Yeahhhhhh....

For my Ladies of Magic Team....

Male Warrior Elf who is gay

For my Killer Ladies comitee,

Male Dwarf Rogue who likes the next tough woman

For my Lovely YAY canon!

Female Human Mage (hopefully Human Noble)

Well that's for my canon but... That's just incase I don't get to play as the Inquistor or shite, lol. I'm really fine with really anything that Bioware gives me btw.

A human rogue that's not noble I don't care whatever else they put I just want a blood thirsty human rogue that's poor and steals from people and is young and naive...

I really like Human noble despite what others might think: even though I don't usually play Rogues in general (Skryim was a expetion to that rule; I played a Rogue in that game and I was happy).

Elf Mage - one of ancient elvhen nobles;supremacist family origins. Awakened in a new world, where lesser races dwell.

 

Human Mage - Altus, student to an Archon, groomed to become his replacement. Family with ties with glorious Venatori, zealous hunters and exterminators of all that is tainted by the rotten Lucerni.

When it comes to charactor backgrounds, Dragon Age 4 should return to its roots. Players should start the game from four different origins. Dragon Age: Origins is the main reason why the franchise is popular. BioWare replaced charactor diversity with politically correctness. Instead of getting a dark, gritty, and taboo fantasy, we got a gay pride parade and campy storyline. Where are the species origin stories? Where are the twists of irony? Where are the epic revelations? Where are the blood drinking Wardens? Where are those late night and taboo encounters around a campfire?

Dragon Age: Origins = Legend (1980s Movie)
Dragon Age: Inquisition = Lord of the Rings (Disneyland Style)

BioWare should go back to Dragon Age: Origins, so they can recapture the emotional tones of the franchise. Over the past five to ten years, BioWare has lost their ability to make interesting stories. Dragon Age: Inquisition and Star Wars: The Old Republic have become too dull, realistic (political), and campy.

Dragon Age needs its vampires, dwarves, werewolves, elves, witches, blood drinking rituals, etc...

Dragon Age use to be about the corruption of innocence, deflowering of the cheerleader, dark rituals, and twists of irony. Where did it all go?

Politics, real life and ingame, killed the franchise. Mages vrs. Templars was a too narrow of a focus.

Dumb.

At this point in the game, I want to play the anti-hero. I want two choices. I want to save the world, or tell it to @#$% @#$.

Well in the original design Iron Bull only had one arm, and had a prosthetic arm to fight with, meaning Bioware thinks that kind of thing exists in the setting. There's also a comic, where someone regrows an arm with magic.  

 

Agreed. Missing the arm is just an easy way to reset the player's skill tree in the next game. It doesn't take the Inquisitor out of the plot. If they wanted to do that they would have killed him/her off in Trespasser, or at least have made it clear as crystal that he/she is 100% retired. The arm problem is too easily solved. Get a strap on shield, bayonet or crossbow. Mages don't even need to carry a staff.

 

Trespasser's ending reminded me a lot of the end of the first Mass Effect. Carrying over the Inquisitor would work for me, just as playing Shepard again made sense. However, I do see the appeal of starting over again with a new hero. My Inquisitor has a lot of baggage at this point. Playing her in another game would be heavy on the drama.

 

Hopefully my DA4 character's background will be that she was once the First of Clan Lavellan and the former leader of the Inquisition. If Bioware has other plans, I'd settle for a rogue, escaped elven slave from Tevinter. I'd love to play a city elf again. They could keep us all happy with dual protagonists. Jus' sayin'.

They brought race selection back for DAI and gave different backgrounds for those races. Okay, they weren't playable backgrounds, but I'll take what I can get.

 

Where are the twists of irony? Where are the epic revelations?

 

Try playing DAI as an Elf. If the Temple of Mythal and Trespasser revelations about elves aren't ironic or epic enough for you (especially if you play a female elf who romances Solas), then there's no pleasing you.

 

Dragon Age use to be about the corruption of innocence, deflowering of the cheerleader, dark rituals, and twists of irony. Where did it all go?

 

Unless you played the Human Noble, in which case you got the world handed to you on a silver platter. Seriously, everyone worshiped the ground you walked on at the beginning, then by the end you alone got to to avenge your family, reclaim your birthright, marry the King/Queen, have a fairy tale wedding and live happily-ever-after.

 

Every other origin just got spit in the face. (Oh, you're an elf who wants to help other elves? Too bad! Humans still treat your people like sh!t. Oh, you're a mage who wants to help other mages? Too bad! The mage/Templar War breaks out anyway. Oh, you were first in line for the Orzammar throne until you were betrayed and robbed of your birthright by someone close to you like the Human Noble? Too bad! We'll give Mary Sue Cousland back everything s/he lost and then some, but YOU never gain back what you lost. Ha ha! Sucks to be you!)

I agree that the Mage/Templar War was WAY too narrow a focus for DA2, but it's gotten better in DAI. Thanks to the DLC, now they're starting to expand on not just the elves' but the dwarves' and Qunari's place and involvement in the world.

 

I hope they build on the momentum we got with DAI and start expanding on other racial and cultural involvement and world revelations, not just fall back on yet more Andrastian human nobles and Chantry human politics and Circle human mages and Templars.
