Would you rather have had Dragon Age a trilogy with the same character or an ongoing franchise with a different character on each?

If possible, I would prefer DA3 to offer completions of both characters, like seperate origins.

I prefer having an ongoing franchise with different protagonists. I have no interest in playing my Wardens again, and while I'd like to see DLC and/or an expansion starring Hawke I want a new lead for DA3.

New character, please. I think this franchise needs a fresh start. Definitely no more Hawke.

Definitely a new character. The problem with continuing characters is they become demigods and battles just become longer and longer as they can no longer be made challenging. In the old days when computer limitations limited character levels, it made sense to have continuing characters as you could only do so much in a game. Today, Hawke can reach levels that would take 3 separate games in the days of the C64 and Apple II.
Between DAO and Awakening, the Warden's story reached a natural conclusion. The Champion's story is left hanging so there is some justification for DA3 to continue Hawke's story. OTOH Hawke can also be a mentor in DA3 who appears from time to time to help out the PC. The Hawke story can be concluded without Haake actually being a playable character.

If there's a set story arc (such as the Mage-Templar War), then I'll take the same protagonists for a sequel or two to flesh out that story. If it's a new story arc then I'd prefer a new protagonist. Hopefully, we'll be able to customize the protagonist more. I love the fact that the protagonist is now voiced. The next step would be to choose different races and have VA's for different races (i.e. an elven male VA and an elven female VA).

The books tell different stories, the comics do, both games do and so will the new web series. The story is about the world, not any single person (aside from Flemeth maybe? 
).
New protagonist, please =)

Different protagonists for sure.
I'd much rather start anew and experience a different character's tale than stick to an already established, light-weight character. Pardon me, serah Warden and Hawke, but neither of you are a match for Geralt of Rivia or Kyle Katarn. And as far as travel companions go; some are enjoyable enough during the moment, but they aren't strong enough on their own to be carried throughout a multitude of storylines.
Note: I'm not bashing the game here or turning this topic into a "versus discussion." I'm merely stating my opinion and leaving it at that. Good day!

Depends on it.
If there's still adventure to be had, stick with one protagonist. But the Warden's story has come to an end. I'd love to play him again, but as has been pointed out earlier, he'd be some kind of demi-god then.
I can only hope that my Warden will one day return and be reunited with Leliana. I felt a bit butthurt when I heard that she left the Warden's side.
Anyway, Hawke's story ain't finished. BW gots to fix that. When Hawke's story is finished, we will know.
So for me it depends.
If there's enough adventure and potential to be had, one protagonist.
If not, multiple protagonists.

I personally think Flemeth is Nick Fury(an ambigious version of Nick Fury). And she's saving these legendary heroes in each installment for an Avengers type team.

I like the CONCEPT of Dragon Age better, though I have had my problems with the EXECUTION. Besides, everyone knows the Warden is dead. Morrigan killed and ate him after she suckered him into going through the mirror.

You lost me after you mentioned Geralt of Rivia and comparinh him with ME (The Warden). The Warden is my alter ego so the personality of the Warden goes as far as I want it to be unlike an already set character like Geralt. The Witcher is a damn good game but to say that Geralt has personality that goes beyond his monotone voice is pushing it. ;P
That said, I would generally prefer a mixture of the old and new cast for each new game.

I wouldn't mind seeing my Warden return in the near future but for now I think we need to explore Thedas through the eyes of several different characters.

Ongoing series with different protagonists. You can tell a story that runs over much longer time and larger geographical area if the installments don't have to be about the same character.

I have no problem returning to the Warden or Hawke, and I have no problem playing new characters. All I really want is a solid game.

This is something I've been wondering myself.
I'd like to see Hawke's story continue in DA3 and then maybe a new character story in DA4...or even going back in time and do Duncan's story for example. That would be pretty cool, no?
Whatever happens, I sure hope they plan to extend the franchise beyond DA3.

