My HoF is still banging Lelianna, I'm happy.  Really good long distance longterm lesbian relationships are hard to maintain.  I'm so proud of them, they still hook up according to my DLC.

That is as good as it's going to get for me.

The fact that me HoF is getting laid is fantastic considering the ONLY reason I didn't sacrifice was a brilliant piece of writing on the writer's part of having Morrigan guilt me into how would Leliana feel if I died when I could have lived?  Really?  *shakes tiny fist.  You make me Suspend disbelief just enough to role play so I didn't kill her, but she's still getting some from her lover games later.

Impressive.

Make my whole decision not to go down in a blue of glory worth while.  B/C I really never wanted to do the Fade again in Origins.  Sure did 10 playthrus in 2.  Did exactly 1 in Origins.  Inquisition...still racking them up.  Going back for 2 in Origins.  Don't know if I'll die or not.  Guess it depends on who I'm dating.

Stupid feeling manipulators.  (Clapping: damn you guys are good...stupid game..smirks...really good.)  Sure it really only works full force the first time, but it does work the first time!

Eh-hem.

HoF, to you still getting laid!  TY BioWare for rewarding my toon for not offing herself for a relationship...that she still has...with a redheaded hottie;)

The Inquisitor is a very bad idea for the protagonist of the next game especially since it's Solas, because you just had a infiltrator in your ranks who got to know you pretty well, even intimately in some cases, and now he's the villain. Thing is, it wasn't reciprocal, we don't know how much of what he showed was honestly him, and as he simply advised quietly we have no idea of his resources, intended tactics, or even how he truly thinks. All things he knows about you.

Unless you aren't the Inquisitor. Unless you happen to be an x factor which gets caught up in events... Like practically every PC in the series.

At no point do I suggest the inquisitor be the protagonist in the next game.so I'm not sure where that comes from?. In this hypothetical scenario what is discussed is having brief control of a prior player character for a portion of the game. As I say in similar vein to Ciri in the witcher. Just provides an opportunity for a different perspective. Of the 3 player characters the only 2 that bioware would use are The Inquisitor and Hawke. I use The Inquisitor solely because Hawke briefly popped up in cameo already.

Morrigan was right, though. Leliana was much happier that the Warden did the ritual. She knew about Kieran's true nature in DAI and said she felt as though she owed him.

It seems I misread, I apologize. There has been a lot of "next game must be the Inquisitor" that I knee jerked.

 

My biggest problem with the two protagonist control system is that I can't see it being done well in a game without preset characters. It works in the Witcher because Geralt and Ciri are establish separate from the player. You don't have to deal with the same variables as you would with DA and multiple races/classes/genders and how the people dealing with the PCs react to them.

 

Even with using what you posit with the Inquisitor as something of a secondary role PC like Ciri, there's the question of four races, three classes and two genders all of which might evoke different reactions.

 

They could kind of get away with it with Hawke considering s/he was limited to human, but still classes and genders to deal with, plus look at how unhappy people were about not having details like Blood Mage Hawke in game.

 

The question becomes, in my mind, is it worth investing the resources to cover all of the iterations of a previously used PC who is going to be played in a secondary role?

 

I'll admit I'm somewhat against the idea even for two new PCs in DA4 (which I've seen batted around), if only because I think dividing the focus wouldn't be beneficial. And again, it's a matter of resources. Do they do the multiple protagonist scheme and limit who they are (ala Hawke, which will make people scream), or do they do what they did with Inquisition and see of the players are willing to potentially accept even less development in backstory because resources just make it impossible to do an immersive origin like opening with 2 PCs who can be one of 4 races, 3 classes and male or female.

 

If I'm doing the math right, under this assumption, playing two human male PCs would net six different iterations: Fighter-Fighter, Rogue-Rogue-, Mage-Mage, Fighter-Rogue, Fighter-Mage, Rogue-Mage for an origin story, and that assumes that the PCs would know each other to start with.

 

It might be interesting in say a DLC,  but the idea of that kind of control setup in a DA game, with all the variables, gives me a headache and makes me worried about narrative focus. Who knows, though, they might figure out a way to do it and prove me wrong.
