A hero who doesn't wanna be a hero isn't a blaspheme .

Once again, missing the point.

[LukaCrosszeria]

My Dalish inquisitor won't be too thrilled about leading the inquisition either, nor will he want that mark. He'll be more of an anti-hero I think.

[AlexiaRevan]

 

 

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.

And whats your point ? 

 

You are saying that peoples want to create an incompetent charachter . But yours maybe reluctant . 

[Vita Brevis]

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 . 

The truth is, no one except for a human Quizzy (and a rogue or warrior, but not a mage) suppose to give a crap about the Inquisition. Because why the heck should they.

Point is: If you cry, whine and get dragged around. You're gonna die as a protagonist if you don't get out of that stage fast, especially if you're in combat heavy situations. I never argued anything else.

No, whinning does not equate to "I don't want to be the Inquisitor" <Crosses arms>. What I'm saying is literally what I mean. Crying and whinning, like a baby.

Off-note. I don't wish to derail the thread further with this debate of misunderstandings. Closing up.

People can do whatever it takes to stay alive while absolutely hating what they're doing and nagging all the way about it. Both in the fantasy and in the real life.

Imean if Fenris can do all this, while staying alive, why can't Quizzy. Whining, nagging and bad mood overall has little to do with anything.

I didn't see Fenris get dragged around while crying his eyes out.

[The Ascendant]

This is a perfect opportunity for my human male mage to attain power and position.

[TheKomandorShepard]

And what not giving damn about something or having different goals have to do with being whiny or incompetent?

 

Unless you are talking about literal crying what was never option in dao and isn't in dai where you simple could state that you aren't happy with your hand and it is prefectrly normal reaction as you don't know how it will affect you.

My Dalish mage certainly won't care what happens to this group once the Breach is sealed.  He's going to want to go back to his clan so that he can become the next Keeper like he had planned before he got dragged into this demon business... not that I actually expect the game to allow for this ending, but it's what he will be expecting until he is told otherwise (barring some unforseen, drastic changes to his mindset ofc).

 

My Dalsih warrior, on the other hand, will wind up drunk with power and nothing short of assassination will get him off his throne.  So there are different ways that this can be approached, even with non-human Inquisitors.

Only if you're friends.

If you're rivals he does that. A lot. Like Hawke says "Let me guess, you're upset. Again."

I think we perceive crying and whinning like a baby, very differently.

[Bigdoser]

Being at the helm of a mainly human organization and being possibly chosen by one of the most prominent chantry figures to save the world? Hell yeah I would take the reigns and laugh at them considering they call Qunari heathens and their leader who made the religion chose a Qunari. 

 

I am going to use every opportunity to rub it in. Now about the title? Don't care either way won't care much for the title of herald would prefer to be called something else lucky we can choose but he will use this power to stop the breach since its the right thing to do. Plus perhaps change the Qunari's view on mages since I personally find what they do to them is bloody disgusting. 

 

Oh and he is going to build an interest in spirits (I put demons under the name as well) and what they are all about. 

[Vita Brevis]

Oh come on. He gets angry but whines at the same time, and it doesn't matter what Hawke does to him and for him. He blames Hawke for everything - for his help and for the lack of it, for his sympathy and it's absence... while still being perfectly capable of killing enemies and crushing them to dust.

Those things don't overlap.

I think that Muspade is talking about the "I don't want to be here" type of whining, not the "why don't you share my opinions" type...

[Vita Brevis]

I think his attitude is close enough even if his motivation is a little different. And he's really annoyed by Hawke if they're rivals because yeah - Hawke basically makes him do things he hates to do (like helping mages, making deals with the demons, or helping Hawke get a slave... you know). And places Hawke drags him to? Like the orlesian estate and the Deep roads?  No comments here.

IRL, we all find ourselves in the position where we have to do/be something we don't want to.  Personally, I get all sarky, point out when I can that I am under duress, but I still do the job I'm there to do.  Then I feck off home as soon as I can.  A reluctant inquisitor will no doubt do the same thing.

[Markus]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the issue is more the idea of the Inquisitor stamping their foot like a child and whining "I'm not going to do that, and you can't  make me!  Nyeh!"  Or a slightly more eloquent variation of that basic theme.  And then refusing to move on from that, requiring their party members to drag them from place to place while they whine constantly.

Not grumble when things get hard, but full-on childish ranting.

 

I personally like the concept of the classical anti-hero who, while they do the job of a hero, lack some of the classic heroic traits, like courage, dashing(ness), confidence, stoicism, and excellent leadership skills, and a lack of considerable faults.  These types of characters have to struggle and develop some of the traits they lack, and often go through hell doing it.

 

I don't know how well I'll be able to RP this, but I'll definitely try to do it with one inquisitor, at least.

[Markus]

Mmm.. nug burger.

 

Does sound tasty.  What can you get on it?

[SgtSteel91]

My Inquisitor wants to close The Breach, but they want the Inquisiton to be Independent from the Chantry and doesn't like being hailed as a Chantry aligned figure head.

[EdwinLi]

Well it will be up to the play why they have motivation for being the Inquisitor through their dialogue choices.

 

The start of each story is mostly because things went wrong during the Peace Summit. how the Inquisitor feels will be up to the player.

[MissMayhem96]

My Dalish Mage who trained to be Keeper for so long gets swept up into a world devastating conflict in which she is the only one that can close rifts and save the world?

Yeah, I can see how someone may hesitate, and doubt themselves to be the only one who can stop a threat that big. But as the Inquisition grows and she mentors with Solas, she will become more confident.

[Augustei]

The Inquisitor lives in the world
The Inquisitor is perhaps the only one that can save the world
The Inquistor wants to continue living in the world
The Inquisitor wants their loved ones to continue living in the world

Sounds like pretty good motivation to me

lot's of people in the real world are brought kicking and screaming into reality, so why not a PC?
