That would be great, if so. The Qunari can be somewhat intimidating to the other races, so seeing that come across in the body language and/or dialogue of NPCs would be terrific.

 

FEAR THE QUNARI INQUISITOR!!!

[SerCambria358]

The general concensus on the forums seems be Qunari - members of the Qun, qunari - grey-skinned giants.

 

And I think a qunari Inquisitor will be at the summit as a member of security, hired-swords. Although having the qunari Inquisitor start off in a cage a la Sten would be awesome.

 

I could see qunari having the most problems, followed by elves. Dwarves and humans will probably have the easiest time of it. Mages will have an all-around issue, of course.

Thats usually how i use it but it was clear they meant the race.

 

Its definitely possible, i just want them to have some history with something military related

Imagine just standing in the middle of an Orlesian ball, not dancing, just standing there expressionless, anyone coming close panicking and immediately moving away. 

[The Ascendant]

Maravass! Imagine Qunari flirting or being teased by women!
"Your Eminence, are you hitting on me?"
"If I was hitting on you, we wouldn't be talking."

[Wolfen09]

you eminence, your armor is so flattering

 

 

im not flat, see ive got plenty of muscles

[azarhal]

I want to know how they are going to explain a dwarf useing a magical ability, unless we are inhabited by some powerful fade spirit!

 

Who said that the dwarf Inquisitor was going to have magical abilities? If you are talking about the tear close up ability, I believe that this is actually coming from something incrusted in the hand of the Inquisitor going by an interview (I don't remember which one though). It's a magical phlebotinum, not inherent magical powers.

[Wolfen09]

magical phlebotinum

 

how are magical flowers going to help us?!

[EmperorSahlertz]

Somethings should be easier depending on race choice, somethings should be harder. Except for the humans, they will be the average in everything.

[Luiren]

If the Qunari difference is true, I actually look forward to the challenge. I had already planned playing a mage Qunari anyway. I'm not deterred.

[mlgumm]

Well, maybe the humans won't have it easier for everything. I'm thinking it might be harder to get Dalish elves to cooperate, or something like that.

[GDog89]

Each race sounds promising with each day
. Im intrigued to see a qunaris stake in this turmoil and how they handle the situation.

more than likely it will put us with odds at both sides of the elves, im thinking the dwarf inquisitor might wind up with the easiest route....  i mean who hates short people?  Nobody!

Assuming the peace summit is for the Mage/Templar war, the various races could be explained this way:
Each Inquisitor is an emissary for their faction-

Humans: The humans could come from numerous factions - Mages, Templars, Chantry representatives, even nobles would all have cause to involve themselves in the discussion, since the Circles do play a large part in human society.

Elves: The Dalish have mages in their clans, so they may need to turn up to the discussion, even if it's only to reaffirm that 'everyone should stay out of our business'.

Dwarves: The dwarves may need to keep an eye on the conflict in order to protect their interests in the lyrium trade (controlled by the Chantry and consumed by both Mages and Templars).

Qunari/Kossith: Mages are born into the Vashoth community as well, meaning that these groups may need to involve themselves in the discussion. Alternatively, they could be mercenaries, hired to protect one faction or the other.

[earymir]

Is it confirmed that the Inquisitor is actually part of /invited to the summit?  If he/she isn't, it could explain in part why it doesn't matter what race they are or really what the background is much.   If the first time anyone sees the future Inquisitor is when they step out of the Fade, then it really makes no difference.  

 

But  I agree with above posts, it would probably be easy to convince someone from any race to come to the peace talks.  These wars affect everyone in Ferelden, Orlais, probably even some of the Free Marches and Nevarra (though I know we won't be visiting them directly).  

[Hanako Ikezawa]

I only see maybe the human actually being at the summit. The Breach blast kills thousands according to Cassandra, so it had to have a pretty large range since I doubt they brought thousands to a meeting.

It could easily reach those numbers if various important people meet and bring all their underlings and servants.

 

But if that were true, then all those important people are dead. And the world's on fire...

 

Which it sounds like it is.

 

I assume Kossith mercenaries since its the only role of them that isn't a fanatical Qunari.

Hundreds, maybe. But not thousands.

[LunarMists]

 Unless the blast reaches beyond the summit.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

 Unless the blast reaches beyond the summit.

