YGuy, I like your idea. I think that would be a good identity. My only suggestion is that this be set as a "Mystery" origin, where the backstory only says the person was found near one of the Veil tears or something and he/she remembers very little. That way the mystery is revealed as the game goes on.

  +
Since no formal connection with the Chantry needs to be established, I'd say an Antivan Crow origin would be a good one as well. The Inquizition could hire a Crow, believing him or her to be the best spy money can buy. Another option similar to this would be an Orlesian Bard. In these cases, they could pretty much be of any race. [[User:Believe it!|Believe it!]] ([[User talk:Believe it!|talk]]) 17:40, October 2, 2013 (UTC)

::Would have been a good idea, but I don't think that an Antiwan Crow background is viable lore-wise. From what we know from Zevran's tales, one is inducted to the Crows since early childhood and spends the rest of (short) life training and working. In short, the Crows do a good job creating a tool and a living weapon out of their members, but that excludes a developed personality (the Inquisitor) right from the beginning. Zevran might be an exclusion, but two exclusions are a trend already. Too cheesy, if you ask me. [[User:-Algol-|-Algol-]] ([[User talk:-Algol-|talk]]) 22:47, October 3, 2013 (UTC)

Forums: Index > Game DiscussionInquisitor Identity Predictions.
Note: This topic has been unedited for 3761 days. It is considered archived - the discussion is over. Do not continue it unless it really needs a response.

Some of my ideas:

Amell sibling. DA2 indicates somewhere that the Amell in DA:O has at least one sibling. This could be a good mage origin.

Surana. And by this I mean the actual DA:O character of the elf mage origin. This would only be if you didn't play as the Surana character in DA:O. The game seems to suggest that the human mage and the elven mage origins cannot be simultaneous. So maybe an Amell presence in the Lake Calanhad Circle means a Surana is sent to the Circle in Orlais, and vice versa.

Convert from Orzammar. A dwarf origin could be one who met Brother Berkel and shown the Chant of Light. This would make sense with a dwarf acting as Inquisitor. There may also be an option to have that dwarf show emotion based on whether Berkel was persecuted or not. This dwarf could be a Legionnaire Scout, making him or her valued as one more resistant to magic than templars, and this dwarf could even be a Legion of the Dead if the writers play it right.

Alienage elf who has shown much loyalty to the Chantry, even if the elf secretly despises humans. A good possible storyline, especially if the plot involves dealing with elven magic. This elf could also be of a Dalish origin originally.

If there will be a Qunari Inquisitor, then he or she could be Tal'Vashoth. Or if the Qun allows for a Qunari to deceive an enemy and live as they do in order to infiltrate, then someone like Sten might be able to become an Inquisitor depending on how the Inquisition is run. Other than that, it would have to be a Kossith who was separated from the Qunari at a young age and then raised in the Chantry.

Thoughts and comments welcome. Believe it! (talk) 20:53, September 27, 2013 (UTC)

As confirmed by Gaider, the new Inquisition is an institution created outside of the chantry. Thus, there's no need to come up with ways to always make a potential character loyal to the chantry to justify them being an Inquisitor. 213.22.233.94 (talk) 17:01, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

My biggest theory is that the Inquisitor is actually a Fade Spirit that got "injured" in the tear and its coroporealisation and had to seek refuge in the nearly dead body of a nearby dwarf/elf/human/qunari but the trauma of the injuries plus the body possession fractured its sense of self and memories, and the memories of the spirit and the person blended into a new identity that is more the person than the spirit but still gets glimpses of who they truly are in certain events. What kind of spirit you ask? Well I imagine that or whether it is actually a demon, would be shaped by post-facto by the choices you make as a player.

Why would such a person become the inquisitor? Because no one, not even they know they're a spirit in a person's body only that they "survived" a tear in the veil. YGuy (talk) 07:19, October 1, 2013 (UTC)

If DAI will have an abomination as a protagonist, then I'll hate this game. I want my Inquisitor to be a mortal from flesh and bones, with own past and childhood, not memories of a fade spirit.

Do you read? The spirit will be exactly what you want from an elf PC in my theory, it hijacks the memories and identity of the person it possesses and for all intents and purposes, doesn't just pretend to be them, it now thinks it is them and knows their past and dreams as its own. If nothing else it gives an existential question about the races, is a spirit that thinks it is an elf with specific history and life goals and personality, that is trapped in an elf's body not an elf?YGuy (talk) 09:47, October 1, 2013 (UTC)

Since no formal connection with the Chantry needs to be established, I'd say an Antivan Crow origin would be a good one as well. The Inquizition could hire a Crow, believing him or her to be the best spy money can buy. Another option similar to this would be an Orlesian Bard. In these cases, they could pretty much be of any race. Believe it! (talk) 17:40, October 2, 2013 (UTC)

The PC doesn't work for the Inquisition, he/she is the leader. (BTW, I do like the idea of being a assassin since it's my fave specialisation) Welshman15 (talk) 17:47, October 2, 2013 (UTC)
Would have been a good idea, but I don't think that an Antiwan Crow background is viable lore-wise. From what we know from Zevran's tales, one is inducted to the Crows since early childhood and spends the rest of (short) life training and working. In short, the Crows do a good job creating a tool and a living weapon out of their members, but that excludes a developed personality (the Inquisitor) right from the beginning. Zevran might be an exclusion, but two exclusions are a trend already. Too cheesy, if you ask me. -Algol- (talk) 22:47, October 3, 2013 (UTC)

At the end of the prologue, the Inquisitor walks towards the camera, as the first few chords of the Mission: Impossible theme start. They stop, look at the camera and whip off the mask to reveal....The Hero of Ferelden! They wink at the screen and "Did you miss me?" --Madasamadthing (talk) 20:00, October 2, 2013 (UTC)

Really, Dalishfan? Deleting my posts? You go and copypaste it back where it was. Now. -Algol- (talk) 16:00, October 4, 2013 (UTC)
