Speaking of, if the next game takes place in Tevinter Imperium, anyone else fear that they'll force us to be goody two shoes liberating slaves, and the game end with the Imperium crumbles to the sea as the Qunari invading the rest of Thedas. I just want to play as villain or a character who's out there for himself, and not to make the world a better place for once.

You know I used to tell myself that "I'm done with BioWare since DA2", and yet here I am. Despite my dwindle faith I still keep coming back for some reason, but I really hope they'll be fair to everyone.

maybe cause they have great memories for good or ill?.

maybe cause they have great memories for good or ill?.

Or maybe because I still had hope for them as well.

 

Uh, let's get back to any subject about Tevinter Imperium. I already drag this to off-topic long enough. XD

We are always off topic lol

I'm afraid of it. Also, I'm afraid that they will put us in the role of a slave itself. There will be of course at least a three tons of drama about non straight characters and their place in ancient magister lines; three thousand Dorians screaming at us about their poor lives and how their daddied are bad.

 

I would never call my character a villain, but yes, I would like to play as magister; have slaves and sacrifice them. I would like to use a blood magic to alter non straight characters into straight. I would love to gather whole villages of unruly peasants and drown  them in their blood. In fact I think TI would be agreat opportunity to enhance a war table and allow us to manage slaves, sell them, upgrade them; run bordellos and choose managers for it. I think a slave minion would be far better than mabari; your own wild elf, kept in the damp, dark cell since his birth: rabid rabbit!

Nah. They've said one of the reasons why we didn't visit Tevinter this game was because it deserved its own game, which is great.

Also, given that the Blight and the Old Gods are as yet unexplained and given that there's at least some relation to the events you mentioned from DAI, I think a game set in Tevinter is ideal. It's the oldest place in Thedas and has connections to everything that happened way back when. If anything, I think the stuff that happened in DAI increase the chances of a DA4 set in Tevinter.

Heres hoping. It could be epic.

*Story continues*

Spoiler

*Ukki turns slowly around where he stands on a small hill, arms stretched out. With closed eyes he tries to feel changes in the energies flowing around him to find the correct direction. There is a small tingle with each slow spin at the exact same location. He opes his eyes and gazes to distance. There, at the edge of the horizon he sees a tiny change in the jungle. That way it is then he reasons. Nazlik leans on a tree near placing flowers in her hair as she watches him casting scrying spell. "It looks like you are slow dancing on your own" she giggles as he opens his eyes. Ukki gazes at her smiling, "Ah, but at least I know now where we need head next" he said, "With the cost of making myself look like a fool" lifting his eyebrows. "Oh you could never look like a fool my handsome man" she said waving a flower at him with a playful smile. "You never know, I still might surprise you" he said grinning.

As he looked her smiling face he remembered the first time he saw Nazlik. Roughly ten years ago. It had been particularly bad day as one pesky laetan mage had avoided his trap he had carefully placed for her to have her indicted for corruption and be replaced with his own protege. She had a position in the Imperial trading company which he wanted to have in his pocket. This mage even had had the audacity to send him a nameless note to rub it in his face though he knew perfectly well from whom it was. The kiss in the letter... who she thinks he is? This was not over, not even close.
As he was contemplating ways to find out who had protected her his slave procurer had intercepted him as he was about to enter his study. "My lord, may I have a moment of your time?" the man bowed as he went by him in his thoughts. "What is it now Quintis?" he asked irritated.
"I have just returned from the slave market my lord. With your permission I would like to show you your new slaves" Quintis said pointing to the stairs leading down behind him. The slave quarters. As the day was already ruined he decided to go to see the slaves just to get rid of the man.

The reception room for the new slaves was practically just a long hallway with slightly more wider space than most hallways in the tower with a table and book in the one end of the hallway. A scibe would write down the slaves name and future position in the house. A place where the faiths of the new slaves were decided. In the next room one of his apprentices would cast a blood magic spell on each of them, to ensure their loyalty.
Ukki entered the room as the slaves were waiting in a long line chained from their wrists and ankles, with guards standing by. A motley band of men and women, elves and... a qunari. He walked slowly past the slave line while Quintis explained the future placement of the slave he had in mind for them. Most of the talk escaped him as he could not stop leering at the qunari woman at the end of the line.
While the other slaves tried to avoid his gaze or were busy looking at their feet her eyes did not falter. She kept looking at him until they were standing in front of her. She had stunning silver almond shaped eyes, white long full hair streaming down between small delicate horns and light bronze skin. "Oh yes, the qunari" said Quintis, "I would think she would make a great farm worker. Qunari are strong, she will last for a long time".

Those eyes, he couldn´t look away... as she was looking at Ukki in to the eyes she suddenly smiled. It was not a nervous smile nor begging. It was a warm and friendly smile, she smiled at him like she knew him already. His heart started suddenly beat faster. That delightful smile completely took over him, and in a strange way made him feel lonely. There was something unusual about this qunari woman. He felt as he was on a verge of a fundamental change...

