 It might be interesting, but I have my own theories about the sentient darkspawn.

 

Namely, I think the Architect will end up achieving exactly what he intends to prevent.  The moment he gets too close to an Old God, he'll start a blight, even if he wants to end the blights.  He's kind of a tragic character, in that respect.  And, he'll kill thousands upon thousands of innocents if he goes through with his plan, by giving everyone the taint.  His inability to truly understand humans means he's easily manipulated, as well.  No matter his intentions, no matter whether or not he has compassion, he's too dangerous to live.  Not that I don't feel badly for him.  I think he genuinely does mean to do something good.  I just think he's also doomed to fail.

 

So while being a sentient darkspawn might be interesting, I wouldn't expect anyone to treat you kindly for it...

Actually, it seems he abandoned the "Give everyone the Taint" plan when he started his "Give Darkspawn the Warden resistance" plan.

Ok I'd just like to start by saying that this topic isnt about stating that bioware should do this, its just about discussing what you would think about being able to play as a sapient darkspawn (as i can totally see why people would hate this idea).

Awakening showed that darkspawn can have emotions and free will allowing them to make their own choices. the messenger showed that they are even able to show acts of kindness (whether this makes up for him spreading the taint is another matter entirerly).

Therefore it is possible that you could play as a darkspawn with complete free will. It could present an oppertunity to end the blights peacefully and it might be intresting to see how people treat you and show a new pespective.

one of the biggest reasons for not doing this is that it might not even be possible if your warden killed the archietect. It could also seveally limit your interaction with npcs as most would be hostile to you. Also can you imagine the romance scenes? (and if you can, dont).

There are plenty more reasons for and against which I wont write down because i could go on for ages. the topic simply is: what would you think if you were able to play as a darkspawn in a DA game?

(p.s yes I know we were already able to in the darkspawn chronicles it just wasnt quite the same.)

Personal feelings aside, I doubt we ever will because of one simple reason: You can only play as male.There are no female Darkspawn, only Broodmothers. You could argue that Darkspawn are genderless, but that's a slippery slope.

I would be against it for a main story kind of thing, largely because of taint and attack on sight mentality of many. That being said, it could make an interesting DLC to play as one of the Awakened, either working with the Architect or trying to build our own faction within the Deep Roads.
