She is a cougar! :o :lol:

My thoughts exactly. Place the Inquisitor in his early twenties and then have the bickering nobles of Orlais comment "She is fifteen years his senior."
Like I said, HOT!

Also: "I'm thirty seven. I'm not old."

I'm fine with the PC being nevarran but not with him being related to Cassandra.
You already took Bethany, don't do this to us again, Bioware. Just let us romance Cassandra.

do you really want this?

remember that she is 40-50 year old women with Templar/Seeker raised character and she have scars on her face and body....this is the same as romance with KC Meredith

Wait what Cassandra is 40-50 years old? When did this happen...? I thought she was around her mid or late 30's. 

You are likely correct, PCK. Gaider said; and TWOT confirms it; that "Dawn of the Seeker" happens in 9:22 Dragon and that Cassandra was considered " young" then. Altough we can't tell for sure how old she was at the time, I'd wager she was, at utmost, in her early twenties. Probrably even younger considering children were expected to take responsabilities a lot sooner in medieval times but let's say twenty.
The World of Thedas places her interrogation of Varric at 9:40 Dragon making her around 38 at the time. A year or two could have passed between DA2's ending and DAI's beginning but she shouldn't be much older than 39-40 years old.
Which, as far as I'm concerned, makes her all the more attractive.

Also, Meredith was HOT!


Oh ok thanks for clearing that up, either way I would still romance her. And hell yeah Meredith was hot! I bet when Meredith was younger she was pretty gorgeous.

:EDIT: 
But anyway back on topic. I wouldn't mind the Inquisitor being Nevarran or being Cassandra's sibling. I doubt the sibling part though due to the fact there are people out there who really want Cassandra to be an LI. A lot of people are also pissed off about Bethany and Carver not being an LI because of the sibling issue. Hell, I wouldn't have mind romancing Carver.

I'd love a Nevarran protagonist, especially if it comes with a German accent. Having all the sarcastic Inquisitors' quips delivered in the stereotypically somber German accent would be great.


Being a German, I have to ask: What makes a German accent so fitting? I always thought Nevarrans were intended to be the Thedas equivalent of Spanish-Arabic people.

Zett is unekceptebell!
On a sidenote: Most of us do know how to pronounce the "th". ;)

I think the Nevarran's would associate more with dead dragon imagery. Live dragons seems to be Tevinters thing.

Look like he's a wearing a Seeker ring, so I think typical politics and civil wars are the least of their concerns. This is the Chantry equivalent of a Spectre or Warden.


Seekers, Circle, Templars, unknown(thought to be Tevinter or Inquisition), and a fifth on the thumb. People are thinking the rings either symbolize origin options, or factions we'll recruit/deal with.


I like the 'origin' theory, personally. I think some speculate the ring could be Tevinter or Warden, as it seems like the player will be a member of the Inquisition no matter what.

Having a Nevarran protagonist could mean the player might be a contender for the throne, which might explain why the main character is limited to being human only.

I know this was forever ago, but I remember Laidlaw saying something on Twitter about how there *will* be a variety of background/origin stories to choose from for your character. He also said you will not get to play through the background story(boo) - you just pick from a list. But yeah...maybe one of the options is to come from Nevarra??  

Ohh... this inspired me to make a thread about background brainstorming!

i maybe to naive but i stil hope that they delayed release date to improve the game and add some things what fans asked and to allow us to have at least 2 races for protag and PLAYABLE origins...they still not show us protag in trailer

Being related to Cassandra is a stretch but is a possibility. I highly doubt the pc will be related to her because if Bioware is smart, they will listen to their fans and allow a Cassandra romance. I still believe the pc will be Nevarran.

FAIK Nevarra's only connection with Spain is that it's name is somewhat similar to the historical Spanish region of Navarre. Historically, Nevarra seems to be more like Prussia than anything else. If we take the Free Marches to be like the independent German states pre-unification, one got larger than the others and became a regional power that had designs on uniting Germany and also began fighting and winning wars with France.


That being said, from the stuff in WoT, while the Pentaghast family was known for hunting dragons to near-extinction, Nevarran heraldry seems to have no dragons at all: their national symbol is a skull wearing a crown. No, if you were going to pick a nation to which dragons were important, it'd have to be the Tevinters.

Hmmm... Interesting theory. I would rather have the protag be Nevvaren than Orlesian.

It'll be interesting to get confirmation, since the Anderfels have been explicitly made out to be the Germanic territory. I am only basing my idea of Spain on the historical Navarre though. Perhaps it's something else entirely.

It might be a good time for Nevarra to conquer Orlais. Devastating civil war and everything. Orlesian forces should be in southern Orlais near the capital or heartlands, and the northern cities left open to attack. Nevarra is expansionist and already have control of the Blasted Hills, Perendale, and the Fields of Ghislain, so why not stick it completely to their biggest rival?

Tevinter might take advantage?

Fighting over territory near the border is different from trying to conquer the entire country.

Yeah I think it could be Nevarra or Tevinter. Would be a change from just being Feralden.

On a side note, does anyone else think it is strange that the guard for the sword is attached to the scabbard and not the hilt?

It is on the hilt. Look again.


Left-handed protagonist confirmed! :wizard:

;)



How can you say that the protag is left-handed when he is holding the sword with his right hand???

The Anderfels seem to be based off the Ordenstaat, or the territories in modern-day Eastern Europe controlled by the Teutonic Order (hence, "Ordenstaat" or "Order's State"). While the Teutonic knights, as one could glean from their name, were German, the population they ruled was a mish-mash of all the people who lived along the shores of the Baltic Sea. Replace the Teutonic Knights with the Wardens and it's a pretty clear parallel. German was the lingua franca of this region of the world, but it wasn't exactly "German" as we know it.

The notion of a unified Germany is a very recent idea, something existing maybe only for a few centuries at most. Germany was for a long time much like Italy in that it was more of a geographic designation that grouped a variety of independent states that shared a common language and not much else. Go back to the year 1400 to Venice and a man would say he is Venetian long before he was "Italian", likewise, go to Hamburg in the same time period and a man would say he was a Hamburger before he was German (or even a Hanse before he was German).

Nevarra have no link to Spain.

They have mummies, ancestor worship, love of adventures and heroics, love of death, dedication to art (statues of heroes, elaborate tombs and crypts), strong military tradition and a romantic* outlook on life. It's basically out of a Germanic Hero tale...

*in the sens of heroic, adventurous, remote, mysterious, or idealized.

You can't say Spain wasn't influential on the modern notion of the romantic hero. Remember, where did Don Quixote come from?
