I think that is their last name.

If so, I wonder if the human mage would be an apostate then, versus a Circle mage.

[wcholcombe]

From what we have learned about the prologue-I feel pretty certain you will have the opportunity if you are say a mage to indicate if you are pro circle or apostate.

 

There are supposed to be some decisions you make that give your character their background.

 

For some reason I anticipate this being a conversation where your responses form your background.  I could be wrong but that is my impression anyhow.

I'm really hoping for Orlesian chevalier background for humans!

 

But either way I hope the PC isn't from Ferelden again. I'd really like a different viewpoint this time.

[Hellion Rex]

This time around, I might rather enjoy playing a Circle mage (at least for my male human mage) rather than apostate.

1. I do wish everyone could make the choice they wanted.

 

2. But I understand that the devs did this for narrative reasons.

 

3. And I would have played a Dalish first anyway

 

4. But my second playthrough was going to be a city elf Oh well!

I think that select-able backgrounds have gone by the wayside.  From what I've seen, once you pick your race/class, that's what you get.   For example, you can't choose to be a city elf anymore as an Inquisitor.  You're going to be Dalish no matter what.  The City Elf fans aren't too thrilled with this.

Still worst news of Dragon Age: Inquisition.

The Qunari inquisitor is Vashoth but I wonder if they are born outside of the Qun or an escapee.

 

On topic: I'd go for a Saarebas background for the Qunari. Would be pretty awesome.

[Ryzaki]

Yeah I'd pick a city elf.

Aren't escapees considered Tal-Vashoth and not Vashoth?

Any non-violent ex-Qunari are Vashoth, according to Mary Kirby. To be more precise, Tal-Vashoth are Qunari hunters. 

 

I will also add that they may not actively hunt Qunari, just terrorize whoever they can, wherever they are.

Hmm, I'd think the Qunari would consider anyone who leaves the Qun to be opposing it thus deserving the Tal added, but overall it doesn't really matter. We're going to be called Qunari by everyone else anyway. 

[TurretSyndrome]

I don't know if it was in DA 2 or DA:O, I remember someone saying that they named themselves Tal-Vashoth, not the Qunari. 

 

Actually, It does matter to both the Qunari and Tal-Vashoth how you call them, it only doesn't matter to anyone who is not of that race. So when I play the game as a Saarebas, you can bet I will correct each and every human, elf and dwarf who calls me Qunari if I can.

But they aren't wrong though. You are of the Qunari race, just not a Qun Qunari. 

 

I want the Qunari Inquisitor to explain that and end with "I know. It's confusing."

[The Spanish Inquisitor]

First play through is going to be Human maybe a origin type noble background, I would definitely be play all the races but first play through is going to be human with a very privileged background and see how the world reacts. Show the nobles of Orlais that pompous nobility is not an Orlasian exclusive. A Ferelden Noble would be nice, if thats a things. I do hope they would allow to choose nationality.

[Faerlyte]

Having more choice on the background of the main character would be nice, but it is what it is. Even when there are options for background story you are still limited for practicality's sake and generally what I would want isn't on the list so either way I'm out of luck.  

 

I like to fill in the blanks with my own interpretations for the main character as I go along and that suffices for me.

XD

 

Yeees and then when they try to clarify and ask why isn't she Tal Vasoth she can just throw her hands in the air and go "No. I'm not explaining again." "but-!" "No."

[Ryzaki]

...So many double post fails I have

To all Kossith(I will use this word here so it's not confusing for the discussion), the word Qunari is not a racial identifier. It has only one meaning, Qunari - follower of Qun. In any of the games, you can try and argue with a Vashoth or a Qunari about it and they will not want you referring to them all as Qunari. MoTA Tallis keeps correcting Hawke for calling the Tal-Vashoth as Qunari even if Hawke might have been using the word to simply identify the race. 

 

People call them Qunari out of ignorance, not because they are correct. I agree with you though. Imagine trying to explain all that to every idiot farmer we meet in the game. Could make for an amusing banter too.

I'll admit, I am hoping to be a mage-scholar sort of person on my first playthrough. Probably the bookiest inquisitor most will ever play.

 

Will actually be the first time I lead in as a mage, so it should be interesting. I'll even go for a more paragon-ish first playthrough for once.

[Cainhurst Crow]

I want to be a character like Davos Seaworth or Bronn son of you-wouldn't-know-him. Same backstory and everything. Lowly born common guy, turned to the shadier side of things to make some coin, smuggling/mercenary work, fell into the right crowd by chance, ended up in way over their heads, came out of it mostly okay, and they even got to be a lord afterwards.

 

In fact that pretty much sounds like loghains story as well, come to think of it.

A war hero background is always good in my book

Tired, sick, lazy, so I'm not hunting for the source for the elf info. Sorry, but the sinus infection I've been fighting for two weeks has finally caught up with me.  I heard every City Elf fan up in arms awhile back, but I'm not 100% sure if it's the mage thing or if I'm remembering correctly..  It's about 6:30am or so on the East Coast, so folks should be waking up about then.  When in doubt, you can always ask the Twitter thread posters.  They'll probably be able to give you some tweets on the subject.  

aw ok thanks for the heads up about the elf^^.  and I hope you feel better soon.   I also was figthing pretty bad one for 2 weeks...a while back.

I think this is what made DAO the best game , it was like looking a something from different angles . It added to my need to play thru all the origins .

Except that I didn't play through every origin because I didn't enjoy them. And having to go through Ostagar again and again. Rrrrr. And because of that I didn't get to experience the rest of the game with those races. It was great in theory, imo... I much prefer backgrounds that mold how the rest of the game is played. Even if those backgrounds only come from picking a race.

[Mistress9Nine]

I really like comeback stores, so a disgraced chivalier or a scion of a declining Orleasian noble family would be my choice as a human warrior.

 

For human mage, I would very much love a non-apostate, it was always so wierd that everyone felt so at easy arund Hawke when even circle mages were going bat-fesces insane. If I'm a apostate I would expect a lot of prejudice and fear, yet it seemed that (mostly) everyone was OK with me being a totally unsupervised mage. Though as Inquisitor I guess people will look at us in a different light, so it might be a moot point. Either way, I think a circle mage would have a better insight into the mage-templar conflict, so it'd be better flavour for a game.

 

I'm pretty happy that the Dalish are getting some extra love this time around, they took quite the beating in DAII.

 

Cadash dwarves should be neat, I'm hoping for some more lore and related glem stuff.

 

As for Qunari, as they are a new playable race, I'm ok with anything, I'm just happy to get to play them.

I'm really hoping for Orlesian chevalier background for humans!

 

 

 

Ooh, you just made me wonder if the two voice choices we get are between a French accent and a British accent.