I think it would be great to do another protagonist in a different country, say maybe the Anderfels?
This way each game builds more and more to the whole DA universe and makes for interesting interaction between the separate stories as you can see what implications certain events in one country has on the other.

Pardon my c-c-c-c-combo breaker, but I'd actually like to stick with a single protagonist until the main plot threads are wrapped up. Then I'd like to start afresh with a new character and a new story-arc. A new protagonist each game works well for self-contained stories which focus primarily on gameplay instead of plot (i.e. TES). I don't think it's going to work very well for a franchise that claims to focus on inter-game continuity.
In Dragon Age: Origins, I became invested in my Warden. Origins was a story all about how his life got flipped, turned upside down. After about 40 hours of sitting in my chair, I learned how he saved Ferelden with the help of Maric's heir. In the Tower of Magi, born and raised, in the library is where he spent most of his days. Chillin' out maxin', relaxin' all cool, playing pranks on templars because they're deluded tools--sorry...I'm a little drunk. Anyway, he was swept up in circumstances beyond his control, torn from his old life, with the weight of the world dumped on his shoulders and the usurper-king Loghain trying to kill him. After an ending reminscient of Star Wars Episode IV, there was some measure of peace (until Kirkwall ****ed it up) and a lot of remaining questions. What is Flemeth and what is she planning? What role does Morrigan have to play and what did she want with the OGB? Where does the Eluvian lead to and why did Morrigan use it? Is Urthemiel different from the other Archdemons because he was woken up with Grey Warden blood? Where the hell did the Architect come from? How are the sentient darkspawn going to change the status quo? What the hell is the ancient evil alluded to in both DA:O and DA II and when can I kick its ass?
Then Dragon Age II comes along and I get a brief glimpse of Flemeth and a few lines suggesting **** was about to go down. A few cameos by Nathaniel and other Wardens suggest something very, very bad is happening with the darkspawn. Bann Teagan mentions that the Warden has returned to Denerim, years after he disappeared through the Eluvian with Morrigan. Leliana is inexplicably (but for plot reasons to be revealed in a later game or DLC, according to David Gaider [I think]) now a zombie and is searching for the Warden on behalf of the Divine. These hints paint the picture of an epic story going on in the background, and I get to play a glorified errand boy (Hawke) until Anders pulls a V for Vendetta on the Chantry. Mage revolt, fade to black, cue credits.
I'm really, really hoping that the Warden is the protagonist of Dragon Age 3, or at the very least plays a significant on-screen role, along with Hawke, in the catastro**** that's about to go down. If it's just another filler game with a few cameos and no resolution to the plot-arc set up in the first two games, I'm going to lose my patience and give up on the franchise.
Edit: As a note to those who insist that the Warden can never be involved in any future titles because they fed him/her to the Archdemon, remember that Dragon Age is fiction. Anything can happen in fiction. Flemeth was resurrected, Leliana was resurrected, there's no reason why the Warden can't be resurrected.

i say it depends on if the person story isnt finish. Many say the wardens tale is done and for some people it is. Even as early as dying to kill the archdemon. However mine and many others it isnt done yet. Much like hawkes we are also on a cliffhanger of sorts. the story of the mage and templar though can be argued that hawke does not need to be invovled with, just cause he was around when it started. So were many others.

I think it would be a missed opportunity to focus on one character for three games in a fantasy setting, especially considering that was never what BioWare set out to do. DA2 missed the mark by a wide margin for me, but it does present a great opportunity for BioWare to allow for new protagonists, new companions, in new settings across Thedas, and then go through and connect all of the games in little ways. If they're not going to allow for deeper role playing (or, at least, as deep as DA:O was) then this would be an interesting direction for the series.
I would approve of that since, personally, I don't really want to play as Hawke anymore. But honestly, regardless of direction, I'm always going to be in favor of a return to a DA:O-style RPG.

Equal amounts of both. Personally I would rather it be more than a trilogy, but a long series of games placed in the same setting, telling many different tales.
