*rolls in*
Oooh new interview. Although I have to say I'm getting to the point where I should just read an article here and there and not overload myself with all the articles that repeat the same info or have wrong info.
Oh and someone called for Blackwall.

Yay! He's so serious. Many thanks! 
I think in a clumsy way he's actually trying to compliment them on it? Like, "so, I noticed your female PC is actually dressed for a fight instead of for the male gaze!" But maybe I'm projecting.
lol Sadly, I think maybe you are *strokes chin* Anyone who asks that sort of question, like that, probably has never heard of "the male gaze."
It's quite sad when people see realistically and properly dressed female in the videogames they think something is wrong cause they are so used in steel bikinis, boob windows and other ridiculous stuff. I had little debate with my little brother while back too, he was shocked that my Cousland warrior was woman when she was in full-armour. "That's armor for boys! Girls can't wear that!" he said. It's just sad how large amount of people have been brainwashed to this image of woman in fantasy and action products where woman is strong and awesome only if she shows skin and is sexy for guys.
Hmmm in case you're not tired of hearing from my fellas
Auren would be pretty creeped out, I imagine.
Kael would be horrified. I wonder if he's already heard of the Tranquil. I'm going to guess yes. But the reality is more terrifying than simply reading or hearing about it. He'll be pretty shaken.
You are great with these questions!
I want to learn all the things about everyone's Inquisitors, so I'll never be tired of hearing about them! 
So he's basically saying 'your woman isn't nearly naked, what is up with that?'
To which I personally would have responded 'yeah, we like our women to SURVIVE battle and not be treated like slabs of meat by dudebro players, go figure'. >>
I do want my male Inquisitor to fight half Naked though....
I just like asking all the questions and what you explained about Auren elaborates his character and thoughts a lot! Like him not being as studious and the like. Not a character flaw! Just something extra to know about him and understand about him~
Yes I guess he is sort of a Dalish jock 
He don't need none a dat book learnin'! Yeah not a character flaw... cause on the other side of the coin, Kael's very studious, but yet his curiosity could get him in trouble, whereas Auren's lack of interest in such things is more likely to keep him safe (until the damn Keeper sent him on this mission!)
And yeah I don't even think you need to be an isolated elf in the woods to not know or care much about the mage/templar and Chantry stuff. There are plenty of people who know all about the crazy stuff happening today but they just don't care.
I'm actually fighting with myself as to which character I want to start with. For the longest time I was going with my human rogue, Almora. But in recent months I'm thinking a Dwarven rouge, Kathra. hmmm choices c__c

For me it's not so much that I don't care, but more of an "I have more immediate things to worry about". Crazy mages running rampant takes a back seat to "do I have enough arrows to hunt for food" and such.

It's wrong but I'm hoping there are plenty of "topless" options for Iron Bull

My thoughts exactly. Seriously, each time I see a woman warrior in chainmail bikini, I want to punch someone.

Yeah that is a legitimate reason to not care about that other crap Sort of like people who have no time for politics these days because they're just worried about putting food on the table and what not.
Actually, there's a question to all Dwarf/Elf Inquisitors!
What do they think of this spying business?
And a question to all Inquisitors:
What do they think of the peace talk?
As the peace talk involves mages, Templars and the Chantry it will likely have Tranquil servants there; what was your Inquisitor's first impression of the Tranquil mages? And for the humans: has this opinion changed between the day they likely first met a Tranquil mage when they were younger, considering their family's connections to the Chantry, to the day the game starts?
Huh. An interesting question. Let me ask them.
Just a sec...
...
Elke thinks they're creepy, and always has, but after learning more about it from various family members, believes it is more merciful than killing people who can't control their magic for some reason. She hasn't had much contact with them, though - she's only met one when she was pretty young when an older sibling contracted an enchanted item from the Circle, and she went with them to pick it up. If there are Tranquil at the conclave, she will politely avoid them if possible, and if not possible, will speak with them as any other person and gloss over any oddness if she can.
Aralan has heard of them, but never seen one. Though he understands the idea in theory, he doesn't have a very firm grasp on the effects on personality and such. Most likely he wouldn't put two and two together if he ran into a Tranquil, and just think it's an odd person. He doesn't plan on engaging anyone in conversation at the conclave anyway, if he can help it.
Sasani is (understandably) conflicted. She looks at them and thinks, "There but for the Maker's Mercy stand I". So, on one hand, she likes that they never bothered her when she was in the store rooms doing research, and appreciates their intelligence and diligence. She finds it offensive when others refer to or treat them like mindless automatons, though they, of course, tell her they don't care one way or the other. Therefore, she was pleased when a Tranquil at the Circle once praised her for her diligence in record keeping around her potion crafting and experiments, and told her how much easier that made his job, but her blood ran cold when in the next breath he said she would make an excellent Tranquil herself. That's going to be foremost in her mind if she sees any at the conclave - even if she can avoid execution, is the Rite of Tranquility the best they will be able to negotiate? Are the Tranquil's presence a not so subtle remind of that? She hopes not, but seeing them would make her...twitchy.
At least I think this. Just jotting down my ideas! But I love all your questions because it helps develop the character! : D
Ah, she sounds so interesting~
Other than wanting to know all the things, that's also partly why I ask! Hopefully my questions help anyone who is having trouble/might have missed a particular issue that could add to their character. (It also helps me with mine!)

