If I Mispelled Anything Ignore It Pretty Please Im On A Train Word Vomiting On My Phone - Tumblr Posts

A common complaint ive seen about dragon age inquisition is about its roleplay capacities

Specifically about the way the origins dont really affect the narrative when perhaps they should, and the lack of meaningfull control over your characters story

And while i think thats honestly a good criticism, it might unintentionally be a really good framing for the inquisitor

Because, as has been going around a bit,

the narrative is a bitch.

Your inquisitor isnt lavellan, or cadash or adaar or trevelyan

Your inquisitor is

The inquisitor.

Their identity before is removed from them, they are stripped of their autonomy (because look they ARE captive and they CANNOT refuse their position, not really)

And they are put into the position of an unwilling martyr

An icon of a religion they may or may not even be apart of

A symbol for things they might not believe

Because it doesnt matter if they believe

It doesnt matter who they are

Theyre a symbol

And the people believe

The inquisitors feelings dont matter to the narrative, nor the people

As long as they keep smiling and waving and doing their job
