 Think about it, the only survivor to mysterious veil tear event.  Did they survive by chance?  Or maybe they didn't survive at all.  Maybe the inquisitor is like Cole, a spirit that came across the veil confused and more or less melded with the memories of a mortal, forgetting about being a spirit and taking on the mortal's identity.

Just a crackpot theory, but I could see it happening.

It would be an interesting twist.

[Zazzerka]

And now Cole is spoiled for me. Goddamn it. That's what I get for joining the Dragon Age party many years too late.

[Knight of Dane]

Would probably not change anything.

[MisterMonkeyBanana]

I have been wondering the same thing ever since the announcement trailer where the figure rises from the sand and Morrigan asks what the player will do.

[Sifr]

Well, Cole and Justice remembering things about Kristoff's life, does give this some precedent.

[MKDAWUSS]

It's also possible the Inqusitor is the sole survivor because the Inquisitor gets bailed out by Flemeth as well.

Shyamalaned.

What if the Inquisitor is Andraste reborn? Or a dragon?

One thing I've been glad of is the lack of twists regarding the PC's identity and history. And it's a trend I hope continues.

Sorry but who the hell is Cole?

A maniac from the last book.

I hope not, I would rather that the important aspects of the pasts of the main characters are explained when we select said character and that they pull no twist about our self identity.

Fair point

DA's most overpowered assassin. At least in the book he/it appeared.

Well its definitely in Bioware's play book.  See KOTOR.

It'd be nice to have Flemeth bail out the Inquisitor, as per the trend.

I have long suspected she's setting them up as her chess pieces for some future game we know nothing about.

Not really, by the end of the book there's a cliffhanger and unanswered questions, we're not really sure about what he is (it's left something of a mystery). I loved the book Asunder and would recommend it.

Wonder if Flemeth will save the Inquisitor the way she saved Hawke and the Warden.

KotOR's twist didn't necessarily affect the PC's self-identity, though.

The spirit thing can work if the PC doesn't know he's a spirit.  If the PC does know he's a spirit, then the player also needs to know.

What we absolutely cannot have is a situation like KotOR2 where the PC knows a great many relevant things that are kept hidden from the player.

Right. The spirit could think it was the original owner of the body. It could become - depending on your actions - anything by the endgame. Pride, Despair, Hope, Faith, etc. It would be a potentially very interesting mechanic.

We know from Justice that a spirit could be altered - corrupted - by feelings. Why could a demon not be redeemed? 

[Solas]

n.b. I don't think Cole is a maniac after his "Realization" anyway, he seems a lot more mature/in the know/in control after that... you'd be confused and crazy-acting too if you were a spirit/demon/Fade entity that touched the mind of a mortal and got ****ed up and befuddled by it..

...no it isn't. It's spelled out plainly by the end of the book. Cole even says what he is himself at the very end.

I know, I just hope that they doesn't do it. As Sylvius the Mad said it can work, however I do think that it would be a bad twist because why would our Inqusitor be the only sane one (well potentially sane one)? I haven't read Asunder, but Cole didn't sound... sane. And Justice knew what he was and even then I would rather call him stable than human.

So the only way it could work would be if our PC was forced to act bizarelly at some point because else it would feel like plot armour on our sanity. (I know we can create insane character, but this would be a forced difference from a human).

....

Perhaps if we were a Pride demon (or maybe desire), they are suppossed to be acting almost human.

[Gileadan]

I really hope not. One of the things I enjoy most is starting out with a PC who's as normal as possible, and then let them involve into someone special as the story progresses.

I can see the appeal in it though.

The PC being oblivious to it was what I meant

But I think the idea would be that the Inquisitor is not a human (or elf, or qunari) at all. It's just a body that a spirit happened to inhabit. There's no human there, really, for there to be a problem. Or the original was so far gone that blending toghether went perfectly.
