Dragon Age: Inquisition has received quite a few different details in recent weeks, starting with an October release date, to lots of info about its gameplay, its companions, and how players can shape the story using their different actions.
BioWare has prided itself with the ability to listen to fan feedback, and it's certainly showing with Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Now, Lead Writer David Gaider has talked to Polygon about the actual protagonist, the Inquisitor, who emerges as the only survivor of a cataclysmic explosion that wipes out many Templar and Mage leaders at a peace summit.
The Inquisitor is the only survivor and wields the ability to close Fade portals that keep spawning monsters around the fictional world of Thedas.
"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," Laidlaw said. "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."
"After the big explosion, the heads of the factions in the civil war are killed and so the Inquisition moves in to fill the gap. Once you come out of the Fade, you show yourself to be a leader. Someone has to take control and the power of the Inquisition gives you the freedom to take action."
Besides these details about the protagonist, EA has also updated the Dragon Age: Inquisition listing on its Origin service, confirming that the title will be available as a standard and a Digital Deluxe version.
