Who knows he might do a novel about Tevinter before DA4 like he did with Orlais.Some groundwork to explain the political situtaion and tension with Qunari.
I feel like this is pretty likely. One, maybe more novels that lead up to the events of DA4. Probably some beginnings of the rejuvenated Qunari war, what's going on in tevinter, and stuff in other locations if we're going elsewhere too.
And how are Orlesian Chevaliers not a local faction, just like most of the groups I mentioned?
They are one of the most influental faction is Thedas - we cannot imagine Orlais without the Chevaliers just like we cannot imagine Tevinter without magisters. Anyway it is not me whom will deside - it's developers. I just hope that they don't forget about these factions.
I'm already ready for a DA4....ugh...the pain.
I hope it doesn't take 5 years like Me:A.
ugh, i tell ya.
Well if you think they won't release more than 1 game per year...ME:A should be launched in 2017 , next Ip , perhaps 2018 , so DA4 2019.
So yeah 5 years.
I'll be right there in the corner , crying bitter tears if some wants to join you're welcome.

For some reason it's bothering me more than usual this week - probably because I just finished another Inquisitor and ended up with an interesting world state that I'd love to see the outcome of. I mean, I want them to take the time they need to make a great game! But 2019 is sooooooo far away.
2019 seems a bit too distant. Keep in mind DAI came out in 2014; five years is a LOOOONG time between releases. Ubisoft could pump out 37 Assassin's Creed games in that timeframe.
"But ME:A," you whimper. Yeah, so? ME was supposed to be done after ME3. DA is an ongoing franchise.
I hope you're right Evil Dude.
yeah....and?
edit: oh, oh yeah. I get it now. That plants vs...things thing.
What's the name of that frickin' game again? I really can't remember. It was Plants vs...I wanna say Zombies, but that's not right. Is it? Plants vs Weed Whackers?
Eh, Idk.
It's Plants vs. Zombies, which is made by Popcap Games. (Hence Pauper's Cap.)

I think the absolute earliest plausible window is around November 2018, and that's if the Sekrit New IP arrives in November 2017 or March 2018. Given how often previous BioWare games have been delayed, some time in 2019 is the date I would actually put money on at this point.
We had DAI three and a half years after DA2, and that was working with a whole new engine. Aside from this "one game per year" rule, why would it take five years for a new DA title? Do we even have any indication what the new IP is, let alone that it'll launch in 2018?
Our current best guess is Fun loving Super Hero Cowboys in Space. In other words...no idea.
I'm with you, though. 5 years is a huge amount of time, especially given how often they mentioned the challenges of bending Frostbite to their RPG will.
Add to that the possiibility that DA4 will be sort of a closer continuation of themes and arcs from previous game than DA2 was ever to DAO or DAI was to DA2... I'm not sure they intend to release the "2nd part-ish" chapter of the game only after people completely forget what the 1st part was about.
"Solas? Who's that again? Was he the guy who wanted to run tests on seashells?"
Solas singing patter songs... XD
I'm hoping for 2018. 
please.

We should keep in mind that release dates aren't necessarily 100% influenced by the actual development of the game, or when they're ready to be released. EA's financial outlook factors into it too. I remember that was one of the reasons given for DA2 being so rushed; it had to launch in a certain quarter to make the earnings results look better. So as odd as it sounds, the "one game per year" thing can actually be a significant consideration for the publisher when it's working out what will ship, and when.
I don't really think DA4 would take five years (so, like, late 2019?) but Andromeda is in 2017, and the new IP has to launch some time - it's been in development since at least September 2012. Andromeda will definitely come first, then I expect the new IP, then DA4.
They might try to launch Andromeda in Feb/March 2017 and the new IP in November or December, which would leave 2018 open for DA4. At this point everyone is just speculating.

I like that timeframe, but I'm also fine with 1 per year. With DLCs there might be overlap, and knowing BioWare it'd be ROUGH on the feels yo!
Something that came up at GDC - my job title is not super clear on what, exactly, I actually do. So! Clarity.
I handle - cinematics, ambient life, cameras. The 'how' of the narrative experience, or how we take the story and present it to the player.
Ambient life would be the conversations we overhear or the routines of the NPCs???

I think it's mostly about visual part of narrative.
I imagine it's the non-interactive NPCs and animals, like birds.
^ Totally unrelated... but what is that weird weapon on your Inquisitor's back? It looks like they have two long fluorescent light bulbs sticking up there. o_O

That's Chromatic Greatsword. Probably a glitch that you see two (my bet - caused by Elusive effect).
