So, I was thinking about making another fun thread. This time, instead of joking about the forums, I was thinking about joking about the plot and characters of Inquisition. The idea is to say how Inquisition is a rip off of some other story, with some loose connections to back up your claim.

 

I'll start.

 

Inquisition is a total rip off of Farscape.

 

Person given powerful magic/knowledge from an ancient source - Inquisitor is Crichton.

 

A large organization bent on restoring or maintaining order, even when it includes force - Chantry are Peacekeepers.

 

A soldier dedicated to the cause of the organization even if she technically cut ties with it, also desires love beneath her initially hard, warrior shell - Cassandra is Aeryn.

 

Crazy guy who is about bringing mercy and sending people over to the "other realm" - Cole is Stark.

 

Short person with connections and money and noble blood - Varric is Rygel (I did say this was a joke thread...)

 

Preachy woman who is around a lot in the beginning but becomes unimportant later - Giselle is Zhaan.

 

Proud warrior who loves to party and love - Iron Bull is D'Argo

 

Group that wants to completely dominate all life - Cory's group are the Scarrans. (Qunari are Scarrans after Inquisition)

 

Person with connections to dominating group, who is actually a traitor to all in order to help his/her People - Solas is Sikozu

 

Everyone gets to know or hear about the hero due to their unique gift. People may want to kill the hero for the gift. Hero eventually learns how to use the gift and uses it as a weapon by the end. Then the hero loses the gift in the epilogue.

 

Just for kicks I'll just say that Sera is Chiana and Dorian is Crais.

 

 

So, what kind of movie, show, cartoon, or whatever would you randomly claim Inquisition is a rip off of with some minor connections presented as "proof"?

[Mlady]

Eh... nothing HUGE comes to mind, but for me, I always found the Golden City tainted Black when evil entered it reminded me strongly of Zelda. Ganon tainted the Golden Land into the Dark World when he touched the Triforce (power of the Gods) with a corrupted heart.

[Beren Von Ostwick]

Personally, I think Morrigan would make a better Aeryn.

[Al Foley]

I love this idea.  Will have to think of my own.

I would pay for Varric to say "I am nobody's puppet!"  Just once.  

 

No, no, no Iron Bull is Crais.  Think about it.  

 

I am tempted to do an SG-1 comparison but I have to work on it.  

[LOLandStuff]

[leaguer of one]

No.

 

1. Crition was never put at the head of an organization. He just became an outlaw.

 

2.No living ship.

 

3. No galactic cold war.

 

4.No clones.

 

5.The bad guy stayed the bad guy in dai.(though they do look the same.)

 

 

6. No Harvey.

 

7.Crition was given knowledge not power. The quis was given power not knowledge.

 

8. Farscape did not have the real villain by your side the whole time.

 

9. And the did not try to bring back the galexy into order.

[Al Foley]

That's what DA needs, a Harvey.  

[leaguer of one]

Party Harvey.

[DeathScepter]

i always has been a fan of both Scorpius and Harvey........

[Daerog]

Eh, they are just supposed to be loose connections. Love the Farscape posts, though.

 

Here's another one for fun.

 

Inquisition is a rip off of PowerPuff Girls.

 

The Professor started it all, so Solas is the Professor.

 

Corypheus is Mojo Jojo.

 

The Inquisition is the Girls, with the three girls being the three branches.

- Josie is Bubbles. She's the more emotional of the three and the one brought closer to tears due to frustration.

- Cullen is Blossom. Tries to be the leader of the group and is the tactician.

- Leliana is Buttercup. Willing to fight dirty and acts tough even though she can be as adorable/adorkable/playful as the others.

 

 

 

I'll give a Like if someone can come up with connections and reasons why Inquisition is a ripoff of the show Friends.

[SicSemper T Rex]

Inquisition is a total rip off of: Captain America: The First Avenger

 

Corypheus is the Red Skull, both villains deformed in their quest for power, leading cult-like organizations (Hydra = Venatori) attempting world conquest. Both see themselves as gods and are jealous of the heroes as rivals.The Skull has renounced Hitler while Corypheus has renounced Dumat. Both utilize ancient mystical objects in their plans (The Orb = The Tesseract). The Skull is destroyed by the cube as Corypheus is by the Anchor.

