Hey guys I'm wondering how a rogue can play as the inquisitor story wise. A warrior makes sense because they are the most iconic leaders, and mages makes sense because the breach is a magical tear in the sky. Rogues never seemed like the leader type to me as I always saw them as the badass lone wolf's. (well I find it difficult to see mage leaders as well but that's for another time) how do you guys justify a rogue inquisitor? Thank you for your time!

Edit: My rogue would be a male human if That changes anything.

[Cypher0020]

Interesting, since I was gonna roll a rogue soon

 

I'm gonna play my rogue as thrown into position, just going with the flow

[LaughingBanana]

Yeah, I feel kind of weird playing as a Trevelyan Noble that specializes in Rogue.

 

Doubly so if I play my Inquisitor as a devout Andrastian. It just feels... incorrect.

[ZoliCs]

Aragorn disapproves.

[OHB MajorV]

A spy, who happened to end up with the mark and seen it as an opportunity to prosper, I play to the andrastian crowd but in my head I'm like "suckers" money money money money!!!!

[Zwingtanz]

I canned my rogue, kept picking the middle dialogue option (snarky) and she just sounded like a complete ****** after a while.

 

I have problems to play a non-religious character in this in general (not religious iRL but it just doesn't seem to really fit)

[UnseelieSluagh]

So if you play Cousland Orgin in DAO you can see that mama Cousland is a rogue. 

 

I plays as a Dalish rogue Inquisitor and I make my playthrough more of a subtelty thing - an iron hand in a silk glove. Don't bark, and they will never see the bite coming.

[Duelist]

Awesomeness.

[RenAdaar]

It makes sense for the dalish inquisitor. You where a spy anyway so its logical they would send a rogue.

[d-boy15]

I'm not sure what you talking about...

Sebastian is a chantry brothers, a very religious person yet he is a rogue.

And in any playthrough, he either be a chantry advisor or sit on the throne.

[Grieving Natashina]

It works for warriors and rogues to be there.  If anything, to me, it made more sense for my dwarf to be a rogue.  Garnet was a blast for me to RP.

 

She wasn't dumb.  She used the same instincts that kept her alive in the Carta, including knowing when to concede to the advice of others.  She'd seen a lot of good people, despite her life in the shadows.  My dwarf stepped up, because someone had to.  It was also a chance for her to make amends for some of the shadier things that I'm readily picturing from her past.   For her, it was a chance to save the world, and she wanted to leave it a bit better if she could.

 

I love playing rogues, and I'm all about the noble rogue types.  

[NaclynE]

*ugh* Tough to answer for me. I do agree with Renadaar's post where since you are pretty intellectual and have a good assassiny know how like Liliana or Ezio Auditorie what better person to have as an inquisitor: a assassin that can either talk great politics with you or wake up dead with people wondering who, what when and how but get zero answers.

 

Also the way I look at this is "why make a mage as an inquisitor? wouldn't this make you a tyrant because your going to be obviously a mage supporter?" Of course everyone else is going to say no and possibly even side with the templars. Lol.

[Daerog]

This is the Inquisition.

 

You can build it as a spy network if you put more points into Secrets than the other categories. A rogue leader of an organization specializing in secrets and spying works.

 

As was said earlier, Dalish and dwarf rogue works since they were spies at the Conclave.

 

Human rogue can still work, as a noble can be all suave and be a heroic rogue or whatever archetype you want to use.

 

Qunari rogue is a little funny to me, unless you are an archer I guess. You are a big brute who can squash others and is at least a head taller than anyone else, ya, let's all go really sneaky and stab at people with precision rather than using natural strength.

 

It's as odd as a dalish warrior.

Rogues aren't always seedy, lurking, lone wolfs. I always play a human, female rogue. To me, she's just an exceptional hunter (archer), since most nobles likely hunt, and is fine in the spotlight.

Mine was one of the pretty safe people to deal with.  She didn't do wetwork (i.e assassination) assignments, and only killed in defense.   Someone had to be a charismatic person, otherwise no one would want to deal with the Carta.  I did take the assassin spec but mainly for gameplay reasons, over story ones.  I was also an archer.  Backflipping dwarf for the win!

 

Say, got a link to your human rogue screenshots?  I'd love to take a look.  

[Andraste_Reborn]

The thing about the premise is that the Inquisitor doesn't really have to be the kind of person who'd normally be put in charge - they end up with the mark entirely by accident because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I had fun playing a female dwarf rogue, one of the last people you'd expect to become head of one of the most important organisations in Thedas, as a fish out of water who rose to the challenge in front of her.

[NaclynE]

Well I am running two dalish elf rouges. One is archery while the other is dual knifes. The dual knifes I will remake soon since I oopsed on world state and want to restart it. 

 

I still want to run a qunari but am thinking mage. I do agree a Qunari rouge would be....funny(?)

[Elhanan]

My Dwarf was grabbing this chance at something better than life in the Carta.

Thats basically how I play her (well except for the dwarf bit!). Charismatic, paragon, archer ^^.

[Knight of Dane]

Loghain and Duncan were both "rogue type" characters early in life.

 

It is perfectly possible to rp a rogue leader, often those kinds of characters will be the ones that a smart enough to actually be effective in the position of the Inquisitor. Trditionally a warrior would only be good as a army general and a mage as head of a research department.

My Cadash is just unlucky girl that found herself in wrong time,she only tried to get some more gold on side and in end thanks to all "breach" thing it backfired at her,but she is still no real leader at all(Varric seems more of leader then her),whenever she can she tells she is no chosen of Andraste and she is cursing all of her ancestors in process.Like I said she is just someone who got herself at wrong time and wrong place

(that is how I justify my rouge Inquisitor)

I think rogue is only weird if you are a human noble. The other races have a legitimate reason to be a rogue be it mercenary (qunari), Dalish hunter or Carta rogue. Being a mage doesn't automatically mean you will support the mages. In fact on my first mage playthough I rp a pro circle mage that offered an alliance to the Templars. However because the position of the Inquisitor is so important and just screams leader I found the Knight Enchanter to be the only one to fit the role perfectly from the mages. The rift mage works because you have the Anchor but to me the necromancer feels a bit out of place. Any warrior is suited for that role story wise since they are indeed the most iconic leaders in fantasy.

 

Even so making a human noble rogue is not out of character as one would assume quite a few nobles would train into archery or daggers. As others have mentioned Sebastian and mother Cousland are perfect examples of that. Maybe a bit weird for a male noble but it fits perfectly that a female noble would train into daggers or bow instead of big ass swords and sword and shield combat.

I though rogue is fighting style not the personality. Mages can be a leader too. Just because you are a scholar doesn't mean you
are a thick glass professor.

I agree pretty much anyone has the potential of being a leader however the way you picture your ideal leader is different for each person. For me personally making a mage and basically leading from the back feels wrong. I feel like an important person getting the job done and stuff but not a leader. Making my mage a knight enchanter really hit that spot of ideal leader for me and by ideal leader I mean warriors, leading from the front lines and stuff.

 

Regardless there is nothing wrong with making whatever you feel like a leader and I'm not saying that my way is the only way by any means. I just say what I personally prefer.
