I agree with the OP. Not at all interested in multi player and I fear if they ever did introduce it, it would damage the uniqueness of the franchise.
Why? There are plenty of single player only games out there, let alone single player only RPGs in a medieval themed universe. In fact, I can't think of ONE medieval themed RPG that has competitive multiplayer. If anything, it would make them more unique.

Yeah but most MMO's are medieval themed. And they have those out the wazoo.
The whole point of the medieval single player game is to get away from the MMO style of games. I tried MMO's back in the day, starting with Everquest. I never liked it. Then I discovered all the old Elder Scrolls games. A rep at Babbages said, "It's the offline online gaming experience." Meaning, you don't have to socialize with a single person, but the game is huge and expansive and non-linear. It has choices and you can shape your experience - just as people do in MMO's.
And yeah... I realize multiplayer is a bit different from MMO's, but it isn't entirely different. The socialization aspect is the key ingredient, which is the same ingredient used in MMO appeal.
It's a fallacy to assume that a game with a multiplayer mode can't also have an excellent and satisfying singleplayer experience.
If what they've shown of DA:I is interesting and exciting to you at this point, nothing they might announce about multiplayer should change that.
The singleplayer won't magically be undermined because of the presence of multiplayer code on the disc.

I'm with you on not enjoying MMO's. I can't stand em'. I tried World of Warcraft a few times, but it just seems really shabby with primitive story and combat mechanics. I've enjoyed the Elder Scroll series since Morrowind for that same reason. I'm going to also enjoy Dragon Age Inquisition's single player for the same reason, but I wouldn't mind if there was a completely separate multiplayer experience to enjoy to keep things fresh after my second or third play through of the main game.
Either way, if they are announcing it soon, it means they already developed it and it hasn't seemed to detract from what we've seen of the main game at all.
Please keep multiplayer disease far away from Dragon Age. 
I dislike mp too but to those who like it I hope they enjoy it if it is presant just because I do not wish to use mp dose not mean everyone else feels the same way
Multiplayer and singleplayer don't coexist well. These are totally different experiences. Such kind of combination would damage Dragon Age severely. Long term consequences would be obviously negative.Look at Mass Effect 3. Multiplayer influenced singleplayer in a very transparent and negative way. And this game is mostly known from weak scenario in singleplayer and successful multiplayer. Therefore next Mass Effect will be probably focused around multiplayer even more. Obviously it's nothing good for singleplayer fans.Please keep multiplayer disease far away from Dragon Age.
False. MP was the game's saving grace, that managed to save it from absolute failure. And the hell does "Long term consequences would be obviously negative." mean? Adding longevity to a game is a bad thing? Since when?

You answered your own question. If a game that is supposed to be singleplayer experience has to be "saved" by multiplayer then it doesn't look promising for future games in this series.

How?
I am personally against MP for games like Dragon Age simply because I feel like it does not realistically fit in that kind of genre at all. Now, don't get me wrong I do not hate MP I actually did enjoy MP for ME3 but I enjoyed the SP experience even more so in some circumstances I am not against MP. So if there is MP which I would prefer to stick to ESO or some other games like that, it cannot affect the SP experience AT ALL. I mean literally MP cannot have certain bonuses or special content, or in any way, shape, or form affect the story or anything else; because for the people who don't play MP will get screwed over*now don't get me wrong it's there choice*.
Bioware is not stupid and I love Bioware so I hope for them to either not include MP or do it to the point where it does not affect the SP at all. You add the fact that there are a lot more consumers who DO NOT want MP versus those who do, now I know there are a lot of people who do want MP but in my opinion those who do are outnumbered by those who don't. So using that information it would be a terrible idea because sales would plummet and it would be extremely difficult for them to recover from. I think this is basically Elder Scrolls all over again, Bethesda were smart and made a MMO rather than making another ESO with MP.
So trust me I understand why people want MP but if there is MP and if it is not done correctly then the DA series will sink and hell Bioware even. I hope this did not offend anyone because I was trying to be logical with my opinion and not trying to rip out the throats of people who do want MP 
I feel that people don't believe that Bioware is incapable of learning from past mistakes. They obviously are not going to include a serious EASTER EGG at the end of the game because people have erroneously believed it to be a separate ending unto itself. if you remove that Easter Egg than you have it so the ME3 SP was not connected to MP in a significant way at all.
The budgets and resources (people and time) are separate for SP and MP, this has been confirmed multiple times.
I for one enjoyed 99% of the ME3 SP campaign. I don't understand how less than 10% of a game can ruin the entire thing. they even did something rare in the gaming industry and did their best to try to fix it. for free.
Also there are many people here assuming that they speak for the majority. when you have solid numbers, official recognition and a freaking business card then come back and tell me that your opinion is the prevailing one. until then I assume that Bioware knows what they are doing when it comes to making a popular game.

