Seriously? I've never heard of this before... is there any reason behind it? And when did you come up with such a unique method of playing games?
I have five characters I always send through the wringer. I play Hawkes who are basically a carbon-copy of the Warden proceeding, and my Inquisitors will be the nearest approximation of those Hawkes and Wardens.
The first I always send through is my Lawful Good templar warrior Cousland-Hawke. Since I go in cold without spoilers until I've beaten it once, that character is easy to roleplay. I don't consider it my "canon" - that I save for last.
I had class, weapon style, race, and specialization picked out immediately (Human noble warrior S&S Templar) but gender was much harder. I had Dorian, Iron Bull, Sera, and Josie picked out for later playthroughs. So that left Cassandra, Blackwall, and Cullen.
Decided to go male and go for Cassandra. The reason? My Lady Cousland married Alistair and reigns as queen, and my Lady Hawke married Sebastien is Viscountess of Kirkwall married to the Prince of Starkhaven. Cassandra's from a noble family whose core family has no heirs, so maybe I can manoeuvre myself onto the Nevarran throne. Going to try for a hat trick and have my PCs rule Ferelden, the Free Marches, and Nevarra. Surrounding it on both sides, we can swoop down on Orlaid

There is no marrying love interests in Dragon Age: Inquisition, so that won't work.
Plus Cassandra gave up her claim to the Nevarran throne decades ago.

And Alistair gave up his on the Ferelden one, and Sebastian gave up the Starkhaven one. Politics has a habit of nullifying those kinds of oaths ![]()
Besides, I can't help but notice that they never mention Nevarra without mentioning that Cassandra's relatives are elderly and heirless. It's like they really want us to consider the possibility.
And I figured it'd be something that happened later, after the end and offscreen. Something to prepare for Dragon Age 4

Alistair never gave up his claim. And Sebastian only recanted after his family was killed. Unlike them, Cassandra isn't the last of her line.
They never mention Nevarra because we aren't going to Nevarra, so the only time it ever comes up in conversation is when discussing Cassandra.
And again, Bioware flat out said there is no marrying the LIs(
) and they won't do something like the epilogue slides where it happens after since the game continues after the main quest is over.

Navilia Trevelyan - human female rogue(archer)
Background: The youngest daughter of the Trevelyan family. Her family through her mother has connections to the Kingdom of Nevarra. As her older siblings are in the Templar order, she was raised to join the Chantry as a sister. She long knew that she would be sister, and this gave her purpose and faith. Similar to the others in her family, she found her devotion in the chantry but also she knew that a mother of the chantry can have power, particular for the youngest child.
She learned some combat skills from her older brothers in the templar order who thought that Navilia should know some method to defend herself, especially with the rising mage-templar conflict. As an acolyte sister, she went to the peace-conference on behalf of both her family and the chantry. While not yet a sister. She was expecting that when she returned for her vows to be said and for her to start her career in the Chantry.
Personality: She is a diplomat by her nature. Preferring words to swords or daggers. Though she does recolonize the usage of both. She is a realist optimist. For she recolonizes that to get things done, one must understand politics and the schemes of men and be able to use her silver tongue to help others. Life may suck, but one should do good anyways, one just needs to know the ways to do good. A silver tongue and deals can help the people just as fighting an evil tyrant can.
Naturally a big part of all of this though is that she is rather devoted to the teachings of the Chantry. While she isn't a zealot, she is incredibly devoted to Andraste and the Maker.
Politics: Navilia is pro-chantry. Before the whole incident at the peace summit and becoming the Inquistor, she was going to take her vows and enter the priesthood of the Chantry. She strongly supports the chantry and any thing that supports the chantry she will go for.
Likewise, she is pro-circle she believes that the circle is a good institution for the mages. At the start of the game, she has little idea what the mages mean by “freedom” She doesn't know what mages go through. That said she isn't anti-mage, she grew up with stories of the Mortalitasi from her mother, and though she does not understand the Mortalitasi at all, she has some respect for mages like them.
She will also be slightly biased towards Nevarra and Ostwick. I am not sure how many choices that will deal with either country, but she will lean towards favoring those two countries.
It all depends on my Warden/Hawke combos. I want them all to be different. Each Inquisitor will have different world states.
That said, I'm only tweaking their default world state a little for my first playthrough. I'll probably play a Human warrior or rogue. Class is the only thing I'm undecided on.

