Also, people pointing out that line, yea sorry but thats just plain realistic. No matter how brave someone is, staring down a dragon and whatever the **** Cornflakes is... yea not everyone's just going to pop into badass hero mode then when you're just starting off. It just makes the end defeat of him better, and its sorely needed when there's almost no buildup to that end game fight.

[Hazegurl]

Lol apparently you did or you're overthinking it. The only time I ever felt like I was a wuss a bit was when staring down Cornflakes and his dragon the first time, which I liked, because this is a ****** original magister and a possible archdemon, and I'm just some guy with a thing on my hand I don't understand (plus background I won't bore you with). But I grabbed my balls and did what I had to do, then took out his entire force myself, and lived.

 

Meh, opinions opinions. All I know is I felt like my Inquisitor was more badass than both the warden and Hawke. Just goes to show how different people perceive things in many many different ways.

No. I'm not expecting badass hero mode. I was expecting more emotion behind that line instead I get monotone stuttering. And all Quizzy's win the day during that scene. It doesn't make him interesting nor exciting. 

 

But I agree that we're all just walking away with our own perceptions of the characters.  I felt like my two handed Warden was a Juggernaut of destruction. Hawke was a free spirit who will open a can of whoop ass in a minute if he has to but would rather not. The Quizzy is, I guess I would say serene. Which isn't too bad. But I consider him the weakest Bioware hero.

 

*I'm not talking about pure fighting but as a character.  Fighting, I think my Quizzy would win due to the anchor.

[Colonelkillabee]

I can concede on most of what you said, but come on, monotone? I guess I just don't get the complaint. All Shepards win the day too, they're still interesting.

 

Bah, no matter. Sometimes you just can't explain to someone else why you did or didn't like something, especially when we're both convinced of our versions.

It makes sense why they stutter and hesitate: Did everyone forget how the Warden reacted when they got to the top of Fort Drakon? The entire party was visibly hesitant to fight the Archdemon. Remember that Corypheus and the Archdemon are the closest things you get to the devil in these games: Even a hardened soldier is going to flinch and likely run when faced with the closest equivalent to Satan in the DA universe. Any other time they fight they never showed fear whether it be other dragons, Samson, Venatori, Red Templars, Imshael etc etc.

Which is why I roll my Inquisitors as quiet unassuming types that wind up holding all the cards at the end of the day anyway.

lol! I agree, my Warden was like "F*ck this! Let somebody else do it!" Him (the IQ) stuttering isn't a major problem for me during that scene, it's just one of many stuttering and hesitating scenes the IQ has in the game and I can concede that it is natural when meeting Cory for the first time.

 

What I don't get is him hesitating in Hushed Whispers to the point where Dorian has to cast the spell to send them back AND stop to corral the IQ back in line. When firing Sera (I...I just want to say, Sera that you don't fit the Inquisition...), or when dealing a select few of ******* companions (Viv moving furniture), et al.  You almost either have to rpg as not caring or be sneaky and wait for openings to handle them.  Don't trust IB? Just threaten him with something someone else would do to him, decide you don't trust him later on? Don't just get rid of him wait until you can spare the Chargers to sever his connection the Qun. Playing a sneaky subtle IQ works with what is given to us.

That's usually the headcanon I have for my IQ. Which is what makes me like him but eventually I want to try something else and it's hard to do without blocking out his behavior and metagaming.

 

 

My Inquisitor is only interesting because of what other people see in him.. when he doesn't exactly see it himself (I especially like playing a mage who's been a bit kept down by everything told to him in life...there's almost a little self-hate here. So this becomes a whole new experience for him). There's no standout badassery though, you're right. Whatever personality I find is subtle, read between the lines.

Pretty much. The IQ is propped up big time by everyone around him and I guess that is supposed to make him interesting.  This was discussed in this thread:

 

http://forum.bioware...r-interesting/

 

I do like the self deprecating mage idea.  I usually play my Mage as glad to be out of the Circle but realizes that if he makes the wrong moves he could wind up back in one or worse so he remains low key while pulling as many strings as he can to make sure this whole stupid "Herald of Andraste" thing work out with him wielding as much power as he wants in the end.

[KainD]

Depends on the Inquisitor, bro. Mine certainly didn't feel underwhelming.

Some fit the role better than others.

There is no "you're" Inquisitor, there is just one.

[Colonelkillabee]

There is no "you're" Inquisitor

You're right.

 

But there is "Your Inquisitor"

[errantknight]

If you make your Inquisitor an emotionless, heartless, careless douche-bag, then it works.

If you make your inquisitior a caring person with strong feelings about being called the herald and his role in the inquisition, it also works. And I see the options to play otherwise. I feel more for the inquisitor than I did for Hawke, in terms of feeling like I could make him my own. Don't get me wrong, I liked Hawke, but he was like Sheppard--a preexisting character that I could manipulate into makeing the choices I chose. The inquisitor has more room to create my own character who feels unique.

[Kinsz]

To be fair Hawke's reaction to Cory the first time he met him was along the line of " Hahaha i'm so gonna destroy you " while the Inquisitor's reaction was " holy **** where do i hide " granted he had a dragon with him when he faced the Quizzy.

 

Also when Cory said he came for the Anchor , one of your reply options was " Take it i never wanted this " , i was like seriously Bioware ? really?

That and he's the champion when he fights Cornflakes and is already proven. Well, he can be anyway. And the possibility of you dying regardless of if you beat him was high.

Well he was bad ass when confronting the Arishok too , that was before he was the champion, i dont think the Quizzy is as wussy as the OP claims but Hawke sure seemed more courageous.

But then compare him to us when we're literally shoving Cornflakes' insides through his butthole and through the fade...

 

We win.

[DarthEmpress]

I really want to learn more about my Inquisitor.  I feel her story isn't over and it would be nice to have some enhancements to her story via DLC, like the chance to meet her clan and learn about her younger life.  I think that origin connection is something sorely missing in this game.  One reason why I have my Lavellan romance Solas is because her origin is focused on more than it would be had she romanced another character, and I like that.

 

Hawke's origin was well defined and allowed you to connect with them, same with the Warden.  So I think the Inquisitor needs that too.

Yea i concede that was pretty awesome , " you wanted in the fade ? uh ****** ?"

[KainD]

You're right.

Holy sh*t, I finally did it, the famous grammar nazi topic, never thought I'd mix the two lol.

Anyway there is no "your Inquisitor".

Sorry I had to take that lol I normally don't correct grammar but it was too funny not to.

 

Also, I disagree. I've seen a lot of quizzies and the way they look, the voice, the dialogue option, it all really makes them sell things differently than others. Like that badass western approach moment with the wardens. Not always so badass, lol.

[ctd757]

I feel like the Inquisitor is just handling stuff because everyone experts him too. It's seems every origin besides the human would lead me to not care at all.

[Bob Walker]

When facing Corypheus for the fist time, the protagonist wasn't even the Inquisitor yet. He/she was only one more person in the organization, almost a nobody (only being somewhat special because of the anchor). But in the end, he/she got the job done.

 

To me, the episode serves to develop the protagonist from a hesitant hero (and a normal human being with fears and uncertainties) to a full fledge leader and competent diplomat.

 

And the Warden is fantastic but he is not the Chuck Norris of Thedas, as some people seem to consider him to be!

[Colonelkillabee]

We were basically Hercules just before he defeated the Hydra.

[ctd757]

The Warden is Bruce Lee of Thedas

And the Inquisitor is Jesus. Jesus always wins.
