Lol, what is the worst thing that could happen in very early game that would throw your backstory for a loop?
For me, if my wee meek, timid & shy, wouldn't say boo to a goose mage pulled a Hawke from DA2 and kicked/barged through a door, I'm going to be like "well, that kinda blows" lol.
There better be a game of Wicked Grace in DAI!
There apparently is! I remember it being mentioned by a writer...?, though maybe it was a joke.
If it is true I wonder if it could be apart of the "We just slayed a dragon!' celebration. I'd repeat that quest...scene...scenario..many times!
If given the chance to grab something before having to leave, what could your quizzy not be without? Her armor, because badly fitted armor is much more of a problem than picking up someone else's blade.
My human rogue believes in the Maker and is devout enough, but feels no call to the Chantry. He wants to go to Val Royeaux and be an artist. Inquisitor is not what he wants to be, but the Maker has seen fit to choose him so he'll do his best.
Now the qunari I have in mind for Cullen (any word on gates?) is going to be much less analytical. There's a giant hole in the sky. Close it. By any means necessary.
what is the worst thing that could happen in very early game that would throw your backstory for a loop? -- if the Trevelyan has a lot of field experience and has lead sizeable forces before. That would be really awkward for my boy who shirks responsibility where he's able until it's dropped right on top of him. 
Human nobles are the youngest of their family? Just. As. Planned.
I do really like the reasons for each soon to be Inquisitor for being at the peace talks. Still not quite my cabbage merchant story but awesome.
Yesterday the drawing request was Solas.

Oh look at him! 
How are they going to react to be thrown into the position of power?
Skye: Intimidated, she's not used in leading at all. She's positive person though and thinks everything will be fine so she doesn't stress out too much.
Valpur: Little annoyed but gets quickly over it. She's happy as leader as long as things are done in her way and in her pace.
Tamarin: Overjoyed. It's great opportunity in his mind and he's going to make most of it.
Michal: He feels like it's big honour and he's proud and happy about it.
If given the chance to grab something before having to leave, what could your quizzy not be without?
Skye: Her book on herbalism, it's her treasure.
Valpur: Her sword that she's used lean on when things get rough.
Tamarin: Nothing. He doesn't want to be accosiated with Dalish ^^;
Michal: Chantry-amulet from his parents.
Lol, what is the worst thing that could happen in very early game that would throw your backstory for a loop?
That Varric has issues with her because of her family connections (though that would surprise me). Varric being a LI might put me in a bind choosing between him and IB too.
Is anybody else doing any self-gating? For example, I can't see a human mage with Cass or Cullen. Too much like the people that have been trying to kill them for the past few months.
AHA! I have conquered the Sims demo, for I have screencap'd!
Obviously the hair will likely be different once I see what the DAI CC has to offer, but close enough to how I envision my rogue boy! He'll also have a scar across his nose if the DAI CC permits. /o/

I don't personally self-gate because it really depends on the type of character I'm creating. I could make a mage who was very, very 'no, thank you' to Templars and Seekers, but I could also create a mage who judges individuals... well, individually, or a mage who believes the Templars only do what they must and who could easily become infatuated with someone who seemed particularly protective.
Hell! I have a mage planned for Iron Bull to see what would happen there given how mages are treated within the Qun. (I also have a dwarf planned for him, because it's criminal not to check out hard work. )
Ooh, more questions! Awesome 
How are they going to react to be thrown into the position of power?
"What?! Me? Making decisions? Oh Maker, please no." That pretty much sums it up.
If given the chance to grab something before having to leave, what could your quizzy not be without?
Her staff. Definitely. If she coudl grab something else then a book. But her staff would be the most important of her possesions.
What is the worst thing that could happen in very early game that would throw your backstory for a loop?
The lack of the right dialogue choices. I'd like to keep my Ana self-conscious, silly and navie. She'd eventually grow into self-confident and silly, of course, but I'm afraid the game won't allow this. I mean, if they stick to what they had in DA2 (diplomatic, humorous, aggressive), I won't have a chance but give up on my silly Inquisitor.

I've tried to avoid thinking of a backstory specific enough that anything likely to be in the game would violate my headcanon for my character. I know how she'll react to things in game but not much about what has happened to her already. So instead I'll say the best thing that could happen, which is that they could give us some clue as to how she left her family -- were they all "accursed mage, get out my house" or did they try desperately to send her letters and cookies in the Circle tower? I wouldn't want to think of it as being one the whole time and then find out it was another (my Amell always picked the "my family is awesome" dialogues when asked, and then in DA2 it came off a little bit like they didn't quite deserve that). Although that could be written off as a perception issue for a small child.

