Mage Inquisitor. Because Mages are the God Kings of the Earth.

[ento12]

Hey everyone, I'm curious to know which class you feel would best match your idea of who the inquisitor is and what skills they possess. For example, I believe a warrior is the best match for my ideal inquisitor because they are frontline combatants who protect their party. What are your opinions? As always have a great day!

Darkspawn - spirit healer.

[Colonelkillabee]

Not only that the Tevinters built Kinolch Hold on Lake Calenhad because they believed drinking from it granted them infinite Wisdom. Sound like an Elvhen Well to you bro? Sounds like it to me. LOL

And when you consider that Corypheus knew about the Well of Sorrows....

 

(lightbulbs going off everywhere).

Please don't start another theory session, I can't process all these conflicting ideas players spew. Lets just go with what we're given.

 

DA:I does a good job at satisfying elven Inquisitor, Humans have been always priority so there is no need to even acknowledge it. Like I'm pretty certain 50% of people played with human warrior on their first playthrough. But poor Dwarves and Qunari though, I weep for them.

[Kinsz]

Until DA I the elven " gods " were as much of an ambiguity as the Maker i get the feeling we should know a lot more come about the latter come DA 4 , one way or another.

[Colonelkillabee]

But poor Dwarves and Qunari though, I weep for them.

We agree on that much, lol.

I for one played human mage. But most people don't play dwarfs mostly because they are rather irrelevant story wise.

The Qunari are not very relevant either. They don't have any connection to the events happening in south. The best relevance Qunari have is Ironbull's personal quest.

Process of elimination starts by family, background, then you get to class. Just skip to the end for the tl;dr answers.

 

Cadash aren't really a good fit story wise. Sure, lyrium smuggling sounds like a good connection, but in reality, the Carta don't play a major factor in the story. Therefore this eliminates the Dwarves. If you do like to play this race, the class that makes the most sense is Dual Wield followed by the specialization Assassination, because they wouldn't want to be well known before becoming Inquisitor, but to those that do, be a being that commands fear. Being trained as a rogue would give them the necessary background to be able to command the Inquisition and make those hard choices, as well as be a prime negotiator.

 

The Trevelyans are a good candidate. While the mage class is intriguing, Trevelyan mage wouldn't be trained in the ways of being a noble. As the mage class is taken from a young age, they would have no training necessary to step into the role of Inquisitor. Therefore, following the ways of the family would make the most sense. They would be pretty strong guided by the Maker (not necessarily the Chantry) and would be well trained in the ways of the Templar (also siding with them). While most templars are sword and shield, we need our hero to stand out. Two Hand would be the way to do that.

 

Lavellan is a strong candidate. Through they are sent to spy like Cadash, they likely would be sent as a diplomatic observer. Many diplomats also are spies and therefore, there would be nothing wrong with Lavellan being there. While a diplomat is usually reserved for a very well contributing member of society, a spying diplomat can also be a great way to gauge the worth of the next leader of that society. Therefore, Lavellan is likely the next in line to be the Keeper. I haven't seen a Keeper yet not be a mage, Lavellan would likely be a Rift Mage due to their ability to command of the Fade. Especially since I believe Solas says Lavellan is gifted at it.

 

Now you might've realized I've left Adaar for last. This is because I believe Adaar to be the true Inquisitor of Dragon Age: Inquisition. Adaar has been brought to the Conclave as a neutral party between the Mages and Templars. This would mean you are hired by the third party that is brokering the peace talks themselves: The Divine. This would give Adaar a perfect reason to be entering what likely was The Divine's chambers, as they would be hired by her and likely take commands only from her and her retainers.

 

Being a Vashoth also explains why the Inquisitor needs to acquire certain perks that for other races, they would already have. Trevelyan would have an understanding of military tactics and how to act as a noble. Cadash would have an understanding of money and the seedy side of the world. Lavellan would have an understanding of magic and medicines/herbs. Though the Vashoth do not believe in the Qun, this does not mean the Vashoth would forsake the efficiency of what to do. If Adaar's job is a mercenary, he would learn only things relative to being a mercenary. This means he has knowledge of tactics, money, delicacy, magic, medicines, etc, but not an understanding of them.

 

So what class makes the most sense, theme wise? Warrior. It is stated in the warrior or rogue class that Adaar, Valo-kas mercenary group as a soldier who has made a name within the company over the years. This would likely put Adaar in line with being next in command for the mercenary group and this being a proving ground. Though Addar would not be as well trained, because Addar would need to prove his/her worth. The warrior class is favored over the rogue class, because to be in line for a command position, they would need to be a front type of person. At least, so it would seem for the Qunari and Vashoth. Being a mage does not grant any privilege of such, as the mage class is ostracized, therefore Adaar would not be a mage.

