A ex-slave origin would be pretty sweet. Mostly because I like stories where I start with nothing and work my way up to badassery .

This remind me how much I love Sith Inquisitor story ending in the Old Republic. You start at the very humble, down to earth beginning as slave. You work your way up. You face a lot of rivals, and you're pawn to your master who want you dead. At the early point everyone treat you like ****. Then you become one of the most powerful sith in the end. You have place in the Dark council, you have your own fleet and power base. Everyone bow to you now. It's feel awesome.

Cool story yo. I would expect that typical approach. Seems rather boring to me.

 

I agree completely. I would totally expect that from bioware, that is to say, the game would end with slavery and blood magic being eliminated from Tevinter, despite the slavery and blood magic being the most interesting aspects of it.

 

Ideally, for me, the game would be about deftly maneuvering through the magistrate's political powers. You could play the game, and be pro slavery and such, or be more subtle, like Dorian and Alexius, and hide your ideas of reform in the dark, or be an outspoken member, but have constant assassination attempts. Either way, you're largely unable to change anything. Of course this would never happen, for one it would pretty much lock you into being a mage.

 

It would be very typical, as you said, very bioware, to have you play as some disenfranchised outsider who comes in and inexplicably changes the entire political and social structure of a country steeped in thousands of years of tradition, in the space of about seven months. Frankly those sort of stories bore me, partly because we see them so often from bioware, in fact the big hero who changes everything and saves the world in a matter of weeks is pretty much the only story they do. People like it, but I personally think it's becoming rather stale.

 

It doesn't make sense, to do that you'd need a massive war, and you'd need to annex the country, and be able to hold it effectively. Good luck with that one. I don't think an insurgency made up largely of blood mages would be an easy thing to deal with.

 

No, Tevinter needs to stay the way it is, it's negative aspects are what makes it compelling. If the slate was wiped clean, slavery abolished, and blood magic taken away, it would just be another country, except it would have a lot of really old buildings, and some crotchety old mages.

I plan to tear the Tevinter Imperium's establishment down.

You'd sooner kill every last mage for all eternity.

 

Or convince Orlesians that "less is more".

HAHAHAHA

If its like that then I don't really mind. So long as it doesn't turn into "hurr hurr rape slave" button.

Because I'm sure there are some people who would enjoy an option like that.

So what's the problem? Some people will enjoy it, why deny them the fun?

[KainD]

Well, if they do put slavery in, then they should pull no punches.We should have scenes where families are split from each other and crying. There should rape and the most atrocious depictions of mental, physical, and sexual abuse. Especially on children.

 

 

Lets do this. See how cool it is. Nothing should trump video game entertainment. 

 

I would upvote your post if it wasn't sarcastic.

Wouldn't mind the whole families are split scene tbh

[KainD]

Wouldn't mind the whole tearing families are split scene tbh

 

Srsly the more the better, the more diverse the options and outcomes the more fun it is for everybody, and the more meaningful everybody feels their decisions are. Even people that play goody-two-shoes would feel better for their decision to help / free slaves if they knew the alternatives of possible rape / torture. 

[TevinterSupremacist]

I would much rather have a choice to start as a human mage from a noble family , which doesn't get disgraced/destroyed/betrayed/etc and walk the path to power that's set before me than rise up as a slave.

 

That being said, if we have a game in tevinter, I'm much more interested in how you could end up than how you begin. And by that I mean go power-hungry, selfish, slave-owning blood mage magister/archon/black_divine/etc or go home.

[Todrazok]

Hmm, Tevinter would be the perfect setting for bioware to pursue incorporating the blood mage spec properly into the story.

[Celtic Latino]

If the next game takes place in Tevinter I hope Bioware can go back to their roots and let us play a villain.

Playing an evil magister, cliche as it is, sounds delightful.
