This is my plan - Six Wardens (six Origins) -> Six Hawkes (as in the char creator) -> Six Inquisitors. At least.

 

So far I've just finished one playthrough each of Origins and DAII, so I'm pausing my second planned playthrough of Origins until I finish Inquisition for the first time. So that will be,

 

Kallian Tabris, City Elf Rogue, Chaotic Good,to crib from D&D -> Marian Hawke, Diplomatic Mage, Neutral Good -> Malika (prob. change this) Cadash, Dwarf , Rogue, Artificer, Alignment Undecided (but Good)

 

I'm hoping the game will let me play as somone completely in over her head, at least at first. Despite their tawdry beginnings, both the Warden and Hawke are both so competent from the very beginning.

 

Incidentally, I'm not sure how to get my requisite six Inquisitors. Six Wardens -> Six Hawkes is straightforward, but after I choose Dwarf -> Qunari -> Elf -> Human - as I intend to - what should I do for my last two Inquisitors? No idea yet. Probably take advantage of the fact that the Mage backgrounds for each race is slightly different than the Warrior/Rogue backgrounds.

Just yesterday I was flipping through my work calendar and I saw that, just three weeks away, I had a random day off in the middle of the week and couldn't remember why.  Then it dawned of me:  I took off the day after release so I could nonstop for as many hours as possible.  It made me so damned excited to see that date so close to today's date in my calendar.

I'm not going for mage the first time. I like to play as those in my second completionist playthrough on nightmare. So I'm probably going for quinari warrior or elven rouge. Havn't decided yet. Usually play as male on my first playtrhough and female on my second.

Qunari Mage Necromancer on a Bog Unicorn. I haven't decided on the sex yet. I'll have to decide that in character creator. If the Male Qunari is too bulky then I'll pick female, but if not then I'll probably go male. I'm actually leaning towards female right now. If male, I'll romance Dorian and if female, I'll romance Iron Bull. My party will be Blackwall, Iron Bull, and I havent decided whether I want Varric or Cole. It kind of depends on Blackwall. If Blakcwall is humorous enough, I'll pick Varric so I can have a humorous group and if not I'll go with Cole. This also decides whether my Inquisitor will be humorous at all. I want my inquisitor to be kinda dark and have a more serious attitude. Not afraid to do what must be done and very strong in leadership.

As of right now, I'm planning to make my main, canon Inquisitor a male elf mage/necromancer. This could change however, but, I'm really feeling the choice right now.

 

After him, I plan to make a male human warrior/champion, and, a female elf rogue/artificer (who romances Sera).

 

I have personality traits and the like for them too, but I don't think I really need to post them in the thread (I have posted them in past threads that are similar to this one, however).

Probably take advantage of the fact that the Mage backgrounds for each race is slightly different than the Warrior/Rogue backgrounds.

 

I'm doing the same thing. Six Inquisitors, one per Warden/Origin and Hawke pairing. Trying to figure out which Inquisitor best fits the world state.

 

World 1-

Male City Elf Rogue -> Male Rogue

Loghain Sacrificed -> Aggressive

Zevran Romance -> Fenris Romance

Anora Rules -> Templars Supported

Alistair Drunk -> Anders Dead

 

Possible Inquisitors- Male Elf Warrior/Rogue (x Iron Bull), Male Human Warrior (x Iron Bull), Male Qunari Warrior (x Iron Bull), Female Elf Rogue (x Sera)

The first three suit my theme of m/m romance, with the elf rogue in the tradition of the Warden. The female elf rogue switches the theme up by gender.