 

The Inquisitor is Steve Rogers, both ordinary people who find themselves unexpectedly blessed with unique powers. The Inquisition is the SSR, paramilitary organizations that go into warzones disrupting the villains' plans. Both Steve and the Inquisitor are initially distrusted by a tough commanding soldier (Colonel Philips = Cassandra) but rise up the ranks through their heroism to lead the organization. The game's eclectic companions are the Howling Commandos. Dagna is maybe Howard Stark. Solas is Dr Erskine, who was responsible for both empowering the villain and the hero.

[Daerog]

Great connections to Captain America.

 

If people are stumped on what to do, you can always check out tvtropes.org, look up dragon age inquisition, and that should help finding some tropes that can create connections or whatever to other stories.

[GoldenGail3]

So what? So many games are rip-offs of other games, this really shouldn't surprise anyone.

Of course it shouldn't be a surprise. Nothing is really original in storytelling, it all comes from something. This thread is just for fun.

Are people taking it seriously or just joking in their own dry humor way? Lol I contributed a Zelda one myself.

[GoldenGail3]

Yeah, I was being sarcastic.

[inquartata02]

I see what you did there.

[Daerog]

That's what DA needs, a Harvey.  

 

There is a lot of potential for a "Harvey," with all the possessions that are happening.

[Arshei]

Yeah, and Chaplin is a copy of Hitler.

[Donk]

Yeah, and Chaplin is a copy of Hitler.

 

And Solas is a copy of Osama Bin Laden.. without the beard.

 

[DanAxe]

I got one!!

 

Inquisition is a ripoff of ... REAL LIFE religion!!!

 

I mean think about it.

 

Chantry and Divine. Catholics and Pope.

 

Andraste is Jesus.

Demons are demons.

 

Spirits are angels.

 

Inquisitor is the anti-christ. A savior that turns out to screw the whole world (he did help Solas in his path to try and ruin the world).

 

And the lands!! Oh the lands.... Ferelden is England. Orlais is France. Tevinter is the Roman Empire fo sure.

 

The avvar are the ancient northern europe.

 

Antiva is definetly Spain.

 

Qunari must be the Nazis. The Arishok is Hitler no doubt.

 

Those beyond the sea are the Americans. Watching from far and meddling with thedas wars without anyone knowing about it.

 

And the mages, mages are LGBT crowd, templars are SJWs.

 

Man, what a ripoff of real life....

 

 

 

Now seriously, I love this thread

[Meredydd]

This one is pretty obvious but: The Fade Rifts are a rip off of the Oblivion Gates from the Elder Scrolls series

Just watch the second season of legend of the seeker. Or the book "the stone of sorrows" I believe, I just watched the series.
Also read the whole series to see 1/3 of DA series. The other 2/3 are LOTR and AOIAF. These two they admitedly used as "inspiration", about legend of the seeker I don't know if they admited but it is from where they ripped off the most, THERE ARE RIFTS OPENING, there is a seeker of truth and well, just watch it. It is a rip off.

[BraveVesperia]

Hmm. Okay, DAI is a rip-off of Tales of Vesperia! Because:

 

The main boss isn't the main boss! (Coryfish/???? vs Alexei/Duke)

The true enemy is someone who seemed friendly and sympathetic for a while (???? vs Duke)

We have a traitor in the party (???? vs Raven)

We have a sketchy 'old man' with a mysterious past and hidden name! (Solas/Blackwall vs Raven)

We have a female sword and board user from a royal family, who also loves books! (Cass vs Estelle)

We have a youthful person from a guild-type-thing (Sera vs Karol)

We have someone from the lower classes who takes justice into their own hands and loves to strike back at nobles. (Sera vs Yuri)

We have a significantly under-dressed person who loves fighting with a big weapon (Iron Bull vs Judith)

We have a mage nerd (Dorian/Solas vs Rita)

Weird crystals and shizz that make people crazy (Red lyrium vs Aer springs)

Elfy people are revealed to be reponsible for something important in the story's history (ancient elves vs krityans)

Some stuff around succession and rulership. (Celene/Briala/Gaspard vs Ioder/Estelle)

The protag gets called out for taking matters into their own hands all the time. (Inquisitor vs Yuri)

A pretty woman is the best at cards (Josephine vs Judith)

Banters are just like skits but without the faces.

There are companions.

Four people in the party.

There's a spa day.

Um. There's some form of crafting?

 

It's practically the same game, I tell you!
