I don't know if anyone started a similar topic already as I don't log-in very often.

 

Have you considered this? Counting Kristoff, Anders, Wynne now there are quite a few characters that have been possessed by a spirit for a reason or another.

 

As the Inquisitor is the only survivor from the explosion that caused a breach to the Fade... is it possible that He/She has been possessed by a spirit in his/her last moments and so saved by death? Still can't figure if eventually the spirit had a specific purpose itself by taking a mortal body...

This would also explain why he/she is able to interfere with breaches, at least so it seems from the last trailer... and of course use that "green magic" even is he/she is a warrior/rogue...

 

Speculations... what is your opinion guys?

Yep, some of us already thought about it. (http://forum.bioware.../#entry16293834)

This would be a very interesting twist.

It's entirely possible, yes.

 

(I really hope that if this is the case it isn't presented as a Big Surprising Plot Twist, though, given that the forums have been speculating about this for months.)

Honestly I would be disappointed if that turned out to be what happened. I would prefer that not to be the reason for the rift closing power and for it to remain a mystery.

The only theory I'd come across until now was that the Inquisitor WAS a spirit, not just possessed by one, in much the same way Cole is assumed to be.

maybe we are a spirit from the fade, during the blast some how the spirit got sucked into the body and we for get and think we are human/elf/ect. so we do what we think we r suppose to do " being a hero of some sort " then in the end we find out we were what started this crap in the first place and a miscalculation gave us the big bang putting us in that body, so in the end we have to decide if we want to go with our original plan of taking out the human world, or because we spent so much time with the worlds people we now have a morals.  Thats a bit to star warsie. lol

It's nice to know that I already want to kill my own character before the game even comes out. ^_^

I hope not. We already had enough spirit possessed characters. I hope it will be something unique to our case but not a chosen one cliche. It seems like the big bad didn't anticipate this outcome and I have a feeling he/she/it will be going after us so they can cut us up and get it for themselves. Chances are the power goes both ways, if you can close a rift maybe you can also open one.

 

I guess it's a bit like the ancient magisters, they entered the golden city by a similar method as what caused the breach. This time it just didn't close and the Inquisitor somehow retained the ability to open/close rifts. Or maybe the magisters gained the power too but after entering the city the taint suppressed it?

Yea, I really hope this doesn't happen. Besides, already been there, done that. (MotB)

I hope not. Not that I'd mind, I'd just prefer having spiritual possession as an option later in-game.

The running theory is that you're the spirit who happens to be wearing the person as a meatsuit. So in the Anders + Justice mix, you're Justice, not Anders.

It isss possible, but it would mean the Inquisitor is an Abomination, the general public of Thedas don't much like that and from what we have heard some in the Andrastian faith will be looking upon the inquisitor as some kind of chosen one, doubt they would look at an Abomination in that way. Just my thoughts on the topic.

Not to mention - some of us (as in the players) don't like it.

 

I didn't mind a lot of "spirit" related stuff in DAO before, but Anders utterly ruined it. Merrill was right. There are no good spirits.

 

If I have to play as one, then I know I won't get too attached like I did with Shepard or the Warden. I'll happily kill myself in the end.

Too obvious.  The Inquisitor is probably a former Sith Lord who's had his memories erased.

Heavily doubtful. There's too much player agency to work within the confines of being a spirit. Spirits embody certain traits which the PC can work outside of those confines.

According to an interview a few months ago. The glowy hand is a "blessing" which puts the inquisitor as a target for the big bad(s)

According to the leak last year (which have been accurate thusfar) "he" wants to enter the black citynto become a god. With the inquisitor freely walking in and out of the fade and closing tears without consequence (that we know if).

I hope the inquisitor is not possessed by a spirit, and as far as I know no spirit/demons can open or close veil tears by themselves.

That's more than a little lame, I hope BioWare doesn't do that.

I haven't read any background on the Inquisitor, so I can't really be sure.

 

There's differences between the amount of possession, too. There's Kristoff, who wasn't even possessed, so much as his body being used as a husk to sustain Justice. Then Anders, who doesn't have complete control over his body. Then, of course, there is Wynne and Evangeline, who have complete control over their bodies. There are differences between Wynne and Evangeline and Anders and Kristoff. Kristoff was dead and Justice needed a place to go. Justice needed a place to go, and Anders was alive and had no physical need for a spirit. In both those cases, Justice had control, obviously more in the case of Kristoff. Then there is Wynne and Evangline, who, even in their cases, are different. Wynne was on the verge of death and took the aid of a spirit, and Evangeline was literally dead. Wynne was always "close" to spirits, for lack of a better word, and she was a mage. The Baroness brought everyone out of the Fade, which ended up making Justice possess Kristoff, and Anders knew Justice and let him in. Kristoff is a weird case, and Wynne and Anders were both mages in contact with a spirit. Evangeline just got lucky because Wynne was there. 

 

Point of my long and kind of irrelevant rant being that everyone who was possessed was in direct contact with a spirit via the Fade, and magic was necessary in order for that contact to occur. While it is possible for anyone who is not a dwarf to be possessed, it is far more likely for a mage to get possessed instead of a non-mage. In the case of a demon, they would go after the stronger target to possess, and spirits don't really care about mortals. Anders personally knew a spirit and allowed him to enter, and Wynne always had a strong connection with spirits and was offered aid in her dying hour. I find it unlikely that a spirit would go up to the Inquisitor and offer aid, especially if the Inquisitor isn't a mage. 

 

I think it's just a case of the Sole Survivor. You know, like in Mass Effect

Maybe the Inquisitor is an Old god and to prevent the Big Bads plans you joined with a mortal not possessed them meaning both are inside the Inquisitor and the Old God coexisting that way the Inquisitors powers would make sense.

B-Ware could go the Bound by Flame route and the Inquisitor may just have a Spirit/Demon trapped inside them not an spirit possession.

That way they would have the abilities and such and still be a mortal just a unique and powerful one at that I loved the dynamic between Vulcan/Demon maybe it will be similar.

Well if the tradition is to continue there has to be some reason for the Inquisitor to disappear at the end, right? Since Cassandra said that the Inquisitor walked out of the fade I assume there is some kind of spirit within them that protected them, which would be how a rogue/warrior managed to circumvent not having a connection to the fade like a mage does. Final rift is kept open because the spirit is still within the inquisitor? Probably have to sacrifice yourself or something to ensure it closes for good? Cheesy/corny but hell i'm just procrastinating anyway.

It would be a nice Revan-esque plot twist wouldn't it be lol?