 

World 2- Female Nobles/Women in Power Theme

Female Human Noble Warrior -> Female Warrior

Alistair OGB -> Diplomatic

Leliana Romance -> Sebastian Romance

Married Alistair -> Templars Supported

Alistair Co-Rules -> Anders Dead

 

Possible Inquisitors- Female Qunari Mage (x Iron Bull or Blackwall), Female Human Warrior/Mage (x Blackwall or Cullen)

The Qunari is a welcome addition while the female human warrior kind of continues the theme of female human protagonists in nobility/positions of power

 

World 3- Dark/Evil/Pro-Mage Theme

Male Human Mage -> Male Mage

OGB -> Aggressive

Morrigan Romance -> Anders Romance

Alistair Rules -> Mages Supported

See Above -> Anders Alive

 

Possible Inquisitors- Male Human or Elven Mage (x Dorian), Female Human Mage (x Josephine), Male Human Warrior (x Dorian or Cassandra), Female Elf Mage (x Cullen or Solas)

The male human mage continues the theme of male human mages (romancing other mages), the male elf shakes things up by race while the female elf continues the 'mage' theme while romancing another mage, yet makes for a wildly different protagonist that breaks from the first two. The male human warrior was an idea that he would be very pro-templar and anti-mage in response to the actions of the first two protagonists.

 

World 4- Heroic, Self-Sacrificial, Paladin like Warrior theme

Male Dwarf Commoner Warrior -> Male Warrior

Ultimate Sacrifice -> Diplomatic

Leliana Romance -> Isabela Romance

Alistair & Anora Rule -> Templars Supported

See Above -> Anders Dead

 

Possible Inquisitors- Male Dwarf Warrior (x Cassandra), Male Qunari Warrior (No Romance), Female Human Rogue (x Blackwall), Male Human Warrior (x Cassandra or Josephine)

The male human warrior/female human rogue continues the theme of heroes romancing other heroic characters, the male dwarf warrior is a nod to the Warden while the male qunari warrior makes way for a new protagonist type

 

World 5- 'Miscellaneous' Focus (No real 'theme')

Male Dwarf Noble Warrior -> Female Warrior

Loghain OGB -> Aggressive

No Romance -> Isabela Romance

Anora Rules -> Templars Supported

Alistair Grey Warden -> Anders Dead

 

Possible Inquisitors- Female Dwarf Rogue (x Sera), Female Human Rogue (x Sera or Josephine), Male Qunari Warrior (no Romance)

Mainly my 'miscellaneous' characters that don't fit my other world states well

 

World 6- Focus is on the Dalish/Human x Elf Love

Female Dalish Elf Rogue -> Male Rogue

Alistair Sacrificed -> Merrill Romance

Anora Rules -> Mages Supported

Alistair Dead -> Anders Alive

 

Possible Inquisitors- Female Elf Mage/Rogue (x Solas or Cullen), Male Elf Mage/Rogue (x Dorian or Josephine), Female Human Rogue (x Sera)

The focus is mainly human x elven love. The female elf mage/rogue romancing Cullen continues the theme of Male Human romance Female Dalish Elf, while a Solas romance has a distinct 'Dalish-focus' to it. The male elf mage/rogue x Dorian/Josephine is an inverse version (male elf x female/male human). The female human rogue x Sera also continues the theme in a f/f version.

My world state going in, for those curious:

 

Dragon Age: Origins:

 

--Character was a male city elf rogue and died fighting/killing the Archdemon

--Character brokered peace between Elf and Werewolf and cured the curse

--Character defeated Paragon Branka and destroyed the Anvil of the Void

--Character appointed Bhelen as King of Orzammar 

--Character Romanced Leliana

--Character recruited every companion (including Shale) other than Zevran, which, he killed upon failed assassination. 

--Character executed Loghain Mac Tir

--Character saved and supported the Mage Circle over the Templar Order, and Irving survived battle.

--Anora became the Queen of Ferelden.

--Alistar remained a part of the Grey Wardens.

--Character did not 'taint' the Urn of Sacred Ashes.

--Character helped to defend the town of Redcliffe.

--Connor alive and not possessed, and Isolde alive (with the help of the Mage Circle).

--Did not perform the Dark Ritual with Morrigan.

