Dragon Age wouldn't work if it was a trilogy, honestly I don't want another full game with the inquisitor.

[Gabey5]

I agree that Hawke was supposed to be Dragon age's Shepard. He was too lead the inquistion but he was not popular. I felt they were setting up for a trilogy but changed course.

[cronshaw]

I do not need another trilogy thank you very much.
The land of entertainment is lousy enough with them already.

I can easily see them taking the Inquisitor and turning him/her into the new Shepard. There is always the opportunity to expand the Inquisition's authority to all of Thedas, unfinished business via Inquisition's ending, more conflicts to get involved in (Qunari vs Tevinter/Qunari invasion of the south, Nevarra vs Tevinter war, a new Orlais vs Ferelden war (if Gaspard is emperor). They can easily think of dozens of important tasks the Inquisition could be needed for (or force it's way into). The Inquisitor can be any known race already so character creation is taken care of.

 

They can easily make this the new mass effect if they wanted to.

I hope not, Shepard became a mess and became more and more of a set character the farther ME went.

 

I'd love an expansion like Awakening to continue the story, but nothing beyond that.

Let's get a new character, preferably from the north (or some non-English Free Marcher city) and have the game set in Tevinter or some other place we haven't been before.

Because we need a break from Ferelden.

Dragon Age games have always been standalones.  There are threads that carry over from each one, but each has its own discreet story.  And it should remain that way.  Leave the trilogy stuff to Mass Effect.

[ConquererJim]

Moving North would be a good idea as Tevinter, the Anderfels, and the Qunari lands seem to be the logical place to go next. I personally loved Hawke (who was a female blood mage who manipulated her way to the Vicountess throne of Kirkwall) and would love to see her in future games. The Inquisition can still be a major power working in the background and maybe even Hawke could be a freelance Inquisition agent or one of Cassandra's Seekers dealing with the Magisterium and the Qun. Varric and Dorian should definitely be involved with Cassandra being another returning companion or the issuer of information. Just my two cents. Im onboard with Dragon Age regardless.

I want to see it become a trilogy and I'd like to see the cast remain the same. Having the same cast in several games usually leads to better character development and overall feeling more attached to your companions, which is something I enjoy in a party based game. Cramming it into one game just generally doesn't work out. Same goes for tv shows, books and movies.

[herkles]

the thing I like about dragon age is that I can create different characters for each game. If we go to Rivain or tevinter, I have concepts that work and are more intriguing for those lands then my hawk, inquistor, or my warden.

[Inariele]

personally i would love playing a crow at some point lol

Dragon Age is not a "real" trilogy, not like Mass Effect. And I am glad for this and hope Bioware doesn't try to pull something off like that ever again...

 

It doesn't work to have a trilogy with a connected storyline through three games, ME has shown this. WEll, it might work, IF the devs from start to finish dedicate everything to the story and have a clue from the very start what they want to tell us, how the story will start, progress and finish.

 

Details can be changed, but NOT the overall plot. Things have to ... wait for it ... MATTER as we play the game from start to finish, and you cannot tack on a contrived ending to wrap up the trilogy...

 

Also you CANNOT expect to not alienate newcomers to a trilogy that don't know a middle part or last entry to teh series ("ME3 is the perfect entry-point for new fans of ME-series" ... sorry Bioware, if that's the case, you have wholly failed in storytelling!)

 

So I'll take a new hero, a new story and plot, over such an attempt on a trilogy any time

I wouldn't want to see an inquisition trilogy a la Mass Effect (although I love mass effect) but the inquisitors story has definitely not run it's course. The whole "do another awakening style expansion" is a very sensible idea but, in kin with inquisition....make it HUGE  

[Hanako Ikezawa]

They could do both. With the Breach sealed and Corypheus dealt with, the Inquisition is now about solving other conflicts. Ferelden and Orlais have been taken care of, but the other nations still have serious issues that the Inquisition could address. Most of the companions seem like they are leaving soon for various reasons with only a few staying on, so it opens up a lot of slots for new characters to be introduced.

Since Origins, this series has had a bit of an identity crisis. It went from being a sort of homage to Baldur's Gate with tactical squad based combat and a lengthy campaign, to a smaller scale story with DA2 that focused almost exclusively on Hawke and Kirkwall. Then we got Inquisition, which turned the complete opposite direction of DA2 and became a big open world adventure with possibly the largest scale in the series. All 3 games are pretty different from each other and it doesn't really feel like a true trilogy at all.

 

Because of the post credits cutscene in Inquisition hinting at a possible new conflict for our Inquisitor and the order, I think Inquisition could be a great foundation for a brand new DA trilogy with an Inquisition 2 and 3 that keep focused on the Inquisition. Much like how the Mass Effect trilogy always stayed on track with the Reaper invasion and didn't completely change narrative midway through (ME has a new trilogy already on its way as well). The main problem would be keeping the sense of achievement and progression however, because a direct sequel to Inquisition would mean your Inquisitor would already have a huge order and be at the top. There would also need to be a new threat that could top Corypheus (even if he was a wimp at heart).

 

I think it could work though, even if there would need to be some tweaking so that the Inquisition is still the focus without being overpowered. What do you guys think of Inquisition being the start of a new DA trilogy?

 

No please, dont get them ideas for cheap followups. They shouldnt melk the cashcow DAI.

I want something new, not playing an inquisitor. Like new a story in Tevinter or Golden City or Antiva. I want something completeley fresh!

[Teddie Sage]

Not a trilogy, but maybe something bigger... I feel like it's not the last time we'll hear of the Inquisition.

I agree, but I don't want the whole series to become about the Inquisition.

[Teddie Sage]

I wouldn't mind an expansion.

[dsl08002]

Well i always vote for the warden as PC.

[Kantr]

Shouldn't the next game in the franchise drop the "Dragon"?  This game seemed to imply that the Dragon Age is coming to an end.  I know it's all about branding, so keeping "Dragon Age" in the title makes sense from a marketing perspective, but it can't stay the Dragon Age forever.

For marketing reasons they have to keep that now. 

[Heimdall]

There are 60 more years in the dragon age. In 3 games, we only got through ten and that's because the middle one included a lot of time skips.

No danger of running out of Dragon Age.

60 years to go still.

 

The next series will become something new though when we get there. And they can simply trademark the name to differentiate a change in time.

If dragon age is still going that far down the line I'll be beyond impressed (Assuming they don't do a massive timeskip.

Why wouldn't it though? 

 

If the Keep works the way it should, you can literally make a world last ten plus games down the line. It is like Final Fantasy, but with a consistent world.

I don't think I'd want to play as the Inquisitor again, but I would like to see a Shepard-esque character in DA, if for no other reason than the romances have become stale. Every game, it's the same thing: we meet our LI, flirt with them, sleep with them, allude to living happily ever after, then learn in the next game that actually things have kinda gone to pot for our former protagonist and their partner.

 

I want to see how these guys could expand the romances over a trilogy with a recurring protagonist. We saw how they handled friendships with Garrus and Tali, but the romances... not really. They replaced ME1's LIs with a new cast in ME2, and then brought ME1's cast back for ME3 at the expense of the ME2 romances. It'd be nice if, for once, we were allowed to maintain a relationship through multiple games. There's so much more depth they could give to those relationships if they went beyond just the initial honeymoon period.

The consistent world gets harder to maintain.

Personally I always saw them reaching a conclusion in DA6, DA9 on the outside.
