I'll get right to it. This will be short.

 

A possible reason why we don't get a picture of the inquisitor is because it was done on purpose so that it doesn't make it impossible for people to head cannon why the inquisitors icon looks different from the previous game. This would mean that the hand is coming back in DA4, since the whole reason why the hand is in the first story of the inquisition is so it can be in the second without completely messing up everything and making it impossible to head cannon a new or old inquisitor. The second option is because there will be a new icon to demonstrate the change to the Inquisitor. So it is one of two options I can see: 1) CC - Nuff said OR 2) Quizzy's change to his hand is identified and a new icon is there to demonstrate the change OR 3) Both. In any case this would mean the Inquisitor is definitely coming back as the main protagonist in DA4.

 

Thoughts?

I suppose one reason is that the marked hand is the defining attribute of all Inquisitor types, but I'm guessing the biggest reason is that the party icons are not thumbnails of the characters' actual faces like it was in previous games. It's a more stylized representation of it, akin to the tarot cards. You can't really do that properly for a face you customized yourself.

So you think it would be too difficult for BW to do that kind of stylized portrait for your character? They did it fine in DA:O, what would be the reason for a less personalized portrait? I'm not saying what I suggest HAS to be the reason, but it could be.

The stylised portraits were drawn by the artists in DA:I. In DA:O the portrait was just the head shot of the character which you customised in the character creator which in DA:I is different.

So your saying they did it for art sake? I was really hoping there would be more of a reason than that I guess.

No the only reason was a design decision.

[vertigomez]

I think the better question is what kind of portraits are they going to use in the next game? They keep changing 'em.

Those are your thoughts?

You're Reaching. Super Hard.  That's my thoughts.

 

 

 

also Kaiser Shep is right. They aren't using still shots of the characters for icons, so they needed a icon for the Inquisitor that was universal.

I'm not sure why there would need to be more to it than that. That they're actually made by the artists should be reason enough. Also, it's worth noting that the thumbnails are dynamic, as in they will switch depending on health (black eyes and bloody lips, etc.). The only way to have our more personalized thumbnail is to have it be the face generated by the CC with different color backgrounds.

Personal headcanon; my Inquisitor was facepalming hard, they accidentally opened a tear in the Veil while posing for the tarot card.

Pffffft! Just slap some intragram filters on it, soon enough you'll have the flat, lifeless image that all instagra I mean.... tarot cards... have.

Besides the actual reason of the art design, I like to think its because your story and adventuring is over once your arm is gone. Like you don't need the icon anymore

[straykat]

They had an Inquisition icon in beta versions. Why they changed it, I don't know. It sucks though.

[caradoc2000]

The icon is a representation of the Inquisitor's motto: "Talk to the hand!"
