So Laidlaw said that the citizens of Thedas will think :"There's an interesting undertone here of people in the world believing that you have been sent as a leader by the maker of the universe," explained creative director Mike Laidlaw, in an interview with Polygon. "As a player, I have the option of saying, 'Oh yeah, I'm the chosen one' or asking what the hell they are talking about. It's up to the player.""

hahahaha, this is brilliant! :D that fact alone makes it worth it for me to play the game twice.

- Im gonna make them think that I'm the next big thing since Andraste XD. But I'm guessing they did say they look at different races differently, so an Elf as being a chosen one would be pretty ironic.Lazare326 (talk) 11:52, April 23, 2014 (UTC)
- OH MY GOD! that would be awesome! imagine if Jesus came back today, holy light descended from Heaven, and he was the weirdest looking black dude :D and all those religious types in the vaitcan and the United States lose their minds and go into denial :D that would be hilarious! you should totally do that!Kaspar Sinclair (talk) 11:56, April 23, 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, I mean, imagine if Jesus was Middle-Eastern, like all people in that region and time were, and not the aryan white skinned long-blonde haired pretty boy that we've morphed him into over time! ...Oh, wait. 67.61.234.198 (talk) 04:42, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

- Want blown mindes? try a female jesus that would break everyones mindes- not going to sign for fear
- Willem Dafoe played a blonde Jesus in The Last Temptation of Christ. Was actually really good. People protested the hell out of it, but for different reasons. And Kristen Wolf wrote an historical fiction novel called The Way, about Jesus being born a woman instead of a man. Sorry, but not signing either, for reasons of not wanting an Exalted March declared on my flat.

My first Inquisitor is going to be a female no nonsense Qunari, so she's going to totally ignore those expectations and become a wrathful yet benevolent leader. My second a Inquisitor is going yo be a human male, and he's not just going to play up being the chosen one, he's going to believe it himself Ravenfirelight (talk) 22:59, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
My female Qunari Mage really won't care whether she is the chosen one or not. She's use peoples' believe in the chosen one to further her goals and deny it when it causes a bad reputation for the inquisition. She'll be more focused on politics and charming people to really care about a human religion. Then I'll play an elf inquisitor who truly believes she's the chosen one.—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])
Inquisition is an independent, but nothing can be done without money, so how will the inquisition have resources for it's campaigns? I guess they'll start as bandits or mercenaries.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 17:28, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
- Or they've gained mass support from sources such as nations? We don't know enough details to make assumptions based on that. I think that the more bases you hold the more your army builds up, bit like assassins creed with the assassins. Lazare326 (talk) 17:39, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah Drell. The inquistion would obviously have at the very least, limited sponsorship. The information already given states that they're already an organization, albeit a fledgling one. Meaning they have the monetary means to not resort to banditry (unlike the mages and templars), and since they're an independent organisation with it's own goals they won't resort to mercenary work (which is bound by contract to a nation for an agreed upon sum for the agreed upon duration of said contract). They could still interfere with politics and such of other nations, but as an independent organisation, not as a mercenary company. Kaspar Sinclair (talk) 09:21, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
My first Inquisitor is probably gonna be a human male Mage, and his attitude will be like: What the hell are you talking about? He'll be thinking, What. Just. Happened, and, thanking the Maker he wasn't turned to dust. I want him to start off confused, then taking charge and learning to accept the position he's in. Second one will probably be a Qunari warrior who pretty much snorts at everything and everyone. SenjiBen (talk) 00:15, April 28, 2014 (UTC)

I want my Inquisition to be a place were everyone is welcome, it won't matter if your a Mage or a thief my inquisition will accept you. My side in the Mage vs. Templar war is Mage, they need freedom an the same rights as everyone else, the circle would become a college where you could learn not a prison. 64.90.137.2 (talk) 12:40, April 28, 2014 (UTC)