 

The stock armor the Inquisitor wears upon creation, Mercenary Coat, also helps this narrative. The only mercenaries that would be at the Conclave would be under The Divine's command. Cadash would be disguised as a servant, Trevelyan would be wearing noble's clothing or templar armor, and Lavellan would be dressed akin to a keeper or diplomat. The only one wearing anything like a mercenary would be Adaar who is a mercenary. Yes, the Mercenary Coat matches the same armor that many humans wear, but there's an easy explanation. Remember when Iron Bull has the Inquisitor met those two members of the army? To fit in, they wore similar armor. This would be the same thing as that.

 

With that out of the way, we can narrow down the class of warrior for Adaar. It would make a lot of sense to assume that Adaar is similar to Iron Bull and thus a two hand warrior. However, the mercenary group known as the Valo-kas would need to have a been a highly well known and large group, as they would need to be in order for The Divine to hire them to provide protection at the Conclave. If you are hiring someone to do protective work, you'd need someone skilled at protecting others as well as themselves. The best class of warrior to provide protection is the sword and shield class. The best specialization of warrior to provide protection is the champion. Therefore Adaar would be a Sword and Shield Champion.

 

Though I wasn't meaning this to be a "here's who the Inquisitor is" type of post. It is going to come across that way and I apologize. This is how I came to the decisions I did for each and why I believe the Inquisitor to be the class I claim.

 

For those who jumped down to the TL;DR portion.

Cadash: Dual Wield Assassin

Trevelyan: Two Hand Templar

Levallan: Rift Mage

Adaar: Sword and Shield Champion

My Choice: The Sword and Shield Champion, Adaar

[Rekkampum]

I like a Qunari because it's completely out of nowhere and the least one would expect of the "Herald of Andraste".

Well that was detailed o.O I like you reasoning however I am sticking to a human because if their tie into the story. Its only between making the warrior or mage canon for me. A mage is nice because of corypheus being one and the breach and all that jazz, but a warrior would he more trusted by those in thedas, as fear of magic is at an all time high.
I should keep in mind that my core party will consist of Cole, solas/Dorian (swapped out for each other at times) and cassandra. Not sure if their dialogue or attitude changes if I'm a mage or not though.

[Elisaveta]

My Elf rift mage who romanced Solas felt a lot more connected to the story than any other character I have played so far. Currently doing a rogue which is fun but I feel like I'm on the side lines of the story or the whole templar/mage debate. Even though the Inquisitor is the one shaping events I don't feel as connected to either group with my rogue, but that's just me.

 

So for me mage

[Han Shot First]

 

My own preferences is human warrior, sword & board champion. While I don't like humanocentrism, I dislike feeling like a game treats me as a human anyway even more, and being closely tied to the story as a devout if troubled and increasingly open-minded Andrastian is a blast. Warrior because I'm a melee gal at heart and love tanking -- being the first in and the last out, the one who draws the line in the sand, yells "You! Shall not! Pass!" and shields her friends with her own life is just unmatched in epic heroism. That aside, I also like the idea of a "mere mundane", a "pathetic sleeper" being the one to rise up against all the chaos and evil unleashed by various supernatural badguys. Frustrating enemies who thought themselves to be oh-so-superior because of their magic lends an extra air of satisfaction to kicking the crap out of them.

 

One small detail I thought was cool is that out in the Hissing Wastes you can come across a letter from a Magister, warning Venatori mages that the Inquisitor was spotted headed towards the Wastes. If the Inquisitor is a warrior the Magister is warning the mages not to underestimate him/her just because he/she is a Soporati, as the Inquisitor has already killed "hundreds of our brothers." (or something to that effect)

 

It makes the warrior sound like a mage-killing machine, and a bad@ss for having killed so many with only their skill with a sword. 

[fcedric]

Dalish Mage... Or Dalish warrior, or Dalish rogue

This story is based on the Dalish and what have been spoiled (spoilé) by the tevintars, my point of view is this story is the story of an inquisitor Dalish ... 

