I wanted to discuss the different reactions from the world depending on race and background.

[SerCambria358]

From what i got from this. Each race will have one given background but that will change or be altered with the mage class.

I don't know if it'll be changed very much at all. Hawke's background wasn't too different depending on class, Dalish will presumably all come from the same clan, and Vashoth are a whole new society to explore.

Hawke only had one background ever. The only difference would be whether or not he ever went to Ostagar.

It may not vary that much, and the lack of 'origins' could mean it'll focus more on how the protagonist becomes the Inquisitor, rather than the background of the main character. It's possible the Dalish protagonist will come from the same clan, with the role varying depending on class, since the mage might be the First to the Keeper. I think the Vashoth background could be an opportunity for the player to learn more about the Vashoth and Tal-Vashoth. I wonder if the dwarven protagonist might be from Kal-Sharok.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

The only race I see getting different backgrounds is Human, since a Human Mage can't be in the same background as a Warrior/Rogue due to how Andrastian society works. They may share the same family, but everything else will have to be different. Unless they go the Hawke route again but I doubt that since the last game did it.

[JoltDealer]

Qunari will likely be the most interesting to play due to how rare they are outside of Seheron and Par Vollen.  If he or she is a mage, doubly so.

[luckycooky]

Human i am almost always a human so human elf's are quite cool but not that important dwarf are cool. but i dont like tinny things that much 

[ElitePinecone]

I would expect that a qunari Inquisitor will raise the most eyebrows around Thedas. 

 

I'm almost tempted to make a lady qunari mage my first playthrough, just to see how humans (and other qunari) react.

A Female Vashoth Mage Inquisitor would be hilarious to bring to the Qunari, since it goes against the Qun 3 times. She is a women in a male role, a Vashoth, and an unleashed Saarebas. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried killing her on sight.

There is something to be said for subverting patriarchal totalitarian power structures by showing them that a non-adherent female mage can still kick their butts

 

(or whatever the qunari are - I don't know how to begin describing their society)

Certainly not patriarchial. Power doesn't rest with the men. It may not even be particularly totalitarian: the whips are inside the mind and known as cullture and ideology, not a police state. It may not even be a particularly authoritarian culture in the cities- our only experience with the authoritarian aspects has been with their military.

 

It's pretty alien because it completely breaks the family unit and traditional cultural aspects of heriditary class and powers. Whereas even now if you're born in power you're significantly more likely to stay in power through family support and influence, there isn't a meaningful equivalent in Qunari society. There's hereditary breeding towards different classes, but there's not a family culture and genetic determination doesn't necessarily replace whatever other metrics and standards the priest-class uses.

[CybAnt1]

Dunno. We've been told that if you're not-mage (i.e. warrior or rogue), it seems all races will have the same background.

 

Or have we? We know all elves are Dalish, and all qunari are Vashoth. That basically leaves the dwarves. And I would expect a dwarfQuiz to be a surfacer. But who knows? 

 

That said, I wonder if what they said earlier about class and race both playing a role in assigning a background is at least partially true. Like say, for example, the Dalish Elf warrior and Dalish Elf rogue might be from different clans, or at least different "situations" for why they've left their clan. Etc. They could have different backstories, different enough maybe to result in slight differences in dialogue/reactions/etc. 

[TanithAeyrs]

Interesting speculation, they have already said that there won't be playable "origin" stories, but I do hope they offer us some background that differs between races and classes. I usually write a more in depth background for each character once I know what the common background is. This helps with roleplaying a character and encourages me to make each Warden or Inquisitor unique. That was part of my difficulty wth DA2, not enough divergence in my different Hawkes. It increases the games replayability tremendously to have different options. Not saying that they all can't start from something similar - I certainly made a wide variety of Bhaalspawn from the common Candlekeep origin in Baldur's Gate. But, having a slightly different past, or a small set of divergent options like we had in ME when we created Shepard adds an extra element of flavor to each playghrough.

[TanithAeyrs]

Play through. Lol. Where is the edit button?

Wait, was it confirmed that warrior and rouge elf will be Dalish. I only heared that the elf mage wil be Dalish.

[Knight of Dane]

Gaider recently confirmed in another thread that all Elf Inquisitors are Dalish.

Thanks for telling me, although I can say that this info makes me happy.

[Kimarous]

We have too little information on the Inquisitor's potential background to make a proper opinion on the matter. Aside from what the races are, the only other thing we know is that Elf Inquisitors are going to be Dalish. Beyond that, we know nothing. We don't know what the human's history might be like, what the Qunari's story might be like, where the Dwarf hails from, or even what position the Elf might hold in their clan. We don't even know who all the companions are, and how "interesting" they are could depend on how your character, as shaped by their origin, interacts with them.

[Thunderfox]

Well according the PAX/Digiexpo footage, we know the Dwarven last name is Cadash.

[The Qun & the Damned]

As far as we know, Inquisitor Lavellan is Dalish, Inquisitor Adaar is Vashoth(Qunari born far away from the Qun), though what is the story with Cadash and Trevelyan, former Templar/Circle mage, surfacer/exile? I want to know.

 

Also, the fact that the dwarf's clan name is Cadash makes me super giddy.

[Mirrman70]

Trevelyan is the human warrior/rogue name and I doubt that he/she would be a former templar because that would mean having at least some templar abilities from the get go. and Vashoth does not mean born outside of the Qun it means that they simply don't follow it and don't violently oppose it.

[Jessihatt]

I think qunari will be most interesting, definitely.

 

I read somewhere (or heard, I can't remember) that there is at least one scenario or plot that is nearly impossible to complete as a qunari.

That both intrigues me and puts me off!

 

I think when the game arrives at my house, I'll have to flip a coin to decide which race I'll play first - qunari or elf.

Well it's those who left or rejected the Qun, Tal-Vashoth are those who violently oppose it but I am not sure if we ever met a Vashoth who was not Tal-Vashoth.

 

It's not racial specific but I am guessing a racial qunari who was never part of the Qun would still be considered Vashoth because they are one of the sometimes horned people.
