Which faction will you choose?

Shadow Dragon human mage. My character is going to continue what Dorian started and change Tevinter for the better.

Being able to make a Qunari Grey Warden would be the perfect chance to recreate an old OC of mine, so I know what I'm doing for this game Not to mention from what I've heard they seem to be the faction for people who know the lore mostly from the games

This might just be the toughest character creation choice ever, but I'm torn between Lords of Fortune and Veiljumpers myself, perhaps slightly more inclined to the latter. Ancient Elven ruins and the Veil have always been super intriguing to me, and a faction that's all about exploring them sounds great.

great video! I'm gonna play as a veil jumper I think!

Thanks for the informative video. My first Rook is either going to be a Mournwatch member or a Shadow Dragon, because, as silly as it sounds, I have already named these rooks, and I've decided how they look and who they are going to romance. Eventually, I will play all the factions, however. They all sound interesting.

Excellent coverage of each faction, not many people talk about Absolution but Lacklon is a worthy mention especially as a potential cameo in the next game :)

This video was really helpful!! Thank you!

one thing to note about Lucanis. I believe his family name is pronounced in italian manner rather than spanish. (For spanish option i believe it would be Dellamuerte of Demuerte) Since Antiva is insipred/resembles the city of Venice in Italy

Once a warden, always a warden

I’m gonna try Antivan Crows, Grey Warden and then Shadow Dragons. For the crows path my personal canon is that Rook came from a noble tevinter family of mages but was kicked out as they weren’t able to use magic. Caught pickpocketing out on the streets they were recruited into the organization for their potential.

I usually play as a Dalish Elf so I probably would choose the Veiljumpers

100% starting as a elf male - antivan crow and romance Lucanis

I am very torn between Veil Jumpers, Shadow Dragons and possibly Lords of Fortune. Veil Jumpers are so very much my alley, but I want something different from my typical elven mage character. Right now, I have this idea for a dwarf Veil Jumper, a Qunari Shadow Dragon and a elven Lord of Fortune lady just living her pirate life (probably escaped from an elvenage for a better life, until everything happened). I really like this idea of a dwarf being interested in the Veil Jumpers, perhaps because they are experiencing some weird stuff happening to them (like being suddenly magic-prone, or something like a Valta case) and just wanting it GONE and being NORMAL again, because dreams are fucking scary how can you live with that stuff? And I just love the paradox of a qunari fighting for freedom in Tevinter.

None of these appeal to me, but I think it will depend on how detailed you can make your backstory beyond the faction. If the Shadow Dragons allow for a Tevinter soldier backstory before joining the Shadow Dragons, then I can get on board with that. Otherwise it will have to be a Mourn Watch soldier. If that doesn't work out, then I might try Shadow Dragon mage, and if not that, then Lords of Fortune assassin perhaps. One thing I will say about the factions though, is that each one seems to accommodate a Hero, Champion, and Inquisitor playthrough. Meaning the former protags can be substituted for the new protag, and their factions line up. Wardens for the Hero, Lords of Fortune for Hawke, and Veil Jumpers for the Inquisitor.

My Rooky,will be a part of the Dark Brotherhood.😊

Qunari Grey warden because i dont think a qunari has ever been a warden.

Shadow Dragons for sure! But I gonna need to make a Veiljumper for my second playthrough too XD

Grey warden : Serious ready to do anything for the greatest good Antiva crown: a little cunning like that it's all just a game Mourn Watch: a little enigmatic maybe I'll be better be a Mage for this faction Lord of fortune: Ambitious for trying to save Thedas and make his own fortune at the same time Shadow of dragon: determinate to help everyone in need Veil jumpers: curious adventures to explore the mystery

I know I will be an elf, but can’t pick between Veil Jumpers and Shadow Dragons 😩 My first Rook will be a lil fangirl of my Inquisitor Lavellan. She just wants mom and dad get back together ya know ☺️

I find myself torn between the Shadow Dragons and the Veil Jumpers. I feel like I'm probably going to pick those two for my first two runs, but I don't know which one I will do first.

