Just played the Dalish Origin and I played it as a Dalish who absolutely hated becoming a warden and was dragged kicking and screaming all the way to Ostagar (Funny image...). I have to wonder how they will box the Inquisitor in to going along the path of the Inquisition. Will it be like Origins in the vein of "Your doing this or you will die." Or will be like Shepard where we can be as snide and bitter as we wish, but we won't divert away from the main goal..

 

Personally I have the image of Cassandra Dragging the Inquisitor by the feet all the way to Skyhold saying "Your gonna be the Inquisitor!" All the while the Inquisitor slamming his/her fist on the ground whining. "I don't wanna go!"

I think we'll be able to be bitter about it. In the PC stream

Spoiler

the Inquisitor had the option of saying they wanted the mark gone

[dgcatanisiri]

Well, given the whole 'green glowy hand bit,' I think the Inquisitor's going to have a vested interest in figuring all of this out. That's probably hazardous to your health, so they want it gone, and, surprise surprise! The way to do that is to stop the corresponding big green crack in the sky.

Why wouldn't the inquisitor want to help? Would he/she rather live in a infested demon world? I would do it if I was the only one who could close these portals.

Same reason the Dalish Warden refused to join the Wardens even if it was in their best interest. They don't want to.

[Reptillius]

His motivation is going to be easy.  "All I did was try to go out for a nug burger and this is what happens. I was better off in (whatever place you came from)"

But there were other wardens that could had helped. Inquisitor is the only one who actually can close the breach. 

[ComedicSociopathy]

Glowing hand or no, the Inquisitor is going to be worried about the Tear just like every other living thing on Thedas. That's reason enough to be invested in stopping the Elder One. 

[TheTurtle]

My Inquisitors will never not want to stop the breach, but that doesn't mean that they all have to be happy about having that kind of responsibility thrust on them and I think that's what the OP is asking.

Yeah, and also, there's the question of how much we'll actually be able to fight it.  There's always going to be a degree of "But Thou Must," but we'll probably be able to be a bit sour about it.

 

Neither of my two planned Inquisitors will refuse to help close the Breach; it's not only in their best interests, but they also don't want to see people get hurt or die.  They differ on leading the Inquisition, though.  One accepts the job with gusto and is strong from the start, while the other fears the role due to a lack of confidence in their leadership abilities, and has to grow into the position.

I love how people want to create the most incompetent and whinning characters to fit into leader positions. 

Personally, I'm unaware of my characters motivation although he certainly won't be a cry baby about it, even if reluctant to take office.

A PC who whines from start to finish is perhaps going a bit too far, but to be fair, the majority of the PC options are just run of the mill warriors, rogues, and mages who have this responsibility thrust upon them by a random twist of fate.  Perhaps they will grow into the role, perhaps not.  The glowy hand seems to be the only qualification for the job, and it looks like we will become leader by default, even if we don't earn it.  I see no reason for players to create only bold, unwavering PCs since the characters in the game don't bother to judge and promote the protagonist based on merit.  In fact, I'd say that an uncertain hero makes more sense because they didn't earn the job.  At least for the first few missions...

There are many other sorts of personalities to create that doesn't align with being incompetent and whinning, Icy Magebane. The thought of an inquisitor, Warden or Hawke constantly crying or whinning his way through their respective game meanwhile not dying to their incompetence is mindblowing and ruins the narrative in my head.

That's just me, though. It's fairly possible to be incompetent and grow into the role but whinning non-stop and being dragged all over the place? I'd swear each individual protagonist would be very dead but that's not possible due to the reload mechanic.

I'm rabbling now.

Because playing heroic heroes is getting old.

Seriously though, it's not realistic, bad for roleplaying and we literally get those in every game which involves such characters.

Boooring!

If you want to play a cry-baby, there's the Sim's 4. 

Also, refer to the above post I did.

Well no, I have to assume that they will grow out of the whiny stage... xD  That part I don't really understand... I mean, playing as a character who never grows or develops from their experiences just sounds like a bland experience overall.  I guess it could be argued that somebody in the party coddles them so they never have to develop, but that's not a roleplay that I'd be interested in...

[Vita Brevis]

Not all those who's not leaping from joy from the mere idea of becoming a symbol of something so important or something so loathsome are crybabies.  

I don't really get what are you so upset about. We had sarcastic Hawke who pretty much could fit into that role and the vast majority of DA players prefered to play that way. Goody-goodies are overused, people want to experience something they usually have no chance to. They want to ask, at least, why the heck I'm suppose ti do this or why I am suppose to care? Those are valid questions.

Even in ME we basically had only 2 options - extremely good and extremely brutal protagonist, that's just not cool enough. The more options we have the better a game will be.

[Killdren88]

Cassandra: Only you can save the world. No one else can! We need you!

Inquisitor: ....Right...hey look a dragon
*Cassandra turns to find no dragon. She then turns back to find the Inquisitor running half a mile away*

I'm not getting why you're attempting to argue a point that I haven't attempted to argue.

Of what? Heroes that aren't balls to the wall?

I assume you've read books of your own? Do I need to defend that I doubt rocking back and forth in your war room with a thumb in your mouth won't work for leadership?

Arguably a hero.

[AlexiaRevan]

A hero who doesn't wanna be a hero isn't a blaspheme . At least not in my book . I'm planning on Qunari Mage Lady who her background is supposed to be a Merc . Why would a merc want to be part of the Inquisition ? beside finding a cure/solution for the green hand . Gain more money , and the fact that your Merc group has bailed/dead .
