Just an FYI: I don't know how DA:I ends, so please don't post a spoiler regarding that. I haven't finished the game yet. 

 

Do you think it's possible that our Inquisitors will continue to be the main character in the next two games? (If they develop the next two games. BioWare said there was a potential for a total of five Dragon Age games. If someone can find the source on that, I'd appreciate it.)

 

I'd really love for my Inquisitor(s) to continue on in the franchise rather than make a brand new hero each time. I became pretty attached to Shepard throughout Mass Effect. But the Inquisitor is even better than Shepard, in my opinion, because you can make up to 8 different Inquisitors. (Shepard only had two options - a man or woman.) 

 

So will Dragon Age #3 through #5 involve a lengthy, ongoing adventure with your Inquisition hero? I truly hope so. Getting to know my protag over and over again? Sure, that has its charm. 

 

But... I want to be with my Inquisitor for the long haul.  :wub:

I'm almost certain that's their plan. I guess a lot of it depends on the sales figures of DA:I, though...

I have a feeling the Inquisitor will be the new Shepherd... There's obviously going to be another Blight at some point so Darkspawn can make a return, the Qunari will invade and the Elves will rise up to take their homeland. That could easily be covered in the next two games.

I really hope they don't bring the Inquisitor back. I like my Inquisitor, but I want a shiny new protagonist with a new voice and everything. 

 

Although the Inquisitor being the protagonist again would save them from being relegated to Just Another Contrived Cameo....

Haven't beat the game yet so I don't know if that's what hinted at but I'd like a new hero. I like that idea about each DA game being about someone new but I wouldn't hate it if we continued as the Inquisitor. I suppose it saves Bioware the trouble of having to make the next hero go through the same trails to get a base since I don't think the next DA game will go back to us being a nobody or a travelling hero.

 

I suppose the Inquisition can adapt to new threats that threaten Thedas too so their involvement can make sense for new problems that arise but we'll see.

I also read somewhere that in the DA Keep you will be able to "save your Inquisitor's DNA" which will allow for sharing his or her face codes. I assume this isn't the only reason you will be "saving DNA" - my assumption is that she or he will carry over to the next few games.

 

You are correct about sales. I hope they do well because I want to see the next two games. ::crosses fingers::

 

I really want to play my Inquisitor again and again. :D

I kind of hope not. While he same protagonist thing worked for ME I don't think it would work for DA. IIRC the developers have also said the protagonist for DA is Thedas itself not one single character.

 

I also think it's unlikely as they've had a different protagonist for each game, why would they stop now? 

 

Edit: Not that I'm against former protagonists returning, that I'd like. I kind of want to tie up each of my protagonists stories before the end.

I guess from where I'm sitting, I see creating a new protagonist each time as a loop. A loop that repositions us back into that same starting point of "build your reluctant mystery hero up from the beginning - make characters get to know her/him" - rather than continuing forward with a character who has a solid rapport (be it good or bad) with the whole of Thedas. 

 

For example.... I already got to know Varric in DA2. But then I had to get to know Varric all over again in DAI. But I already know Varric as the player, so getting to know him over again was a little repetitive. The same goes for Cullen, Leliana, Morrigan, Dagna - all those recurring characters. 

 

If characters are recurring but our protagonist is new each and every time, then conversation-wise it's going to feel like Bill Murray's "Ground Hog Day" with each game.

I think it makes sense, there's no way the story of the Inquisition is done yet surely? I mean it's only just been created. I'd expect they'd use the organisation and its leader to do something about the state of the world, the reforming that needs to be done and the subjugating of those who don't want the reforms.

 

Otherwise I can't really see the point of it.

I'm the opposite, I hope not. Mainly because I think each game should stand alone, and also because new characters and new settings means they can offer more choice and variance in the previous game. You can't have a "warden sacrifice" ending if the warden goes into the next game, for example.

I don't really care, it depends on the context/story. (I didn't finish the game yet so I know nothing about the ending)

 

If they want to make another world ending menace and we have to stop it, then I really think they should move on to another era, because DA is kinda pushing it, 2 world menaces in only 10 years is kinda... Unbelievable? Adding a 3rd one a few years later after Inquisition... I don't know, I just feel that people of Thedas should start building bunkers if it comes down to that.

 

If they make another kind of story, about Qunari invasion for example, then why not? The Inquisition could take part on that war.

I wouldn't mind the next Bioware RPG game to be about a wandering hero/villain to be honest. The whole "famous hero of the land" thing is getting tired.

Unless it's your first Bioware game. Then it is probably awesome!

I'd prefer it if the next game had a new protagonist that was not the savior of everything.

A villain - I like that.

How old would that make the warden?

I would like to play an Old God who has no idea that he's an Old God, yet. It would be lovely to see young Flemeth, too.

There's obviously going to be another Blight at some point so Darkspawn can make a return.

 

I hope not. I want to explore the darkspawn plot again, but it needs to be different. We need followup on Corypheus and we should be going after the darkspawn in the deep roads. What if we found an old god before the darkspawn did? Then we could learn if they are already corrupt or if it is the darkspawn that corrupt them.

That was DA:2 and they did it poorly. One of the reasons it didn't work was because it wasn't billed that way. If players went in expecting that kind of story, maybe it would have been better received.

I would be incredibly disappointed if they turned the Inquisitor into the new Shepard.  One of the things that I very much enjoy about the DA series is the ability to create characters and see how the world interacts with them.  There would be too many limitations in place with that too.  There would be an obligation to account for every companion.  Why aren't they with the Inquisitor now?  What happened?  All of the LI's would need to be accounted for or people would lose their minds.  Why aren't we at Skyhold anymore?  Is it just going to be a Normandy in ME2 all over again?

 

DA works because it's THEDAS' story, not an individual's story.  We get to see the world from different perspectives and from within different organizations from different countries.  Limiting it to a single character would take something very important away from it.

So we'd start the next game at high level? I can see that working once, but twice? ME got away with it by resetting Shepard at the beginning of ME2.

Please no.

 

Just move the plot forward 10 years, give us a new character and be done with it.

 

Oh, and GIFF ORIGIN STORIES!11!!

As someone who has beaten the game and considering what happens at the end I'd say it would be really strange if they started another game/expansion without the Inquisitor - "our" story is not done yet. As it is we'll probably stay with our Inquisitors for a while in my view (Don't know however if it's enough to justify another brand new game with him/her).

Bioware has stated on numerous occasions that there isn't a single protagonist for the DA series, it will be new ones in every title. They want to tell the story of the world, rather than a particular character. I quite like that approach as its different from the Mass Effect series. I don't think they'll be deviating from it anytime soon.
