If she is just spitting stuff out to have something to talk about.....ugh....

Oh. I would take that with a grain of salt. I haven't heard that anywhere and unless she can source that, I think it's just rumor. She's a reporter and EA and Bioware have been so tightlipped about DLC that I think anything said by anyone other than them is just somebody talking out of their butt. They may have one story DLC where you play as someone else, but people liked their Inquisitor and we alread had a story DLC come out - JOH technically was - and obviously you played as the Inquisitor. I don't see why Bioware would change that. They have acknowledged that people want certain stories continued - the Solas one being part of it - it doesn't really have the same impact without the Inquisitor. So I don't see why Bioware would remove you from the game yet.
EDIT: I do want to add though - I think there will be at least a 2-3 more story DLCs and I think the last one is going to be the one dealing with Solas. It's just going to set up what's to come in the next game. I think every other one will be important and interesting. It'll hint at things to come or inform how the world will change. But I think the Solas story is going to be the big finale.

It has but it's just another one of those things that was brilliant to include and reveals much about both of them.
Not sure if this should be marked as spoilers but I will anyway.

EDIT: Top Solas.
Have some pretty fanart done by watercolorteas based on the modern AU Solavellan fic flower/ink. (Which I highly recommend you read, if you haven't btw.)

As long as they're not only giving us two bits of DLC then I think this sound like a fun idea. We didn't play as the Warden in DC or LS for Origins, or as the Warden from Awakening onwards depending on whether they made the US or not.
Speaking of DLC, I just ended JoH.
Now I'm going to wait for the next DLC announcement. Bioware? Hmmmm? *blink blink*
I'm playing JoH right now. Haven't really done much except explore though.

That's the first thing I did when I started the DLC. Actually, I started off by collecting shards and doing some of the sidequests before doing the story-related stuff. xD
I'm curious to know where she picked up that tidbit because at this point it's baseless unless I missed something. Until then she's blowing smoke or she better pass the elf root.
lol
Maybe they mentioned the HOF again and she got confused?
I'm not opposed to more DLC like JOH or piecemeal, but I would really enjoy an expansion at this point (ala Awakening). Featuring Solas of course!
IIRC the majority of DOA dlcs added story content to the game plus there was a major expansion so there was room for two dlc featuring different characters but DAI is different. It's highly unlikely we'll get the same amount of dlcs as DOA, unless we count appearance packs, and BW are done with expansions. With the small number of dlcs going to be released I'd prefer sticking with the Inquisitor, I'm going to be saying goodbye to her (and him and the others hers) soon enough.

This is what I think too. Anything with Solas might come towards the end of the released DLCs because it'll probably be the DLC that hints at what happens in the next game. Because I'm not worried, I'm actually super intrigued as to what a story DLC without the Inquisitor could be! If this is all legitimate, of course.
Spoiler
If they make me play as Morrigan, I just won't buy it.
On the other hand...
Mmm....I like the pre-conclave idea actually. And I honestly do think whatever it is, it would be good.
......ooooo.....what if we get to be Abelas.....or an elf from the Temple of Mythal. Oooo.....I could dig that.
See, this is what I like about coming to this thread. It never fails in stopping my hell spiraling. =D
A whole DLC looking at Abelas elven glory thighs?!?
*dumps tiny Team Optimism flag and brings airplane with giant banner: "DO WANT"*
I also loved JoH
In terms of DLC I wouldn't worry too much - it's just an off-hand rumour, she's a reporter, and she said 'maybe' rather than 'definitely'.
I have a lot of faith (heh) that they'll return to the issue of Solas' depature/reveal in DLC, however indirectly. It's such a sudden reveal, with so little detail (we still know so little about Fen'Harel and his lifetime, for instance) that they'd be foolish not to follow up on it. I reckon that if we deal with it we'll probably get a lot of background lore, and (maaaaybbeeee) a brief encounter but any meaty plotty stuff will have to come next game.
On the bright side, I am 100% sure Solas will turn up next game. Not sure in what capacity, but it's something to look forward to.
ummm yeah anything I hear as maybe and rumor I take with a grain of salt and file it under rumor until I hear it officially confirmed from one of the devs or they make an official announcement for dlc.
A Solasmancer friend of mine told me you guys were discussing the "not playing as the inquisitor" DLC statement from that Gamespot reporter.
This should clear things up:

Silly Gamespot reporter.
Thank you for posting that. Some of us were freaking out. :-P
Ah, didn't realise it was Lucy that said it. Small world.
But good to see. I spent a long time trying to make a good looking Inquisitor and I want to keep playing as them through all the DLC ![]()
I did try and read through the thread about it over in the non Spoiler section but I've put so many people on ignore that the thread was just full of empty spaces. Haha. I'm guessing those empty spaces were those people going "Good. Worst protag eva. TW rulez."
much love to the ignore button being a thing here.

I had always wondered what the forums looked like for people who used the ignore function.

Normally I don't like blocking anything because I like to see all the different opinions. But this forum really tests that. Really.
First guy who went on the list made a point of complaining about how much he hates Dorian in every, even non relevant thread.
The next went on because she kept asking to have Sera removed from the game completely and I felt my brain cells die from her posts.
Another was just a troll and I think is actually banned now.
And today, two new additions from people who hate DAI but post here more than I do.
It was foolish of me to think that this long after release the people that hated the game would have moved on with their lives. Especially as so many great games have come out since then.
But some people...

I'm still happy though
yeah! Dragon Age! whooo!
Bring me that DLC!

There's also the 'Cassandra looks like a man' guy, but he and all his alts got banned.
I really don't get why someone who clearly hates Dragon Age/Mass Effect would spend their time here. There are some folk I've come close to blocking, but not yet.

Cassandra looks like a man guy got renewed interest over Twitter the past couple of days and some of the responses were pretty glorious, especially from devs/people associated with the game. I explained to a couple of people that this pathetic guy has been trolling for months with this.
Just because I was thinking about this, and is a good enough response:
