A tevinter based game, with a qunari invasion as the central theme. either that, or one of the two blights left.

 

And please, no ferelden or kirkwall again, thanks.

[DeusGoddess5010]

Qunari or a natural disaster or perment change thats about to come

[Cancermeat]

I think the main character of the next one shouldn't be the center of attention.

Yeah, I never liked the feeling that every single thing I did (at least in DA:O) was something that significantly changed the course of history for Thedas. I mean, the Warden stopped a blight, was actively involved in Ferelden's and Orzammar's politics and decided the ruler of both states, resolved a war built up over centuries between cursed humans and the dalish, and found Andraste's sacred ashes; and all within a year no less! It's ridiculous the amount of power and important choices we're given, especially since these choices tend to be hard to carry over into the next installment in a meaningful way. So, yeah, I definitely do not want a main character that's at the center of all the resolutions of Thedas' significant problems.

I really want to see Nevarra. Like someone else said possibly the grey wardens attempting a coup in anderfels, all the while darkspawn advance would be a cool scenario. A Qunari inavnsion, and a possibility to see Rivain, Antiva and/or Tevinter. A possibility to explore the seheron/par vollen would be cool as well, i guess.

[Kalamah]

My plot speculations:

• It'll involve Tevinter, Nevarra, the Qunari, and/or the Anderfels in some way
• Possibly one plot theme will be about the Old Gods and/or Flemeth, depending on how much of that is answered regarding the Dales in Inquisition
• Depending how much effect the OGB will have, or not, in Inquisition, at least a mention about Urthemiel Jr. and what he's up to
• Griffons return!

 

In terms of the future DA4 game itself and decisions carried over into it...

 

Given how a few previous decisions were retconned by official canon later, I'm a bit wary about which of our decisions in Inquisition will actually be left untouched. I mean, for the most part I don't really mind, even if I'd sure like to see the different ways things would've happened if they'd accounted for player choices. But it kind of irks me that we get Leliana* regardless while the OGB is entirely optional, just to name one particularly big difference. But then I'm far more interested in the implications of the latter than the former, which is a big part of why I did the Dark Ritual at all. One bard doesn't make all that huge of an impact compared to a child with the soul of an old god, but curiosity killed the cat in my case. 

 

Then again, considering how many people were rightly annoyed at the retconning of their choices, which might be a small part of why they made the Keep for Inquisition, perhaps they're not going to just up and decide that only some of the decisions players make actually matter enough to write the canon to account for said decisions' effects. I'm cautiously optimistic about it in any case, given the Keep being a thing now, but I don't yet know just what choices it will let us keep (pun not intended).

 

* I never killed her off, personally, just saying that she is optional and killable and yet she's not dead regardless for reasons. Same with Anders/Justice and how we could, in theory, have prevented them from even meeting and also letting Anders die, yet poof he's alive in DA2 anyway and merged with Justice.

 

 

 

tl;dr: What I'm hoping for most is that DA4 respects player decisions that change things.

I want to go to Tevinter 

[simpatikool]

Return of the Maker.

Second coming of Andraste?

Flemmeth's/Old Gods conclusion?

[andar91]

I can't help but suspect that we'll still be involved in the Inquisition somehow. We don't have to be, that's for sure, but DAI is setting up so much new stuff like style of game (big open areas, keeps) that I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes the new mold.

 

But again, it doesn't have to, and they could do anything.

The Tevinter/Qunari conflict appears to be what suggests itself, featuring two of the most interesting unexplored cultures and a large-scale conflict that invites interference by a protagonist. Also, another political/philosophical conflict to explore.

I also agree that neither Ferelden nor Kirkwall should feature as a game location.

[afhdjs]

Something in the Tevinter capital, though would be interesting.

I want the next DA game to kick off an epic story that spans multiple games ala Mass Effect but in DA universe.

[Who Knows]

I'm okay with the continuation of Inquisition's story.

But please no more blights.

[Ieldra]

I want the next DA game to kick off an epic story that spans multiple games ala Mass Effect but in DA universe.

We do not already have that? There are several major conflict lines we've been involved in with our protagonists that span more than one game. In fact, you could say most of them do: Blights are not isolated events (I suspect we'll hear more of their background in DAI), the mage/templar conflict was present in one major quest in DAO, featured prominently in DA2 and will be present in DAI as well.

As for more, I do not want a conflict that dominates the setting to the same extent as the Reaper conflict has dominated the MEU. One problem is that all other conflicts become less relevant, except for how they contribute to the solution of the bigger one. This has worked reasonably well in ME, but it also gave its story a narrow focus. Thedas feels more like a natural setting compared to the MEU, where everything was important only in regard to the actions of the protagonist.

I don't actually think it's going to be called "Dragon Age". I think DA:I is going to be the end of the Dragon Age, and the next game in this setting is going to take place in whatever the next Age is.

[Itzsj]

Any news at all so far about a 4th installment to the series? That it will exist at some point of time in distant future?

[9TailsFox]

DA:I starts 9:40 +1-2 something I doubt DA:I take 60 years period, we have 1 or 2 maybe even 3 games in DA. But DA:I not even released so it's to soon to talk.

On top of that the Dev's have said DA:I isn't the last Dragon Age game, so it would be a little redundant to call a game "dragon age: _____" when it's not in the dragon age.

Tevinter slave rebellion, or an all Dwarf game about the Dwarves trying to reclaim their lost Thaigs and glory but they wouldn't make a Dwarf only game T_T (proud 5% woo!)

[Black Jimmy]

THe Inquisition has gone bad. You and a ragtag bunch of misfits must bring it down.

 

Final Boss: The Inquisitor and 3 of his companions. (The rest are bosses at other points in the game)

[Monster A-Go Go]

I am inclined to agree that the next game will probably center around religious strife, presented primarily through a Qunari invasion.  They've been hinting at a Qunari crusade since the beginning and with Thedas continually battered by Blight, rebellion, and demonic invasion - leaving the military depleted and scattered and the population shaken and craving order - it is an almost ideal time to strike. 

 

Of course, this would force reaction from the controlling religious interest in Thedas - the Chantry - who would likely orchestrate an Exalted March.  But the Chantry is a fractured and weakened organization by this point.  Its mages and templars have shifted away from a long established structure, the Tevinter and Orlaisian sects have been at odds for forever, and who knows what the events of Inquisition will teach us about the Fade, Andraste, and the Chantry mythology.  Rallying their military might will be difficult considering their state of decline.

 

Unfolding from all of this, I can also see the seeds for the fifth (and potentially final game), as we may be given enough religious and historical information to better understand the Old Gods, the Forgotten Ones, and the rest of the theistic mythos.  After all, the Qunari have been living on Par Vollen, the land of human origin, for a long time.  As far as I know, the idea of the Maker originated with humans, so who knows what ancient truths the Qunari have uncovered about pre-Andrastian faith and the worship of the Old Gods and a still-present Maker.

 

And since I touched on it, I think the fifth game (if it is indeed the final one), will focus on the end of the tumultuous Dragon Age as its years wind down in a state of chaos, strife, and internal war.  It is here that we'll learn a great many truths as we seek to restore some order.  I can see the whispers of a new Blight and an encounter with an uncorrupted Old God, a visit to the Black City, and will witness the result of Flemmeth's machinations - an ultimate move of power from the ultimate shadow player - that will change the world for good just as the Dragon Age expires and the new age begins.

They shall submit to the Qun.

 

THE GAME!
