I don't think they will (or at least I sure as hell hope not). I really hope the next game will have a much more personal story and we get to know our PC a little better instead of being thrown into the action right from the start.

We should play as the Hero of Ferelden in the future Dragon Age games not Inquisitor and not a new hero. Hero of Ferelden could be the Shepard of Dragon Age but Bioware failed to see that opportunity.

 

Aside from the whole "he/she is dead!" that a lot of people who do the whole 'canon playthrough' would complain about.

 

(and rightfully if you're one of those people, I'm not knocking it at all)

I'll probably get hate for this, but in this particular case, I hope we get the Inquisitor again.  We spend the entire game building up the Inquisition's military might and sphere of influence, but hardly ever get proper bearing of just how much it has grown. 

 

I hope that a future Dragon Age game will allow us to once again play as the Inquisitor but also take advantage of the Inquisition as an entity and increase the amount of transparency the player has to it.  If my advisors / companions weren't constantly telling me "the Inquisition is growing" I'd never actually know because it is never something I can actually see in the game.

 

If we change protagonists now, the build up of the Inquisition will feel rather pointless in hindsight.  We have this massive organization with wide reaching influence, the loyalty of numerous powerhouses (no specifics here due to no spoilers), and a big army of its own, yet none of this is ever applied in game.  I am hoping it is applied in future games sometime down the line, though.  It'd be a shame if it is just tossed aside.

Not happening, the best the Inquisitor will get is an expansion. Bioware have stated times and times again that there will be a new protagonist for each DAI entry and that there are 5 games planned.

BioWare Inquisitor again, I hope not. Can the player have their own character instead of a cookie cutter protagonist. very few studios understood the power of choice starts with the players character.

[ORTesc]

I think Jennifer Hale should voice everything.

[Navasha]

I would highly doubt it.   For one, they are pretty much done with Southern Thedas.   Most likely the series will head north now, in my opinion.    Antiva, Nevarra, Rivain, Tevinter, there are so many options.  

 

If I had to place bets, my guess is the next stop is Tevinter and their war with the Qunari.  

[Chuvvy]

I could definitely see it as a set up for a trilogy of sorts, but it would be ****. I'd be more interested to see the inquisitor's story wrapped up in an expansion pack. That's not to say I'd like to have to pay for the real ending, but I'd be okay with the character being sent off in DLC.

 

Similar to what BW had planned to do with Hawke, but never had the chance to because they had to start work on DAI.

[Ser Kilroy]

i like the new hero each game thing. But i wouldn't mind playing as the inquisitor or warden again ( i wouldnt get butthurt about my wardens voice as long he didn't talk like sera ). If we got a new hero in DA4 and its in Nevarra ( which i hope it is ) i could see the inquisitor making a appearance by closing fade rift because are plenty of them in nevarra/antiva as well as other countries.

I'd love to have the Inquisitor back, especially in a game without the "holy icon" ****. I think it would be interesting to see the character move past that and find their own identity and voice, with or without the Inquisition. I'd rather have a well-developed main character than 5 different cookie cutter characters who have no reason to exist after fulfilling their initial purpose.

Besides, having 5 different protagonists for 5 different games (if it gets to that) would be quite...well, just imagine the 5th game, where people are complaining that the warden just sent them another letter, Hawke had another personality change, the Inquisitor is a 3 second cameo and the 4th game protagonist gets mentioned only by a returning companion or random NPC. Well, if they don't all get killed for some convenient reason.

But why does Dragon Age need a Shepard? Origins was wrapped up quite nicely, as far as it's main plot goes. There were unanswered questions about side plots and characters, but the Warden's story was finished well. You also have the possibility of the Ultimate Sacrifice. Now you could compare this to Mass Effect 2 and 3 where you couldn't import to 3 with a dead Shepard, yet dead Shepard was a completely valid win state. However, Dragon Age is a series, but Mass Effect was a trilogy; having Inquisition's mage v templar war be set up by DA2 is the closest the games come to being connected.

