depending on how inquisition turns out, i like orlais just from an outside view.... but if i had to pick one, it would probably be nevarra with orlais being a solid number 2 and ferelden at 3

[Lenimph]

A little... thanks to Ferelden's dog culture. If it weren't for the Mabari I would feel very little for Ferelden and its people as a Dalish Warden. 

 

As for Hawke... not at all was gained really. Seriously the only thing really Ferelden about Hawke was her accent and her dog... But even  her family history on her Mother's side wasn't Ferelden.. I definitely see Hawke as a Free Marcher. 

[Zjarcal]

Nah.

[saMoorai]

I'd say so, yeah, Its my favorite country in the series.

 

If nothing else, my Cousland and Hawke were pretty loyal to Ferelden.

[Wulfram]

I'm loyal to the city elves, more

[Celtic Latino]

Not really. I feel if anything Ferelden is pushed on us. It always feels in many rpgs that the 'default' equivalent of medieval England or Anglo-speaking country is sort of forced with everyone else being exaggerated caricatures or 'exotics'. Especially since the Inquisitor has either a British or American-English accent, which sort of implies that the Inquisitor is native to Ferelden. It's cool given the locale and focus but I surely wouldn't mind being a Nevarran, Antivan, Orlesian (Awakening briefly rectified that) or Rivaini in future installments, if only not to be the 'Indiana Jones' every time.

[BubbleDncr]

Well, kind of, because so far we've only played as people from Ferelden. If the human Inquisitor is from Ferelden, I will play that characters as loyal to Ferelden, no doubt.

 

But all my other Inquisitors are probably not from Ferelden, so I am going to try and not hold any bias towards Ferelden that the game doesn't lend to me (ie, if Alistair is king and is the coolest of all the rulers I meet, then I could use that as a reason to be loyal to Ferelden).

[ADeadDiehard]

Considering one of my most loyal companions is one of the current rulers. Yeah, I kind of do.

[Kaibe]

Not really. I'd like our human character to have a different nationality.

[Omikuji]

Neither of my characters ever really had any sort of reason to be loyal to Ferelden, one having been a mage so he was closer to that group also being a warden made him closer to that faction, while my Hawk had moved on after the first year since she wasn't the sort to dwell and was focused on the current events. 

 

So really, I never felt loyal to it. Didn't have a reason to really, though neither of my characters are these sort of... what's it called, nationalists? They lacked loyalty to their home country, and I doubt my Inquisitor will be one either since he'll be working on being an Inquisitor. 

[teh DRUMPf!!]

 Yes.

 

Through my Warden, I did lots of things for both the short- and long-term interests of country, so part of me does feel some stake invested in Fereldan. That's not to say I will roleplay the Inquisitor with the same interest, however.

Ferelden is perhaps further advanced because its existence is in opposition to Orlais; their nationalism is defined in opposition to Orlesian norms. I don't find any Human countries interesting but it seems Ferelden is very similar to medieval England (or Scotland) and I really like that. To me Ferelden is best of the worst.

We don't know enough about Nevarra and Rivain though.

[The Elder King]

The one thing I gather from Rivain is it's proximity to Par Vollen, and possibly being based on Spain (and perhaps Qunari might be equivalent to the Moorish presence among the Spanish). I think even Isabela's family follow the Qun (and Isabela rebelled..).
 
Anyways, if that's the case, I'll take Ferelden. I hate the Qunari (yes, hate is the right word for me. Heh).

There are parts of Rivain where the Qun is strong, but they're not all Qunari. There are Andrastians as well, and Rivain's unique Faith.

[Lulupab]

I must admit I am interested to know more about Rivain and Nevarra . Nevarra has become a rival to Orlais during last years and has advanced immensely. There is a matter of the problem with Pentaghast family. We might get to that in DA:I as Cassandra is in the party.

 

The interesting thing about Rivain for me is its unique religion and seers who merge with spirits. And its pirates. Its rumored all Rivain pirates are "secret agents" of Tevinter. For example the crew Isabela stole the tome with were paid and controlled by Tevinter.

What are you talking about with the Penthaghast's problem?
I recall that Isabela's mission on stealing the tome was made for Castillon, an Antivan. Is the Tevinter influence explained in the comics?

I think it was said in Codex that Tevinter contracted the Raiders of the Waking Sea (Castillon was part of it) to steal the Tome of Koslun, a historical tome of immense value to their enemies. Isabela manage to steal the tome, however she was shipwrecked in Kirkwall and by 9:34 Dragon, the fate of the tome was determined.

 

Oh and isn't there a problem with succession in Nevarra?

[EmissaryofLies]

I feel a sense of loyalty to my mages and my elves. Everything else can burn if it gets in the way.

Exactly! Dalish Mage Inquisitor FTW.

Well, that doesn't mean that the pirates are under Tevinter's control. It means that Tevinter made a contract with a pirate, as anyone with enough money would.

I thought that you meant there was some problem in the family (example: insanity).
Yes, there's a problem in the succession. The only direct heir doesn't want the throne, the other relatives (both Pentaghast and Van Markham) want it, and other nobles think it's time for a new family on the throne.

What if dalish and mages will fight against each other? Who would you support?
Granted, I don't think it'll ever happen (though I do think that dalish might be wary of human mages).

If it were not at all possible to resolve such a conflict through diplomatic means? I'd back the mages. How about yourself?

 

You raise an interesting point, Elder. That would truly be a very difficult choice. Would love it if it made it in so long as it fits within the parameters of the Quarian/Geth conflict; it is possible to get them to work together.

I honestly don't know. It depends on the context of the war I believe. Why they are fighting? Who is the aggressor?
Plus, it's a choice completely tied to the character I'm playing. If I'm playing as a dalish, I'd likely support the dalish; if I'm a human mage, I'd support the mages.
