in the survey leak.

I'm of the opinion that we will indeed be part of the Inquisition/the Inquisitor.

I actually want to play the role as the 'Inquisitor' rather than some boring guy/gal that just happened to have family ties to Orlais... Image IPB

Um... but being a victim and rising up against the cruel/corrupt Inquisitors sounds kinda fun too...

Oh, now I'm conflicted... Image IPB

So if we are the inquisitor will we have two companions named Biggles and Fang ? Will we be able to use surprise, fear and ruthles efficiancy as our main weapon and most importantly will the soft cussions be available for all class or just the rogues?Image IPB

Sorry to all, this joke is probably very old now, but everytime I read "Dragon Age : Inquisition" I keep thinking of the PythonsImage IPB

If we have a dog/pets in DA3 I'm totally calling them Biggles and Fang.

No, the seekers and templars were formed from the original inquistion, which seems to have been more of a rogue mage hunting group (possibly vigilantees). The inquisition came together with the chantry to institutionalize it and in the process established the seekers and the templars. The new inquisiton is probably independent of the seekers.

I dont know about the survey' s but here' s my take:

Since there will be character backgrounds, I highly doubt we will be victim' s of the Inquisition so much as we will have an option to be part of it.

Im thinking they will have joinable faction's, which will add to the player' s ability to have an effect on whatever the Goal is from different perspective' s and add to replay ability.

Inquisition itself mean' s "period of prolonged investigation", that doesn't necessarily mean that you have to willingly participate in it, the only requirement is that you be there.

An option to be a part of it also imply the option to not be.

We will either be the Inqusition or the victim.

Though the option to join or opposse would of course be the dream scenerio, I just don't think it is realistic.

If you consider yourself a Victim that means you feel that the Inquisition' s goals would ultimately be successful regardless of player choice, there Is a possibility they could fail... depending on you, at least IMO.

I hope so. I missed being part of a 'formal' group in DA2.

It makes me wonder how a mage class would be integrated into the Inquisition, IF it's compulsory that we join them.

Oh glad. I was worried about that; being a seeker would certainly have taken away from background creation.

Well the game will need to conclude in such a way that it doesn't variate too much. keeping sequels viable.

Look at Mass Effect 3. People want a sequel, but this game's choices and endings spin in so many different directions you'd been to make like six different games to cover everything. That's because it was meant to be the final game in the series. I actually read a quote in Game Informer that said they could do that with Mass Effect 3 because it was the final installment.

Before people start complaining and saying "My choices didn't matter" after playing DA3, remind yourself that most choices take time before you see the impact and consequences. Like how the devs have said your choices from Origins will be highlighted in DA3. The impact of choices from DA2 may not be seen until DA4, and DA3 in DA5. If the franchise even makes it that far.

Also don't expect every small thing to make a difference. Living expecting Orphan Ollie to rise up and lead an elven revolution just because you chose to give a few beggars some coin.

Also the Inquisition is probably Cassandra and her small group of Chantry loyalists. Think about it, Inquisitons in the real world were driven by the church. Cassandra's group are the only group still on the side of the Chantry, the game's church. And Varric was interrogated in DAII, which is what Inquisitions do, interrogate people.

All we can say for sure is that posters on the forum sometimes use "the Inquisitor" to refer to the DA:I protagonist the way DAO and DA2 had "the Warden" and "Hawke," and that marketing at one point was told that the PC being the Inquisitor was under consideration.

If we are part of the Inquisition, that gives me hope that the game will draw more from DAO than DA2. DA2 tried to "do its own thing" a lot more than DAO, which was a fairly conventional story. DAO, imo, was also better told. Perhaps it's better to stick to what you know than to try something you don't.
