What about the previous games in this series, and fan feedback concerning them, has led the team to decide that we all want to be leading an Inquisition? Did you stop to consider how many players would rather be fighting against an Inquisition, just as they may have when playing the previous games? I have no interest in Dragon Age: Right Hand of the Chantry. We said we wanted choices that mattered, choosing our allegiances for us does not get us off to a good start.  Leliana can rejoin the Chantry and persecute the nonbelievers if she wants, but don't make that choice for the player as well.

By placing us at the center of this inquisition plot you're forcing the player into a story that is at odds with those elements that were loved in the other games (in which choice meant uncovering or burying secrets at your discretion). Dragon Age was a game that allowed you, for example, the choice between helping to establish a church in a dwarven city or running the would-be preacher out of town. Now is that choice is gone? Must we all be good little soldiers for an institution that many of us spent dozens if not hundreds of hours questioning, resisting, or foiling?

The Wardens wanted to end the Blight, and Hawke wanted to escape it and save his family. Those were motivations that were easy to agree and identify with. They addressed basic human concerns. I'm worried that this plot will be more geared towards a smaller subset of the gaming populace that aspires to persecute and wage holy wars. Dragon Age was about humans fighting extinction, not seeking the end of all heretics. This series has always had a balanced approach to this subject before, and the player was always able to choose their allegiance. Don't force us to go against that now.

In short, I have a fear that if my Warden and Hawke were to show up in DA3 it would be as enemies, because everything I stood for in my playthroughs was against the idea of becoming the Grand Inquisitor. Don't make us the puppets of the Chantry, this series deserves better treatment.

I guess you'll have to wait for more information to come out.
