What info i need is the human Inquisitor from ferelden rivain or nevarra.

[KC_Prototype]

Trevelyan is probably a noble. So Human Warrior/Rouge= Noble of Ferelden.

While the "City Elf" origin was hands down my favorite one to play in DA:O, I can understand not having that background as a choice in DA:I. I mean, there are a few scenarios with the ending of DA:O where the Alienage has more freedom and rights, so possibly they join the Dalish as the background story in DA:I, wanting to leave the place that held them in a nasty realm of racism and servitude. I think it would be a big task to include the previous Origins backgrounds for the PC in DA:I while considering ten years+ has passed in the timeline. I still see many here trying to tie their Warden experience as some expectation for a totally new protagonist that more than likely has no relevance to it.

 

I don't care about the DA:O experience. I believe in the emancipation of CEs, but also believe that the Dalish don't care about "elven" freedom, they care about Dalsih freedom, and their endgame involves the complete absorption of the CEs into Dalish culture. I want to save the CEs on their own term, led by their own leaders, creating their own land and culture, or at least a unified "elven" culture that doesn't just adopt the Dalish political structure, beliefs and religion.

The boons in Ferelden have no effect in Orlais.

I get that but the CE aspect is a purely Ferelden thing. So, one's desire to have that
in Inquisition would be from that perspective.

There are City Elves in every nation of Thedas, not just Ferelden. The City Elves in Orlais are fighting right now in DA.

Please have a human commoner...i'm sick of nobles

[mlgumm]

@ Crow, I agree. While it could be fun to have a Cousland/Hawke/Human Noble trilogy in one version of the game, I would really like to be able to play a human who isn't a noble or mage. Let me be a thief or soldier who works their way up to the top! I know Hawke was poor at the start and not raised like a noble, but s/he still had noble blood and it bugs me a bit that the only humans we can play have backgrounds like that.

So, pointy-eared Dalish would not have listened to my magic-hands fade manipulating veil-tear closing pointy-eared protagonist because he was raised in slum instead of a forest? Would have killed them all just for that stupid reasoning.

Have you read the latest book? The Dalish views on city elves are akeen to how humans from Ferelden are view by Orlesians

That was one stupid evil clan, that also summoned a forbidden one and thought they could imprison it forever,now how did that work out for them?

 

I also remember Hahren Paivel from the Dalish Origin, And how he wished that one day when the Dalish acquire their own lands, then the' flat-ears' would live among them.

 

And besides I am not talking about a random city elf servant whose best ability is that he can cook a killer chicken  soup, I am talking about what would have been the Inquisitor, the single most important person in Thedas (sorry Hawke)

I get that, but doesn't your desire about the CE aspect in DA have everything to do with your experience in DA:O? And I also believe in a many great things as well, how that translates into the game remains to be seen.. But anyway, If that's what you want, so be it, that's cool.

I know, but isn't what you want based from playing the CE in DA:O?  Honestly, while the CE was my absolute favorite Origin, I honestly don't want to relive the same basic background of that again in this game; I've been there, done that. Having said that, I'd also like to see something other than a Dalish origin as well. Playing an Elf has been my favorite for any race going back to BG. I can easily figure out that the other alienages are also pretty bad, even worse than the one in Denerim. I'd rather play something new, like a human commoner or some form of Elven Tevinter. At least we get another rave to play with the addition of the Qunari.

I'm looking forward to playing a Dalish mage. The first time I played Origins, I was a bit surprised that it wasn't an option.

Did it make you scream in anger a la Lemon?

Lol Only a little.

[Andraste_Reborn]

 

Dwarves are all Surfacers.

 

 

Wait, when was that confirmed?

 

I think it's a good guess, and I hope it's true, but I didn't think we knew for sure.

Not exactly. It has to do with my experience of the Dalish in DA:O and DAII, and their general culture as shown throughout the various DA media. For example, I don't think that (generally speaking) the portrayal of the Dalish in Mask of the Betrayer was out-of-character: it's perfectly consistent with the attitude of the majority of Dalish that we see - whereas the fanbase focuses on exceptions like, say, Lanaya and Merrill (and even Marethari, who was quite open and accepting) versus what Dalish lore and lay Dalish attitudes are like in the games and other media.

I know while we will be Qunari racially and not culturally I hope we will be fluent in Qunlat and have at least some insight into the Qun. All our previous sources have been from soldiers and an Elven Ben Hassrath who wasn't the best at being Tallis. I am fine with not being a Vasoth but some knowledge of the Qun would be nice.

Partly, but not entirely. The City elves are in the middle of a huge thing in the DA timeline right now, and would be a great time to play as one.

As soon as a dwarf set foot on the surface, he becomes a Surfacer.

[Maclimes]

As soon as a dwarf set foot on the surface, he becomes a Surfacer.

 

Yes, but I believe it's meaning was that they were like Varric: Born on the surface. Part of the surface dwarf culture, not the traditional culture.

 

The Dwarves and the Qunari seem to have the same basic origin: Raised outside of their own race's traditional culture. Elves are like the complete opposite.

 

Humans? I dunno. One weird thing:

 

All Dwarves are Surfacers.

All Elves are Dalish (including mages).

All Qunari are Vashoth (including mages).

So... will all humans share a background as well? Or will there be a separate background just for human mages?

[Waaaghmaster]

I believe that Human warriors/rogues would either be of Ferelden Noble or a Loyalist Seeker in origin, my reasoning is this; the start of the game is a major peace confrence where Andraste's ashs are located(Frostbacks) which is in Ferelden, and because of that Ferelden's King/Queen has a stake in the negotiations. On the Other Hand the Divine is present and because of that we may be one of her remaining loyalists.

For the Human Mages I have the same reasoning; Loyalist who support the Circle or a member of the Rebels who have come to attend the confrence.

I don't think we'll be a Seeker simply because they use the human warrior as the preset Inquisitor and from the sounds of things Cassandra doesn't recognize them.

We'll see how it pans out, perhaps the Dalish background in DA:I will be more dynamic than what was experienced in the previous two games. 10+ years have passed, so time will tell.

So it's an equality thing . I see your point, but since the CEs lived mostly a secluded somewhat subservient life and were not a mobile people in the game world, they are not going to have much impact on the areas in concern in Thedas, whereas the Dalish will be more involved because they are mobile.
