#sorry trying to brainstorm the fundamental reason why the inquisitor doesnt work as a protagonist for me

[commanderofthegrey]

even ignoring the issues with making an 'inquisition' a good thing, the thing is i just dont think making a character like the herald of andraste, who by their nature is going to massively and permanently affect the religious landscape (and in a setting like this in particular the 'religious landscape' is everything) as what is essentially a prophet of the setting's dominant religion, a protagonist is a good idea bc they were never going to be able to properly work all those variations into the world unless it was the final game. because limiting or not showing that impact is going to make the herald feel like a lacking protagonist and/or the world feel... empty (which. well...)

it would be like playing the divine for one full game. they just genuinely CANNOT address all that would realistically come about of these things while still respecting the player or the world

the herald/inquisitor as an npc wouldve rocked though could you imagine?
