Worst idea ever?

 

Wasn't it originally Bioware's idea to make Hawke into the Inquisitor?

 

It was their idea to finish an Expansion at least.. Until people threw a fit and started various antics, like threatening Jennifer Hepler with death. I guess DA2 touched people in a naughty place? I don't know.

 

It had some of the story from DAI (like Mythal/Flemeth and the Arbor Wilds), as well as an exalted March and probably Cass in the story. I have no idea about being an Inquisitor though.

 

I just think it's lame that they're the ones with the better personal story, while DAI is like someone out of TES.. a prisoner turned savior in less than an hour. And it's just all over the place, as far their context or story reason for them even mattering to this war. And better yet, the war ends up not mattering anyways. It's just a game more about other lore now... and like, picking flowers and ****.

I'd buy it tbh.

DG talked about how DAI originally had twice the plot points. Think of where it ends: Trespasser. Corypheus was the decoy villain. The whole plot starts to look a lot more like a clever subversion of the chosen one story (like Hawke generally) when you think about it in that way.

You aren't the first to have this idea, but it's still a good idea nonetheless. I have already recreated my first two Heroes in Inquisition. I also had the thought of Inquisition offering New Game + where you could put the Hero or Champion in place of the Inquisitor. It would have been a good way to encourage players to recreate their Heroes for any future appearances in the next games.

Though I'm aware of the improbabilities of something like the OP suggested could happen at this point, it would have been a really good idea if it was created from day 1 in the development process of DA3. One of the biggest holes (and certainly not the only one), I found trying to enjoy playing inquisition is that the name Hawke was written all over the place in the main plot. I felt, way too many times, as if this "blank slate" inquisitor who was turned from a no one to a revered saviour of the world in almost an hour, was cheap writing and was not believable. The war between mages and templars was, for me, a conflict that was a mission for Hawke to solve. Coryphaeus was also Hawke's antagonist and it seems the devs/writers couldn't find a way to make it right with the antagonist when they decided to go with this inquisitor as the pc so they literally turned him into a sort of absent, almost funny cartoonish coyote who permanently fails at every attempt of getting his blighty hands on this roadrunner/inqui to a point where he just stop showing until the very end.

 

As for the implementation of the four different races in DAI, I just would say that I hope that if they decide to keep wasting budget/time resources implementing them in the next game, they find a way to balance that feature with the quality of the story. This in a sense that we have a next game where the execution of the story won't suffer because they had to spend so much time/money making every single bit of the game available for 8 different protagonist (four females/four male).

If i understand correctly, Bioware had an extra year granted by EA to implement these races into a game that, I imagine, was more or less developed. How much great content was probably cut because they didn't have the time/budget to make this already existing parts of the story available to these new protagonist?

The more powerful the HoF is ,the more pwerful Corypheus would have been,since he would have undoubtedly used the Waden to smash Orlais in pieces while using her/him  as a dragon knight for his archdemon.

The knight of nightmare,rise the champion of the Elder One,The dragon knight of corruption,terror of the world.

I can't recreate the Hero of Ferelden with the character creator restriction of DAI (included the mods) since i used the toolset of DAO to made him (and all those mods addiction for the toolset),that not only allow to choose between thousands of features and textures but also allow to make minor changes on a current character during a saved game (pretty much like the mirror of transformation but not practical like it)

Well, I'm glad to know it wasn't just me.

I felt Act I had Hawke written all over it as well.

Mage/Templar conflict with the set up of Cassandra and Varric from 2...it just seemed well...Hawke was supposed to be the Inquisitor, we know that from BioWare themselves.

I wish I could have seen the writing as it originally was, before they dashed it for our somewhat vapid Inquisitor.  I did love the idea of playing different races, and not get blocked into the ME Shepard issues.

As with my fav Fem/Humorous Warrior Board and Sword LI Isabela Hawke, I also have a fav Fem Lavallen Nercomancer Inquisitor LI Sera that I wouldn't trade for the world.  I loved most of my Fem/Hawke's my male Hawke tended to be nice...not so much.  But my Inquisitors (though I did enjoy the game) I hard a time with the human and Quanri (both sexes).  I'm starting my dwarf now, I have high hopes.  I start and end with my favs.  The Inquisitor does lack the rich writing of Hawke and Hawke's companions in DA2.  The world is fab, don't get me wrong.  DA2 was rushed and shows it, but the character development was really there in DA2 including party banter.  Sure there are great lines and characters.  Dorian and Sera are fabulously written archetypes (whether or not they are your cup of tea), but the Inquisitor lacks depth, singularity, and cohesion.

S/he just doesn't quite work fully in RP as much as I wish s/he would.  With all those races, there should just be more dialogue options (even though there was a million recorded words...yeah, I know...it's now quantity, it'a quality).

Truly, I wish they would have stuck to the original script.  Just because DA2 didn't sell well didn't mean Inquisition couldn't have amazing writing playing Hawke as the lead, but we'll never know.

Considering its FemShem there's a strong possibility

BTW Toasted Llama it's scary how well you know my humor from the boards.  A little of column A...a little of column B...

I would like a Bioware game where the backgrounds for the main character are those of the companions.

eg. DAO.

Human Rogue is Leliana, you start as her. You can change up her hair etc, but otherwise you are roleplaying as this mysterious priestess. Your story starts in Lothering where you meet the last surviving Grey Warden who is travelling with a witch and a mabari.

Human Warrior is Alistair, you start in etc. etc. When you get to Lothering you meet Leliana, default appearance, and she can join your party as a companion.

Rinse and repeat.

I think that would be fantastic and I think Bioware, if any company, could pull it off.

Anyway, this concept is not dissimilar to each background in DA4 being that of a past protaganist. So... Thumbs Up! That said, logistically it would probably be hell to do suddenly in a series (using past characters) instead of basing the whole thing to be that way from the start.

[AnimalBoy]

I don't see the big deal over DA2 making it where the main character is human only. I've played a human character in all three games and have  never felt any desire to be anything but human.

[TheExtreamH]

you do understand that 15.00 dollars won't cover the costs of this so called Main game DLC. Not to mention the amount of other lines and coding this would take. If something like this is ever considered for lets say Da4, with the Inquisitor vs new protag as i have put forward number of times. It would have to be planned at the very beginning.

[Tidus]

No..Hawke is a Shemlin.. I prefer a elf.