 

Dragon Age: Origins - Warden's Keep

 

--Character destroyed Avernus' 'twisted' concoction.

--Character killed both Avernus and Warden Commander Sophia.

 

Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening:

 

--The Warden recruited Nathaniel Howe

--The Warden (not the Warden I played in the vanilla game, as I said, he passed away) slayed the Architect

--The Warden defended/saved the town of Amaranthine over the Warden's Keep

 

As for the Witch Hunt DLC, it didn't happen the way it's meant to happen, considering my Grey Warden, the one in the base vanilla game, perished during the events of the Fifth Blight; fighting/slaying the Archdemon. I also did all the minor stuff of course, with my Grey Warden, such as the companion storylines and the like; helping Dagna get into the Circle of Magi etc. etc.

 

Dragon Age II:

 

--Character was a male warrior, who, mainly had a diplomatic personality type

--Character romanced Isabella

--Bethany became a Circle of Magi mage, and survived the final battle of the game
--Carver died fleeing the town of Lothering 
--Character slayed the Arishok of the Qunari
--Character sided with the Circle of Magi during the final battle of the game
--Character spared Anders after the destruction of the Kirkwall Chantry by his hands
--All companion characters survived the events of Dragon Age II
 
Dragon Age II: Legacy:
 
--Character sided with the Grey Warden, Lairus.
--Character found his father, Malcolm's, will. 
 
Just like with Origins, I did all the minor choices too and the like (the ones I found and thought fit with my characters personality), but, I see no need to go into depth about them.

I love the thematic distinction of your world states. That's really cool. I've generally refrained from that mostly because I prefer the themes to emerge from the choices I make rather than decide beforehand what I'm going to do in game. Same goes from romances.

 

For example, I'd intended for my Female Tabris to romance Alistair. But in-game, once I found Alistair was going to be king that it was obvious that a city elf wasn't going to be his wife, I pulled away from that and somehow ended up with Leliana. Same with my Hawke. Went in with the intent of her romancing Merrill, but it didn't fit my Hawke's character. In the end, she romanced Fenris and the whole Mage/Mage-hater thing made the whole thing very resonant.

 

That's why I'm refraining from deciding beforehand who my Dwarf is going to romance.

I've got my Inquisitor all planned out right now:

 

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Class: Two handed weapon warrior

Specialization: Templar

Personality: Diplomatic

 

Unless the Templars are being complete psychos again, like in Kirkwall, I'll be Pro Templar in Inquisition. I always support the mages and would like to be different for a change. I've beaten Origins and DA2 a combined 9 times and I supported the mages 7/9 times.

Oh, what to do....what to do?! I. Need. To. Be. A. Female. Quanari. Mage. I already had it all planned out, but the romances...why?!  :angry: 

 

I want her to be heterosexual, but I don't think I really find Blackwall or Iron Bull appealing. I mean, one's a Grey Warden. Who knows how long he has left 'till the calling takes him? Also feels too much like a father/authority figure to me. He isn't unattractive, per say, just can't bring myself to see him in "that" way. Got oodles of respect for him, but that's it. The other is basically like an overgrown Oghren with horns. While that's not necessarily a bad thing(promises to be entertaining for certain), he definitely doesn't seem to be in a good place to be getting into a committed relationship. Man's in the middle of an identity crisis. Just seems like it would be irresponsible to engage in any sort of romance with him. While I have considered the possibility 'cause they are both Qunari, he's almost definitely gettin friendzoned 'cause of his personality. The one's I'd be interested in in order from most to least is: Dorian, Solas, or Cullen; where Solas and Cullen are tied.  :wub: 

Of course, Dorian is gay, Solas only goes for elves, and Cullen don't like dwarves or qunari. Guess Dorian is out, cause no matter what I go with, my Inquisitor will definitly be female. If I played as an elf, though, my options would open up to include Cullen and Solas. I'm seriously considering changing my plans and playing as an elf. Oh, what do I do?! Elf, or Qunari?! :unsure: :(

 

At this rate, I'ma lose my mind before the game even comes out! :lol:

Yeah, compared to humans and elves, qunari and dwarves are shafted, romance-wise. And I hear you on Iron Bull. I'm having a lot of trouble coming up with an Inquisitor likely to find him appealing. I'll find a way eventually.

