Inquisition sort of demands a full-on sequel though, considering how important the Inquisitor and the Inquisition end up becoming by the end of the game. They're practically their own country and have alliances with (or are at least on friendly terms with) several other nations. It would be incredibly jarring if the Inquisitor just disappeared and nobody knew where he or she went.

 

That's kinda why Inquisition needs it's own expansion like Origins did

 

Altho Bioware did entertain the idea of playing as multiple protags in future games

If we're going by the DA2 ending and what Cassandra says the Warden would also be the Inquisitor if alive because they looked for him/her also
 
I'm glad Bioware didn't go the "Commander Shepard" route with the series, because I prefer a new protagonist each game

 
No, Warden didn't mean anything after Origins. Dragon Age II went to great lengths to get as far away from the Warden as possible: different time, different place. The Warden was a relic from a different era, in both lore and game/technology. Mentioned in Inquisition purely for fan-service. Not a bad thing, but s/he had no impact on the game.

But if you want to ignore what’s obvious, don’t let me get in your way.

From the beginning, BioWare said they would have a different protagonist every game. Who's ignoring the obvious? Point is, if Hawke was ever tobe the Inquisitor, s/he most certainly would not have been the "Herald of Andraste," which will definitely have mattered a lot more in the long run.

Bioware said…? Umm… Mass Effect 3 ending.
Old statements are not evidence.

But I’m not the all seeing eye. Hell, maybe Varric was meant to be the Inquisitor. Having played Dragon Age II, seeing where it went and where it promised to go further, I can’t with a straight face say Hawke wasn’t imagined as the Inquisitor.

The dialogue with Flemeth, Cassandra’s urgency with Varric, Cassandra’s words with Varric in Inquisition, the cliff-hanger ending in II, DA2 DLC actually has the badguy from DAI(?), and so on. But in the end, this character—Hawke—that is propped up to protagonist status, with an enormous amount of unfulfilled prophecy, is in the last minute demoted to cameo.

It’s no secret in the original build of Inquisition, the Inquisitor could only be human. Race selection was added later. Probably after the Inquisitor became the ‘Herald of Andraste’, as appose to ‘the Champion of Kirkwall’.

In fact, the entire Mage/Templar war that took a whole game to kick off is brushed aside in Act1 of Inquisition. We’re then treated to a journey of faith and belief, and uninspired retconned threats, none of which really evolve or explain themselves beyond their local missions.

Hawke ending the Mage/Templar war was pretty obviously what ‘Dragon Age 3’ was originally cooked up to be. If it wasn’t, then Bioware are really terrible at stories. Beyond the emergency pandering to rabid fans, anyway.

The human only Inquisitor was also going to have selectable backgrounds

A single adjustment in the timing of a single detail has no effect on the likeliness of the hypothesis.

That's actually pretty terrible reasoning. BioWare said they would make a sequel, but hey, DA's probably done now. Obviously this was a trilogy because BioWare's word is worthless. 

 

But I’m not the all seeing eye. Hell, maybe Varric was meant to be the Inquisitor. Having played Dragon Age II, seeing where it went and where it promised to go further, I can’t with a straight face say Hawke wasn’t imagined as the Inquisitor.

I've played DA2 more than the other DA games combined. There is no evidence to conclude that Hawke was meant to be the Inquisitor from a design point of view, which is literally the only one that matters. We already know, from this game, that Justinia wanted Hawke to be Inquisitor. You're trying to claim that BioWare wanted Hawke to be Inquisitor using in game reasoning from a NPC's point of view. That won't work. 

The dialogue with Flemeth, Cassandra’s urgency with Varric, Cassandra’s words with Varric in Inquisition, the cliff-hanger ending in II, DA2 DLC actually has the badguy from DAI(?), and so on. But in the end, this character—Hawke—that is propped up to protagonist status, with an enormous amount of unfulfilled prophecy, is in the last minute demoted to cameo.

As Keith said, there were multiple backgrounds even then. Hawke never had multiple backgrounds aside from: "I can melt you with my mind." Argue that Hawke was meant to be more important all you want, but he was never going to be the protagonist of this game. Development takes way too long for a single year to radically change the story.

In fact, the entire Mage/Templar war that took a whole game to kick off is brushed aside in Act1 of Inquisition. We’re then treated to a journey of faith and belief, and uninspired retconned threats, none of which really evolve or explain themselves beyond their local missions.

Because belief isn't important? The Mage-Templar War has been going on for years now and was already ending. It was a plot point, and a weak one, and it was resolved like everything else. Belief, in whatever, was a much stronger one and lasted throughout the entire story? 

Hawke ending the Mage/Templar war was pretty obviously what ‘Dragon Age 3’ was originally cooked up to be. If it wasn’t, then Bioware are really terrible at stories.

BioWare IS really terrible at stories. That's why the Mage-Templar conflict within itself is terrible.

What's wrong with it? It's kind of bland looking, but still better than the set that has hearts plastered all over the shoulder plates. Especially when you craft it with Dawnstone, which turns it all a frilly pink.

I was actually talking about the Inquisitor's armor, I rather like that armor for Cassandra

Oh, right. I don't particularly care for the Templar armor. At least, that looks like Templar armor. The glare obscures the spot where the insignia would be, but the shoulders look like Templar shoulders.

I like the Free Marcher armor, it reminds me of the Hound's armor in GOT.

I said old statements aren't evidence. How'd you make that leap?

It's clear we disagree, and that's something I can live with.
