Yes, but I'm pretty sure they've also said they'll only do smaller story DLC, not full expansions.

 

They could have just meant that they'll only do new content that adds to the existing campaign, rather than creating an entirely separate campaign with its own party members, saves, and possible main character. Awakening's implementation was iffy. Saves had to be imported into it as if it were a separate game, and nothing you did in it would import back to the main campaign (obviously).

 

In Inquisition it wouldn't make sense to have an expansion like that. It's open world and navigable post-ending. It makes much more sense to simply add new areas, missions and plots to what's already there.

[KyndredRaven]

I would pay through the nose for any DLC or expansions for this game. Gimme gimme!

I made a topic like this over in Scuttlebutt and most of the people who replied were against the idea unfortunately, but I would be friggin' ecstatic if this were the case! Of the three DA games so far, the Inquisitor has been my favorite lead by far, and part of that is maybe the party, I enjoy the companions in this even moreso than in Origins or DA2, but I also love the variety in ways you can play the Inquisitor, and how different he/she feels depending on race, class, etc. It would be amazing as well if you could continue your romance through the next game, like Mass Effect, but sadly I think this isn't going to happen ;( I'll have to continue to ride the Bull in my dreams!

I'd really, really like another game with the Inquisitor. Inquisition's end left a lot of loose ends and it was generally a pretty open ending. I'd like to get one more game to wrap most of those things up with the Inquisitor, and then the fifth and final game bringing it all together.

 

There's not much bigger that you can get than the Inquisitor in terms of power as a protagonist, so if there's a new protagonist, they'd have to go down again in power. I liked how Inquisition was not just about being the ultimate leader but also the journey to becoming one.

 

I think it'd be nice to slow down and have another game on the Inquisitor. 5 protagonists by the end seems like a bit too much. Can't tell if they know for sure what they're going to do with the Warden and Hawke anyway, since the Warden was just referenced + sent a general letter and Hawke is at Weisshaupt, or on the run again.

 

Also, dat still unrevealed Inquisition feature in the Keep.

[Costin_Razvan]

I would prefer the next DA to feature the same protagonist. They couldn't have the Warden in DA2 since they wanted to go with a voice and they couldn't do Hawke again...because DA2 was a complete and utter failure for them.

 

DA:I is successful and the Inquisitor is the best protagonist they've had in years.

How do you know the games are going north?

 

I believe it was Laidlaw who expressed interest in moving the next game to Rivain or Tevinter, somewhere up north and far away from Thedas society as we know it.

 

Personally I'm all for the shift. Gets us out of the purview of the previous protagonists, shows us a whole new side of the world with fresh cultures and environments. 

[Dark Helmet]

No to the Inquisitor as protagonist in DA4.

 

Yes to A LOT of story DLC or expansions.

I've been waiting for Tevinter since dao, fingers crossed

[Chaos17]

Imo, I would've prefered to stick to one character like in Mass effect trilogy because each time we have to go through dialogs about the lore, like if we were new players.

But, yes, that would mean that warden has not have to die on the archdemon and that possible since there were many other sacrifices like no letting Riordan die like an idot by jumping from the top of a tower, lol.

 

So after DAO, the warden will try to rebuilt the order (or at least help) wich will turn into the inquisition in DA 3.

DA awekeing will stay the same because we need a connection with Ander.

Then years later, DA 2, the warden will go to Kirwall to invistage about the corruption of wardens, meeting again Ander who will drag the warden into the war of mages vs templar. Hawke would be a companion instead of the MC because we need him/her to make the link with Corypheus.

Then in DA 3, the warden gone to the conclave because he/she was invited by Leliana.

Warden survived the Fade at the begining because he/she was used to it thanks to DAO.

Warden accept to help Cassandra build the inquisition by turning his/her order into it with the condittion to be able to leave when it's all finished because the purpose of the warden is to fight the evil demons.

 

We will still see Cassandra in DA2 because she is searching for Warden, a super hero who resolved the blight and "saved" Kirkwall.

 

The benefit of this fiction would be to get a consistent world with regular returning characters for cameos.

Also to be able to carry over the romance and see it grow through time or break because people have different opinions on different matters.

That would've letted us the choice to keep Leliana not hardened and just be in love with the warden for example or see a heartborken reunion with Morrigan where the warden will see his child, etc...

 

So for me that would've been so awesome to see a rooki warden getting power with each new episode until he/she become a real leader/ruler.

It's a bit annoying to always have a total new rooki every time. I usually don't mind but in this serie I regret to not have been able to keep my warden.

I'm in favor of it, but more because I think they'd mess up something again than because I want to play more as the Inquisitor, though I do want that too. Too many uber powerful previous PCs around will cause problems. Hell it sorta has already. So during this game the Warden (if alive) was searching for a way to survive the Taint, ok makes sense, I'd do that if I could choose, I don't wanna die. But come DA4 what will s/he be doing ? S/he can't search forever. And Hawke, besides various aesthetic and persona issues, does what ? Stands point at the ritual tower (aka, do nothing), helps on the ramparts of Adamant (Hawke just helps, really ? and not even all the ramparts since we clear part of them too, I expect someone of that caliber to solo whatever task they're given, no just help a bit) and (if you choose) stay behind in the fade to face the nightmare demon, and proceed to die in seconds like a chump after flailing her weapon like a ******. Seriously ? 

