Female Inquisitor ftw!!

[themikefest]

Anyhow, given an option and the game is compelling enough for you to replay many times over, do you see yourselves replaying the same female inquisitor (albeit with differing alignments and outcomes in the story) or trying different races and possibly gender?

My main femquisitor will be the one I will do the most playthroughs with. From the best playthrough to the worst possible playthrough

 

I have plans to have at least one playthrough as a female Elf, a female Dwarf and a female Qunari.

 

At this time, and I'm sure it will change, I will do at least one playthrough as a male Inquisitor

[Enigmatick]

Any chance you have a selection bias on your sample?

 

You've already (long ago) posted a "why is this thread even still here" type of message in this thread.  Is the topic one that you're actually interested in?  Or are you trying to silence people by implicating that continuing on this discussion is, on the whole, harming the game's image to the gaming audience as a whole and undermining its chances of success?

Maybe, it seems to be a sizeable part of a lot of gaming communities who say this when DAI is brought mostly referring to the "fully gay" articles taht came out at the time of Gaider's interview.

 

I asked that because it honestly seems like this thread got derailed a long time ago, I was just wondering what the topic was now.

I plan to play every possible combination of race/class/gender (assuming it doesn't turn out like ME3 which I had made similar plans about) with human being at the very bottom of the pile.

[HuldraDancer]

I plan to try to get different Inquisitors in with different personalities. I ended up making characters already and now I really want to see them through, I've got at least two or three dwarfs, two qunari, and an elf. How the combat handles through dictates where or not if I play different classes but so far I've got an even spread of the classes between them. I just hope I can do the characters I've created justice.

Since I'm likely to play a female Inquisitor, I like that we've been seeing one in marketing quite a bit.

Here's hoping the game doesn't render a lot of your ideas null and void. 

[RevilFox]

I mostly only ever play a male character to explore romances with characters I like but aren't female options, like Jack or Morgan. Although I almost never finish those playthroughs.

I plan on playing each gender of each race at least once. How many times after that, if at all, depends on the game.

Thanks I hope so as well, first time I've made characters before hand I got to say I'm attached to them especially my two Female Cadash and my Male Adaar. I wont' be ticked off if I can't make them exactly how I want but I would be bummed about it for a little while^^;

You've made them and grown attached? You're setting yourself up for disappointment at this rate.

I know. I blame the Varric thread for it. Once I had a name and face everything else soon followed. Like when you take in a stray as soon as you name it you're too attached already

 

At least I know I'm going to be disappointed so I'm bracing myself for it so there's that at least?

At least by the time you started this we have some specifics down in terms of backstory. 

[aTigerslunch]

Yeah that works.    I have my first being a female Qunari, then will play every race once.

Glorious news for many of the denizens of this thread:  We Have Always Fought won the Hugo for Best Related Work (and the zine it is in won best fanzine, so yay).  It's the first time a blog piece has even been nominated, and it won. 

 

One of the ways, though by no means the only one, that this year's Hugos were a celebration of diversity in the genre as well as damned fine writing.  Speculative fiction is  a large ship, but it seems to actually be starting to turn ...

AND AND ANNNND: Take a look at the illustration for Human in D&D 5th Edition:

 

 

Reasonably realistic armour (except for the boob-cups), and a beautiful badass. 

 

A good start to the week all round, really.

Out of curiosity is anyone keeping a running,list of appearances by female/male inquisitors?

That...could actually be an awesome thing...maybe to add to the OP? (If Brass_Buckles wants to have it there of course!)

 

The female Inquisitor specific stuff that I can remember:

Well, so far we have seen close ups of the Human Male, Human Female, Qunari Female, and Elf Female.

I hope we can see armor similar to that in DA:I

No, but from memory I have:

 

E3 2013, Fires Above Trailer: - ambiguous*

 

Gameplay stage demonstrations that year: human male warrior

 

E3 2014, First Trailer (unnamed I think): human male

E3 2014, Heroes Trailer: human female

E3 2014, gameplay demonstrations: qunari female mage

    - there were two other demoes of other classes not publically released one of which was a dwarf male rogue.

 

Gamescom 2014: Enemy of Thedas Trailer: human male warrior

Gamescom 2014: gameplay demonstration: human female warrior

 

Box art: ambiguous*

 

All the magazine covers I've seen had the human male warrior.

 

*The ambiguous protagonist happens to look suspiciously like a human male.

 

(edit)

Mike Laidlaw tweeted a couple of pictures of a female elf mage, and the Gamescome gameplay demonstration showed three or four male human heads from the character creator, if you count those.

I like a variety of PC types in Dragon age and feel more compelled to try as different races and gender, compared with ME where the majority of pt I had were vanguard femShep. Having such a huge diversity in not only class but specialisation also makes the original choice for DA:I harder!

