I was hoping we could tell part of the Inquisitors story by the Dalish again, admittedly it was my least favorite origins, at least in the begginning, but the lore behind the dalish is too good to not be part of the Inquisitors tale, AND a tale from their point with a mage perspective is needed I think this time around

[themageguy]

I second that!

I third that!

I'm still hoping for city elf mage (probably the only one here uvu)

Well, yeah. Considering Origins already gave us the opportunity to play as a City Elf mage. Although, on the other hand, we have interacted extensively with Dalish mages in the form of our companions. 

[karushna5]

City elf too when it comes to companions.
City elf: Zevran, Sketch, Fenris, Talis
Dalish: ariane, Velanna, Merrill

So far, we have a slight lead with city elves, makes sense to throw in a dalish PC, especially when Merrill is the only non DLC dalish companion, while city elves have 2

[The Elder King]

We'll not get a choice in the backgrounds, since those are fixed automatically be the race/class combo. So if we'll get a dalish mage, there'll not be city elf mage PC.

[Moghedia]

My first play through is going to be an Elven mage, city or Dalish elf I dont really mind. Both are considered second class citizens and ive always had a thing for underdogs. So being an Elven mage is double underdog i suppose...

[Star fury]

Elven mages in DA should be as hot and as deadly as Eldar Farseers.

Due to the case that their actually are no origins or background stories for the PC - as far as I remember, they were abandoned in order to implement multiple races again. At least that's how I understood it -  I'd think that your character can be every class you want and you'll just forge your background over the course of the game, through dialogue and choices, among other things.

 

But maybe I'm completely wrong. Maybe there still are certain origins. We'll see.

Well, Merrill is actually both, in my opinion. First a Dalish, then a city elf living in Kirkwall's alienage.

It was more when they were going human-only, it was like Mass effect where you had a few options for backstories, but then they added race selection back but each race is limited to only two backstories, a mage one and nonmage one.

Shame that with the introduction of a Dalish as a mage there is a less chance,or not at all, of a Dalish Warrior/rogue origin.

I just listened to that podcast and I have to say that it came across to me that they were heavily considering making the elven mage dalish, but that it was just a possiblity they were exploring. I definitely wouldn't consider that podcast as final confirmation. Although I am slightly biased cause I really don't want to play a dalish Inquisitor.

Someone asked him (Luke Kristjansen) point blank and he said yes, what they are exploring is how different ( special) and diverse the mage backgrounds are and what effect the veil tear has on them and the events that may have lead to it.

The other 2 mage backgrounds will be very different, though your guess is as good as mine for what they will be. besides the Qunari one being a Vashoth.

I assume there plenty of backgrounds to choose from,in case you want to play a mage. I think the Dalish mage background (considering it ends up being so)won't be the only option as there are also a qunari mage and possibly a human mage background.

Yes will have 3 separate mage backgrounds that we be fairly diverse and the tear and the events prior to it may have an impact on some of them in a unique way.

There's no different origins in DAI, our singular origin is sole witness and survivor of the veil tear opening sequence that most likely will not be playable, however our backgrounds and race will give each race a distinct reason for being at ground zero and a valid reason for our race being the inquisitor.

They completely scrapped origins from both DAI and the series according to both Laidlaw and Perry, however Luke Kristjansen revealed that they were planning to do different playable origins in DAI and Gaider revealed some of the planned ones but as interesting as they could've been I 'd rather have different races with tons of additional content and backgrounds that we can fully explore if you want to.

Well you would automatically have to be a circle mage and I guess on the run or involved in the war. We have already had a circle mage elf so a dalish mage could be interesting.

Not to mention that as far as the circle is concerned,race doesn't really matter you are viewed as a mage of the circle.A dalish mage on the other hand is considered an apostate.Not that it matters that much now that the circle system is in shambles...

It will be rebuilt, Better then it ever was and far more secure.

 

Its a system that saw success for a thousand years after all.

No it won't. It'd be a very bad decision from a narrative perspective, erasing the reason for a great deal of DA2 to exist.

It most likely will.

 

From a Narrative standpoint i truly cannot see another option for the outcome considering if you go into wildly differing outcomes for the Rebellion it becomes increasingly difficult to place those changes within sequels.

 

A Rebuilt Circle System however erases the need for differing possibilities.

+1 on this one, it would be very silly to have nothing change after a huge build up for the conflict and the conflict execution.

I never said nothing would change i said it would be rebuilt, likely upon either compromise between both parties or one or the other achieving victory.

 

Its just that i couldn't see a massive societal shift occurring due to the rebellion given how difficult it would to be implement.

As long as the new system changes radically and provides more freedoms to the mages(as it was intended), then I can see it being rebuilt again.

 

Freed mages also erase that need.

I doubt that they will allow the mages to be freed...Even if they did,it's more likely they will be marginalized by the society.

Dalish mages are nice and all, but the real question is...CAN WE PLAY AS  A SAAREBAS?! 

 

Having your mouth stitched shut, or possibly your tongue ripped out would make an interesting playthrough from a RP standpoint .XD

So... toss the templars, toss the Chantry, have a new group of soldiers who have templar training but have no religious affiliation, abolish Tranquility... all for starters. We could work with this.

No we can't,considering that the devs have stated that our qunari inquisitor won't be a follower of the qun. It's unlikely to see a saarebas in this case.
Though it will definitely be an interesting playthrough.