 

I don't see Blackwall quite the way you do, though. He's the saving grace for my Qunari and Dwarven females. They see him, and immediately think, "Now here's a human that won't break if I do more than kiss him.". They see his strength and dedication to his cause, rather than his age. I've got a very young female qunari rogue who will gravitate towards him very quickly.

 

The key thing to do is play the character you want to, and let the game surprise you. What you see Blackwall as now may change drastically once you meat( :lol: ) him. That happened to me with several characters in Bioware games. Before DAII was released, I thought Varric looked 'meh' at best, and wasn't really interested in his character. By the end, he was my best bro. And Morrigan, who I thought I'd enjoy in DA:O, ended up being a fairly 'meh' character to me(though a few of my Warden's would HEARTILY disagree).

I have to say, the latest video's got some good stuff for how the races affect how you're perceived in the world.

 

 

I REALLY hope you get to have that Firefly-ish noble duel if you're an elf. That'll be so cool.

Originally I was going to play a character who was a religious zealot who felt the chantry/Templars betrayed the maker and are blasphemers and mages must be put down like rabid dogs. However his view was that mages were to be "put down" to save their souls but they were ultimately innocent. The chantry/templar were evil and will be punished by the maker for their perversions of his doctrines.
However, since this game seems to not let you go against both mages and Templars and chantry, I had to come up with a back up.

This is what I have so far:

Galen
Male human rogue

At a young age he was always interested in science and the workings of the human body. Seeing what mages were and can do he had a hard time believing in any "maker" and believs that the fade, demons and all other things come from man.

He was always more than a bit off. He has no empathy for humans animals or anyone else. His sole interest is finding out about how people work. And the world from an almost puzzle perspective. Definately sociopathic.

In his childhood he would dissect small animals he found around. He would often remove their organs and the. Reassemble the rodent/cat/small dog/bird. In hopes that they would re-animate. He later grasped the concept of "dead and dieing" but that didn't stop his dissections, soon he would graduate on to larger animals and then small children and elves and then to humans. Eventually his research led him to become fully familiar with human anatomy. His need to capture and lure prey/cadavers for his experiments caused him to learn the ways of stealth and skulking. His knowledge of poisons and herbs came through trial and error testing on live captive subjects. His parents looked the other way because they doted on him and he learned early on to be a master manipulator. Always the "good son" in the public eye but his public face was no more than a mask to hide his soulless husk of a life.
His experiments led him to the wonders of magic and it's connection to the fade. He seeks to prove his hypothesis that mages created the fade and demons and that they are just people born with an extra internal organ. He believs this illusive "magic gland" as he calls it, is something that can be harnessed and perhaps used to make magic useable by common folk like a crossbow or ladder. He has thoroughly tested transplanting various parts of dissected mages into non mages in hopes of testing his hypotheses. He believes this "magic gland" is ultimately the cause for demons, darkspawn and all other creatures. He believes all creatures (humans demons, gods, elves, etc.) share a common ancestor that is somehow traced back through this "magic gland" which many people have lost (accounting for non mages).

This is when the mask came off- his father one night discovered him trying to dissect numerous mages and insert various organs of theirs into a sedated elven servant.

Then it was decided his son shoud join the chantry.

Firmly believing that mages are a source of endless experiment opportunities, it is highly likely he will side with the mages if only to learn more and seek to have access to more bodies to experiment with. He could side with the Templars simply because they might be easier to use to capture mages. And their lyrium addiction would make them easier to control.

Galen sees the current events as s temporary time and is oblivious to it seeing it solely as an opportunity to further and popularize and prove his hypotheses.
