Let's try to keep it calm
They were just doing it for that specific character.
My Cousland did it too, but my other characters didn't

I was kidding of course!

He threatened Royce's power. He had to go. If it makes you feel better I died a little inside.

It does make me feel better. Royce seems like one cold hard SOB. Did he romance Morrigan?

In Inquisition I am going to go for a playthrough similar to the one in this video:

I like to play characters I find interesting. As a result, I have some highly varied playthroughs. I attribute my enjoyment to doing this largely to what I perceive as almost universally moderate views on most issues. Even when I'm pro-X or anti-Y, I generally see the BS and valid arguments too. I'm fairly pro-Qunari, even if I dislike their treatment of mages. I just like the ideals, find the lore interesting and enjoy all total backhands in the language. That said, my canon Hawke was aggressively anti-Qunari and supported Petrice in her crusade against them.

Out of curiosity; the class? Or just mages in general?
And thank you for sharing.

I hate the stereotypical mage class.

[Hazegurl]

IMO, mages need to remain under watch and in the circle if they can't control themselves. Perhaps turning the circle into a school would help.  Yet I have played a mage Warden who wanted to escape and was willing to do whatever it took to avoid seeing the inside of another Circle. When Alistair told her he was in line to be King the wheels were turning. She fell for him during their journey but she started out wanting to put him on the throne at all costs and remain in a high position close to him. She chose to be his adviser and Mistress. She hardened him because she didn't want Eamon to have too much control over him and made Alistair do the DR. And although I personally think Loghain should be recruited I have Alistair duel him and decide his fate to show everyone that he is a strong King worthy of following. Anora stays locked up.

 

My male Cousland was an a$$hole. He was a spoiled noble who treated everyone but his family like dirt. He hated Alistair because he felt that he was a coward and less than a man and he took every opportunity to let him know it. Finding out Alistair was next in line didn't stop him. it just made him more aggressive toward him as he did not want to bow to any King like Alistair. He treated Elves like the servants they were, had sex with the Dalish girl and rubbed it in the boy's face, he killed anyone who stood in his way, allowed Redcliffe to fall because Alistair wanted to save them, which turned out to be the better choice because it destroys Alistair's support system. After hearing Anora was still in the game he gained what info he could of her and then immediately made a deal to marry her. He recruited Loghain and let Alistair go because he knew he would never do anything but wallow, I think my Warden almost wanted Alistair to try to take the throne. Although he did entertain killing him. 

 

He also kind of sort of fell in love with Morrigan. I'm usually a romantic and almost always role play my romances as a true love thing but with him, he and Morrigan had one of those do they or don't they love affairs. Like maybe you could tell they love each other but it's unclear how either of them feel. He did the DR with her and then followed her in the Mirror.

 

In DA 2, I have played Hawkes who actually like Anders.

[KC_Prototype]

Morrigan. Leliana. And Anora. But mostly Morrigan.

I did the same with my canon Warden and he was a Cousland but let his best friend Alistair regain his rightful place on the throne. I had a love triangle and then had to break it off with Leliana for Morrigan, you know women of Thedas. Anora seems like she would of been a  fun LI.

Out of my 3 main cannons only one is from what I'd call my own point of view, which is my easy going city elf rouge / jokester Hawke rouge run throughs.  Middle ground, trying to fix things without a fight. 

 

The one most opposite to me is my DA:O mage who is very devout, very strict in following to the rules of the circle and the chantry. Choices were all made from the mind set of what would the maker want from her. So all of the choices where good from her point of view but not necessarily nice, for example connor had to die.  Given I'm an atheist that one was a bit of a stretch.

[Vroom Vroom]

Sooo...
My computer's broken and this phone won't let me upload the YouTube app anymore. T.T Me no see.

It was Commander Shepard making all the decisions that gets everyone killed in Mass Effect 2, but the character was played as being dumb not malicious. 

[RynJ]

Ultimately, there are choices I like to make and I'm bad at creating characters that make all the "bad" choices. If there are choices that are in more of a grey area, though, I'll have my characters explore them even if I'm inclined towards one of them.

 

My characters in personality and dialogue are never me, but the big choices in my canon runs are mostly the ones that sound "right" to me. Each character may choose them for a different reason but they all end up choosing them. I find playthroughs where I choose all the options that don't seem right boring. I always abandon them a little of the way in.

 

There are a few exceptions to this, though. I chose Bhelen over Harrowmont through pure metagaming, as that wouldn't be me or my Warden's initial instinct. The Dark Ritual made sense for my Warden to do but was never something I thought would turn out all that well. The Architect my Warden kept alive purely so I could see where they went with the character and because my Warden is the type to take a huge risk if it could possibly turn out for the better. My first instinct was to kill it immediately.

[Chernaya]

I do make different characters, but I have a problem where all of these characters end up reflecting me and my morals at least in some ways. Some choices are easy for me to change around, others that I feel more strongly about, are not. I have tried it and pretty much cringed in the process. I wish it were easier for me though because I am curious about exploring other options, but I suppose that is why I should be thankful for Youtube.

 

One character whom I have tried acting differently towards for roleplay reasons was Merrill in DA2 and her personal quest. I've tried both supporting her and not supporting her. It stays though, that I as a person like Merrill so her ending up practically hating my guts always made me feel horrible... thus, most of my playthroughs since then have been supporting her.

