I know 2H is the preferred DPS warrior spec, but I've always been much more a fan of sword and shield warriors in RPGs. Now, my Herald is shaping up to be relatively clueless (at first), and I see her being awkward in a leadership role for a good bit of the story. Head canon FTW! She'll be insecure in her right to lead, unsure of the whole Herald of Andraste thing, and not at all sure she's got what it takes.
That out of the way, I like to build as much for RP purposes as for game mechanics, but since this is my first playthrough as a warrior (didn't quite finish the game as a rogue) I'm kinda curious as to what people think.
First of all, none of the specializations really "fit" this character mold I have in my head. Templar is out, 'cause to hell with lyrium, Champion feels like a title she would be uncomfortable with, and Reaver is way too aggressive and bloodthirsty (thematically, at least). Since I'm leaning more towards DPS, with some tanking ability, since I plan to be the only warrior in the party, Reaver seems like the best fit...but I don't know how to blend that in with my RP ideals. Champion would suit her a little more, RP-wise, as maybe a step towards becoming more comfortable in being the leader of the Inquisition, but doesn't really have much to help in the DPS role.
Templar, skill wise, would be the best fit, but absolutely is out for RP and thematic reasons.
So what would you advise? Would being a DPS W&S Champion be anything more than a gimped warrior? Would it be feasible to have no specialization at all? Or is there a way to make a Reaver fit into the character mold I've got going?
Thanks for any tips/advice/criticisms in advance.
