Was the Dark Ritual that evil?
Depends on your reasoning, I guess. I could argue, that I only did it, so that I could use that god essence myself.
Was the Dark Ritual that evil?
Oh its nothing new at all, but i expect evolution not devolution in a game where our choices are " Suppose to matter". Like killing Leliana doesn't matter in your Da story?, then have bioware just whitewash it out like a shower scene from Dallas.
You mean like the time Bioware tried to make the US stick for Awakenings. The gamer was not suppose to be able to import a warden that did the US and had to us the warden commander? Bioware changed that because of fan outcry on the forums. Posters wanted to used their US warden so Bioware let them? So much for Choices matter.
Majority of people are straight, yet we have homosexual content. Should we follow his logic and cut it out because most people wont play through that content?
Well, I'm not really concerned about the fight for inclusion in media for RL evil people. I'll give you that.
It's just personal preference, you want the option to roleplay evil characters, I rather have options to roleplay other types of personalities. I replay BW games a lot and I never done more than one evil pt for each one, and only because I want to see as much cntent as posible, and even so, there are choices I could never bring myself to make. I definitely don't miss them
funnier than a brit dwarf carta assasssin?
Tbh, the only reason I think the Warden was able to get away with so many 'evil' acts was because of the whole 'we can do whatever we want, so long as it stops the Blight'. The Inquisitor doesn't really have that luxury, since they've got to build up trust/confidence in their new organisation.
Plus, there were operating much more under the radar than the Inquisitor, or even Hawke (who is famous by Act 2).
True, though it would have been nice if we're more private evil or corrupt options. With companions or random npcs to even it out. DA is a world where nobles can kill people in the street and no one can do anything about it. Those with power don't really have to be a "save everyone" type.
And that's good. There should definitely be many mutually exclusive companions.
No It was not good in the eyes of many on the forum. The outcry was intense. Posters and gamers were not happy.
As others have stated, being evil would clash royally with how the entire Inquisition thing. If you just killed every peasent, poor old man, and virgin noble you came across nobody would follow that and the Inquisition would fail.
Now, if you're talking about decisions changing ever so slightly, like leaving BOTH Warden and Hawke behind, and things of that nature where people will never see / know it, then sure! That would work! But being otherwise evil? Not so much.
Don't tell me playing that game wouldn't be fun.
I wouldn't mind playing it, but this is Bioware were talking about. They couldn't be bothred to do small thing like give Ashley any party banter in ME3 and they don't want to do another Awakening type expansion because it's alot of work. The less you expect from them, the more content you'll be with their games imo.

I love to play this way. Am I not allowed to wish for it?
Of course you are, that wasn't my point at all.
I'm only saying I'm happy with the direction DA took.
Qunari mans man?
Theres nowt funnier than a male dwarf riding the charging bull and everyone walking in on the vinegar stroke.
It is perfectly possible to play your character as someone who allows others to believe he/she is the Herald of Andraste and stoke your followers' religious zeal, while they know themselves it's just a sham in order to gather personal power as the head of the inquisition.I want to play an evil, manipulative, power-hungry blood mage. Someone who's only after power, and will do anything to get it. Who's willing to sacrifice anything in that pursuit.
I can't, however, since even the most evil... Is kinda just rude. Such a shame.

The problem is that you get no other personality type than diplomatic.
Good for you that you are getting the character you want to play but I see no reason why others can't express what they would like in hopes that it is included for the next game.

The less you expect from anything, the less dissapointed you'll be, I guess. Doesn't make me want it any less.
For what it's worth I do agree with what you're essentially saying. We do need more PC diversity for DA4 protagonist. The Inquisitor was really bland.

You don't get to cackle maniacally as you do so, but then I don't think that's what being evil is really about.

Oh my, my english must be really awful and I must be sounding really different to what I intended ![]()
I'm not saying anyone should stop asking for anything, I'm just saying I don't miss evil choices, and that I prefer it this way. You had what you wanted in previous games, I got what I wanted in this one (more/less)
Am i suppossed to only participate in this thread if to support the OP or something? Am I being rude for not doing so or what? ![]()
Motivations of your character are always headcanon. They aren't spelt out in the game anywhere. And isn't being a brilliant actor a part of what you asked, a manipulative character?Soooo, I headcanon everything and convince myself that my character is a brilliant actor.

Yeah, mine hardly had any personality. Maybe that's a fault of mine, and not the games, tho.
Nah, compared to Hawke and the Warden, The Inquisitor was a less interesting protagonist. He's more like a plot device and less like a fleshed out character in the narrative.
That's what the devs should be concerned about, because its them that want to broaden the sales.
I honestly have no idea if more evil choices would help them sell better and the truth it's I'm not sure what it has to do with what I was saying. I'm just happier with less extreme options for rolepaying

lol! No you don't have to agree, you're fine and not rude at all, and I hope I'm not coming across as rude. But I'm not understanding what you didn't get from the previous games by BW having "evil" choices.
