Yeah, the magic tree for the elven Inquisitor should reflect some of the spells that we know Dalish mages can perform; their exclusion would stick out. I'd also like to see elven magic addressed in dialogue, as mages like Vivienne or Solas may have some interest or curiosity, and perhaps the Inquisitor can even talk to Morrigan about her shapeshifting abilities, as the Dalish Warden can mention that some of the Dalish mages also know how to shapeshift.

 

Granted, it would also be super cool if the Qunari mage had access to spells the human or the elven one did not. Maybe the same overall effects, but different spells from different schools of study.

Dwarfquisitor was recorded?! Where? *runs off to youtube*

 

I'm hoping the actual banter accounts for Inquisitor race and such, as has been implied. I'm fairly confident that they've improved the reactivity since Origins, and now that they've finally added specialization/class reactivity, things should be interesting.

 

There's at least one dwarven demo here.

You know, now that you mention it, the Vashoth mage is an apostate, the human is was raised in the Circle, and the elf is a Dalish... maybe there are some differences between the initial magic styles...

Probably not. When Lady Insanity talked about the Vashoth Inquisitor, Gaider said that the Qunari Inquisitor would have spells from the Chantry doctrine.

   so much for that...

I plan on my elf mage spec-ing in necromancy but rift mage sounds really cool, it sounds like it could be an updated fade-tastic version of the force mage spec.

Ooooh. Cinematics are EPIC. Thanks for finding it!

 

Now I'm gonna go wallow in my craving to play the darn game. The waiting is torture.

Bah. I'd like to see him explain how that's even possible.

 

I mean, I wasn't expecting Saarebas spells, which were very basic elemental/primal with an extra punch of ouch when hit with them, but really now.

Well, Gaider also said that Saarebas pretty much use hedge magic and turn their talent to destructive purposes. They aren't full mages.

Gaider said: "The Qunari player was never a Saarebas. A Saarebas is somebody who is essentially a hedge mage because they never received proper instruction. So, they - their talent are expressed - sort of turned into weapons. Any kind of instructions they receive is basically to challenge their magic power into destructive manners. So they just point a Saarebas at somebody and shoot, is basically all the Qunari would permit. They're not going to have more subtle arts - they won't be able to do crowd control. Or do different things."

Yeah, though I'd say hedge mages are more untrained/self-trained and thus they figure out their powers all on their own... or not and just explode stuff for fun.

"Apostate" spells would have been more appropriate than the normal stuff the Chantry lets Circle mages learn... not necessarily hedge magic but something a bit less standardized...

[Hellion Rex]

Lol, yeah. What Lob said.

I will be forever annoyed that Morrigan could learn the exact same spells as Wynne. And here I had hope that DAI would actually take into account that all mages aren't alike, as the lore itself states, several times. Harumph.

Thanks again for the link. I had meant to find the transcript and then forgot to. Darn short attention span.

It is always possible that the qunari Mage learned from a former Circle Mage. I'd find the comparison to Mage Hawke amusing.

[CrazyGobstopper]

The recent picture with an elven mage Inquisitor does include text mentioning House DuRellion, and the scene could be taking place in the beginning of the story, which may place it in the location of the Urn (or in close proximity to it).

It seems that House DuRellion somehow has the rights to the lands around Haven.

[cjones91]

Speaking of specific Dalish Inquisitor classes I hope some spells are nature based or have more emphasis on using the elements.

Thank you for the link, CrazyGobstopper. If it does pertain to the land around Haven, this makes me wonder what's happened to the people who were living in Haven. Whether or not the Warden defied Kolgrim and his reavers, there are still survivors living in Haven. What's happened to them? I could see the elven protagonist's clan giving Haven a wide berth if the populace is still there, or if they were massacred because of their beliefs.

[Gervaise]

House DuRellion has a claim on the land around Haven?    That sounds odd considering no one was meant to know it was there.   Also I thought it was on the Ferelden side of the Frostbacks, yet DuRellion sounds Orlesian.   Where exactly is the border?    It sounds like someone from Orlesian nobility found the place during the occupation but didn't think it worth pursuing with a dirty great dragon flying around the place, so kept it quiet, particularly when Maric took back his throne.    Then when the news got out about the Ashes they conveniently remembered their "claim" on it.   It was mentioned that there is a possibility of our being granted permission to lay claim to places in the name of the Hero of Ferelden.    I'd say the person who killed the dragon has more right to a claim over the area than some Orlesian noble.  The explanation for this claim is going to be interesting.

Maybe they just owned the general area and didn't actually know what was in there because it was worthless until the remains of Andraste herself were discovered.

 

 Also I thought it was on the Ferelden side of the Frostbacks, yet DuRellion sounds Orlesian.

His wife is from Denerim and she owned the lands through an old deal with the crown.