 

 

I have to admit, I'm pretty monotonous when it comes to my DA characters. My headcanon warden was a human female rogue, and my Hawke was also a human female rogue. I did try playing some of the other DA:O races and classes but lost interest pretty much after the origin stories were completed. My first DAI playthrough will also be a human female rogue! I don't know yet whether I will attempt other playthroughs. I tend to spend hours and hours and hours happily exploring game worlds, if I have that opportunity, so I may actually find pretty much everything of interest in DAI during my first playthrough. I've made it a personal goal to find all the hidden caves and things that Mike Laidlaw asked to have put in every open-world zone. ^-^

 

Awesome I never would have played DA:O (the advertising made it look like a generic orc slaying story-light dudebro game) if my cousin hadn't brought it over and said "here, play this."

 

I can't wait to roll my first lady inquisitor, I'm totally going to make a doll/action figure of her (I make dolls >.<) and it will be glorious! I wish we could get our hands on the CC T_T

 

Even though I knew BioWare games usually let me play as a female lead, I wasn't really paying attention to their games when DAO came out. As a result, I only knew about it from a bunch of my female friends who told me I needed to buy it. Still sceptical, I was happy to learn whilst visiting my brother that he had bought it for his XBox, so I was able to play a bit on his console. That hooked me and I bought the game before returning to my isolated home in the north, where I promptly found myself staying up until 2 am on worknights regularly, playing the game. I played it so much I finished the game in like a week or two! I remember thinking "But... that's all? I killed the Archdemon and now I'm done?  *sniff*." Such a profound sense of disappointment yet also satisfaction - it was a strange mix! And I was glad when Awakenings came out.  

 

So dolls...?  Like BJDs or another kind?   I keep thinking of making an Alistair cosplay for one of my BJDs...

 

I definitely plan on playing multiple races and classes, and I'll do at least one male playthrough.  Though, I almost always wind up making the same choices in these games because I have a hard time playing an evil or overly aggressive character.  It will be interesting to see if DAI follows the Dragon Age tradition of making some of the major choices morally questionable either way, rather than the more straightforward paragon/renegade approach.

 

 

I struggle with pure evil characters too. I have one full renegade femShep, who's reckless but not necessarily selfish. She is kinda awesome, but some decisions were very difficult to make, because they just came across as just being mean for no good cause other than being selfish. (And that's not how I picture the definition of a renegade)

 

Me too! That probably also feeds into why I can only seem to manage one playthrough... I tend to make the same choices because I can't bring myself to play an evil, callous character. I did try to set out on the right (wrong? ) foot with my Dalish Elf warden - killing those human peasants who wandered into our forest - but I just couldn't go through with always being hardhearted. :/

 

Absolutely! Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the Uncharted series are some of my favorite games. I like both of the main characters a lot, and I have no problem playing as them. Drakes a fun and charming personality and Adam Jensen, while not quite as interesting, is still a fun character to me. Watch Dogs and Far Cry 3 however? Both are Ubisoft games that were too afraid to break from the mold even when it would have better served the project to have a protagonist who was not a straight white male. I'm fine with fixed characters, but I want to see some diversity. For all the criticism we have rightly leveled at Ubisoft for its lack of female protags in the main series of Assassins Creed, they have done other things to add diversity to that line up. The first game featured a Middle Eastern man as the lead and the third featured a Native American man. ...However now two games are coming out this year with white guys...so...they do deserve some heat this year haha

 

One of my friends used to work for Ubisoft. He has moved on to another company now (not BioWare, though ). But if he was still with Ubisoft, you can bet he would have been one of the loudest voices at team meetings arguing for them to include women in Unity and other games. His wife (one of my best friends) often says ruefully that he is a much better feminist than she is.

So so far it seems that in advertising and demos that the genders are represented roughly equally

 

That makes me very curious to see the stats after a year or two after release, and see how many people played as what gender, I know for Mass Effect 3 the ratio was roughly 80-20 Male to female Shepards

[SardaukarElite]

They are. However, if you break it down, I would say that trailers mostly feature male characters and the more detailed demonstrations mostly feature female characters. I suspect someone's first impression of Dragon Age: Inquisition would very likely feature a male Inquisitor. Though I don't know if that counts for much.

[aTigerslunch]

I played Mass Effect with one male and one female, completed the female all the way thru ME3, the male is still dead and growing a new body at ME2, where I left him. So, yeah ME2 and ME3 only played once thru and it was femshep.

 

I played one noble male Warden the others female of each origin, never played a male Hawke and played one of each class.

 

DAI will be female Qunari, female elf, female human, male human and maybe a male dwarf or female dwarf. In CRPGs I play more females than males, while tabletop only played two females out of many males.
