Those two just look alike, honestly I get more of an Ursula vibe from Vivienne 

 

Edit: Plus comparing Vivienne to Maleficent is cheating 

 

D: Ursula isn't classy enough

 

[HuldraDancer]

Anyone got an idea who Morrigan would be cause I'm stumped on her

To really be fair neither is Maleficent have you seen the dump she hangs out in? No way Vivienne would be caught dead in a place like that 

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Alright, I was able to find one Huldra agreed with as a good choice for Josephine.

I'm still sticking by my pick though Sasha but I do agree with your pick as well

[GameBoyish]

I think a Varric romance could be a great arc about moving on and finally starting to live for himself for once.   

Quoting for posterity.

Welp this looks like it's going to get serious again *initiates lurk mode*

 

[HuldraDancer]

So anyone got an idea of which Disney character Morrigan would be?

 

Oh! If you had to pick a Disney character for your Warden and Hawke who would it be?

I have in mind a Dalish inquisitor that I want to be very "Just Around the River Bend/Part of that World/I want more than this provincial life/etc." Basically a mesh of every Disney "I Want" song ever. I wonder if the game will actually let me. Because I really want my Quizzy to be interested in human things like large buildings and beards.

I'd prefer the protagonist to be a blank slate in terms of sexuality. 

[Allan Schumacher]

Deleted a schwack of posts, mostly because this thread/forum isn't really the appropriate place to be debating the breakdown of LGBT people in general population nor the alleged impacts it has on the bottom line.

 

I'd prefer the thread keep more on track, even if that means that slow news means the thread isn't as active.

That would work too. That would be great to have games that actually acknowledge that a player-character's sexual orientation is established as ambiguous through dialogue and or character interaction- little nuances like that.

 

In the case of a protagonist with established heterosexual leanings only shown (such as Nathan Drake, Duke Nukem (...), Dante, yadda yadda), it would be grand if there was the other case where they showed the protagonist who identifies as openly LGBTQ.

I'm really glad game companies are starting to realize that homophobic straight men are not their only demographics.

Having a set gay leading character would be interesting and I doubt it'd hurt sales that much. 

Say it was a GTA type game with a gay leading man. It wouldn't just be gay men buying that, but also gay women, straight women, trans men/women and straight men the only thing that would matter would be whether they were into that type of game to begin with.

Sure it might scare some homophobes off, but can't we agree that it would all be for the best?

Quoting in agreement. Ran out of likes.

Some frustration would be apt. We get insight into different humans, into different human cultures, and we can see the good or bad among humans because there's a significant focus on the human perspectives in the story; that's not always the case with the non-human groups, because they can get marginalized at times. The Dalish, for example, tend to get lumped together in a bad way due to some of the worst being at the forefront, because of the storyteller Sarel's hostility in Origins, the condescension from one of the guards at the Sabrae Clan when Hawke initially approaches, or the Dalish clan in "The Masked Empire" being inhabited by some of the worst people. Unless you're aware of the lore and realize how dangerous outsiders can be to the Dalish, they simply across as arrogant jerks, and it's why a few people in this community seem to think the worst about them. 

 

In only having limited exposure to them, some players get the impression that the Dalish are all alike, and that being one of the People means being condescending or hostile like Sarel. We don't get the same insight into their culture that we do with the humans. Our exposure is limited, and we only get some minor Dalish insight into their perspective about the fall of the Dales, except from a codex entry and the words from an elven Warden towards a member of the Chantry, or even their view on magic and spirits, which is pieced together through Merrill's religious debates with Anders, and the line from WoT. Weekes' even admitted that a Dalish perspective wasn't provided in "The Masked Empire" to avoid reader confusion, which is also why they use Andrastian terms; they're also not given the same depth and nuance as Celene, Gaspard, Michel, or some of the minor human characters.

 

The human focus is also why some posters have expressed concern about whether the different racial backgrounds will have dialogue that's true to their background and culture, or if it's going to be homogenized to be no different than if one was playing as a human. My opinion is that some more story focus on these groups might change that. There's still a lot to explore with the dwarven, qunari, and elven cultures. Just my opinion, of course.

 

It seems like you have a particular slant with how you'd like the Dalish culture to be explored and whatnot.  I know you're a big fan of the Dalish, but it's important to remember that there's a risk that digging deep may mean having it move in a direction that you don't particularly enjoy.

 

We get it from fans of past games as well that insist that we've ruined characters because the character's story arcs didn't go in directions that some fans felt they should have.  Especially returning characters that have allowed people to imagine how their favourites must have went about after the end of the previous installment.

 

 

Unfortunately I don't know the reasoning nor plans for the plot breakdown, so I can't really say if it is in the cards to incorporate more of the Dalish (or the other races) or not or if the focus is always expected to be somewhat along the lines they have been thus far.  Which isn't really an interesting answer for you, unfortunately.

I'd prefer more variety to be at the forefront with the Dalish. I realize the clans can differ quite a bit, and there are a myriad of ways the depictions can go, but I'd like to see the good with the bad. I look at a story like "The Masked Empire", and it's as though one was telling a story about Alrik and his cohorts, and those were the only depictions of templars available, where you only get to see the worst, leaving some with the impression that's all there is to them. That's not an approach that I agree with.

 

In Origins, we had Sarel's apprehensiveness towards an outsider mixed with pleasant attitudes from Lanaya or Ellora, providing a contrast among the Dalish, but this wasn't present in the Sabrae, where we kept running into a concurrent attitude of hostility from anyone except Marethari and Merrill, and this occurs again in "The Masked Empire", except it's only the bad we see. I doubt that would ever happen with the Chantry or the templars, and I think it would be fair to give equal footing to different depictions. Good and bad is fine, as good as it's not exclusively bad.

 

Unfortunately I don't know the reasoning nor plans for the plot breakdown, so I can't really say if it is in the cards to incorporate more of the Dalish (or the other races) or not or if the focus is always expected to be somewhat along the lines they have been thus far.  Which isn't really an interesting answer for you, unfortunately.

 

I appreciate you taking the time to respond, Allan, and for listening. It's worth it to have someone who actually cares what we have to say.

I've been wondering this for a while, since Leliana is playing a bigger role in this than she did in DA 2. Do you think if certain dialogue options are chosen she will mention her romance with The Warden if you romanced her? Cause she brought it up in The Exiled Prince DLC if you chose the right option.

The darn Warden is the reason she's not romanceable in DAI, so she'll better bring him/her up.

Assume she will mention Warden at some point.
Loved that exiled prince sequence, always take izzy and merrill along and laugh myself silly as merrill fails to get meaning of Isabela's 'didn't take much to make you sing' line.

or Her up lol

[Former_Fiend]

I'm honestly hoping that the Inquisitor is for whatever reason not Leliana's type.

 

Because I'd hate it if on imports where she wasn't romanced at all she's still carrying a torch for the warden or some such nonsense.
