What I want to know if it possible that if you were say a dwarf in DAO, would the people of thedas trust dwarves more and trust your
Dwarf inquisitor more?
I mean yea I know they said that dwarves would have a hard time in some situations, but maybe less so if the warden was a dwarf?
Same for elves! you know elf warden making elves look good and all that!
Personally I think that would be pretty cool! Plus you know choices mattering more and all that idk. Just a thought!
mmm. i really don't think it matters from a game perspective and perspective of the player as well.
Because in DAO characters can have some remarks about who stands before them, like a Quartermaster at Ostagar for example when he sees elf female character. But i don't really recall any of those remarks, perhapas someone will correct me, because i only made it to Ostagar with non-human characters.(except for dwarf noble, wanted to see reaction of brother-dear). So i don't really sure how trust can be applied here. For a game.
For a player it's just plain simple. If some person want to as dwarf, and game can provide him with such possibility, that player will use this chance.
I don't think so because that would mean coding in an additional "Was the Warden a noble dwarf/casteless/human/dalish/CElf/Mage? When it would be easier to program and code only one "what race is the Inquisitor?" One check vs two when there is already going to be checks for what choices the Warden made seem unnecessary.
I could see major NPCs caring... like Merrill talking about a Mahariel Warden. But not whole groups of people.
Hmm. That sounds like a pretty damn good idea. A group of people who might otherwise be resentful is more trusting of an elf or dwarf if an elf or dwarf did right by them in the past.
I like it. I rarely get to say that about player ideas on this forum.

I'm pretty certain the coding would be negligible. The concern is not the code, but the writing, voicework, and animation. Still, this would be likely no more than five or so scenarios throughout the entire game, if that, with a few lines a dialogue each. It's reasonably doable, though obviously not a priority by any means.
Would be nice if it would happen to mages
I thought the people of Thedas were pretty racist against my Elf Wardens and Mage warden , I don`t remember the Dwarf Warden getting bad treatment . It will be interesting the see how people of the other lands treat Elf / Mage / Qunari Inquisitor .

True the dwarves in DAO didn't have it that bad, it was more about what gender you were. Like in the DN origin.
I dont think it will be that significant since Orlais seems to be the main location, however i do think someone from fereldan might make a small comment about it

DN origin. ?

I don't see any reason why. Your Warden will be seen more as a warden than whatever race they were prior. It's like how the Dwarves respect Wardens, but not humans and elves in general.
More than 10 years since the blight, though. People forget their heroes quickly.

can you forget the hero of ferelden so easily, that dude/chick was amazing.
yet there is a truth to what you say

But they would still have to code those extra bits in to trigger properly. When they're already doing tone, Inquisitor race, Inquisitor class, previous events... to add ANOTHER flag to check for the Warden's race on top of the choices they made? It's a good idea, but not sure if it would really be worth the time and effort.

They already did it in Dragon Age 2 so I don't think it is a case of it being worth time and effort.
If you imported a Mage Warden, the Hawkes talk of how the Warden was a relation to them. If you imported a Dalish Elf, Merrill mentions the Warden when talking about the Eluvian and of course in both scenarios the sex of the warden is referred to. There is mention of which race and sex they are besides these instances and of course if the race/sex of the warden wasn't a big thing there would be no mention of it in the 'pre-built' Hawke playthroughs where you either had 'Hero of Ferelden' (Male Human Noble), 'Martyr' (Female City Elf) or 'No Compromise' (Male Dwarf Noble).
As for the OPs idea, I don't think the race of the Warden is going to effect whether people trust the Inquisitor if they are the same race as the Warden. I suppose it depends on what backgrounds we get to choose for them though.

Yes...and it's easy. That kind of coding is not complicated. It's something a single professional could do in literally minutes. Even a minute, singular.

you can't even remember if it was a dude or a chick! 
I feel that if a City Elf was the Warden, survived and chose the Elven Noble option then yes Fereldens might be more likely to accept the Elfquision, but Dwarves are not really that disadvantaged in Thedas.
