Dragon age worldstates dont have this prepared cause it will too much to program, BUT it's still fun to think about how... characters change depending on the context of the world, even if they are programmed exactly the same.
For example, a Vivienne from a pro-mage worldstate is not the same from a pro-templar worldstate.
There is a world where the hero of Ferelden is a mage, saved the Kinloch circle from abominations, and is now either a lover or friend with Alistair, the king of Ferelden, wich means they have some political power. Hawke, who might be family with the hero of Ferelden, could also be a mage who fought for them to not all get killed in the rebellion. This means Cassandra deeply admires a mage who protected other mages, even if they are not considered "perfect". It means she knows that if push comes to shove, Varric will fight to defend mages against the templars. It means that Cullen, after living a tower full of abominations, and then lived Kirkwall, took side to protect one mage who killed half his templar coworkers so Meredith didn't kill them, cause he considers them the hero of the city.
In this world, Vivienne knows that an heroic mage, an example for all, might save themselves, but this doesn't change the public opinion of magic. People are still afraid of magic, people hate the mages in the rebellion cause they are now a personal problem to them. They might admire some mages but they are The Exception, and she has to fight to be one of the exceptions. In this world many could say "see? fighting back works!" but even a mage hero of ferelden ends up walking alone to try to find a cure of an illess that affects them, and can't change much the fate of the mages even with direct contact with the King of Ferelden and the Left Hand of the Divine. Hawke was a noble and hero of the city and still had to run away from it. And did they help mages, when many died in the rebellion? So it makes sense she tries to fix thing in other way.
NOW... There is a world where the hero of Ferelden is a Cousland that is now the ruler of a kingdom, annulled the Kinloch circle and killed all the mages. Then a pro-templar Hawke also supported the annulment of the Kirkwall circle and killed all the mages. Now this means Cassandra admires this Hawke a lot and wanted them to be the Inquisitor. It means Varric is best friends with them and admires them a lot and also killed a fucking ton of mages and helped kill them. This means Cullen lived a circle full of abominations and the only solution was killing them all, and then lived another problem with mages and the solution was killing them all. 2 of these people are high ranking people of the inquisition. And include Leliana who may be pro mage freedom but still be best friend or lover of someone who chose to kill them all. She gets disapproval for this but is not a deal breaker.
Now you can imagine how fucking horrible is being a mage in this worldstate, and you can understand perfectly why Vivienne acts the way she does. Rebellion means demons and is death for everyone. She has to be perfect and she and Morrigan would be the only mages alive that are seen favorable by society, and they are both disrespected and feared anyways! It's lonely and it's bleak as fuck.
And you can do this with every chara! A Dagna that was ignored by an Aeducan who told her the circle of ferelden was destroyed, with Harrowmont ruling Orzammar so it's more closed of, is more lonely and far away from her hometown, while a Dagna that had a Casteless Brosca helping her (when she is not also technically Casteless), and Bhelem rules and Orzammar is more open, has more chances of making her dream come true of a cultural exchange with orzammar and surface mages. A Sera in a Tabris HoF worldstate is not the same as one with an Amell HoF selling elves from her alienage as slaves to Tevinter. An Anders besties with Surana pro-mage is not the same as an Anders who was lucky enough to survive the Kinloch annulment and lost every single mage he was raised with, etc etc the possibilities are endless and it's super interesting to think about
