act 1: 5 & 6 // act 2: 1, 2 & 6 // act 3: 2, 3 & 5 for alvar!!!
5. What did your Inquisitor do to the templars/mages? Conscription, alliance or banishment/disbanding? Why?
she allied with the mages! alva is a mage herself, when she heard that the mages want to talk to her, it was basically a no brainer for her to check them out asap. and it was also a no brainer to offer them an alliance, alvar is actually quite aware that conscripting them might be the smarter move, but she simply doesn’t want to do that because she trusts them and she firmly believes they deserve to be independent
6. Was your Inquisitor uncomfortable with their title or did they embrace it? Would they have chosen to join the Inquisition if they had been given the option?
she wasnt uncomfortable per se, but she was surprised for sure, she’s an elf and a mage after all!! and on top of that, leader of something which main religion she doesnt even share. but she knows how to lead (in theory. baby was still just first of her clan after all) and having the mark, it made sense in her eyes also she’s a bit stupid and brave and would never say no to something like this lmao imagine her basically like “ofc im gonna save the world!!” and in the back of her head theres also a little whisper that goes “also this is dangerous and exciting, but also a bit scary, yeehaw”
& yes she would have joined the inquisition if given the chance! this is a one in a lifetime experience, and she’s def the type of person to get involved. she would also never just be like “ah, let the others deal with those demons i guess..”
1. What did your Inquisitor think of the Hawke they met? Did they clash? Were they friends? Was your Inquisitor in awe of the champion?
oh my god alva is the biggest fangirl :’/ varric gifted her the tale of the champion back in haven & she ate the book up in a single night. she also loved to hear him talk about her, and when she was suddenly standing infront of her she was a bit star struck, ngl :’/ <3 they did become friends pretty quickly, both being pretty extroverted and social. u would find them laughing together with varric at the camp fire while on their way to the adamant fortress. alva would question her all the time about whats true in varrics book and eleanor didn’t mind at all. alva also went 🥺 all the time whenever eleanor mentioned anders, she loves romance......
2. Which warden ally (Loghain, Stroud or Alistair) did your Inquisitor meet? What became of the warden ally and why did your Inquisitor choose to spare/sacrifice them?
this is a tricky question because i still havent decided what i want to be canon lmao. originally she met alistair, and sacrificed hawke because it was hawkes wish, and she didnt thought it was her place to deny her that no matter how much she liked her.
though, cari is my main warden for a while now, which means alistair is king and she should have met stroud. in that scenario she sacrificed stroud, i headcanon that he made a stronger case and she didnt deny him for the same reason as i mentioned before. also he’s a warden and will die of the taint anyway (though that’s something she thought of afterwards). i played this scenario only once. god i finally have to make up my mind lmao.
6. Which potential leader of Orlais (Celene, Briala or Gaspard) did your Inquisitor approve of the most? Which one did they end up backing? Was it a choice based off of personal wants or the necessary choice to win the war?
briala! and she ended up backing her, but officially putting gaspard on the throne. it was a surprise to some, some didnt thought she had it in her. but she did research quite a bit before going to orlais, and she made leliana tell her every single secret she knew about that place. one things she knew for certain was that she didnt trust celene, and that she didnt trust briala to ever get any power if celene was still present. so i would say its a mixture of personal wants (wanting elves to get treated right, for example) and politics
2. How did your Inquisitor react to the Well of Sorrows? Did it mean anything to them? Did they feel a connection to the history it contained?
she was speechless for a second tbh. she admires mythal, and i think she heavily felt the years of pain the well contained in the air, but she also felt connected in a way that this was part of her peoples history, and yet even being a keepers first, she didnt knew anything about it. part of her was quite excited to have uncovered such a thing, another part of her was almost a bit regretful, this was the first time she thought about how much more there could be about elves she never knew about
3. Who drank from the well, Morrigan or your Inquisitor, and what were your Inquisitor’s reasons for who drank? Were they fearful of Morrigan? Did they desire the secrets of the well?
alva drank! she wasnt fearful of morrigan, but she was fearful for her, she didnt wanted to let her drink it because it was dangerous, and she’s the type to do things like that herself then (im rolling my eyes hard rn)
though, there was also a part of her deep down that wanted the knowledge for herself, that believes as an elf she should be the one to gather the secrets of the ancient elves. she isn’t very aware of that though.
5. What were your Inquisitor’s plans after defeating Corypheus? Did they intend to abandon their role as Inquisitor or remain with the Inquisition?
honestly, she’s more the type to live in the moment, she didnt had many plans. all she really wanted was to visit her clan and her parents for a bit and introduce them to solas as well, but that didnt happen :-)
