Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'll be playing as a dwarf or a qunari before I play as an elf. But when I do, I'm going to try and roleplay him to be as loyal to the Dalish cause as I can. 

 

He'll be all for gathering and studying ancient elvhen cultural artifacts and lore. 

He'll be all for establishing a homeland for the elves, one where no one is forced into a religion against their will, be it the creators or the Maker, but will favor the Creators himself as a Dalish.

He'll be all for educating the City Elves about ancient elven culture and help them know what it means to be one of the People.

I was working on a character who is similar to that, except he is a mage and therefore has very little tolerance for the Chantry and Circle.  This character has no interest in the human world and wouldn't be in the Inquisition if he could help it... however, he has a strong sense of duty and will endure working with humans so that he can restore peace.  Ideally this character would retire from his role once the mission is over, but unfortunately I don't think that's going to be possible... I can't really see him having any interest in running the Inquisition after this Crisis passes, but maybe the game will surprise me.  This guy is probably my third playthrough, unless I go with a rogue instead... then it'll be fourth.

Aren't we presuming a bit much, with the pro-(insert nonhuman race here), we are largely dealing demons while trying to find the human or formerly human responsible for this, by talking to other human world leaders and asking for their help. I don't doubt we will talk with a few Dalish clans, and get plenty of chatter from our resident city elf Sera, but why are we assuming the Inquisitor will ever be given a opportunity where they can in the case of the Dalish, ask for land or grant the Dalish a homeland? The Humans don't want that, they want the Elves to be their pets, to see them worship their imaginary god, and will not tolerate Elves building temples to their Creators, nor allow them to freely use magic without a templar there to smite them.

I can only speak for myself, but that's why I'm not doing anything like that until the third or fourth run... going into any game expecting that much freedom to influence the world and story can easily lead to disappointment, so my first character isn't concerned with such things.

Then again you are The Only One who can close the Breach. If the humans don't want to be demon chow, they are going to have to dance to your tune.

That opinion is actually objectively wrong

Which is also why I said I'd be playing as another race first. Probably Qunari or Dwarf. My Human Inquisitor will be a believer in the Maker and Andraste, but will be a mage, and thus less than trustful of the Chantry and the Templars because he was forced into the war simply for existing, but will try to be as diplomatic as possible. My Qunari and Dwarf Inquisitors are going to be far more direct in trying to solve the problems. My dwarf will be quite selfish, being part of a Crime Family, and will be all about strengthening his own powerbase, wealth, and the influence of the Inquisition, and my Qunari, while Tal-Vashoth, will value competence and doing the job, since being a mercenary, he'll have a code of conduct, do everything he can to the letter, and will be far more blunt and direct with his stated goals. No beating around the bush, no bargaining, it'll be his way or the highway, unless you have tangible results that show your way is better. Competency will be his motto, and will not suffer fools and will not even attempt to bargain with them. 

 

It's easier to roleplay that perspective because, while I don't know how the game will go or what kind of decisions I'll have to make (some completionist runs are running at 150 + hours) so I can do what I would do, but from an aggressive or blunt personality.

You could also role-play a Dailish Elf who's skeptical of the whole idea of a new homeland.  Felassan from TME would probably make a good template personality-wise.

[I SOLD MY SOUL TO BIOWARE]

A Vashoth mercenary type without any real conviction in anything other than her own advancement and alcohol is probably my initial plan. My extremists of various things will come after.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

I have no Elf plans anymore. They all went up in smoke because of the restrictions we have.

Just because you play a Dailish elf doesn't mean your Inquisitor has to like them.  Disillusionment with one's own people can be a powerful character trait.  You and Dorian could share stories, even.

Sigh. You're still on about this.

There's nothing saying you'll be forced to being pro-Dalish ffs. A Dalish Warden could do whatever they want. They could support all elves, no elves, city elves...a mage could side with the Templars...

[raging_monkey]

Im just glad we can from a different clan of dalish. Finish my elf template so im ready for my second playthrough:)

But the Dalish I have in mind to roleplay isn't skeptical at all. He'll see this as a perfect opportunity. The Chantry is in pieces, they can't call an Exalted March. Orlais in in the throes of a Civil War, they don't have the strength or will to unite now to prevent the elves from gaining strength. 

 

I'm not sure if it's possible, but that's why I'm waiting on his playthrough until I know more about the choices and consequences in previous playthroughs. 

 

You're right that I could, and I may very well do that at some point, but I'm already building initial head-canon'ed personalities for each individual Inquisitor and Race, and a rough template on what each one will likely do given such and such situation. 

 

My Dwarven Inquisitor, for example, couldn't care less if the elves gain a homeland or not. He'll go where there's the most profit for himself and the Inquisition.

He wasn't skeptical of an elven homeland. He was the one who subtly encouraged Briala into doing her crazy plan. But it's hardly an unheard of premise for a Dalish elf. One of the codexes is authored by a Dalish elf who didn't want to settle down.

BioWare is nothing if not consistent, Snook.

Pretty sure I did a Dalish acher rogue Warden that was like this, tbh.

 

Actually, that gives me an idea.  When I import that world-state into DA:I, my Inquisitor would probably be similar to my Dalish archer in terms of personality.  Imagine: 2 Dalish elves that each saved the world once pushing to get a homeland for the entire elvhen.  

 

Welp, there's a possible headcanon.  Granted, this will be on my 7th playthrough, so meh.

Red/brown hair and brown eyes

 

I might even like an elf with those traits.....nah...no i wouldn't (unless they submit to the Qun!)

You know, your post brought up an interesting thought. We have a few characters who are disillusioned with their background. 

 

 

Cassandra renounced her claim to the Nevarran throne.

Cole has a crisis of identity.

Dorian is an outcast of Tevinter. 

Iron Bull is having doubts of staying with the Qun. 

Solas is an outsider of all elf groups. 

Varric doesn't follow the norms of surface Dwarf culture. 

 

That's half our followers, and there may be more who are but we don't know yet.

People are still on about only being Human in DA2, so I'm allowed to have misgivings. 

And notice I edited my post before you finished your reply.

I wasn't a member here during any of that......when I played DA2 and got to the screen (I was going to play a human anyways) but i sit there staring at the screen trying to figure out how to change races and just check out things a little bit.  It was one of the core reasons I called that game an EA rush job money grab.

 

What was the reasoning behind that? I'd love to hear it.

[foolishquinn]

I think that elfves are both good and bad.
City elf ftw .
Dalish are an double edged sword they can be good but also bad like keeper zatherin and his curse.
But good like the hear say from multiplayers for da:i Hall the archer. An elf saved him as an orphan and trained him til he was old enough to be turfex out.

Some bad examples :'(

Speaking of Zathrien, isn't it weird he didn't take any other wives or make more children? Here we have it, a Elf that has lived for more than 2 centuries and he hasn't taken a single new wife since the time his children died? let alone got one preggers? Even if he wasn't interested i would think many of the women who knew of his power if not his immortality, would want to try popping out a few of his brats to keep that heritage going.

I knew someone who lost his wife in his 20s, never remarried, and as far as I know, never really got into another relationship again.  Its certainly not the norm, but it happens.