Sorry, but your opinion is not "information", it's a belief.
Companies like Electronic Arts invest millions of dollars in understanding their audience, they have whole teams of people who do nothing but analyse sales trends and do market research.
They have a much better idea of what consumers want than you or I will ever have.

Not really. It's simply a case of a single player experience being so disappointing that a generic horde mode MP blows it out of the water. The fault lies within the design of the base game itself, and a simple addition cannot "fix" the campaign, but only salvage the game in its entirety. Yours is a flawed point: ME3's campaign was not bad BECAUSE of the existence of MP, but because of questionable choices during development. Is it so hard to understand?
There would be a different team working on it, and it would have no impact on SP.
they said the same thing about ME3 and look how that turned out
I for one hope it is multiplayer.
Anything that will keep me playing the game longer and justify spending $60 is good in my opinion.

It's kind of insulting that you think they are incapable of learning from the mistake of adding an Easter Egg that causes people to overreact.

I misworded my statement, my apologies 
Regarding, EA I am not one of those people who scoff or scream when they see that name or hear it but I care little for EA because they screwed over DA2 and while that is the only thing that I really don't like them for I know a lot of people who hate them for other games. EA at least to me have proved that they care little about the fans and all they want is the money, don't get me wrong they are business and I think some people forget that but they are going to sink Bioware and all their other studios if they are foolish. One thing that makes me happy and gives me hope for EA is the fact they extended the time for DAI, so they did learn from their mistake with DA2.
Also could someone please tell me what the whole drama with ME3 was. I only got the whole ME series recently, so I have all the DLC and patches...which means I do not know what would had made so many fans angry. I hear that the ending was bad in the regards that offered no closure but other than that I have not heard anything else.
I am going to play DAI regardless, I preordered the Inquisitor edition so it's not like I am not going to play it if MP is included....well it may make me disappointed if it affects the SP experience and make my time with the game so much shorter when it comes to Origins and DA2; but I am still going to play it...I hope only future information will tell if I will or not.
I want an official word. But IMO you would have to be pretty dense to not think theres going to be MP after ME3 and how it's MP was received. On the same token....if they were excited about it and proud of it they would have said it early. The silence is.....confusing. And very annoying for those gamers that are more MP oriented and this information may let them know to move on to other games or get excited for this one. TBH I think its a really crappy way to treat your fans. It is either in the game or its not....and you didn't just complete it start to finish a week ago....its been there for a WHILE. What do you gain by just sitting on it? Lame.

for the first part: People have said for a long time now that EA is going to sink if they continue to focus on money and not fan satisfaction. Last I checked they are still one of the biggest Video Game companies in the world.
I encourage you to finish the series and develop your own opinion about the ME3 ending but here is a summary of the controversy.
For the second part: People were angry because the original ending for ME3 was kind of short and anticlimactic, they were also upset because before patches an Easter Egg at the very end of the game could only be unlocked through multiplayer and they were treating it as an ending unto itself. In the end it was intended as a little bit of fan service and was misconstrued by some overzealous fans.

never underestimate the power of suspense.

I have the game pre ordered and ready to go...I'm going to play it no doubt. It's just if it doesn't offer MP I will probably be picking it up in the bargin bin and not going through with my preorder. I like posting here....but this information is the reason I signed up on the site lol. I will know soon enough though. Even if they don't announce once some of the cooler people on youtube get ahold of it they will let us know (of course thats prob 2 months away).

True, they are but they are certainly one of the most hated, lol! I think they were voted as one of the worst companies in like 2013 or 2012? I am just against their actions and their decisions with DA3.
Oh I already finished the series and I absolutely love it! I chose the Destroy ending with my Femshep and Control ending with my Maleshep...I didn't/don't trust Synthesis because I think it was exactly what the Reapers/Intelligence really wanted.
Ah I could see why people were/are upset about the MP for ME3...since I got it later I never had an experience like that, I just find the MP entertaining when I want to play Online and boring when I don't.
