This isn't Origins. The other potential Inquisitors don't exist in the game, so this idea makes absolutely no sense. Nothing concretely says that the other potential Inquisitors weren't at the Conclave and didn't perish in the blast.
The only thing that changes is who happened to be in the wrong place at the right time to get the Anchor.
DAO openly acknowledges the existence of the other would be Wardens, so I definitely would expect better proof than "Well, the game doesn't say they weren't there". |

That is because they were sort of tied into the main game. Most of them had stories that tied into the main game (except the Dalish Elf, and Casteless Dwarf). In Inquisition, none of the other options were acknowledged because their backstories were tied to the war table, and they have no importance to the story otherwise. |

The fact, that the DAO gives "better proof", proves that the Trevelyans, Cadashs, Lavellans don't exist, in the world, where Adaar exists? I suppose this ONLY proves, that IN DAO the others exist. |

It is a good example of what the devs do when they actually want all potential protagonists to exist in the game. They let you know. Honestly, this is starting to sound a lot like a debate about religion: "You can't prove that God doesn't exist!". |

The issue here is, that most of the other potential inquisitors are not important enough people, since most of the main game does not have anything to do with the backgrounds of the characters. Makes sense that people would believe they do not exist, but they are just not important to the story of the game, for those stories to be acknowledged. |

Just because you're rolling a Lavellan, Cadash or Adaar, doesn't mean that Dorian isn't distantly related to the Trevelyan family, nor did Josephine and the Montilyet family not attend the summer balls held by Lady Trevelyan (aka "Great Aunt Lucille"). It only means that without a Trevelyan Inquisitor, they never have any reason to mention it.
Besides, if the Trevelyan family doesn't exist, how do we explain all the codex entries by "Phillam, a Bard!" then?
(World of Thedas 2 confirms his full name is Phillam Bernard Aloicious Trevelyan)

I always assumed that the other protagonists existed - Leliana still hired qunari mercs even if you played as Trevelyan, the Carta still sent smuggler-spies even if you played as Lavellan - they just got nuked at the Conclave.
Or maybe they got lucky and Adaar was wherever Shokrakar was, out of the blast radius. Or mage!Trevelyan was in that long line of mages trekking up to the Temple, but far enough away that they didn't get blasted.
Fun to think about.

Like I said, I assume that they exist, the same way I assume Amell/Surana was killed or possessed during Uldred's uprising if you play as another Warden, even if we never see any evidence of their existence. |

Iddy, just going to end this here with, Adaar exists in MY Trevelyan's world because my Trevelyan has sexual history with the Vashoth. If you feel so strongly that Adaar does not exist, the replace Adaar with some other Qunari, it is easily changeable. |

How does it affect your enjoyment of the story one way or another? |

I'm learning to appreciate the massiveness of the Qunari. It's going to be nice to see what it's like to Tower over everyone for once. I notice it at first in the hands, because the fingers are so long! |
