Hey there, fellow Inquisitors!


With Dragon Age: The Veilguard out now, I thought we would have some fun for those who are jumping back into Inquisition.

  • Appearance: We want to see your Inquisitor in all their glory! Share screenshots showing off their look, from facial features to their gear.
  • Personality and Choices: What's your Inquisitor's personality like? What critical decisions have they made in their journey? Are they a beacon of hope, a ruthless leader, or somewhere in between?
  • Favorite Moments: Share some of the most memorable moments your Inquisitor has experienced. Epic battles, tough choices, heartwarming scenes – we want to hear it all!

Do you remember this? One of the first things I remember dropping was how to create this character!

  • Meet Elara Lavellan. 

    Young elf mage specialized in Rift Magic, always trying to find the least violent solution to any problems. 
    Ready for a laugh with every occasion and many times getting in trouble by hanging with Sera which in time becomes more than a friend. Although she present herself as happy-go-lucky, she will evaluate each situation to the full weight and choose what is best for individuals over groups. Inquisition become easily her family and she won’t sacrifice any one for the sake of politics or military advantage. Supports mages freedom, protect the clan, refuse to sacrifice the chargers, support Leliana as candidate for Divine and as she believe to be part of Maker’s plan. 
    Elara cherish every moment of the journey, fascinated by Cole’s nature, Solas’ knowledge, Bull’s loyalty and strength (and his sense of humour), Varric flair for dramatic. The most cruel actions are to bring Sera to Redcliff negotiations and later, dropping her in the fade.

    Awesome idea to showcase our Inquisitors—creating them is one of my favorite parts of Dragon Age: Inquisition! Here’s my contribution:

    Character Name and Background

    Name: Kaelyn Lavellan
    Race/Class: Dalish Elf, Dual-Wield Rogue
    Backstory: A scout and hunter from a remote Dalish clan who harbored a deep curiosity about the ancient Elves. Kaelyn’s connection to the Fade was seen as both a blessing and a curse within her clan, which made her hesitant to trust humans but curious about the larger world.

    Appearance

    Kaelyn has auburn hair in a braided crown, pale markings of her clan's vallaslin, and piercing green eyes. She often wears sleek, dark leather armor with glowing glyphs, perfectly suited for quick, shadowy strikes.

    Personality and Choices

    She’s pragmatic but compassionate, striving to protect the vulnerable while keeping her clan’s survival close to her heart. Kaelyn leaned toward mending relations with the Qunari but wasn’t afraid to draw the line when the Inquisition’s goals conflicted with her principles.

    • Major Choice: Saved the mages at Redcliffe but negotiated for their independence. Sided with Briala in Halamshiral, viewing her as a kindred spirit.

    Favorite Moments

    • Facing the Nightmare in the Fade, showcasing Kaelyn’s inner strength.
    • That heartfelt moment where Solas teaches her about ancient elven culture—followed by bittersweet tension as she confronts his secrets.
    • Leading the final charge against Corypheus with her dual daggers glowing.

    How about everyone else? Who’s leading your Inquisition? Would love to see how unique and creative we all get with our heroes.

  • Inquisitor Maxell Trevelyan. Warrior class, I love playing warriors in most games. Hack and slash, or punchy combat is my jam. Backstory is that he's from the noble house that is traditionally faithful to the Andrastian religion, and he did not deviate from that faith throughout the events of the game. He was a knight before becoming Herald and leader of the Inquisition.

    Personality wise I went for blunt and honest in most of the dialogues, sometimes diplomatic, but most of time it was solve the problem with the hardest hammer, or the sharpest sword :D I decided to support Celene to end the civil war in Orleas because I thought (or my inquisitor thought) that protecting her and keeping her as Emperor would be more stable for the Empire.

    Another decision I remember is banning the spirit boy from Skyhold (I don't remember his name)....and Solas having a real problem with that decision. My inquisitor is uncompromising as far as trusting spirits and demons. His relationship with Solas was complicated, but always full of admiration. 

    Also the Siege of Adamant Fortress was one of my favorite parts of them game. 

    Romanced Josephine. Loved Cassandra too though 😅

     

    .....and yes, as far that character image, I do remember that, people were trying to make their best Daenerys Targaryen 😄

    Oh yeah? Link it! I watch these all the time when I'm playing through quests just in case I miss a quote or an object I don't want to go back and find!

    There's a video on Youtube for all the banter...it's rather long. Cole and Iron Bull are my favorite. 😁

    sundance31us Party banter is great! I mix them all the time just to hear their comments with each other. Sorry to hear you ran into an issue like that, I hope that doesn't happen again! It is such a fun game to play, too, and running into bugs that stop you from progressing is super frustrating, for sure.

    Name: Galen
    Race: Dalish Elf Male
    Class: Mage
    Personality: Diplomatic
    Sided With: Played both, but I think the last playthough was Templars.

    Divine: Cassandra
    Fade: Hawke

    Party Banter
    Meeting the former Inquisitor
    Going forward in time.
    Holding court at Skyhold.
    Exploring the maps

    Favorite Mount: None, party banter was more important.

    I've played though a few times, but not since 2021. Encountered a bug while searching for the fomer Inquisitor that cased a CTD if I tried to leave the area and simply stopped playing. 🙁

  • I've played through this game many times, so it's hard to pick a favourite Inquisitor, but here's a compilation of what I consider my canon choices:

    Inquisitor
    Lady Trevelyan
    Voiced by Alix Wilton Regan (though all the actors are great)
    No race preference
    Rogue archer

    Personality
    Diplomatic
    Friendly with companions
    Supported mage freedom
    Not Andrastian
    Did not believe to be Andraste's chosen

    Choices
    Sided with the Templars
    Allowed Lord Woolsley to return to Jimmy
    Decided Druffy can find its own way home
    Let the Warden fight the nightmare demon
    Exiled the Grey Wardens
    Doesn't much care about who rules Orlais
    Did not drink from the Well
    Judged prisoners firmly, but avoided execution
    Disbanded the Inquisition
    Vowed to save Solas from himself

    Companions
    Romanced Sera
    Friends with Solas
    Refused to do Vivienne's personal quest
    Supported Leliana as Divine
    Freed Rainier but did not allow him to join the Wardens

    ----

    I'm currently on a new run with a mage Lord Trevelyan.
