Chosen One / Leader / Dragon Age stuff

After playing some Dragon Age: Inquisition, (particularly playing a Dalish elven mage, thrust into a role of Inquisitor), which would amount to, IRL, a pagan nomad gypsy being declared the head of a nominally religious force to investigate and protect the world - with others who may not agree with each other or her having to step down in the face of her decisions - I like the feel it generated very much.

I've recently discovered lifepath games, and would be interested in a lifepath game that handles such a question - are you this chosen savior? how will you lead the order? Alternately, something very Dragon-Agey setting, though I'll confess to eing a relative newb when it comes to the full scope of setting knowledge attached to THedas.


It need not be exactly Dragon Age, but DA has a lot of  issues built right into the setting that introduce conflict and disagreement., making for interesting and consequential decisions.

Well, there IS a dragon age tabletop...not really a life path game though.

My ideal choice for system would be freeform, Don't have access to the DA tabletop book. That said, I'd be willing to entertain 3.5/Pathfinder (maybe gestalting or class changing within to model the in-game shifts that Specialization options can create? )

Alternately, a rules-light thing might work. I kind of like the idea of major players having somme sort of approval score that might rise or fall based on my actions sand how they affect the person/faction or their intrests...

In reply to Flarelord (msg # 4):

Burning wheel does lifepath character creation super well, if that's really what you're looking to get out of it.