IMO this is the heart of roleplaying... it allows the player to experience storylines independent of personal bias.  Well, to en extent, of course... I am sure we all have things that we simply will not do in games, but for the most part this type of impersonal roleplaying allows adds a lot of replay value.  Without going into too much detail, my Wardens and Hawkes have gone through their timelines with any number of personal goals and behavioral quirks... this is how I ultimately decide what I want to be canon.  Eventually I come across a combination of traits and decisions that feels right for the character, and thus my preferred storyline is born. 

 

It's good stuff, and I'm glad we have games that allow us to do it.  Hopefully Inquisition follows this trend.

Ah yes the 'blonde Shepard' worst possible play through.



It's tempting to do an idiot inquisitor who makes poor decisions throughout just short of a total fail state losing companions left right and centre.

But for me just too much effort for the result.

[Jazzpha]

I decided that for my third run, in order to reflect the unstoppable foreknowledge of the game that I will have amassed by then, I'm going to be patterning my Qunari Inquisitor after Black Dynamite, the world's greatest ex-CIA agent and all-around awesome guy.

He'll be full of smooth one-liners. Men will want to be him, women will want to be with him. He'll probably wind up seducing half the women in the Orlesian court, just to mess with their rigid social order. And probably also Morrigan, because he can (and because she's powerful). All of his killshots in combat will be accompanied with a hearty "SUUUEEEYYYY", and Iron Bull will be the Bullhorn to the inquisitor's Black Dynamite.

It will be over the top, ridiculous, and very likely the greatest playthrough I have ever done of anything.

And to those of you out there who have never seen the film Black Dynamite, fix that immediately. One of the bet pieces of modern cinematic satire ever made, and a hilarious send-up of blaxploitation films.

I'm completely fine and love playing characters of different personalities, gender, race, sexuality, etc. but I run into problems when I try to stray too far from my own morals. Like, for example, I find it impossible to role play a purely evil character (within the scope of DA) that just goes about killing everything that they can. I can only go so far playing an ******* character before I start to cringe and not find it an enjoyable experience. At most such characters of mine are simply extremely morally ambiguous and very untrustworthy rather than pure evil and that is something I can still get into. There are certain lines I simply can't cross in the name of roleplaying, like being racist/sexist/queerphobic, or at least leave it unsaid/neutral because the last thing I want to experience in a game when I have a choice is what I see around me in real life so often. That said, I find that more often than not my characters are kinder than I am myself, even the sarcastic/aggressive Hawkes. I'd never have the patience or the energy to deal with some of the things my PCs deal with lol.

[RGC_Ines]

Honestly Im jealous about all of You who are able to create PC without any influence from theirs own personality, can play with different perspective, different gender, sexuality etc..For me in RPG games it's imposible. So my PC is always female and the only one difference between her and real me is appearance and sometimes race ( elf). I tried to play several times as a male and failed..also I tried really to make different decisions in different playthroughts but it never felt right ( so reload option). I played DA:O a few times and never trusted Morrigan, never have Alistair as an LI, never spare Loghain etc. I tried really hard to be nice to Kaidan in ME3 on the Mars and always ended with Renegade dialog option...Im not able just to fully separate my own personality and points of view from my PC.

[Adaar the Unbound]

I always play a character as if they don't know whats about to happen even if I do. Also, even though I read the Dragon Age novels, my Inquisitor didnt, so he will decide what to do with Celene and Gaspard based on what he see's, not on my opinion based off of the book. & My inquisitor will definitely be alot different than me so he will not make all the same decisions I would. I did the same thing with my main warden (Male Dwarf Noble) however, my main Hawke (male mage) was based off of me. It's difficult for me to have my characters make different choices than I would, but I will do it anyway.

[Pahldus]

Well, I guess my 30+ years of roleplaying experiences have allowed me to experience just about everything under the sun. So I design my playthroughs around a concept for what my character was like. Origins influenced my character personalities a lot.

 

My city elf hated all humans, left Lelianna in Lothering, pushed Alistair as far away as possible and got really pissed that I had to choose between him and Anora. My only character that let Zevran live.

 

My dwarf noble was shrewd, manipulating and sadistic. His companions were Sten, Morrigan and Dog, because the others piety and preachiness just pissed him off.

 

My human noble was a hound chasing skirts, mostly carefree. He loved messing around and so Alistair, a character I personally hated, was his good friend because he was always the butt of the jokes, and seemed to know how to laugh at himself. Morrigan was along for her snarkiness, and he couldn't wait to get into Leliana's pants, just the challenge of it was exciting.

 

My mage was an apologist and always trying to put his best foot forward in order to help the plight of the mages. Went out of his way to protect Jowan, save Connor, the Circle and just save as many people as he could. Really liked Leliana views on the Maker as opposed to traditional Chantry. Vehemently opposed Morrigan and most certainly did not do the Dark Ritual. Only playthough that had Loghain survive.

 

With Hawke, no choices mattered so I was majorly disappointed.

 

But I like to do one pretty dark and devious playthrough and one near lily white playthrough. No matter what all of my playthroughs will have a little bit of me in them, but sometimes not very much. I try to play as the personality I have developed for that particular playthrough.