The only major difference between your canon and mine? My Cousland was a male who married Anora. Lady Hawke is viscountess of Kirkwall and betrothed to Sebastian. The only thing I waffle on is whether or not to send Alistair and kill the Archdemon(thus eliminating that threat to the throne, but killing a good friend) or recruit Loghain and sacrifice him instead(thereby earning points with my new queen/wife and redeeming a childhood hero, but letting a good friend go off to be a wandering drunk). I'm leaning towards letting Alistair execute Logain. At least then, Alistair gets his revenge before his death. Dark Ritual is out of the question. My Cousland is too pious for that.
If only my Lord/Lady Inquisitor could marry Celene/Gaspard. Then, my triumvirate of rulers/ruler consorts would be unstoppable! Qunari better watch their steps....
Your Cousland sounds boring. Oh snap.

That's an interesting thought. I know they nixed marriages to LIs, but how was that worded...? Did they put the kibosh on purely political marriages as well to non-LIs as well? Neither DAO or DA2 allowed you to marry LIs exactly (except to Sebastian), but there's implied marriages on political grounds that are possible after the credits roll in DAO.
And my pious Andrasteans are all hypocrites. Lady Cousland farmed out her husband to the dark ritual, while Lady Hawke butchered mages left and right and let Bethany go ![]()

There are no marriages involving the Inquisitor period.
This thread offends me... The game doesn't release for another 27 days if my calculations are correct (I'm British)... please... remove this taint from my eyes... Argh! You torment me with this filth! This corruption!!! *starts turning into a giant green rage monster*
Female Elf same as always.

You didn't have too. But thank you. I'm sorry for the inconvenience I have put on you.
Edit: I feel bad now... ![]()
Edit x2: This dude is starting to freak me out...

My first/canon playthrough of Inquisition will be with a human male Inquisitor name Kadrian/Kadrien/etc (haven't decided on how to spell it yet) and he'll be a warrior. I'll also probably be romancing Cassandra, but there's always the chance I'll change my mind as I play.
I'll probably start with Issala, my female qunari rogue, at this point. She'll either be an assassin or tempest, and she will definitely romance Josephine. She will have mixed feelings regarding the templar-mage conflict, but will tend to lean pro-mage when it comes to elves, at the very least, because she realizes that their native culture does not stigmatize magic the way Andrastian humans do. If she can support pro-elf causes, she certainly will. She will be voiced by Sumalee Montano.
After that, Hayden will come next, a male human rogue. He'll be whatever I didn't pick for Issala, and romancing Dorian. He is largely opportunistic and self-centered, and while he sympathizes with mages, he ultimately will end up doing whatever benefits him the most. I was thinking about giving him a slight anti-elf bias (he'd basically be my jerk playthrough), but the more I see of Dorian, the more I want him to not be with a terrible person... hm. I'll be going with whoever the male British voice is for him.
...Though, actually, now that I think about it, maybe I could play Hayden as a jerk, and then do another playthrough with Samahl Lavellan and romance Dorian properly with him? Possibilities...
Then, Asta, female dwarf rogue, probably an artificer. She will be romancing Sera instead of the character I originally created for her, Revas Lavellan. Still not sure what her opinions on everything will be, but she'll be generally good-natured and amicable towards most everyone. She'll have Sumalee Montano, like Issala.
Finally, there'll be Meraad, my male qunari warrior. Still not sure what spec I'll choose, but he'll be riding the Bull. He's probably the most anti-mage any of my characters will get, but at the same time, he's also anti-Chantry and anti-Qun. He's anti-establishment in general, really. He relishes excitement and adventure, and is thrilled that everything's going to hell, and that he's in the unique position of being the one able to solve it. I'll be using Jon Curry for him.
I'm honestly not sure if I'll be doing Mana Lavellan anymore. It depends on how well I get along with Vivienne in my other playthroughs, because she was originally conceived as a Viv romance, and I was planning on having Mana pine for her in that playthough after hearing the bad news.