I think it sounds good. Question, are the backgrounds important in the game? Do we get a slightly different opening? Are they referenced throughout the story?
They are referenced. You can also get war room side missions that are related to them as well.

My mage will definately feel deeply sorry for the Tranquil, having grown up around them and having potentially known some mages who were made tranquil. She'll fear them to a degree (she fears everybody) and probably try to avoid being around them, not because they are tranquil, simply, she tries to avoid everyone. Sadly, she will see some of herself in them and their inability to express themselves. She is definately in the "rather die than be made traquil" camp though, she has hope that she can change, being tranquil would remove that possibility.

(All of this is subject to change, as we learn more, but for now-here goes )
Amythiel is considered the Eyes of her Keeper. The word "spy" is maybe overstating it a bit (It's not, but she thinks it is), bit it is her duty to the Keeper and the Clan to make sure NOTHING takes the clan unaware, whether it's poachers, or bears or arguing humans. 
As for the peace talks itself, Amythiel thinks that if humans stopped being afraid of magic and understood that it was just part of the natural order of things (Bear in mind that Amyth is a rogue, a hunter) all of this ridiculousness could be avoided.
There it is...the NOSE SCRUNCH! 
(Edit: Seriously, that scar... *sigh*)
Btw, I want to say how much I've enjoyed reading about everyone's Inquisitors. 
You guys are miles ahead of me in your planning.

I'm still tossing around potential names for my Elf qwizzy, actually. But she's slowly taking shape in my head. And for the life of me, whenever I try to picture her I come up with a character closely resembling Merrill in temperament. Cute, I mean. She's eternally cute. Endlessly curious, about anything and everything around her. Most especially about people she's only heard about from stories and other whispered comments throughout her life. She's not magic-inclined, so no Keeper ever hinted at training her. But that didn't stop her from gathering around story-tellers whenever they offered up a tale, either. And books! She adores books on subjects of history, geography and lore -- places far away and people long gone.
She doesn't see herself as anything extraordinary, is rather bemused at being thrust so suddenly into any position of importance. Even being asked to travel so far for such a meeting has surprised the ever-loving heck out of her. As for spying, she regards it as little more than listening and learning even more stories. Understanding is born from such watching and observation, and there's nothing truly wrong with better understanding what's going on, right? It's not like she intends to harm anyone, shrug.
She is just an utter cutey-pie. She looks delicate and fragile, even. Quick to ask questions, quicker to listen to whatever it is you have to tell her. But she's strong in her own way, and that before you even consider what she can do in a fight. Her strength is one of conviction, though -- that she'll do the right thing in the end. What that is, is only something she needs to figure out.

Don't remind me. It makes me so angry when I see female warriors in bikini shaped armours. I mean, I enjoyed "Xena the Warrior Princess" a lot but seriously, let's enhance the costumes and move on. And when I read things like what your little brother said I'm grinding my teeth. So, yay, thanks BioWare for designing such awesome armours - even for female warriors.
Here we go!
The party horn is a nice touch...
Congratulations! You've earned every subscriber you've got...your vids are fantastic. 
Sorry for the OT but were the background blurbs\classes removed from the main site? I can`t find them anymore...