- I never said it was a place on the map, I was a little unclear in the way I worded it. What I mean is that my inquisition will accept everyone, and the way I stand in the M vs T war is with the mages. The collage would be like any college you can choose to go or not, the Templars would be police and not constantly watch them. They only arrest Mages who use blood magic or have broke the law using magic.64.90.137.2 (talk) 13:07, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
- How could you tell if a mage performed blood magic or not? how would your Templars know unless they constantly watch them? and how would your mages know which one of their fellow mages is capable of using blood magic? I dno't think you thought this out through.. Kaspar Sinclair (talk) 13:17, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
- like today's police, people would report them if seen, or if a person goes missing, and one of the main reasons they turn to blood magic is Templar oppression. Oh and yes i know, what if no one sees it or reports it, not everyone gets caught even in our day in time. Their just like any thief or murderer, some get caught some don't. But I'm sure if their a blood Mage murderer they'll get noticed because you know magic is sorta flashy and noticeable. 64.90.137.2 (talk) 13:27, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
- All people say "Where was police, when my mate or child was murdered or robbed or raped". Police acts only when crime happens, not to prevent this. Even if I am a templar supporter it doesn't mean I don't have plans for reforms. I would give templars magic-resistant armors and weapons and antimagical bombs and liquids like Dispel Grenade, Dispel Coating and Magebane, the wouldn't need to eat lyrium to fight magic and be resistant on it. Philactery could be replaced by mage trained for sensing all mages, to hide sonsors' existence from local mages they would be transfered from other circle.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 13:38, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
- Blood magic would be rare if the Templars weren't so oppressive. There wouldn't be a need for a constant vigil. This is a common example in this discussion but are we suppose to keep everyone in a tower because everyone is a potential murderer. I know mages are dangerous but most can control their powers with proper education, hence why I suggest a school you go too until you are approved as a "safe" Mage. If the Mage is approved but is still questionable they would have checkups to see if they have fallen to blood magic. (these check ups would have a Mage that could detect demons in a person go to the questionable mages house) 64.90.137.2 (talk) 14:09, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
- In Tevinter blood magic is as common as breathing as it was in Ancient times, many believe that Arlathani elves used bm first, Blood Band members like magic and don't use from desperation like Jowan or Orsino, but we don't really know what would be if it was different, so we can't be sure and I wanted to say that police doesn't prevent crimes, only chases for them. Instead of schools for mages, I rather to strip them from magic, but in different way than tranquility. If it was possible, I'd use blood magic to strip mage from magic like Amon did it in Avatar franchise.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 21:02, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
- Only if Dragon Age is an idealistic game and Amon is a hypocrite who hates his fellow bender by stripping their bending by another bending. Just like stripping magic by magic or just lobotomize them like a tranquil but it is very dangerous and many are against it. Your plan is very hypocritical in my opinion.124.106.115.211 (talk) 03:26, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
- Amon's method of removing magic was quite effective, it doesn't matter who he was. My plan isn't hypoctritical, because after I strip mages from magic by blood magic, I'd try to do it myself, if I couldn't then I'd try to use surgery or commit suicide after my mission is fulfilled like ronin after avenging his master has no more reason to live. There are humans hating humans or poeple hating his own kind for flaws, hatred to own kind is no hypocrisy.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 17:53, April 29, 2014 (UTC)

- Wow... that's dumb... "Blood magic would be rare if Templars weren't so oppressive". wow... "rare" is not good enough anyway. Blood magic was "rare" in the Fereldan Circle, and look how well that turned out during the events of Origins. and that school thing is dumb...how is that fair to all the other mage children if one of their fellows suddenly burst into a demon? and what about at home? a mage child isn't like a special needs child. A special needs child wouldn't accidentally make a deal with a demon (events of redcliffe during DA:O) "approved as safe"... Sweet Andraste... The only sensible thing you people have said is about the desire to do research. That's the only thing i approve of. everything else makes me glad the anon isn't in a position of authority.

Depends on my Inquisitor. I have three main inquisitors planned for my first few runs.
My Male Human Warrior will be Noble and Kind to others. I want the people of thedas to think of him as a savior.
My Female Dalish Male will mainly help her companions and the Elves, savior to the Elves, but the bane of the other races. She only cares mainly about helping her people.
My Qunari Inquisitor will be seen as Ruthless as he only cares for himself but only does things to ensure his own survival. Supergodzilla118 (talk) Supergodzilla118 20:38, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
Probably can't do it, but keep my Female Dalish away from the spotlight, and let her spies and merchants do the talking. The Inquisition would work in the shadows, with Skyhold being less a nexus of power and more of an influential center. Quietly shoulder the burdens of the people and stop crises before they start.
Another would be establishing the Inquisition as an influential military power, positioning itself as a sort of swing, capable of changing the outcome of a war. Its endstate would be a secure Thedas that controls the security of trade and balance of national power with its deployable armies. If one faction, be it Ferelden, Orlais or otherwise, has ambitions of conquest, the Inquisition would stand by to defeat it.--Letsseethoselists (talk) 02:19, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
- Like mercenaries then? also sounds a lot like what Big Boss wanted in MGS. I want my Inquisition to be something other than a religious order, I want them to be more involved int he world than the grey wardens... I want them to be something new like some sort of vigilantes.--Dave The Maniac (talk) 14:20, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
- Well it's not mercenaries, that's actually kinda opposite to what he's saying. As mercenaries owe their allegiance to the highest bidder. What he/she is saying above is that it'd maintain peace in times of turmoil. It would bring balance and would prevent conquests and invasions. Almost like the UN in a way but a war like version. Lazare326 (talk) 14:36, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
- Or like US foreign policy if they only stomped out genocides and bad states like North Korea.--Letsseethoselists (talk) 17:13, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, the Inquisition seems more like the original mandate of the United Nations, but where the UN is fundamentally flawed (to the point of almost total impotence) by being a group of states, each with their own conflicting agendas which prevent any real decisive action when faced with conflict, the Inquisition is an independent organization, free of any state, religion, race, or politics, and not hampered by recognizing the sovereign authority of such. A bit like the MSF from Metal Gear somebody mentioned above, only not for sale. Though a lot of people from all walks of life would be drawn to joining such a group, this is also a phenomenally good way to make a lot of enemies. 20:36, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
