Like in Heroes.

Next moment BOOM, you're ripped through the fade and this crazy chick is shouting accusations and has a sword in your face.

Dragon Age Inquisition: the story about a cabbage merchant down on his/her luck.
The introduction of a new kind of vegetable- the Tevinter beet- has led to difficult times for the Fereldan cabbage merchants- this novel vegetable has become so popular in Thedas that ordinary cabbage is in little demand.
The soon-to-be inquisitor comes from a long line of cabbage farmers and merchants- his/her father was a cabbage merchant, and his father before him. But with the introduction of the Tevinter beet, things are not going well for the family business. Few people are buying, and anybody who dares call themselves a cabbage merchant is mocked openly in the street. "Haha!" People are saying "You're just a cabbage merchant. And nobody likes cabbage!"
One day the soon-to-be Inquisitor hears about a large gathering of people taking place in a little village called Haven. There will be mages and templars and some of the most powerful people of Thedas, he/she hears. And they will all need to eat.
Suddenly, the future Inquisitor has an idea: "If I could only get those powerful people to eat my cabbages..." the Inquisitor thinks. "...then ordinary cabbage will come back in style again! And everybody will want to buy them!" And so he/she sets on his/her way to the peace meeting.
But things don't go quite as planned...

Cabbage is the reason the Inquisitor can control the Veil Tears- he/she becomes the richest person in the war. The entire game is just a business move.

I thought we been told that the qunari would be Vashoth, meaning that they were never part of the Qun? Where's potato cat?I'm curious on this as well. Given how the Qunari treated their mages in DAII (sewing their lips shut? Really??) I really can't see a Qunari mage attending the summit in an official capacity. Most likely you start off the game as a captured apostate and were cooling your heels in a dungeon cell when the Breach occurred.

I'd be cool with this kind of scenario, too. That we're not special, per se, but we've earned the place we have. This could make a lot of sense.Since leadership seems to be such a huge theme, I'm anticipating (read: desperately hoping) all of our starting characters will be at least important within their own social strata. For example, if you're Dalish you could be a Keeper as a mage or a warleader as a rogue or warrior. You would attend the peace talks to speak on behalf of the elves.
Starting out as a nobody and ascending to hero status worked great in DA:O and DA2. But for this story, I have a very hard time imaging an awkward runt leading (or being taken seriously by) a group of people who have such strong personalities and important roles in society.
Besides, I'm personally ready for something a little different now.

Found it. At first DG says the PC will be Tal-Vashoth:
All PC Qunari are Tal-Vashoth.
After consulting Mary, he then says this:
Mary tells me that the PC would technically just be Vashoth. Either way, it's a distinction that's only going to be relevant to the Qunari themselves. Everyone else will simply say "Qunari", no matter where you were born.
This is from the topic Will you be able to play as Tal-Vashoth specifically in the Scuttlebutt.

I think that's the thing I'm most curious about currently. According to that interview posted up last night, the opening of the game is nicely paced out so that we can get to grips with the new game and the controls etc. I can only presume that we'd get to start shaping our characters personality from that point, which I hope includes our motivations for being there.
"Why in the name of Andraste were you even doing at that meeting?"
"Oh, you know. Picking pockets, cutting purses, robbing a grave here and there... nothing too remarkable."
"...The leader of the Inquisition, ladies and gentleman."
Edit: Sh!t, I need to refresh more often. ![]()
Edit x2: Missed an entire word. Somehow.

Speaking of cabbage. When I watched the second Hobbit-- I think it was the second? When Bilbo said he'd 'found my courage'... I could've sworn he said 'I found my cabbage'. I just about died in the theatre.

Could be!
I'm not sure that my feelings about the protagonist's backstory are all that strong one way or another. I'm kinda planning that my first Inquisitor is going to be a human mage... and I have trouble imagining what kind of leadership role he might have. So yeah, I suppose that if he's a spokesperson for some fraternity or other, it would be cool, but I'd be just as happy with him being some apostate posing as a merchant of funky, second-hand junk who just happened to roll his pushcart up in front of the place when the Veil tore.
Edit: I mean, if the blast is as big as they say it is and somebody walked out of it alive, he'd kind of be a big deal even if he was hawking "designer" sunglasses when it happened. And cracking stupid jokes like "I saw a sign the other day: 'Try my rosewater! New!' Well, I don't know about you, but I wouldn't buy any used rosewater, I'll tell you that!"
