Probably just minding their own business, but then the next question would be... What business does the would-be Inquisitor have at the Temple of the Sacred Ashes (or nearby Haven, for that matter)?

 

 

That would make sense but the problem is, the game really focuses on you being the leader, if it went this way it would take a little bit to get to that point. Plus till then why would anyone have any reason to follow you instead of say you following Cassandra

Maybe it was the Inquisitor's idea that the Inquisition be established? That said, I'm still wondering why the Inquisition itself is necessary (from an IU perspective) as opposed to just latching on some other organization and trying to establish influence there. I mean, early on, it's still basically just you.

 

That's what I'm wondering, too.

 

It might be a bit like Alistair just following you for no reason at the beginning of DAO other than the fact that he doesn't like making decisions and you're the only option around.

But it was Duncan who brought you in, rather than Alistair. I guess the more fit equivalent would be Duncan letting you make the decisions while he goes along with them.

I think we get to pick backgrounds like in the ME games.

It wasnt, it was already being discussed which is why Cassandra bringing you forward solidifies that decision. Because the Inquisition by its very nature is a neutral party, all other organizations would either be bias or busy with all the chaos

I'd say shooting green laser beams out of my hand is a pretty good qualification.

How does that qualify them to lead an army with no experience doing so?

[xarthas2]

Mmmm, I dont expect similar backgrounds (embassadors) for every race. Probably each one will have different reasons to be there. Regarding how the Inquisitor become the leader, i think Leliana and the vision she had with Justina about the Inquisition will play an important role. Alternatively, maybe they used the old tale of "saver of the day", a la Shepard in the beginning of ME3: the Seekers/Inquisition are judging us when a Veil Rift appears, and we have to save the day (and in the aftermath that pushes us to the leadership of the organization).

 

BTW, I am the only one who thinks the Veil Power is the version 2.0 of the power Hawke used in the Destiny trailer of DA2?

My understanding is that race selection replaced backgrounds.

Ohh yes. True. I forgot about that.

Race affects your reason and place at the summit. Other than that, who knows?

[Han Shot First]

I would assume that the important people at the summit would have been travelling with body guards. Perhaps your Inquisitor was no one particularly important, but he or she was guarding someone who was.

 

That would be my guess anyway, as Cassandra doesn't seem to recognize you. If the Inquisitor were already famous I would think you would get the, "Wait...aren't you X?" dialogue.

Us being able to be dalish throws off the bodyguard idea, i dont see a dalish elf doing that, then again being an outcast would make sense for all the races. I would buy the "random guy walking by" idea but that wouldnt involve us with the peace summit and i feel like our character will be right in the mix when things hit the fan

Y'know the original RPG - D&D - is billed as "Heroic Fantasy". The idea is that the character you play wants to be a hero or has heroic potential. This already marks them out as having a great destiny even if they have a humble origin (like that street peddler selling nuts and cheese). It doesn't matter what the character is at the conference. I suppose they could put in the option for the player to say "But I'm a humble merchant, I don't want to lead an Inquisition!" and then you get a game over screen telling you demons overran the planet. But what's the fun in that?

[Vearsin]

I've said before that the PCs special power would make it necessary to be involved  in the inquisition but not lead it. So i'm hoping there will be further justification and it wont be just a bunch of writing tricks that make the PC the only choice.

You're extra security for the event, not some important person who mattered before now.

 

Sorry to burst your bubble OP.

and where was this said?

[Cainhurst Crow]

Back in the days when the survey was first leaked, and the talk of fade tears and iron bulls was first typed here.

 

It said you were a solider at a battle where the fade tear, now called a breach, first opened and were the only survivor.

If you were a soldier at a battle, how does that make you security?

[Cainhurst Crow]

I figured if they changed it to some kind of summit instead of a big battle, then your role would also subsequently change to match that event. At a summit, soliders provide security.

 

Though it is possible the inquisitors role was also changed to something more important as well. Though I doubt it.

Thats just going off of guesses and assumptions. Guess we have to wait till then to find out the truth

Who was the Grey Warden before they were tasked with leading the remaining Grey Wardens in Ferelden to stop the Blight?  The problem with wanting more creative control of a character is that people always want somebody else to step in and justify them getting something, such as being known as the Inquisitor.  It may simply be that you were Johnny on the Spot when the sky fell, congratulations, it's your mess to clean up.  It could really be that simple.  I mean, if we're going to insist that PCs have qualifications to find themselves in leadership roles, shouldn't we insist that only DN and HN should have been able to lead the Wardens, meaning we would have had to *shudder* follow Alistair unless we were one or the other?  After all, those are the only ones that have recognizable authority.  With the way elves are viewed in Thedas in general, is anyone really going to follow one?  Especially a CE?

Thing is a group of outcasts isnt an Inquisition, Alistair didnt want to lead anyone, morrigan had no experience, leliana had none, sten was owed you his life, wynne had none etc. Leading a small group is not comparable to a militaristic organization that has no superior.

[robertthebard]

Who was your superior in DA  O?  You had none.  You built the armies, you led the troops.  That's what the Landsmeet boiled down to in a nutshell.  If I'm going to have freedom to "create" the story, I don't need somebody else creating all the details of my past.  Might as well just have another Hawke then.

You brought the armies together, you didnt lead them. You had no technical superiors but you had no power to say otherwise, hence why we played fetch so many times. Giving a particular race a past occupation doesnt create the story for you, it gives them a legitimate reason to be there, thats hardly comparable to Hawke.

[n7stormrunner]

who was the inquisitor before coming the inquisitor? no body of any importance like always.

 

why they are qualified? the murder knife thats why, anyone who questions your right to lead get stabbed... tell you have a army of loyal minions who will do your murdering for you because thats what minions do.
