And his cousin, the Limerick Chest. You open it and instead of treasure it recites a limerick. It seems I've been found by Qunari, And towards my limericks they've become quite wary, My situation is dire, Hey! Watch where you're putting that wire! mmmrfrrrghfrmmrrrggppphhhffvvbrrrmmrrrfghhh In the palace of Empress Celene, The parties, I've heard, are obscene. Be you man, elf or dwarf, You may get your rocks orf, But you never again will feel clean.

Jaymie Clayton as Maeveris Tilani Krem as a companion/bi LI The ability to play as literally anything other than a human noble. I'd love a chasind or avaar origin, or just be from somewhere OTHER than Ferelden or the Marches On that note, let us play our origins - or at least an intro scene. Inquisition lacked that personalised touch. If we had known or talked to people at the temple of sacred ashes I feel like it would have had a bigger impact. The ability to actually STATE that our characters are lgbt in response to a conversation. When Krem says he's trans in inquisition it would have been nice to have been able to go "me too." Or to Dorian. Or Sera. Not having it doesn't stop you from playing a character who IS gay/trans/lesbian/bi/etc but it would be nice to be able to state that in game. A focus on discovering information regarding Solas and forgotten history. LET ME CLIMB THINGS DAMNIT Skill checks like in origins. Also the ability to designate your skill points. Let mages use weapons again. BLOOD MAGIC Also, let our actions have consequences. High stakes.
EDIT: race based specs as well as class based specs. also, no ultimates. they kinda sucked in inquisition.

How about a statuette of the lyrium idol? I'd splurge on the "ultimate edition" or whatever, if it included something like that.

Jaymie Clayton as Maeveris Tilani I used to think so, but now I'm not so sure. Has anyone seen Clayton in a role where she pulled off a British accent, evidence that she could successfully channel Mae West, or generally play someone markedly different from herself? Would she have any issues with some of Maevaris' more "problematic" aspects; i.e., owning slaves, ruthless political maneuvering and assassinations, and/or being somewhat patronizing to non mages as if they were handicapped and needed protection*? I'm not being snarky or judgemental, I'm genuinely asking. If anyone does know one way or the other, please share.
*I'll admit that last one might be just my personal interpretation from what I've read with the character. I hope I'm not wrong, as such attitudes would be natural even among good Magisters. Plus, it would make for great dialogue and character development.

As I've said before, just pick Casey Mongillo, she'd be perfect and an absolute WIZ of a voice actress, and transgender too.

Why would she need a British accent? Mae is from Tevinter not Ferelden.

I investigated a bit more deeply than the link you gave (which sounded over the top dramatic). They even have a CD of music, but that voice is definitely "Male teen" sounding. So I'm not won over here. I suppose a transgender character should have a TG voice actor? Or does that really matter? Was Sera voiced by. Lesbian and was Dorian voiced by a gay man?

The other poster suggested Jamie Clayton, another transgender actress, where I'd rather have Casey Mongillo, another transgender voice actress. Like she is an actual voice actress instead of just an actress. And no it doesn't matter, and I'd rather have an extremely womanly, sensual voiceover for Mae. But I was just keeping the '' trend '' going.

I'm keeping my expectations low, but this is my 'ultimate' wishlist: - Bring back origins, or at least have some difference in background that goes beyond codex.
- A more detailed CC, especially when it comes to hair-styles. (Long-hair that isn't tied up would be great.) Facial hair too, it was really cringy in Inquisition.
- Removal of the 'power' system. Just bring back level recommendations.
- Companions can have deep and tangible relationships with one another. (Platonic, rivalry, romance... etc) Inquisition kind of did this with Bull and Dorian, but I'd like it on a grander scale. Just so there's more than just banter.
- Companions can and will call you out on BS. I always found it weird how you could be totally agreeable with one character, only to go and contradict it when speaking to another. Wouldn't you think word would get around? It would definitely make the approval system more difficult, but it would make it more realistic.
- Bring back attribute points. If I want to make a mage and put all my points in strength like an idiot then let me do it.
- Bring back speech checks.
- I really want to ride/mount a griffin or dragon at some point. Please BioWare, please.

Why would she need a British accent? Mae is from Tevinter not Ferelden. I think it's because Fenris, Krem, Danarius, Dorian, Caladrius, Varania, Felix, Alexius, Hadriana, etc. are all from Tevinter and have English accents.

To be honest that’s strange considering how they established British accents as a Ferelden and Free Marcher thing while every other human nation has their own accent. Why have Tevinter have them too?

They were all English, or desperately-trying-to-be-English in Krem's case. What did you think they were? (Isabela also has an English accent despite being from Rivain, so who knows. Maybe Rivaini people follow the same translation conventions as Tevinter.) Or it's just an example of The Queen's Latin.

I'd like more Dalish to be like Merril's voice actor (welsh?) Antivans had a special (spanish italian?) accent. Then we have british and American for Fereldan and Free Marches. French for Orlesian. Dorian doesn't sound British to me very much.

To be perfectly honest they didn’t sound like any accent, or at least not from the same place. That was actually something I was looking forward to with Tevinter since it sounded like a melting pot kind of place where there would be a variety of accents. I don’t see Isabela or Vivienne as representative of Rivaini accents since both haven’t been there in a long time so they lost it to the accents of where they lived.

Dorian doesn't sound British to me very much. American accents seem to be reserved for Dwarves and Qunari. A shame since there are a lot of great American VAs who could play human or elf roles.

Accents in Thedas make little sense, frankly - why would Qunari and dwarves have the same accent??? - but that seems to be what we're going with at this point.

The lore emphazises that Qunari don't like speaking to foreigners without "mastering" their language - and who invented the Common tongue? Dwarves.

This is actually the meta reason that dwarves sound American - originally they were meant to have German accents, but BioWare couldn't find enough voice actors. (This is also why half the male Orlesians tend to sound the same.)

I didn’t mean less British accents as in less British VAs if I am reading your post correctly. I meant accents as in accents. For example there are quite a few VAs in America I would love to hear in these games.

(This is also why half the male Orlesians tend to sound the same.) Yeah, I figgered the lack of many French VAs was a big factor. Interesting about the Dwarves, though. TIL. Does that have anything to do with why they changed Elves after Origins (like, originally, were Elves supposed to be American-accented as they were in DAO, but changed to Welsh and Irish later because that became the Dwarves schtick)? I didn’t mean less British accents as in less British VAs if I am reading your post correctly. I meant accents as in accents. For example there are quite a few VAs in America I would love to hear in these games. Ah, I assumed you meant it as in "a wider variety of accents overall". Like, say, Italian accents, German accents, etc. What I fear is if that is done, we'll get a lot of American and British VAs just faking those accents and it not turning out well (ala Cassandra). If what you meant more is "throw consistent accents to the wind because it's not like they've made that much effort anyway, and let's face it, every game needs more Matt Mercer, then sure, I can get behind that.
