Another plot might involve a harem where the members have different magical abilities. They work together to solve magical mysteries in the Dragon Age universe. Maybe they are trying to find the source of a strange new magic that is causing chaos in the land. This would lead to a lot of character development as they learn to trust and rely on each other.
One idea could be a crossover with The Witcher series. Geralt could end up in Thedas and have to deal with the chaos there, maybe teaming up with the Inquisitor to fight a common enemy like a powerful darkspawn or a rogue mage. Another idea is a crossover with Lord of the Rings. Imagine an elf from Middle - earth finding their way into Thedas and sharing their knowledge of magic or combat with the characters in Dragon Age Inquisition.
Character relationships are a key element. The Inquisitor's interactions with multiple characters in a romantic or close-knit way are central. For example, how they handle the different personalities and backstories of each character in the harem.
One interesting fanfiction could be about a unique character's journey within the Inquisition. For example, a story that focuses on a mage who has to overcome both the challenges of the Inquisition's rules and the external threats like demons. This kind of fanfiction often explores the rich lore of the 'Dragon Age' world in more depth than the game might in some areas.
There might be a fanfiction where a group of soldiers in the Inquisition have a crisis of faith during a particularly difficult battle. They question whether the Maker is truly on their side as they face seemingly insurmountable odds. It could explore how they regain their faith or find a new belief system altogether.
There could be a story where a non - human character, like an elf, is pregnant. This could delve into the cultural aspects of pregnancy within the elven community in Dragon Age. For example, how their traditions and beliefs influence her pregnancy journey. It might also explore how the Inquisition, which is a predominantly human - led organization, treats her during this time and whether they respect her elven heritage and customs.
Maybe an OC who is a rogue with a mysterious past. They have a personal vendetta against a powerful Templar who has gone rogue and joined the enemy. The Inquisition becomes their means to get close to this Templar and exact revenge. Their skills in stealth and thievery could help the Inquisition in various covert operations.
In this fanfiction, a possible interesting concept is the cultural fusion. The Lotus Blossom, which might be associated with Asian cultures, could be blended with the Western - inspired Dragon Age Inquisition world. This could result in new forms of art, fashion, or even combat styles within the story. It might also introduce new deities or spiritual beliefs that are a combination of the two cultures. The fanfiction could explore how these new elements affect the power dynamics in the game world, for instance, how a new magic source related to the Lotus Blossom changes the balance between mages and templars.
Cullen Rutherford is quite popular. His chivalrous nature and his role in the Inquisition make him an appealing choice for many harem scenarios. He could be the knight in shining armor protecting the other members of the harem.
There's also 'Harem of the Herald'. This fanfic delves deep into the character development of the Inquisitor as they navigate through a harem situation. It explores different romances and how they interact with the main story of Dragon Age Inquisition. The writing is quite engaging and the author has a good grasp on the personalities of the game characters.
One interesting red lyrium fanfiction could be about a character's struggle against the corrupting influence of red lyrium. For example, a story where a mage has to fight their inner demons as the red lyrium slowly takes over their magic. It could explore themes of power and self - control.