I think it will. It will explain why people who have no reason to be there, like the Dalish or Vashoth, are caught up in it leaving the Inquisitor of those groups as the sole survivor.

Anyone else wondering if we'll encounter the race options we didn't pick? Perhaps coming across their souls when we're pulled into the Fade during the Breach, or seeing their charred corpses upon escaping. Similar to how in DA:O all of the origin stories existed, but the one you choose is the only one who survives because Duncan.

That's a great idea! I always remember wanting to know what exactly happened to the City Elf character, for example. Was s/he killed in the rebellion, or locked away?

I have a feeling that at the summit, we'll see all of our possible characters in all possible race/gender/class options. We scroll through the characters, divided by race in each screen slide, and then optionally customize them. Watching all of those otherwise background characters get blown up would be quite powerful. Or, at least, it would be for me. I've always felt strangely guilty about the other five origins characters I didn't pick in the first game, knowing that I'm essentially dooming them to some grisly fate. It would be interesting for that to happen again in Inquisition.

hmmm that would make sense, I guess.  

[ReallyRue]

I imagine that dwarves will have the easiest time in terms of race relations. Depending on your background, you might get a bit of prejudice as a surface dwarf going to Kal Sharok (assuming we visit it). The Qunari might think you ignorant of magical dangers if you are from Kal Sharok, since it has ties to Tevinter I think. The human nobility will probably be more resistant to following a dwarf than a human, but that's it. The mages will probably disregard your opinion given that dwarves have zero familiarity with magic, but I doubt they'd be hostile based just on your race. The same goes for elves, thinking you can't sympathise with their human trouble. The templars might want your help (magic resistance and no mages). 

 

Humans will obviously get on best in human society, especially if you are of noble background. Nobles would automatically be more inclined to hear you out and follow your leadership, though less so if you're a mage. You'd be respected enough by dwarves and Qunari (unless a mage with the latter). Whether or not you're a mage would be the deciding factor for the mages and templars. Humans would have the worst time with city elves and Dalish. City elves might be a touch more receptive to your orders given that they're used to being bossed around by humans, but they aren't going to like you for it. The Dalish will probably have a shoot-on-sight policy, with you having to prove that you're not a threat. Expect hostility or aloofness from most elven NPCs.

 

Dalish elves will probably receive be received like family by their fellow Dalish (like the Warden was). If you are a mage, they might even give you more respect. City elves (judging from attitudes in Denerim), might treat you like a barbarian or mythical. You're still an elf, so they'd be more ready to have your input/leadership, but you're a bit of an unknown. They might also have the idea that Dalish are preachy and don't understand their struggles. Humans will disrespect you at every turn, either thinking you're a servant or a murderous savage. Doubly so if you're a mage. The mages would probably expect you to be sympathetic with their plight, while the templars would see you as heathens (maybe a maleficar too). I don't think the dwarves or Qunari would have a strong opinion (unless you're a mage).

 

Qunari is hard to guess. Half the characters in Ferelden didn't even know what a Qunari was. In Kirkwall they behaved like Qunari were aliens. I'd say the dwarves won't care, the templars will see you as a heathen or an ally (thinking you follow the Qun). Mages may fear you for the same reason, or pity/appeal to you if you're a mage. The Dalish might like your outcast status with the humans (enemy of my enemy), or they might see you as another invader culture. Humans may either not know what the hell you are (if lower class) or think you're a spy/general threat (if noble). They will especially nervous if you're a mage. As for the Qunari, I think they'd want to bring you into the Qun. 'Accept or die' and all that. One of their own race being wayward probably isn't tolerated, and I don't see how they could accept you as a mage at all. Somehow I think it would be worse than with an elf/human, since it's an issue of their pride/honour to have a Vashoth mage unleashed.

[Giggles_Manically]

I think small nods are fun like outside of Lothering with the bandits.

 

Hopefully as a Qunari we get to correct people and say that we are Kossith as a nod to the fandom.

[Fiery Phoenix]

As the Inquisitor you possess weird Fade powers, whether you were a mage or not.
I'm curious to see how that affects how other characters see you, and perhaps even how you see yourself. Imagine how traumatizing such a connection could be for a dwarf, who has never known the Fade, compared to a mage for whom the Fade will be familiar.

...oh, who am I kidding. It will all be avoided by convenient amnesia.

It's interesting to ponder but you're probably right. I doubt they'll bother with such minute details.