[themageguy]

I agree I played a mage who allied with the templars and it felt so rewarding. It felt as though I was extending an olive branch to the templars and healing the rift between us. Who are you thinking if making divine? In the end though I think I will make a human warrior that sides with the templars my canon because with the next game in tevinter I will definitely be playing a mage. Its a weird quirk with me, but I like to have different classes in my keep in order to show a level of diversity you know? Southern thedas has always been more centered around religion and the chantry while tevinter has been about mages. Plus while the mage class makes the most sense in terms of fighting corypheus, I cannot see how thedas would unite under the leadership of one when fear of magic by the populace is at an all time high.

Looking forward to playing a Mage in tevinter

I'm thinking of making Vivienne the divine if I can.

[Valerius]

Oh yeah I'm so pumped to making a mage in tevinter I already have his personality planned out. He will support the masgisterium and the concept of mages above others but will be against slavery.

Exactly! That was one example I was thinking of when I wrote that post, and I was very happy to see that disbelief and frustration I knew the Venatori must be feeling actually expressed and acknowledged.

[eyespI]

Depends on the Race, I'm basing this off of which were most likely to be at the conclave.

 

Qunari: Warrior, Mage, Rogue (in that order)

Most of the security guards from the Valo-Kas Mercs were likely Warriors.

 

Though the Mage probably would have had a sense something was up magically (with Coryphyspit and the orb) as they were on patrol.

 

Rogues would be among the mercs as well but (in my mind) most of them were probably archers on the lookout up high somewhere. (Probably not a whole lot of sneaky-shiv-dark-all-hidden dual wielders among Tal-Vashoth)

 

 

Human: Mage

Because honestly the background for the non-mage is kind of flimsy. You have relatives among the chantry and you're going to help them out...because the youngest child of the 8th most illustrious family in a middling Free Marcher city just NEEDS to be at this thing. If you were already a Templar or Chantry employee that would be different.

 

Whereas a Mage rebel/voice of reason from a moderate circle-neutral party who also happens to be nobility makes a bit more sense.

 

 

Dwarf: Rogue

You are there for the Carta as a spy. Yes you could be a spy like The Iron Bull is a spy but a Warrior working for a group like the

Carta to me says "muscle" not 'spy'.

 

 

Elf: Mage

The Warrior/Rogue is a hunter from Clan Lavellan whereas the Mage is the First. Both are sent to 'spy' on the Conclave to see how it will affect the Dalish. I see it as more likely a Keeper would send their trusted apprentice (who, as Keeper-in-training, likely knows more of foreign customs/needs to learn how to interact with others outside the clan and lead the clan) to investigate vs. a mere Hunter. 

 

As far as most sense this is my humble opinion.

 

Edit: Wow, Necro. I'm sorry.

Uh, any?

 

But I guess being a mage is more scandalous, story-wise. Doesn't really matter though.

[Amne YA]

nah  for the rift  mage he lose  the  mark  in the end . so it mean no rift mage .  

and he also loose an arm  so no warrior . 

i  supose  a rogue .  with one  dagger .  or  an archer  with a crossbow in his eft hand (  as shown in the  end  with inquisitor joining sera  to red jenny things )
the  story is  very heavy with elven lore . and with  leliena  as devine  she open andrastian  religion to all races . and because you discover that the elfs gods are just powerfull mages just like solas  the elf   inquistor   become andrastians  just like the last inquisitor  from Jaws  of hackon dlc . 
So an elf rogue or  a  human rogue 

[Bigdoser]

Mage in my opinion of any race

[Aramintai]

Definetly mage.

[Asdrubael Vect]

elf mage, since DAO to DA4 and they all have a happy ending afrer DA4

 

1 arm for a mage Inquisitor is not a problem and actually a temporally problem before you will do a blood magic healing with some lyrium

I completely agree with and share your reasoning (finally, someone else who pays attention to the mercenary coat), however I disagree about class. For a Warrior Adaar, absolutely Champion.

 

However I think a Mage probably would've sensed something was up magically and it doesn't seem like Vashoth mages are ostracized by their fellows. A Mage Adaar would also make a lot of sense to bring along since a lot of other mages will be there. After Templars, the best way to deal with a mage is another mage. Rift Mage definiately as I don't see a Vashoth being tied down to Chantry (Knight-Enchanter) or Mortalistasi (Necromancer) conventions of magic. Rift Magic is something new and tied to your mark though.

 

Rogue 

eeeeehhh, Sneaky blighter looking for assassins and watching the Divine? OH! Yeah, a rogue would be the perfect person to Shadow the Divine, makes sure she doesn't come to harm. 

 

P.S. - Also, all the questioning dialogue put in there so players can catch up with lore would make sense as Adaar probably has a passing knowledge but not an in-depth one.