Which is why we should let those characters have their well deserved rest and let a new game stand on it's own merits.

Interesting question.  I'm not sure I really LIKE my Inquisitor as much as Hawke and the Warden.  But, I also feel like we built this Inquisition from scratch and didn't really get to see it's full potential and power.  Unless there's some meaty DLCs or an expansion, to just drop the Inquisition feels a bit like a waste of time.  If a new Blight comes or the Qunari invade, I want to believe the Inquisition is going to be around to help significantly.

 

Maybe you keep the Inquisition, but your Inquisitor, for whatever reason, is no longer the main player.

[Andxel]

I don't think that what matters is if the Inquisitor will once again be the protagonist. What really matters is if he'll be in it at all.

 

Regardless of what you think of a returning protagonist, there's no denying the Inquisition is now the most powerful (or one of the most powerful anyways) organization in all Thedas. Something so grand can't just get the spotlight for one game and be ignored for the rest of the saga. Same goes for the leader of such organization if another freakin big threat appears.

It would be like if Shepard and the Normandy crew disappeared after Mass Effect 1.

 

After seeing how small was Hawke's role (in comparison of what I expected from him) in Inquisition and how the HoF didn't even show up (because if you speak of the disappearance of the Champion AND the Warden, players WILL expect them both in the next game)

Bioware really must decide if changing the protagonist every chapter is the wisest thing to do when you're trying to create a more linear storyline (and they ARE trying to create a more linear storyline, just like Inquisition showed us).

 

It's true that there are rumors about Bioware wishing to travel away from southern thedas, but that doesn't mean they have to necessarily get away from already used characters and groups.

I hope that the Inquisitor is not the main character for any more games, only DLC and if there is an expansion. Also, I hope that there aren't old companions making appearances. I am a Varric fan, and a huge Leliana fan. They cannot be forever a part of the game though. Maybe your party can talk about what they are currently doing with whatever choices you made in this game and the previous but for them to travel around finding the new "hero" everytime seems too much. Or just the short Leliana DA:2 cameo, but no bigger role than that.

I think that there's just not enough that was done with either the Inquisition as an institution or with the Inquisitor as a character, who was supposedly this Divine figure. It's not so much that the story didn't wrap up as it is that the story doesn't seem to have satisfactorily wrapped up, largely because winning by the end doesn't feel like much of an achievement given how the Big Bad ™ goes down.

The Inquisitor has a significant advantage over Hawke and the Hero of Ferelden in this respect. The Inquisitor can send representatives, or spies or agents of any sort to meet similar ends. You don't have to have a cameo; you can just have the Inquisition's presence be felt without  having your character actually say things out of your control in-person. It'd be kind of fun to feel like you're on the receiving end of a war table operation.

[wicked cool]

What is in the north besides Tevinter? Are there wardens there? Could we see slavery? Fenris a x-slave and could we be something similar to him?

[TurretSyndrome]

I wish they broke the "new protagonist with every game" rule and just continued with the Inquisitor for a while. I'm just tired of every new protagonist and his choices leaving a gap in the timeline. Then Bioware fills it all up with the same mush which basically results in all consequences turned into some interchangeable text in the codex. 

 

I actually liked having to meet up with characters and reignite the camaraderie in the Mass Effect series, that's what made it cool about those games. I want to see that atleast to some extent in DA. Inquisition is a good start for that. You don't have to start at Skyhold with everybody still there. You can be on investigations somewhere north, setting up the foundation of the organization there personally or some shiznet like that. 

 

So yeah, that's what I'd like to see in DA 4. Smaller scale game, fewer companions(some of them revisiting from Inquisition) but also much less filler and a more focused story. Kind of like DA 2 but without its horrors(don't know if that's possible though ).

Depends how you define "north." You have Tevinter, the Anderfels, Rivain, Antiva, and the Qunari lands that are undeniably north, as well as Nevarra and parts of the Free Marches we haven't been to that are debatably north, if you're talking about north of where we have personally been so far in the games themselves.
