Y'all nughumpers need the Stone.
*cough*
I dunno, I guess I'll have to see how it shapes up that we get that title in the game. And what info I get on Cadash beforehand.

So we now know that we can take multiple approaches to the title, anything from acceptance, to hesitation, confusion, or flat out saying no. That will be great for the different races. I'm also pretty sure Cass may disapprove if we don't embrace the title or take an aggressive stance when talking about it, as it showed her disapproval on screen after they made that decision in the livestream.

I'm totally having at least one elf, dwarf and qunari who are going to be all "Heck yes, I'm the Herald of Andraste. Your prophet chose ME, cause y'all humans can't hack it. Boo-yeah!"

The Dwarf is casteless in this game so after a life time of being told your nothing in the eyes of god (the ancestors) being told you are worthy is a big deal. Who after a lifetime would not embrace that kinda recognition and value.

Perhaps someone who has taken those words to heart might, even though they know, logically, that those people were wrong?
But you're right; most people would be all over taking the title of Herald, unless it specifically flew in the face of their own morals or belief systems.
Hence why Mike and Cameron chose to have Valya (the inquisitor) deny it. Aggressively.

My Dalish Mage is going to have the whole fade explosion go to their head and embrace the title of Herald immediately and do it with great lulz.

I am wondering if as an inquisstor we can be supporters of having the title but anti-chantry? IIRC Andraste freed the slaves and gave the land to the elves, which became known as the dales. As a Dalish Elf, I would be promoting the image of someone who fought for elves but that the chantry went against their prophet when they declared their exalted marches against the elves.

I figure my Inquisitor's will probably go with a "I don't know" response to the question of whether they're the Herald, since they'd rather not deceive anyone if it turned out not to be Andraste after all, since that might harm the Inquisition's following?

All of my characters will be reluctantly uncomfortable to aggressively against it... until I create a slightly crazy/conceited type of character, then I'll go with it.
My casteless dwarf doesn't care for Andraste or human titles, and she embraces her place as a 'worthless' surfacer.

So that's how it works? Hm... that's a hard choice to make since my Inquisitor will be pretty neutral on the subject... maybe he'll just do what the others think is best.

yeah man i think i would do the same as you but like my usual bioware games tic, i will need to play my 1 playthrough as a Human xD but secon i assure you guys
that i will play a Kossith/(Qunari) and i really hope that that will impact things with the higher ups of the church, orlesian noble's, the templer/seekers of truth renegades
and other fellow qunaris, so yeah i'm really curious about that, because i must confess in other bioware games the other races never really awaked my interest (especially in origins) because first: i really started to ...dont know, hating the elves (ok i didnt liked them even before DAO in other kind of fictional universes so....) the dwarfs are ok i guess but i still could get myself to play them on my first playthrough so yeah.. the kossith/qunari really started to interest me in DA2 though so yeah in my opinion they are the most interesting fictional race in DA , and i will definitely enjoy playing a grumpy badass qunari for sure xD
Regards Accelerator ;D
PS: please excuse my english if it seemed strange/confusing to you im no native english and its got bit rusted i think ^^

Actually , while I'm gonna keep my Qunari anti-Herald thing . I just though about something fun . A Dalish who embrace the Title..would be like the Dale War for the chantry and probably the Templar or any higher authority . So in this new idea...I think I may just make my Dalish (2nd Playtrough) one who will embrace Andraste just like her ancestor did..during the time when Andraste tried to save them . And she be a mage...so that gonna spice it up even more ![]()

My Lavellan mage will be.. amused? I think. Not denying that something weird is going on. But also not converting on the spot. She'll still retain her worship of the elven gods. She won't reject the title. In fact, I believe she might embrace it. Andraste did good things for both elves and humans, after all. If she survived the destruction at the temple, clearly Mythal protected her.
I think my Trevelyan will be kind of awestruck. An amazing thing just happened.
Whereas my Adaar would think it's nonsense, and eventually step up to the position one way or another.

Here's a screencap of what they showed us when Cullen asked how we felt about the title. This is likely the first time being asked in the game since the character wasn't aware of the title previously.

"I don't know" could be a pretty neutral answer, possibly.

lol... I think my Inquisitor will pick, "It's unnerving," since he will still be feeling confused and totally out of place among all of these humans... xD
It's cool that they are giving us this kind of option... I heard that we could voice our opinion on the matter, but wasn't sure how that would turn out. This looks like a good start.

I really want to know what the Inquisitor says if you choose 'I like it'. Hopefully it's a very neutral answer. I want my dwarf to like it because of the immense political power it'd grant him if the title catches on. I don't want him to say "Yes! I love Andraste! Praise the Maker!" or something like that. I also don't want my (hilariously) devout Andrastian Qunari to say "Yeeees...it'll be veeeeeery useful hue hue" while stroking his evil Littlefinger mustache.

This tittle is by far the most awkward thing in the game (so far anyway, they very likely will top it). I still wonder how it will play out, and I don't necessarily think it'll be this huge advantage some people seem to think it'll be. I'm guessing it's like anything else in these games, embracing the tittle will endure you to some npc and factions, but some others will probably want you dead for claiming such a thing. Though people wanting you dead is business as usual in the Dragon Age. At the end I have a feeling the choice will matter very little, so my first play through I plan to deny the tittle as it doesn't really fit my elf I have planned. I just hope it isn't brought up very often either way.

Hum, I guess my male elfquisitor will have some sort of rivalmance with Cass

You're by default in opposition to the Chantry at the start of the game, because the Chantry has denounced you because of the title people associate with you. It's a safe bet you'll have to convince the Chantry or remain in opposition to it if you agree to claim the title.

I guess it's only natural that some people won't (*cough* Cassandra), but I hope denying it will at least reduce the number of people who call me that.
Having said that, my second Inquisitor will embrace the title. See what the world makes of an elven mage with that title.

I want my Cadash to accept it with a lot of sarcasm... I do, I want to mock them...
