That's pretty ironic with a Shepard avatar. 

Why? Shepard was amazing! Shepard was a decorated soldier already when you met her. She had authority and courage and inspiring morality (if paragon). Shepard worked her ass off to save humanity. Are you really suggesting that was a lame story? Most engaging hero story I ever played and a much better plot than any Dragon Age villain (mostly because Bioware shamelessly copied everything from sci-fi shows, but still). I was never as attached to a game character before. Will never happen again. Part of it was Jennifer Hale giving Shepard a soul, but it just made sense within the story.

 

I don't even know why the inquisitor was there in the first place!

[Battlebloodmage]

Yes

 

[TevinterSupremacist]

Interesting. Eh.

Not that much.

Cookie-cutter BioWare. And Shepard is the most overrated asshat BioWare has. Right past Revan. Shepard is without a doubt the single dumbest BioWare protagonist ever made. Yes it was lame. All the way through.

So. Why do you hate Canada?

I agree that Bioware more or less does the same thing over and over. They are NOT known for being the most original or creative with their stories or heroes. But I respectively disagree about Shepard being lame. Renegade Shepard is an emotionless ******* but that's not how you're meant to play anyway.

 

But do keep hating on Mass Effect. I've been around a while, I've seen plenty of Dragon Age fans who like to antagonize those who enjoy the inferior Mass Effect franchise...

[Mocksie]

Not really. I find the companions interesting, but not really the Inquisitor.

 

The warden, having no VA and more dialogue options, was a lot easier to do headcanon with. So I became attached to her just because it almost felt like I was her in a way when interacting with companions. 

 

I didn't get the same attachment with Hawke as I did with the Warden, since Hawke did have a VA. But, especially with the female VA (and the humorous personality), her lines were so interesting to listen to. I liked humorous Hawke more than any of my companions in DA2 (except for maybe Varric).

 

But the Inquisitor just feels... bland. And his/her involvement in the story feels forced. It could also be due to how they did dialogue this time around.

 

I dislike the new dialogue wheel, it frustrates me quite a bit. Sometimes I'll hit one option and quizzy will say something completely different, and without the friendly/humorous/aggressive or paragon/renegade icons, I don't know what the tone of it is going to be. Not having those worked in Origins, but you also saw exactly what your character was going to say in Origins which just isn't there in Inquisition.

I find my two "cannon" inquisitors interesting. The first is a snarky Dalish elf mage who loves her people, but thinks they take themselves too seriously sometimes.

 

My other inquisitor is a xenophobic Dalish elf rogue.

 

The two would not have been friends.

 

I think it helps to give your characters a little background first, then play.

 

Of course, I role-play, and don't play as myself in these games, so I find the dialogue options fine. They're not what I would say, but I'm not the PC so it doesn't matter so much.

Got to disagree here. If we're not meant to play that way then it wouldn't be in the game. I consider most Renegade decisions to be more pragmatic than "If I help everyone, it'll all just work out for...reasons" Paragon.

My thoughts exactly.  IMO the Paragon decisions in ME almost never make sense and rely too heavily on blind faith, luck, or altruism at the cost of tangible benefits.  It seems incredibly irresponsible for a professional soldier to routinely risk the lives of others so as not to violate their own code of ethics, but to each their own... it's not like the games punish you much for following this path, so I guess it doesn't matter in the end.

 

As for this topic, no I didn't find the Inquisitor to be particularly interesting, but I guess it's understandable since the writers seemed to have been avoiding giving them too much personality independent of the player's input...

Maybe his liquor was confiscated at the border.

Pragmatism isn't exactly a strong suit of the Renegade path, at least not in ME1 and 2. Most of the time, you simply lost something and there was no trade-off.

[KaiserShep]

Like I said earlier.. the strong suit of Renegade was just sheer swagger. He/she was just cooler. Damn the rewards.

 

Well, at least in ME2 and somewhat ME1. ME3 Renegade is a psychopath.

 

This is why I generally just went Renegon. You could get some of the personality, without the psychosis. The interrupts against enemies were pretty damn fun though, especially setting that krogan on fire. Now there's a Renegade option I can stand behind.

[Hazegurl]

I think you can lose out playing both paths purely. I do make some Paragon choices, but only if it doesn't jeopardize the lives of those who depend on me.

 

Ex: ME1 I saved the Queen cause none of my squad members would get hurt by releasing her. But in ME3, I left her to die cause it would risk Grunt and his men.

 

Usually when I think of some of the Renegade actions taken, I don't see the major loss.

 

Ex: Does it really matter if you killed Wrex in ME1 if you simply do not believe the Krogan should ever be cured? Sure going Paragon and keeping him alive and saving the data in ME2 gives you Wrex and Eve but relying on two Krogan to save an entire race is just unrealistic. It's like saying racism will no longer exist within the human race simply because Obama is President.

[Fredward]

Mmmmm... yes and no. I miss Hawke's flamboyance. If you compare Hawke's sense of humour with the Inquisitor's you get the sense the Inquisie has less of one or it's much more subtle. Hawke's dialogue options and delivery made it easy for me to see him/her as a free spirit type, the Inquisitor seems much quieter/serious. It makes me tend to play them as studious thinker/schemer types. It meshes pretty well with the rest of the game's setup.

[Helmetto]

Lol, I played my Inquisitor as a Dalish elf that looked a lot like a boy and used the North American voice to boot. It was hilarious because the voice acting really made her sound like a nineteen year old try-hard (and for extra added lulz the lines sometimes didn't match the tone of the scene - you have never seen anything greater than someone asking "what's going on here" in the most casual voice when they walk in on a demon holding the pope-equivalent hostage, almost disappointing that they fixed that round 2), and it pretty much worked well with my headcanon of the Inquisitor, so...

 

Yeah, my Inquisitor is my favorite.

[Solbranthius]

I found my Inquisitor interesting though that's largely due to how well he ended up fitting with my head-canon. There were plenty of opportunities for him to indulge in intrigue.

[Ananka]

Meh...

I liked her better than Hawke, but she's no HoF.

[SomethingUsername]

I didn't feel that she was super interesting, but enough for me to enjoy playing her at least. Nowhere near what I felt with the Warden, though that's expected without being able to experience their backstory 

[Celtic Latino]

Honestly no. Just seems like a random man/woman who somehow was at an important event and got the orb by some weird chance. On top of that they're almost instantly worshiped and followed.

I like my Quizzies and DAI buuuut I'll admit I hope the next game brings the protagonist down to a more mortal, flawed, less superhuman/extraordinary level.
