Once the player chooses a core class, it's impossible to work outside of that class. The only drawback is that there is no jack of all trades feature.
While the perfect character won't emerge as soon as a player launches the game and chooses their class, over time and with levels, new skills can be chosen through the skill tree that allows Grey Wardens, Hawkes and Inquisitors alike to tailor and perfect their character's attacks and defenses. Whether the player is looking to smash enemies into pulp, get up close and stabby or fire off bolts of metal or lightning from a safe distance, the game specifically caters to numerous play styles. Offering different play styles within each sub-class, a player's character can choose from a multitude of options designed to build the perfect combat experience.
Throughout the Dragon Age franchise, BioWare has worked hard to evolve the three core player classes of warrior, rogue and mage.
