Do enchanted items have any effect on the user? I don't recall anything but raw lyrium being problematic.

Fenris have lyrium infused skin, and he is fine, maybe this is why he brooding so much.

Said it once, say a thousand

Fully functional prothestics shouldn't be in the setting

 

I'm fine with the one that's just a crossbow >.>

[Ryzaki]

If they replace the arm with anything remotely functional, why destroy it to begin with? If they don't, it will beg the question of why magic and engineering can accomplish impressive things elsewhere but not for our character.

 

Well it would be stupid if the anchor was removed with no ill effects I imagine. Plus just because PC gets a replacement arm doesn't mean it'll work as well as the original either.

I believe the lyrium markings still cause him pain

It causes him pain whenever some thing touches them. His brooding is due to constantly being in pain.

Firstly, to the people insisting prosthetics can't be aesthetically pleasing:

Spoiler

Alexander McQueen thinks otherwise

 

These next ones aren't McQueen, but my point still stands.

 

And pretty much this whole site right [here]

 

My Inquisitor is a qunari mage. I would imagine she'd have two (maybe three) prosthetic limbs for different occasions. Perhaps one of hollowed dragon bone carved with designs for her magic to shine through, mostly just used casually. Then she'd probably work closely with Dagna (for magical theory) and Bianca (to help put it all into practice) to create another one for combat purposes that would serve to focus and enhance her magic in much the same way a staff would.

 

My archer Lavellan would just want something functional enough to allow her to use her bow. She wouldn't like a crossbrow, to be quite honest. Enchantments or lyrium would probably do the trick well enough.

 

This...that last one is exactly what my Aia Trevelyn would want that bottom one.  She's a mage.  My Jas (Carta - Jasmine) would want something functional that she could hold a dagger with but she'd also take the last one for ever day.  I love that, very pretty.

Not usually no.  Being an enchanter has the long term survival sane prospects of being a Templar or a Warden but just using them doesn't usually present a significan problem.  But a prosthetic that is actually mentally controlled by the user?  That's not going to turn out well under Thedas rules.  Now something like the Red Jenny crossbow-arm, that would be OK.

Cue every Templar claiming it's Blood Magic.

I don't understand why we don't support each other: I'm really sad for a lot Solas Romance-friends who are really dissapointed now (NOT ALL! of course). And I made a few thoughts about how it could be possible to make a little ... romantice present to them. To give them a little smile. I don't care about Solas, I never romanced him, I want him to die, but it's not always about me - sometimes we could be a bit more open mindet and try to see the view of other players (and not be so horrible selfish). DAI was a great game - it should be a great game for as many people as possible. And not onyl for "me, me, me, me" ....

It is hardly a secret that I want to brutally murder Solas for dumping me...and now he has taken my arm...I hear Kill Bill music every time I see anything Wolf related...but I have to say, honestly, that the Lavellan/Fen'harel is hands down my favorite romance of any Bioware game I have played. It is so tragic, deep and the Dread Wolf theme as they kissed one last time...Ump. Though they are not technically still together their romance will paint anything Lavellan/Inquisition/Fen'harel related going forward in future games.

 

This romance, and make no mistake it is still a romance, though a tragic one, could end up having more content than any other in the series. Sure, it may not have ended the way some wanted, even myself, but I for one consider it a tier above the other romances. I have said it before that a female Lavellan Inquisitor has the richest story of all potential Inquisitors and the Fen'harel romance just takes it to another level.

I think the inquisitor losing her arm only completes her story. As the Herals of Andraste, she gave Thedas everything she could offer during her time as inquisitor. And losing the arm is both a symbol of her sacrifice, as well as a sign that she has finally paid her due to her destiny and the Maker. I rather like the heart-wrenching feeling that we feel every time we see her missing arm - it reminds us that this is a hero who endured pain and trials on behalf of Thedas, and she gave it all to save it. It makes for a far more heroic picture, seeing the Inquisitor with her arm missing, broken, battered in service of humanity, but still standing. Regardless of what the inquisition has become, I think this is a good conclusion to the inquisitor's story - unlike Hawke, the Inquisitor's career has been one of responsibility, and at the end she can just walk away to do whatever she wants to do. I know at the end cutscene she's supposed to still be working, but my inquisitor would have retired happily with Cullen, or left to join Solas (she's an elf).