 

And the Inquisitor is a much less rigid character than Hawke, you can't just put a "nice/funny/blunt" checkbox in the Keep for them. And they're arguably the politically most powerful person in the world, on top of being one of the martially most powerful persons in the world, that's not someone you can "mysteriously disappear" or otherwise get rid of or ignore. I guess if you set DA4 up north and find a good excuse that we never get enough news from Ferelden and Orlais to know what the Inquisition is doing, then it could maybe work, but the stakes would need to be limited too.

That's one of my main reasons, Too many main characters means that all of Thedas' problems should've been solved ages ago.

[NugHugs]

Hope so . . kinda felt like the Inquisition order was just getting started post game, or at least that's what the dialogue implied

[daveliam]

No to the Inquisitor as protagonist in DA4.

 

Yes to A LOT of story DLC or expansions.

 

This.  I'm all for exploring the Inquisitor's story in DLC and an expansion.  I'm not even remotely interested in seeing the Inquisitor become the "protagonist" for DA.  That gets too close to Dragon Effect.  Or Mass Age for me.  They've stated that they see the DA games as Thedas' story, not that of one PC.  I'd like to see that trend continue and give us a new PC in the next game.  If the Inquisitor becomes a major NPC, like Hawke, I'd be okay with that, I suppose, as a compromise.

The Inquisitor better get a better resolution though.

 

Poor Hawke kind of got the **** end of the stick in that department.

Hawke got a pretty clear resolution in my playthough....... (Well, there is that damned "likely" in the choice, I guess.....)

 

And it was exactly how I wanted it to end for Hawke. 

[Esteed789]

The devs said years ago that Dragon Age is a series about the world of Thedas, not any one protagonist.  I would like some story DLC with the Inquisitor and the Inquisition, but at this point they really shouldn't change the overall theme of the games being about the world.  It'd be a bit like a football team changing up the playbook while the ball is in play.  If they wanted to do some spin-offs based around a single protagonist that might be cool, though.

[Voragoras]

Nah, I wouldn't want that. Mass Effect was always Shepard's Story, but I like that we can explore Thedas as different player characters with different perspectives, since it doesn't limit us as much. Hawke is still my favourite Dragon Age protagonist, though, because of her flavour text differing depending on the dominant personality.

 

I agree with DLC, though. I totally loved Legacy and Mark of the Assassin and would equally love an expansion alongside those lines for my Inquisitor.

[Pierce Miller]

What if instead of always having the same character we got maybe one sequel for the Inquisitor and then moved on? I really feel like jumping from one MC to the next leaves no time to breathe.

[RobRam10]

And not have a Tevinter protagonist? Never.

[jellobell]

I'd be okay with them going the DLC route if and only if the Inquisitor's story is satisfyingly concluded. But if they're going to have to cut stuff like what happened with DA2, then I'd much rather they incorporate all of those ideas into the next game and keep the Inquisitor as the protagonist. I hate leaving things unfinished, and DA2 left a bad taste in my mouth. Inquisition as well, to a certain extent. If they leave the story as it is right now and have the next protagonist deal with the Wardens and the elven gods then I'm going to be incredibly disappointed. I hate the idea of all of this buildup not going anywhere. The Inquisitor is the one I'm invested in for those plotlines, not some random protagonist I haven't even met yet.

[Sable Rhapsody]

For the two previous DA games, I was pretty happy leaving the Warden and Hawke after their respective games.  I liked Hawke's little cameo in DA:I and the opportunity to wrap up her story with horrible, tearjerking tragedy, but I was fine with having them as NPCs.

 

Not so much for the Inquisitor.  For starters, I know now how the Morrigan romancers felt before Witch Hunt.  So that's a bit of a loose end to say the least.  And I adore the Inquisitor.  More so than the Warden or Hawke, I feel like s/he has unfinished business and more importantly, is in a position of power to deal with that unfinished business personally.

I imagine the story of the Elven gods is part of the story of Thedas, so it's unlikely it'll unfold over one game, let alone one protagonist.  The Wardens I could see a single protagonist handling, assuming they even want to address the Wardens at all.

[BobZilla84]

To me the question isnt do they bring back the Inquisitor to me the question is can the come up with a story that keeps the three key factors that DAI has and owes its success to and those are.

1.An Epic Story

2.The Leader/Management features

3.Race Custimization

 

DA4 without these will be underwhelming in my opinion.

[NoForgiveness]

I wouldn't mind getting another game as a character we've played before but generally I like it switching. I think it makes the world feel alot more... Idk whatever. Take mass effect for example. Shepard is portrayed as the one person that doesn't suck complete ass. Whereas in DA there are tons of people who are heroes or have had their own story.