"... so I was thinking to send her today with the tools and seeds to the farm so there is no waiting period", Quintis finished his idea.
"What?" Ukki said finally turning to him, "what did you say?". "I mean since the convoy to the southern farms is about to leave in a hour I wanted to send her with it, along with the slaves purchased last week. I know it is quite soon but the next shipment will leave in two weeks from now to south so.."

"No" Ukki said looking again at Nazlik, "she will stay here". "My lord?" Quintis asked confused.

"She will be my escort" Ukki said determined, "I want her to be thought poetry, literature, singing, dancing and she needs to learn to play a instrument". Nazlik smiled at him. That smile...
"But my lord, she is a qunari. What about.."
Quintis quickly swallowed his protest as Ukki turned to look at him with steel in his eyes.
"escort that is, my lord has excellent taste" Quintis said bowing.

As Ukki left the room he turned hesitantly to look back, and there it was, those beautiful eyes were still looking at him.

He picked up a flower from Nazlik´s hand and with a soft move placed it behind her delicate horn. "Gods truly shoved mercy on me when they brought you in my life love" he said wrapping his hands around her waist and giving her a soft kiss. "And here we are now" she said softly pushing him gently against the tree returning his kiss.

I don't believe BioWare putting us in the role of a slave is the end of the world, nor it'll ruin DA4, so long as they went with "rise to the power" theme for the story, and NOT force us to play as revolutionary or liberator of slaves. I remember the Sith Inquisitor class story in the Old Republic, and its ending is very satisfying. You begin as a slave, everyone looks down on you and your master who see you as her pawn has a plan to kill you once you've outlived your usefulness. If you think it was already bad enough, there's your rival who's traditional sith lord who doesn't want to see slave rise to power, but you'll discover the source of power for yourself and use it to defeat him. In the end you become one of the most powerful sith lord, and you'll have place in the Dark Council as well as number of your followers, minions, and even you even have your own fleet. You are feared and respected throughout the Empire, it's feel awesome. 

 

I'd like to see BioWare come up with various routes and options for us. Like you can be tough but fair master to your servants/slaves to win their loyalty, or you can be downright cruel to your slaves, sacrificing them to increase your power. I just want them to give us in the position of power, and allow us to use this power the way we see fit. I hope they give us an option to be a hero or villain or neutral, instead of forcing us to be in the role that we never wanted to. One thing is certain, though, If they allow me to play as a Magister. I want to return the Imperium to its former glory, as well as burn Par Vollen to the ground. 

 

Heres hoping. It could be epic.

 

The Tevinter Imperium, and hell, even Par Vollen deserve their own game. A mere DLC or expansion won't do it justice. 

 

There was a lot of that going around. 

How right you are.

[TevinterSupremacist]

Yeah, I'm with the dwarf on this one, I think I mentioned this before, I really want a Tevinter themed game and I really fear how eaware will handle it.

 

Irrelevant question, when will the bat rise again?

Oh no, never! Being a slave means that your family is incompetent, mud blood and questionable genes! Slaves reek of weakness, hell, they are not even humanoid beings, just vocal objects. Would you like to play an object? I would certainly prefer to avoid it! Plastic soldiers are one thing, but being a thing in TI smells like rotten flesh. No matter how far a slave will go, it will remain a a lowly thing forever, a liberati or other cur. I would prefer to start as a proper mage from Altus family, son of a mighty magister, powerhouse arcanist who is the best from the very beginning.

 

Ughh, your ideas are trully scary! 'Slave' he said! 'slave'!

I think it was the eleventh, I recall. A triumphant return I am sure.

That's the tricky part. Bioware surely knows that Tevinter is popular. It was even a Skyhold customization option.

They also managed to give a balanced portrayal more recently -- Dorian, Maevaris, and Erasthenes are great examples of non-cackling Tevinters. It's possible that they may well give us a chance to play a pro-Tevinter character.

agreed

[Red of Rivia]

Considering that the game will only pass Tevinter, if the bioware want another hero we will have the slave liberator or the northern hero who expelled the Qunaris from their lands. Every choice a loss.

I fully believe the next game will focus on Qunari and Vints.....they are both going to be made a sad, sick joke out of and the real "big evil" is going to slaughter them both.  The marginalizing and total 180 DA: I did to the Qun is just the beginning.  They are going to take something with a lot of potential and destroy it.

get ready for the super speshul Qunari mage who doesn't have to be collared or watched because they're in a super speshul section of the Ben Hassy.

*shudder* I fear they might actually ruin it, and I personally hope it wouldn't come to that as I'm already sick of "everyone unite against the common enemy" theme, although I'd admit it'll be pretty amusing to see the Qunari and the Tevinter Imperium forge temporary alliances, then turn on each other once this common enemy is dealt with.
