Human Male Rogue, based on Garrett from Thief.

...as usual.

I think I'm going for a "peace and order at any cost" sort of character. And if he feels that that requires him to sieze control over the whole of Thedas, then so be it. As far as inspirations goes, maybe a cross between Klaus Wulfenbach and Roy Greenhilt? (what do you mean "I read to many webcomics"?)

[Incantrix]

I'll be making a Rivaini born Inquisitor with dark brown skin. He will be a mage whose mother was a seer and kept out of the circle.

Most likely will be a strategist using spirit healing, spirit damage spells and creation magic.

His personality will be close to lawful neutral. Though, on the good side.

I would think he's based off of thrall from wow. Otherwise known as "green Jesus"

Dalish elf mage, as sarcastic as I can possibly get... She wont be based on anybody but where my imagination takes her

[Ser Alicia]

 My first character will be a female human warrior, probably named Asha or Eve. I'll base her personality off of my most canon FemShep, who was full out paragon (a real helpy helperton). She'll help whoever she can, whenever she can, unless it compromises the mission. (Doesn't tolerate blood mages, though.) She'll want to reach peace with as little bloodshed as possible. A true hero. :innocent: 
Then I'll make a female rogue Qunari who is the complete opposite. Loves death and destruction. The end always justifies the means. Ruthless.

I know. If the choice compromises the mission and, I should add, puts anyone in danger or is a waste of time, then she won't help. And if she faces the decision to sacrifice the few for the lives of the many, she would do it. She wouldn't particularly like it, but she would do it.
She can make tough choices, but she'll always try to find a better way to solve a problem.
I guess I should've been a little more specific with my post. I just didn't want to write more than I had to.

Yeah, my Warden was very nice at first, but her family being slaughtered, being betrayed and hunted down by Loghain and his men, etc., took it's toll.

She drank Avernus potion, let him go on with his research and then her ego exploded when she killed the High Dragon on the mountain. Some years later, she felt like everything she did was justified. Not that she went out of her way to be bad.

She saved the Anvil, dealt with the slaves, killed Lady of the Forest, killed Connor, killed Loghain, etc.

A true hero, indeed.

I know you're probably trying to be sarcastic or something (correct me if I'm wrong), but that sounds a lot like my first DAO character. Odd.

Not being sarcastic.

Those decisions seem to be the most practical and beneficial.

Anvil of the Void - destroying it is a bad political move (even though the game doesn't address it). You also have golems in your army, which would be a pretty big deal RPwise.

Lady of the Forest - Yeah, I'm not leaving, so you can prepare a magic barrier to keep me out when I return. No reason to trust her.

Connor - He's demon possessed, and has slaughtered many people. Not taking uneccessary chances.

Loghain - If I'm making Alistair king, then it would be wise to support him instead of undermining him. There's also the fact that he's been hunting my character down for years.

Avernus - The research does yield results.

[Karlone123]

If I play Human, probably one of the medieval characters Sean Bean has portrayed, all with have a dislike of mages and be pro-templar to add drama.

[kathic]

My mage will be a radical.

Sorry, the way I read your last sentence made it seem that way to me. I thought you were mocking my character (I don't know why, I'm very paranoid.)
And I killed Loghain too. For one, I didn't trust the bastard, especially after everything that he's done (I mean, why the hell would you start a civil war in the middle of a Blight?). And also because I didn't want to lose Alistair. I was plannig on being queen, so killing Loghain was a must.

A male human mage is in my sights. I never created a character with prejudice views, but this will be an oppertunity to try it out. With the fact he'll be placed as a leader of an army, I could spark some interesting character conflicts. Personality wise, he'll probably ruthless and unforgiving, but has a sense of humor and not comepletely without mercy.

As for appereance, I'm thinking Edward Kenway.

[mupp3tz]

Female, human rogue. My first playthroughs are usually based on how I would react if I were in the situation. For following games, I then try different paths knowing what options are available to me through the decisions.

I've never really modeled them after a specific figure, but perhaps that's something I should try.

I have to disagree.  A true hero is someone who can walk into a no win situation and find a way to save everyone.


The idea that one needs to make tough decisions and sacrifice people for the greater good is borderline antihero territory in my book.

You can't save everyone in a "no-win" situation. That's why it's called a "no-win" situation.

True heroes have to make tough decisions. In real life and in DA. There's nothing heroic about trying to save everyone when it adds unecessary danger and gets in the way of your main goal.

It's all about preference, though.

I do not like "heroes" that try to save everyone. I like heroes that have a goal and will get there no matter what.

[vortex216]

Well, the way they have been talking about the game, my character is going to be level-headed but with a morale compass pointing North-West. I will also be very curious and always up for a new challenge (so I don't miss much). As far as classes and stuff goes... probably an elven mage.

Female elf rogue...XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS!

And then I will play a Dalish and put the needs of the elves above everyone/everything else and kill every shem that I get to. I do not have high hopes for this playthrough to be very successful.

Then a Qunari who's ruthless yet fair, but it's my way or get the heck out. Rule with an iron fist. Very black and white type.

Then a Human, selfish. puts the needs of the inquisition and his power play above the overall needs of the people.

Umm...but really I have to see what types we get options for.

Well, seeing as we're talking about a work of fiction, you certainly can save everyone in a "no-win" situation.  It's actually done quite often with characters like the Doctor, Superman, and Batman.  Hell, the Kobayashi maru test from Star Trek - which is designed specifically to be a no-win scenario has been beaten a couple of times, one of them by Kirk who has the famous quote about not believing in a "no-win" scenario.


Key here is we're talking about fictional heroes.    In the real world, sure, you can't save everyone in a "no win" scenario.  But in a situation like that would you prefer someone who just nonchalantly makes the call to sacrifice a couple hundred people to save a couple thousand; or someone who is like 'do everything you can to save everyone involved'.  Sure, you might not save everyone.  But who knows, you might only lose 50 people, as opposed to the 100 you just wrote off as expendable, collateral damage.  

Edit: but yeah, anyway, back on topic -  anyone have a suggestion for a good female Dalish name?  I'm terrible with naming my characters  lol

It depends on what kind of a story that fiction is trying to tell.
In some cases, no you can't save everyone - and even the examples listed above have had situations where that's happened.

Spoiler

The Doctor for example loses Rory and Amelia to the Angels, a blow that is somewhat softened by the assurance that they still had a happy life together even if he never saw either of them again. A loss that devastated him for a while.
