Bugs? Confused character origin

At the War table, there was both the operation for Clan Lavellan and something about the Trevelyan family (spelling?) that implied that my Inquisitor was both an elf and a human. Unless somehow the elf is related to the human?

 

There were also a few weird things about how my game started out.

 

Sequence of events:

1) Create new game, new character (elf, dual-wielding rogue, female, normal)

2) Import Dragon Age Keep

3) Start new game. --> Did not like how my character looked

4) Exit to Menu

 

EDITED TO ADD:

- I think somewhere between step 4 and step 5, I may have started yet another game, but just to play around with the character creator. Since I did not like how my original elf looked, I just wanted to create a new game to play around with the character creator. This time around, I opted for a human female, did not import Dragon Age Keep (so used default world), and played around with some face settings. I may have started the prologue for 2 minutes before quitting. I did not save this game, but I suppose the auto-save mechanism may have saved something. After I quit the game, I re-created my elf.

 

5) Click on Load, Switch Character, Delete the character I created

6) Create new game, new character (again elf, dual-wielding rogue, female, normal). Give the character the same name as before.

7) Import same Dragon Age Keep

8) Start new game .....

 

What I notice, in the first scene, I'm wearing gloves and a different armour! I play on PC, but I did also play through the Prologue twice on XBox One through EA Access. My character always started with a green-coloured armour and was bare-handed. But this time, she had gloves and different armour.

 

Something was odd, but I continued through the game. Varric made references to Hawke (so I assume Keep import is okay) and got some proper references to being an elf. So I thought that everything was good, until I saw the War Table missions.

 

Did I just misunderstand the Trevelyan mission? When I read it, it really seemed to imply that my Inquisitor was a Trevelyan and not a Lavellan.

Another update on this dual identity bug.

 

I got to the quest to recruit Vivienne and entered her mansion. The man at the door announces my arrival and I hear TWO voices overlapping each other. One voice announcing me as Trevelyan and the other as Lavellan.

 

From other conversations, it does seem like people do recognize me as an elf, but there are some instances where the game thinks I'm both human and elf.

 

I really hope that does not ruin my chances of a romance with Solas!

I'm getting exactly the same bug (also on PC) as a Cadash. I got both the dwarven and human war table missions and my character was announced as Cadash and Trevellyian at the same time in Vivienne's soiree. In addition I get some human only options like mentioning that Josephine's last name sounds familiar.

Interesting... I wonder how that happens?

 

MasterPrudent, did you re-do your character like I did? In other words, create character 1, didn't like the looks in the prologue, and created an improved character look for #2? I'm just curious as to how we get into this state.

 

I also encountered another possible instance of this yesterday:

 

It was at the War Table discussion where Cullen is arguing with everybody about whether we should go see the Templars or go to Redcliffe. This is the cutscene where Dorian barges in. Cullen at some point says two lines, each one overlapping each other. It was a bit too jumbled, so I couldn't tell whether he was making some elf vs human comment or not. I'll reload that scene and put on subtitles to see if that's the case later.

Updating with another occurrence of this bug.

 

I get announced at the ball where we meet Empress Celene. Again two voices overlap, announcing Trevelyan and Lavellan. Such a grand entrance, marred by a confused voice over.

 

While we're on the topic of voices, I brought Solas with me to the ball. I ask him if he wanted to dance (romance option) and I suddenly hear... a seedy male voice coming from my female elf Inquisitor? I don't know what that was, but that certainly wasn't the American voice actress' voice... unless she wanted to imitate a man? Weird...

I started another thread, but I figure I'll just move my post from there to here:

 

I've had a couple of small bugs involving my Cadash Inquisitor.  It's only happened twice (once in Orlais when I first got there,) once in the War Room right before Vivienne was announced, like you OP,) but they were calling me Trevelyan and Cadash at the same time, like the lines were stepping on each other.  In the former case only the captions were confused, but in the latter, the lines vocally were coming out at the same time.  The captions in both cases read Trevelyan.   

 

I'm not trying to complain too hard.  Still, I figure I'd toss that out there.    :)

@Natashina , I like the title of the thread you started! :D

 

Thanks for adding your examples.

 

Do you remember if you may have done something that could trigger this bug? I know I re-created my character a few times and I wonder if that may have triggered the identity confusion.

I went through character creation just once, without any backtracking or anything, straight through in one go, and my Qunari Mage is also being labelled both a Qunari AND a Trevelyan.

@Eiphel, thanks for your feedback.

 

So now my hypothesis about multiple character creations causing this bug is disproved. But we now know that it can happen for pretty much any non-human.

 

The main reason I'm continuing on with my current playthrough is because I think deep down my character is still considered an elf... otherwise I wouldn't have been able to start a romance with Solas. I am nowhere near the end of this game though, so I hope the romance doesn't get bugged out as well. There is still time for things to go wrong. :P

 

--------

 

Question to players who encountered this bug: What is the gender of your character?

 

Just trying to find ideas about what could trigger this bug other than being non-human. (unless somehow that is the only trigger... but I'm doubting that)

It'd be good to hear if there are people who've managed to roll each combination and NOT get this bug. Has anyone rolled female Qunari Mage and got it working fine, for example? I'll reroll if I can get a working char that way.

Just adding in to this, I just got to the war table and was wondering why Josephine was talking about seeing me at a ball (being Dalish) aaaaand now it's all fallen into place.

 

Getting the same elf/human cross over, character is female rogue (dual daggers) if that assists the data collection.

 

To restart? Guessing there's a likelihood of it happening again and honestly... I just finished completing 95% of The Hinterlands... I am NOT doing that again XD

Sorry for not coming back to this thread earlier... and I guess for necroing it now. To answers qs and add to the data my character is a female dwarven dagger rogue. It seems for most intents and purposes she is being recognised as a dwarf. For example at the Halamshiral ball I got the pop up telling me that because she is a dwarf the court's approval would start lower.

 

I am still getting very occasional doubled lines (Cadash and Trevelyn spoken over each other), this occurred at Halamshiral when she was introduced, and unique human noble dialogues (such as the "nest of vipers" comment after the ball) but otherwise my character is recognised as a dwarf (for example the big bad referred to her as a "child of the stone" and my character commented on being shorter than Sera.)

Thanks, MasterPrudent. Mostly female non-human characters so far.

 

Found this post by Allan, a BioWare employee, today while browsing some threads:

Apparently they are aware of this issue.