I like this. Where do I sign it?

 

The arm is just a symbol of the price she paid.

 

The Inquisitor has lost... everything. Their previous life, some Dalish lost their entire family in Wycome, their faith... Everything. But, oh, look, they could've fallen in love, I guess. Not... THAT bad? Still worse than the Warden (in some cases, not all).

We didn't get that option, and I'm more than a little angry at that.

I think I know a guy who can help.

[Almostfaceman]

All in all I think Bioware was relatively successful in ending DAI (more so than ME3). But if they show the Inquisitor in future installments, what would be really awesome is if they gave them some badass prosthetic arm. I know about the crossbow arm in the red jenny epilogue which fits the rogue very well, but maybe an indvidual prosthetic for the warriors and mages. Maybe some sort of armor arm laced with lyrium veins on the inside?

An idea I've been playing with is based on the spirit blade (which may only make it useful for mages, but who knows).  The spirit blade involves binding a willing spirit into a hilt, which then responds to the KE's will to manifest the blade.  Why not use the same technique to create a spirit limb?  I imagine it being something that would only manifest when needed in combat.

Ugh, i'd rather have something that's actually useful to them in daily life. A spirit limb that only manifests in combat sound barely more useful than that horrid crossbow to me.

I'm really only concerned with the combat, I think my guys will adjust to regular life.  They still have one hand, and are otherwise very healthy.

There's a pretty big difference between a spirit manifesting a weapon and it manifesting a functional limb, though. A weapon just is, it doesn't do anything. An arm and especially the extremely complex structure of the hand needs to respond to unspoken impulses ... and in combat, it needs to respond FAST. For a spirit to be able to do that, it would probably have a pretty damn close bond with the person it is assisting. I mean, I love the basic idea because my Inquisitor became quite pro-spirits. But if this sort of thing was implemented, I'd want the spirit to be treated as a character in its own right, not just a mute magical gimmick.

It's actually my headcanon that my KE's have a rapport with the blade spirit, although I'm not sure how advanced it's supposed to be.  Still, even Wynne's Faith spirit didn't communicate directly with her, although there was certainly a bond and understanding there, since she could use its abilities (and things that went down in Asunder).  I suppose it depends on the spirit.

It would be cool to have a spirit hand a la KE's spirit blade. 

 

Still though I don't get why some people assume that since the Inquisitor lost an arm it means that he/she is out of the game, so to speak. 

I personally think that a interesting think in the next dragon age game, be a prologue/act 1/Haven section where the Inquisitor searches for some kind of prosthetic, spirit or otherwise. 

 

This is something I posted on another thread, it seems relevant here though:

 

 "If Tevinter can create something like Fenris (who had the touch-of-lyrium-death btw) in the modern weakend decayed Tevinter. You can only wonder what kind of secrets and powerfull stuff found in deepest depths of Minrathous, that can also be made into a prosthetic, could be recovered. Tevinter is an ancient empire, there must have been a magister/archon that made a arm prosthetic out of crazy powerfull lyrium stuff for themselves at some point, most likely several hundreds of magister over the ages have tried, some most likely succeded. This is even more true if you take in to consideration that magister duels are quite common in Minrathous, wouldn't be anything new there if a magister lost a limb or two in a crazy fire explosion and created a magic replacement arm out of lyrium or enchanted armor."

 

Also if people think that decent prosthetics don't fit the dragon age setting since its too high tech. I would say that stuff like the qunari saar-qamek is really weirdly high tech, even more so than decent prosthetics.

[Rappeldrache]

I'm not sad about "Being out of game". For me it's really ok, if the Inquisitor would never fight again, and I have a Shield/One-hand Fighter (female main character).

 

Even if there should be a possibility to regrown the limb (and there is) I would prefer, if she would be still handicapped somehow. That she can't use her forearm like before, because it will enver have the same "power".

 

She should pay a price for "her life".

(Full)Metal arm with lyrium enchantments so that it fires lyrium rays Iron Man style.

 

 

You can tint and add upgrades to it such as modifying aiming mechanism for better accuracy, or install a cooling mechanism so it doesn't overheat and melt your shoulder.

 

Another cool idea would be have it start out as a block of metal that's kept in your pocket, and when the Inquisitor needs it, it flies off Iron Man style and forms your arm.
