I'm curious why your Inquisitor would even bother with principles at all. Why not throw them in the garbage immediately if they're discarded so very, very easily? 

Maybe he/she meant "traditional" principles like self-sacrifice for others and stuff like traditional, Superman-like, heroes do.

I know my Inquisitor will do whatever it takes to close the veil tear, bring the ones resoponsible to justice, and protect the people of Thedas, mages and common people alike.

For now a male qunari mage who's mean and selfish and greedy and harsh but not totally evil and still willing to do good deeds, kinda like my Shepard and different from my Hawke and Warden who are both sarcastic and laidback.

Oh and he's also a huge **** like all my protagonists. And he shall romance a tiny elf woman. :3

That's hot.

Sounds like my boyfriend. He kind of on purpose likes to do the worst imaginable. I just play to my character, he's like "i hate this puppy. WHOEVER LETS ME KILL IT LIVES"

[David7204]

I don't think so. And in any case, the question still stands. If such things have no value, why not throw them in the garbage immediately?

[David7204]

Apparently not.

[SgtSteel91]

Maybe it's like "the ends justifies the mean" kind of thing? I don't think what Ieldra2 posted were principles but goals worth pursuing and a promise to eliminate those who get in the way of those goals.

Choosing to choose the most rational and logical approach at all times seems like a principal to me.

Then why on a Earth would someone pretend to have a second set of principles simply to throw away and make way for the 'real' principles any time a slightly difficult situation rears its head? That seems to be quite pointless and ridiculous.

[SgtSteel91]

I think the point Ieldra2 was trying to say was that their Inquisitor would be pragmatic. He/she wouldn't care about what others considered 'evil' or 'wrong' as long as it helped them pursue their goal.

[SgtSteel91]

I know my Inquisitor will be pragmatic. He'll, for example, allow the use of Blood Magic and make deals with demons if he know's he stab the demon in the back and still get what he bargained for. But he's not going to sacrifice the people of Thedas, who he's sworn as leader of the Inquisition to protect (well not unless he has no choice or he really does not like the alternatives).

So will mine. But that idea that being 'pragmatic' somehow comes at the cost of principles has no merit. In fact, the exact opposite is true. Principles are necessary for pragmatism.

My first DA:O went with the self sacrifice, I plan on doing the same for DA:I

So "Good" all the way.

[KC_Prototype]

Like all my other first play throughs, A good hearted, noble, brave, bad ass human, male warrior. I probably will tell my soldiers to go to the keep while I and my 3 companions save Crestwood.

[RobRam10]

Powerhungry mage inquisitor.

I'll do some variation on  my usual foundation: Which is unwilling.
It'll be interesting to see how the game provides possibilities for that.

Why unwilling, I haven't decided yet. Maybe a coward, maybe someone who just doesn't care anymore. Maybe someone who were on the way to something different., other ambition.

Actually, John Stuart Mill proposes a system very much like this in Utilitarianism. Under most circumstances, you follow a system of secondary principles (which consist of generalities like "Keep promises," "Do not harm others," etc.); only when these secondary principles are in conflict do you apply the over-arching Principle of Utility directly. The reason why you didn't just apply that principle to every situation, according to Mill, was that utilitarian calculation was time-consuming, and people are generally very bad at it. Thus, the general good would actually be promoted more if people relied on secondary principles most of the time. Henry Sidgwick took this line of thinking even further, suggesting that even though he himself took utilitarianism to be true, it would probably be best if most folk weren't utilitarians.

[David7204]

Huh. That's very interesting. And I mean that sincerely. Still, it's not the same thing as what I'm seeing here.

[Sylvius the Mad]

The same character I always play first. Which, according to BSN's analysis, suffers from anti-social personality disorder.

[Rebel Wolf]

Chaotic neutral always.

If everyone acted as they did on BSN in real life, then people like David would have been exiled a long time ago.

During my first ever playthrough of any BioWare game I always play as myself and make decisions/choices I would pick if I was in that situation (just to see how badly I'd balls things up). Sooooo, I'm not entire sure if my character would be considered good or bad really.

This is how my first run goes as well ... I name him "Stupid" and then run around blindly, hoping for the best. Then the next run (if the game is that enjoyable) I create a female and give her a proper name.