I’ve always been fascinated by Nevarra, definitely choosing Mourn Watch first play. 💀

The Crows, Lords of Fortune, and Shadow Dragons sound like my choice! I'm not going to do a Grey Warden because that was a major focus of Origins, and I've already played almost all of those playthroughs.

I'm gonna be an elf (as always of course) and I can't decide between Antivan Crows, Shadow Dragons and Veil Jumpers.

Male Elf Warden who looks like Denji from Chainsaw Man (Or Alphen from Tales of Arise, or Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul), either Warrior=Champion, Mage=Spell Blade or Rogue=Veil Ranger. Romancing Harding Female Dwarf Crow who looks like Sophitia from Soul Calibur (Or Beatrix from Zom 100, or Meru from Legend of Dragoon), Rogue=either Saboteur or Duelist. Romancing Assan Female Human Shadow Dragon who looks like Touka from Tokyo Ghoul (Or Reze from Chainsaw Man, or Shionne from Tales of Arise), Mage=either Evoker or Death Caller. Romancing Lucanis Male Qunari Fortune Lord who looks like Goliath from Gargoyles (Or Kongol from Legend of Dragoon, or, Kratos from God of War) Warrior=either Reaper or Slayer. Romancing Bellara.

I always wanted to rp as a Tevinter templar, bit of a shame we don't have that option. What faction do you think is closest? I'm thinking Shadow Dragons or maybe a Mourn Watch warrior-class, but I would prefer to be a Tevinter native. Guess we'll see when the game comes out.

Going to go for Shadow Dragons at first I think. Originally was thinking about being a Tevinter noble who is born to a noble family but doesen't have magic and then through circumstances ends up going to the Crows, but since BioWare seems to have set last names for each protagonist now was thinking of just keeping him in Tevinter and probably a Crow will be from Antiva like we've already seen with the Shadow Dragon Rook being from Minrathous. So Shadow Dragons it is.

Mourn Watch for me, especially if the game will be out in October. Emmrich/Manfred will be in my party for full spookiness.

Human rogue of lords of fortune, love me some priate rook

I wanna see mage combat soooo bad

Im going to be a qunari mage gray warden

I'm going to play a Shadow Dragon.

I am definitely making a dwarven grey warden

first playthrough probably shadow dragons elf mage, but i do want to do shadow dragons dwarf rogue, shadow dragons elf rogue, grey warden elf mage and veil-jumpers elf mage

Voor mij zijn de Grey Wardens overduidelijk de interessanteste factie want we weten dat de Evanuris heel veel met de Blight te maken hebben; dus hoe gaan de Grey Wardens zich gedragen tegenover hen? Kunnen ze de Grey Wardens controleren door hun verband met de Blight? Ik ben heel erg geïnteresseerd in de oorsprong van de Blight...hopelijk krijgen we antwoorden maar ik ben zeker dat ik met de Grey Wardens begin want met hen gaan zeker sommige van de interessanteste dingen gebeuren.

You have a mascot. Yay 😁

I know others will choose other factions for lore gathering purposes, but..... I'm 100% going Gray Warden. There is currently no other faction that has you DRINK THE BLOOD OF YOUR ENEMIES SO AS TO GAIN THE POWER TO KILL A GOD(S)! That is the most metal thing to do in anything, either in games or IRL ( fun fact, there use to be a unit of US Marines that made new unit members DRINK COBRA BLOOD). I am 100% getting down with the sickness, again! IN WAR, VICTORY IN PEACE, VIGILANCE IN DEATH, SACRIFICE

Going with a Qunnari mage for my first playthough, can't decided on Shadow dragons or Lords of Fortune for my fist pick might even try Veil jumpers.

Are these like new origin options, or how are these going to be implemented?

The warden

I'm disappointed in the fact that you are forced to choose a faction. Sure, pick one later on as you develop your PC, but before? Can you pick one and then ignore what you are supposed to be? Become a Crow and say you've never assassinated anyone?

Ill chosen the one with the heroic brave men and beautiful women. What it doesnt exist. Ill chose the blue haired woke one then. Yep square jawed thick women for me yay
