How does that happen if Laidlaw confirmed that the BBEG fights the Inquisitor before the climax of the plot?

 

Split personality fight inside the Inquisitor's mind, maybe?

 

I really don't see this happening, and it would be terrible if it did. I'm so sick of 'shocking' twists. It's more surprising to not have a twist nowadays. Hell, given Revan, I'd say one of your companions being the big bad (or traitor working for the big bad) would be more likely for a twist if they feel it's absolutely necessary for some damned twist to be in the game.

That sounds kinda fun, really.

There was that last supper picture...I'm keeping my eye on you Solas! (T_T)

CAPTAIN WALKER WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!? *bursts into hysterical tears*

It takes a strong man to deny what's in front of him.

Different breed of gamer these days my friend. These days people whine if they are forced into certain roles, these kids just don't like tight narratives anymore, I think Shep in ME gets away with it because ME inspires a different fanbase ie fps lovers more concerned with action and less storytelling.

Everything has to be about free choice and consequences otherwise it's "bad"

 

I'm not really following you.

 

Pretending that KoTOR didn't have the plot that it did...

 

The Inquisitor being the amnesiac Big Bad would be something that's pre-established in the game's backstory -- the choices that follow during gameplay would be the players' primary concern.  As long as you're not forced back into that villainous role (or forward into atonement, for that matter) during gameplay, I don't think there would be a problem.

[Uirebhiril]

If they do that, then when we get to the end credits they might as well have us waking up and realizing it was all a dream.

 

Again, no thanks. I have more faith in their story building than that. Not to mention respect for the idea that this is Dragon Age: Inquisition, and not Dragon Age: Tired Cliche.

 

Revan was able to choose to return to the dark side or stay virtuous and try to fix the mess they made. As fun as it was in the context of that story and universe, I'm good with not seeing it again for a long time.

[SwobyJ]

-No, I don't think they're pulling an outright Revan..

 

-I think it could be at least one of the two (COULD):

1)One or multiple allies are actually the big bad or multiple big bads or agents of the big bad (with the big bad having some moral greys.. well more than DAO/DA2)

2)Split personality, yes. A spirit, or something else unique, within the Inquisitor...

 

In fact, we could learn that all the Inquisitor IS - how he acts, what he believes, his power and capability of authority, all of that.. - is because his spirit influences him like Justice influenced Anders.

 

And then we make a choice.

"The protagonist is actually the Big Bad with amnesia."

 

Nah.  KoTOR already did that years ago.

 

I didn't know I played Darth Malak in KoTOR...

 

Saying that all of BioWare most successful "Big Bad" have been those you could meet in the first few minutes of the game (Sarevok, Jon Irenicus, Loghain, Dark Malak, "DeathHand") and that got plenty of screen time along the story for you to know them.

 

That's where DA2 fell flat, you barely interacted with Meredith, Orsino and the Arishok.

[Exaltation]

The Inquisitor is Gabriel Belmont v2!

[Giggles_Manically]

WHUT A TWEEST!

[Shark17676]

I didn't know I played Darth Malak in KoTOR...

 

You know full well what I was getting at.

 

A character doesn't need to be physically battled to be a Big Bad.  Show me the scene where the Illusive Man is physically fought, for example.  Malak may have been the final enemy, but throughout the game it was established that Revan was the ringleader pulling all the strings before Malak's betrayal of Revan (a role that your character can go right back to, if he or she so chooses).

 

Revan being considered a bigger threat than Malak was a major theme of the game.  It's why Malak was insecure and so driven to beat you in the first place.

Sooo... Are "WE" the Spirit, the PC or the Baddie? 

 

A scenario where "we" are the spirit who is contolling the Baddie would be interesting in a way. 

The showdown, as I see it, would be a number of cutscenes with QTEs where we'll try to regain control over Inquisitor.

 

Duncan in DA:O - Where he chooses to go - that person becomes the Warden, while other die (most likely).

Spirit in DA:I - Which body to inhabit among 1000s soon to be corpses - becomes Inquisitor (but the "PC is the the Baddie" theory falls apart)

[Samahl]

I really hope this isn't the case.

I didn't play KOTOR, but the whole thing reminds me of (Maleficent and Frozen spoilers below)

Spoiler

how Maleficent and Frozen basically had the same plot twist, re: true love.

It's boring and I know BioWare can do better.

[Beliar86]

Funny people are saying that it could be somebody in your party tge whole time since that is the premise of Kotor 2.

[Gearwarden]

Been there, done that.

[Samahl]

A: I am sorry that I ruined the ending of KOTOR for you.

 

B: I am sorry that you have never played KOTOR. It is, arguably, the best RPG ever made.

Eh, I don't mind. I'm probably never going to play it, tbh.

[Mr.House]

How about no. The Revan twist in KOTOR was horrible and Bioware doing it again would just make me turn off the game and play something better.

[Han Shot First]

I'd hope they wouldn't do a repeat of the Revan twist.

 

That being said if that is the route they go, I hope one of the options is to have the Inquisitor kill himself.

[SwobyJ]

How about no. The Revan twist in KOTOR was horrible and Bioware doing it again would just make me turn off the game and play something better.

 

I know opinions and everything, but the Revan twist was actually pretty widely lauded.

[General TSAR]

What, like Strelok or Captain Walker?

 

I don't think BioWare is capable of that without some logical inconsistency. 

[Mr.House]

Good for it, I found it horrible just like I find KOTOR to be extremely overrated.

 

KOTOR 2>KOTOR

 

JE had a much better twist then KOTOR.

[Cainhurst Crow]

What a Reha- I mean, complete recycling of their previous works.

[SwobyJ]

I do like KOTOR 2 more, overall.
