It's up to you. My noble didn't like his family (not hated them... just the atmosphere and upbringing).

Same. I didn't want to be some chastity belt wearing white knight douchebag that calls himself a warrior while beating up on squishy robe wearing twinkle fingers all day, and I told them as much. A lady mage may or may not have had something to do with it, lol, but he sympathized with the mages.

 

Until Redcliffe.

 

Still never going Templar though. It's good to be Champion.

Navilia Trevelyan got a long fine with her family and the templars. Her older brother in the order, along with one a templar archer trainer, was the reason she learned archery. She was looking foreward to being a member of the chantry, first out of political power then it became more out of faith. 

 

I did read somewhere that one of the planned backgrounds for the human was going to be an Avvar.

Personally, I love being a noble, I'm prissy like that.

 

But it could be fun to be a step down as a merchant, or something along those lines. I probably wouldn't choose a Barbarian class, because once again... I'm just prissy like that.

They aren't so tough, Hawke murder stomped one Arishok and King Alistair beat another in fair combat.

Well, I hope DA does move on to a potential Qunari invasion.

Cause it will be crushed, crushed I say.

 

 

Ugh. Don't remind me. Alistair should have had his ass handed to him by Sten.

 

If nothing else, this is why I'm really hopeful that qunari carry on as a player race. So long as they're PC's, they aren't playing the worf card.

I have a feeling, no matter what the backstory way, people would find some kind of problem with it.

 

So, why human noble? Because why not human noble.

because nothing that involves saving the world ever involved a human commoner... really, the idea of it all... go back to working the fields

Fable 1 and 2 disagree bruh.

 

Also Loghain was a farmer before he became the Hero of Riverdane. :P

His father was also a former sergeant at arms and fereldan soldier.

 

He was raised into martial discipline.

Same reason that not every soldier in medieval England was a Knight. There were Knights, and then there were conscripts. You pretty much had to come from a good family to be eligible for knighthood.

Yeeeah, a commoner would be nice for once. Hawke sort of counts. But he becomes royalty.

To be fair that's usually one of the main ways a new noble house is created.  Through a hero getting something big done and being rewarded in that fashion.

Funnily enough, I think Leandra's Amell family gained their nobility that way too.. I recall her saying they became nobility in the last Blight. Must've been part of Garahel's forces or something.

Eh...That's a interpretation anyway.

 

The Amells have been nobles since the elf mentioned ended the fourth blight.

 

She didn't deliberately mention anything about them being involved though.

I love the Avvar, but as the game is going north, I highly doubt we would get to play an avvar or Chasinid as they are southern tribes. 

 

I do hope to play a Soporati human if the game is in tevinter.

What do you mean? Theres a well supplied armed Avvar tribe in Tevinter these days for some reason :whistle:

I know, I know.. Let me have my fun :D

 

It could be coincidence too, but the last blight was almost all in the Free Marches. So it was easy for me to read into it.

I don't think it would terribly hurt to see other options available, seeing as how the option to be of noble descent has practically been the only option if one wants to play a human. The Chasind/Avaar seem like they would be fun to explore in terms of culture(shame the barbarian origin was scrapped in DA:O), additionally, how about a conscript from the Irregulars/a mercenary company? Banditry? A guard? While I do like playing a noble, there are more walks of life to humans than nobility, and it would be excellent to see that explored from the player's perspective.

 

Perhaps we'll get a Soporati background at best seeing as things seem as though they are heading up North? It would be intriguing to see the extent of what a non-mage's lifestyle entails in Tevinter.

I would like a DA game where I can start off as a prisoner born under a certain sign.

Would be cool with a raspy voiced dark elf asking us questions too.

Dunno, but it's getting kinda tiresome. 

 

I'm hoping for an Avvar or something next game. Would actually consider playing one first in that case, as it's something that actually interests me. Never done that before.

 

You might get your wish if Morvan's Exile - with all the weapons he can carry - actually takes off. The Avvar carving out a small piece of southern Tevinter for themselves has a lot of potential.

While in town the baker gives you a sweetroll. Delighted, you take it into an alley to enjoy only to be intercepted by a gang of three other kids your age. The leader demands the sweetroll, or else he and his friends will beat you and take it. What do you do?

 

  1. Drop the sweetroll and step on it, then get ready for the fight.
  2. Give him the sweetroll now without argument, knowing that later this afternoon you will have all your friends with you and can come and take whatever he owes you.
  3. Act like you're going to give him the sweetroll, but at the last minute throw it in the air, hoping that they'll pay attention to it long enough for you to get a shot in on the leader.

I only play humans and I'm still glad they included it, even if it does require some suspension of disbelief to work into the plot. A certain degree of fanservice is needed in any sort of franchise product. And I would want humans to still be an option if DA4's story would actually make the most sense for a qunari/elf/dwarf.

 

I agree with this.. though I'd welcome a game that would challenge me to step out of the human/noble perspective and play as Qunari/Elf/Dwarf. If only to get away from the conventional a bit. I usually go for what make 'sense' or has the 'best story' for my canon play through.

 

I really would not mind if 'that race' was something other than human for once - not that I'm a self racist or anything cause Tevinter All Day!

In Origins, a human warrior or rogue can only be a noble of house Cousland, while the human mage is from house Amell. Hawke is, again, a member of house Amell. And now in Inquisition, human characters are part of house Trevelyan.

 

It just seems like a waste to me, especially since the description for humans in Inquisition mentions they are the most divided race, which leaves a lot more room for origin and background diversity. I'd personally like to see something like a Chasind background for humans, just to mix things up a bit.

 

Probably because the other races are limited by the in-game's lore circumstances to be in a much more limited position in life, and Bioware gave racial options back to the players, so they offered backgrounds based on those same races.
