#veil jumpers sound really cool they just seem so elf specific

I am growing more and more attached to the idea of playing a Lords of Fortune Toth as my Rook but not knowing how the backstories work is really holding me back.

Maybe as a 2nd playthrough?

I might be going back to my roots and playing a dwarf rogue for my canon Rook.

just noodlin' abt what i'm gonna make my rook w latest faction/class spoilers so it's behind the cut

i'm usually a rogue main, it's always my first choice in any fantasy game, but i watched a video and i am so 👀 about mages with the added ability to melee. specifically spellblade is really interesting me rn that's what i'm leaning towards at this stage

i'm honestly not super pumped about most of the given faction bgs with the exception of mourn watch, which sounds extremely cool but is also very much not my thing. shadow dragons have been the one interesting me since the first like one sentence we got, but i think it's a real shame for the one faction to do with tevinter slavery that rook doesn't seem to have a like, direct connection to that in some way? and especially for non-human races like are they going to give us any reasoning for why a presumably human military family would adopt an elf or qunari? i can work round it but i have things i want to KNOW

like it's bw i never feel beholden to stick to the letter of what they give you if i bring a character to rp (like lmao the one warden i write isn't even a canon origin, my cousland isn't a warden at all), but most of the faction bgs feel similar which doesn't make me super hopeful that there'll be a lot of delving into rook's bg. and race plays a big element in da, it's weird that the bgs are exactly the same, to the point of i believe surnames being faction and not race based, when an elf or a circle mage would have a v different experience to a human warrior.

so probably gonna do either human or elf mage shadow dragon to start. i will probably do a gréta run at some point (human warrior grey warden), but i know i'll want to do a rogue, maybe a veil jumper?
