Got a mage, rogue, TH warrior

 

Save for being Hawke, never, ever playe a human character in the games. I foun the Couslan Origin too sugary sweet, uber powerful.

 

I like the smallness of Ostwick, you're a noble house, but not a mega uber powerful one. I like the fact that it's 'backwater' it souns german to me actually lol.

 

 

So I was thinking, either a SnS or an archer. Can a human archer work? I'm still stuck that archers=elves, which lore, other fantasy has shown elves to be excellent archers

 

Or SnS? I got to champion spec on one toon, but scrappe it. I like it, but it felt too....blah.

I don't like the way elves look in this game, especially the male ones, and there is no need to play into rpg tropes. I am currently playing a dwarven archer for instance. They are pretty awesome all around because of the innate magic resistance. I digress though, it all boils down to if you want to see big numbers on screen, or if you want to bash the heck out of enemies while protecting your team mates (a human tank of course will always be superior to the ai) You'll get through the game playing pretty much anything anyway, it's just a matter of if you want to be in the back of the action, or right up in it's face. Templar is fun since you get spell purge, when coordinating with your mage in the party, you can render most rift's trivial and keep the monsters from even spawning.

yes.

Not sure what was so confusing about my post. You either prefer range or melee, if sword and shield, templar is a solid choice since champion gets a bit redundant. You get survival skills on top of survival skills and in the end it's way more than you need to stay alive in the game's content even on nightmare. Templar brings more party buffs as well as spell purge like I mentioned. They can be used during rifts to dispel the pools where the demons will appear, preventing you from even having to fight them.

[Cypher0020]

are the templar buffs really that special?  I mean, I know Cass is a templar, but I only put a few points into her spec.

 

I keep toying with champion- since I hear it's a invincble class, or perhaps templar for RP purposes

Templars are very powerful. Wrath of Heaven + Spell Purge is one of the best combo in the game for AOE damage.

The +1 skill point for humans make then pretty powerful. Dwarfs and Elves have decent race bonus too, but their benefit is situational. +1 skill point is good all around, in any case, at any level. The Qunari bonus is not even worth mentioning, this game is clearly not for Qunaris.
Other than that, Humans can have access to more Armors than other races.
The game is biased to humans, though it makes sense, they are the race that actually matter in DAI. All your advisors, most of your followers, most of your agents and most people who work for you are humans. Except for Solas and Corypheus, there are no relevant non-human characters in this game.

That being said, I would only play a human as a Templar or Knight Enchanter and be pro-circle. For F...'s sake, you are a noble after all. I guess it would make sense to behave like one.

[Cypher0020]

Yup began my human SnS will spec templar

 

really like the PT so far.  Got the history/chantry perks, nice to have the extra parts on the wheel, but as a noble with powerful Chantry relatives, it makes sense

r. Can a human archer work? I'm still stuck that archers=elves, which lore, other fantasy has shown elves to be excellent archers

 

 

Nathaniel Howe was an archer mostly, and he was of noble birth.

 

Nobles would be trained in both archery and sword play while they were young. You could always decide your archer Inquisitor was only a middling swordsman, but peerless with a bow. Also one of the favorite pastimes of much of the nobility is hunting. Maybe that's how that Inquisitor spent much of his or her youth.

Out of the two, Sword/Weapon and Shield makes the most logical sense. Most Templars seem to use at least a 1 handed weapon, so it would be no real surprise that since you (human inquisitor) were expected to serve in the chantry, that you could have thought/been forced to train as a Templar.

[Master Race]

Just out of curiosity what about the human noble Cousland having nearly his entire family and friends brutally murdered/betrayed and entire place of birth/hometown taken over and put to the sword only to have the betrayer also be an accomplice to the man who ends up betraying your King causing your savior Duncan's death and the other Grey wardens forcing you and one other to save Fereldan sugary sweet? lol

 

As for RP, sword and shield makes most sense. You are a noble and youngest sons/daughters in your family are known to take up service to the chantry so it's only logical to believe you were expecting to one day become a Templar. You can RP that you never wanted any of that and prefer being like Sebastian Vael with a bow but still makes more sense with SnS.

Dragon Age II had templar archers, right? Granted, they seem a minority, and the templar spec's warrior-only.

The nobles we've seen thusfar, Sebastian and Nathaniel (and also Cousland's mother), have been archers, but the Cousland warrior also starts with a point in Shield Bash, and Loghain, after becoming a trained noble general, is a sword and shield. I think there's enough, really, to support either. And there is no reason a noble couldn't be trained in two-handed weapons (dual-wielding rogue is a bit less likely, but if you imagined you were raised more for politicking than dueling I don't think you'd have a problem justifying it). Ultimately, all work sensibly enough.

So, the important thing: do you want to be an archer, or whatever? Go with whatever seems fun, since none of them are impossible to justify. Hell, you might even like something a bit different, since it can make your character stand out from the crowd. If you want to be an archer, but are just worried about it being elfy -- don't worry, it's plenty... nobly.
