In the DAI presentation at GamesCom, a soldier calls the Inquisitor "Herald of Andraste". Furthermore, in the trailer we see the Inquisitor touching hands with a Fade spirit which can conceivably be seen as Andraste, in a manner altogether too reminiscent of the scene "The Creation of Adam" by Michelangelo.

I am...worried. Yet again it appears one my protagonists is doomed to be associated with religious themes, and I wonder if in-world, we'll be able to disassociate ourselves in a mature manner. Of course you have little control over how you're perceived by the world, but I don't want to end up supporting the Chantry, I wish to be able to make my stance unmistakably clear, and do so without being overly rude or having to engage in acts of senseless cruelty. There have been some discussions of unintentional messages sent by games lately, and I do not wish this game to send the message "If you're not religious, maybe you're not evil, but you're at least an ass".

This plays right into what I've been concerned about ever since the title "Dragon Age: Inquisition" was revealed, and Bioware representatives saying we don't have to support the Chantry sound suspiciously like those who said we could roleplay against the Alliance in ME3. We all know how that turned out.

I remembe this interview.

The thing I'm wondering is if we can pretend we're the "Chosen One" just to manipulate people...(it doesn't have to be evil or self serving...Maybe your character think people need to believe in miracles right now.) but behind close door you can say "No there wasn't any Maker , it was not a miracle..."

 

In my FennecQuisition I distanced myself from the term, and picked options that (at least to me) clearly indicated I wasn't a Chantry loyalist.

 

I saw dialogue options that indicated the idea of accepting and/or acknowledging the idea that some feel I'm the Chosen One and perhaps even believing it myself.  I didn't pick those options, however.  (FennecQuisition was derailed due to finding some interesting bugs [yay!] so I'll be restarting a character.  Probably a Dwarf).
