You've ended the demon invasion. The question is: What do you do know? The obvious answer is to try to consolidate the power of the inquistition. However, this proves difficult. Now that the threat has passed, your former allies have become less supportive of you. Furthermore, the old powerplayers are back in town. Mainly the Chantry. Unless you were allied to the Chantry and/or Templar, they will try remove you. To add to the chaos, the Qunari are invading.

 

In the end, you realise you have three options. The first is to ally yourself with one of the powerful factions: the Chantry, Tevinter or the Qunari. The second is to disband the inquistion and flee. And the third is to stand your ground alongside the Elves or the Mages.

 

For example: If you romanced Sera and founded an Elven nation in Orlais, you'll have two options. The first will be to flee and live happily ever after with Sera in Antiva - if she's willing to come with you. The second is to die while valiantly defending the Elven nation against Orlai and the Chantry.

 

If you instead romanced the Iron Bull and supported the Qun, you may chose to join the invading Qunari forces. Or you may help the Chantry quell the Mage rebellion and become one of the leaders of the new Seekers. 

 

Similar to the ending of DA2, it is likely that your choices will antagonise some of your former party members. This will not be a story of triumph, but a story of failure, sacrifice, defeat, compromise and broken friendships. Will you fight for your legacy - whatever that is - or will you simply flee?

 

What do you people think? I felt the Awekening expansion was rather underwhelming, because your were fighting an enemy that felt less dangerous than the one you'd already defeated. Something like this would, in my opinion, be more interesting. One of the things that made the MotB expansion so good, was that it was so much darker than the orginal NWN2 campaign. You immidiately went from triumphant hero back to struggeling underdog.

There's too many weird variables for that to work.... I do hope there is an expansion that deals with the Qunari more in-depth (unless the Vanilla game does)

I'm thinking a fairly short expansion, but with lots of variations. It could have a fairly linear star, but branch out towards the end. The locations and characters would mostly be from the vanilla game, making it relatively easy and cheap to make.

Sounds too much like Dragon Age II to me.

That's kind of par for the course with expansions. The story is generally centred around a considerable threat that wasn't big enough to justify a whole game to deal with.

I am not familiar with the history of the idea of an "Inquisition" in the Dragon Age setting but one would hope it is a task built institution. Once it has served its purpose perhaps as an institution that crosses nations and has its own law, its probably best that it does break itself apart and cede its resources to the various nations, city states and institutions that are the normal authorities in there respective territories as the potential for harm in a non emergency setting is significant.

 

Perhaps it could develop into a kind of league of nations or Interpol. Not sure about what type of expansions I would hope for, would need to play the game to get a feeling of the ways things could develop.

There won't be any expansions.

Mage vs Templar conflict.....  do not read this if don't want to know.

 

 

Spoiler

will be decided and taken care of pretty quickly and early within the context of the story

 

 

Also, would really only have to deal with Qunari invasion mostly, which most likely wont be a DLC, that most likely will be a game in itself.

In an interview, Laidlaw said that they already have a broad plot pathway reaching as far as Dragon age 5. Any expansion packs will likely be used to either bridge gaps to the 4th installment, or expand on conflicts already within the game. It seems unlikely that they would introduce a huge new conflict unless it already fits into their vision for the series.

 

Edit: Also, I believe they stated Iron Bull was a leader of a mercenary band prior to the Inquisition, and therefore was probably only ever Kossith or Tal-Vashoth

[LonewandererD]

Iron bull was a mercenary leader so one would assume he was Tal-Vashoth or Vashoth (Kossith is no longer a thing, its an antiquated term) but he is in fact a member of the Ben-Hassrath posing as a mercenary to gather intel. As for expansions I doubt it will involve the Qunari that seems like something that might be better addressed when we reach somewhere like Tevinter or Seheron.

 

What might work is dealing with the conflict in Rivaini, before the start of the war the Seekers called for an annulment of the Rivaini circle of Magi and IIRC the circle is still under siege. This could have more complexity and weight as the Seers of Rivaini, who are mages, have deep cultural significance in their homeland so its not a case of two third parties warring it out, it be seen as a (former) branch of the Chantry possibly going to war with a whole culture because of the Mage-Templar war which might be a more appropriate setting for the Inquisition.