No way! For my Circle-resenting but too-pragmatic-to-rebel-violently-while-still-incarcerated human mage, killing shitty templars and dating awesome templars will be two sides of the same "freedoms I should have had earlier" coin!
), passionate about history and lore.
So with the new backgrounds revealed, I have another Inquisitor question for you all!
What is your Inquistor/s' views on the Chantry and Maker?
I made my Hawke too!
Spoiler
And my thing for scruff is revealed. Oh nooooo.
I'd bang that man like a door in a hurricane.
Depends. At the end of the day, all she really cares about is ending the chaos and bringing the world back from the brink of destruction. However, if it's at all suggested that she's possessed or there's any mystery behind her hand, there'll be a LOT of self doubt, a LOT of fear that she's not in control of her own actions. Not that she'll tell anyone. I want it like ME3 when Shepard could claim to fine when dealing with all the pressure she's under. If she's the only one who can stop this mess, she needs to be better.Another two questions for your quizzys:
How are they going to react to be thrown into the position of power?
Her father's bow. (Pretty much every bow I craft for her will be 'Father's Bow' and I'll just do away with the ones I've surpassed in level, because the current one's the real one, dontcha know)If given the chance to grab something before having to leave, what could your quizzy not be without?
I made my Hawke too!
Spoiler

LOL he looks exactly like my Hawke
(This is being weird)
(Just for Elidri, since I've returned to so many questions)
The Maker's a myth. Elidri isn't particularly religious anyway. She accepts the Creators exist, but she doesn't see any point in worshipping absent gods and Fen'Harel is not to be trusted under any circumstances.
The Chantry is to blame for the destruction of the Dales, what was left of elven culture, and most of the hope for a brighter future for elves everywhere. That said, she is more than willing accept the past is past and what matters is the future and making sure there is one. She might not be to keen on working for or with the Chantry, but if it means it will pledge its support to helping stop the Elder One and mend the Breach, so be it.
I think for as much as she dislikes the organisation, she will make many seemingly 'pro-Chantry' or 'pro-Circle' decisions regarding mages given her fear of abominations.
Would like if I could! ;n;

Hawke is my favourite!
I might have to re-create him as a Trevelyan using a different Hawke/Warden combo. I love my boy. He was so fun to play.
How are they going to react to be thrown into the position of power? Zhenya will be just fine with it. She won't necessarily abuse the position, but she'd see an opportunity for some badly needed shaking up (and if her family happened to profit a little, that's good too).If given the chance to grab something before having to leave, what could your quizzy not be without? Her armor, because badly fitted armor is much more of a problem than picking up someone else's blade.
Questions! I have three characters planned: Elke, the human female noble warrior, Aralan, Mr. Grumpy Pants Dalish, and Sasani, human female mage. Elke is confident adn charismatic, Aralan is stern and no nonsense, and Sasani is bookish and indecisive.
What is your Inquistor/s' views on the Chantry and Maker?
Elke has long been prepared to enter the service in the Chantry or Templars, though she never quite decided on which. She's a firm believer, though practical matters and keeping the peace means she sticks with personal devotions and quiet prayer.
Aralan thinks it's odd that the shem go in for such levels of ancestor worship, and is a firm believer in the Creators.
Sasani believes, but her reading on theology and history suggests to her that the Chantry's teaching have been warped over the years - by mage rule sentiments in Tevinter, and by mage fear elsewhere.
How are they going to react to be thrown into the position of power?
Elke will eagerly take the lead. The Maker has given her a chance to make a real difference, and she will do so. She could do without the glowing hand thing, though. That can't be healthy.
Aralan will be dismayed at first, but if this is what he needs to do to protect the world, then that's what he will do. Perhaps...perhaps he can change things to be better for his people while he's at it.
Sasani will be dismayed. Decisiveness and action and combat...she's not cut out for this sort of thing! It seems there is no one else who can take her place, however.
If given the chance to grab something before having to leave, what could your quizzy not be without?
Elke would grab her sword.
Aralan his bow.
Sasani would spend so much time trying to decide that she would have to leave empty handed.
What is the worst thing that could happen in very early game that would throw your backstory for a loop?
For Elke, I see her as the family's troubleshooter and negotiator while she waited to be sure of her elder siblings' establishment in families. This means she has been traveling throughout her family's lands around Ostwick. If they turn around and say she's been super sheltered and hardly ever had contact outside of town, that will cause me to grumble. I can deal, though.
I think Aralan fits pretty snugly into the background they provided. It would cause me issues if they decide he MUST be virulently anti-human, but I find that unlikely.
Sasani is the most likely to have background conflicts. I can see her possibly being part of the violence in self-defense or defense of a friend, she would flee combat as soon as possible - and be barely eeking out a living outside the Circle, as she doesn't have the foggiest how to live on the run. I could work around with her teaming up with some other mages out of desperation, and having wild rumors floating around about what REALLY happened. But if she is presented as a go-getter and firebrand, that would throw her whole concept into doubt. Also, I pictured her departure from her family as sad but calm, so assuming a great deal of angst and conflict there would be a problem.
As for self gating - Sasani would have little trouble with Cullen. In her background I had an uncle taking her to the Circle and making sure she was settled, and her generally calm and studious demeanor meant she rarely had direct conflicts, despite them being nerve-wracking in general. Also, she saved a templar's life when one of the Circle lost control with blood magic during an attempt to escape, and that same templar later warned her to flee the coming Annulment. Lately, she's frightened and wary of templars - they're hunting her down though she's committed no crime! - but if Cullen treats her respectfully (which I think he is likely to), I can see her falling for him, or at least mentally categorizing him into the "good sort" pile.
I can't see any of them falling for Iron Bull, mostly for temperament reasons. Aralan is straight, so no Dorian.
Other than that, I'll just play romances as they unfold.
@Lady Shayna, how are you pronouncing Elke and Sasani? I'm thinking Elk-uh and Saz-arni, but I have feeling I might be wrong.
Elke is right. I'm pronouncing Sasani as Sass-AH-ni.
