With the ending, is this really a serious question?

Some of the dev team has expressed interest in a drastic change of scenery, setting the game somewhere in northern Thedas. I've heard Tevinter, Rivain, and Serehon thrown around, and the Anderfels remain a popular vote from the fans(for reasons I cannot begin to fathom).
The interest seems to be showing us new environments and a different side of Thedas' culture than the Chantry-dominated areas we've already experienced.

I seriously doubt Tevinter... IMO too many landmines to skirt around on that one.
Rivain, would be cool heard about its culture would be intresting to have something go there.
The problem woudl be what to do about the 'big bad' which BW seems to like to use.

DAI was technically on the drawing board before DA2 was released. I'd imagine that the devs are devoting at least a little energy into the next full game. It's probably not a priority, though.
I also think a six year dev time is unlikely, given that the first three games of the series were released in a five year time span. I doubt development on DA4 will be as short as DA2, but I would be amazed if it took until 2020.

I don't think Bioware is as married to the concept of the big bad as the fandom is. DA2 was a game devoted to subverting the concept of the big bad, and the fandom turned on it.

I expect (hope) we'll get DLC/Expansion stuff for Inquisition for like a year and a half, then ME4 will launch, then we'll see DA4 in late 2016 to 2017..
I hope we'll get more Solas dlc/expansion stuff, as well as maybe see some places in the Free Marches (that aren't Kirkwall.)
As for DA4, I'm hoping it'll be Qunari centered. Maybe involving a biiig war, and of course the old elven gods.

2020? Faaaaaaaark.
I have no clue as to where in Thedas this is going to be based, but wouldn't it be awesome if all regions were featured? Makes sense, especially if it's another "got to save the world" scenario. But who's to say that Bioware doesn't surprise us and creates a transient story similar to Dragon Age 2? A stepping stone to upcoming major events....
My theory, however is a little like this. Don't read if you haven't completed the game.
I've always been sus on Flemeth, and though she plays minor roles in all games, she's the most consistent, so it would make sense that she's going to be the ultimate villain? (Even though she always seems to be there to help at the right time) however, it isn't for benevolent or honest reasons. Each time, she is using our heroes as tools to satisfy her own ends.
Straight off the bat I figured out that Flemeth's desire to take over her daughters' bodies is very similar to what Corypheus does. Alarm bells are going off.
She confesses that she is Mythal, so technically, the old elven lore isn't as it seems and I have a feeling that the Andrastrian lore is the same kind of deal.
My prediction is that there will come a point where either 1. We find out there is actually no Maker and the whole chantry/religious set up is a whole lot of BS created and used as a tool to control the people or 2. Same thing, but it's up in the air. Nobody finds out whether the Maker is real or not.
I believe Flemeth is the one who created blights, darkspawn, etc. It doesn't make sense on the surface, considering she encourages the Wardens to end the blight. But I looked at it this way -- perhaps she didn't want the world to end right there and then, perhaps she just gets kicks out of chaos and conflict? For a being as power hungry as she is, it's all a game to her. Thedas is a chess board (or war table) and she pushes important characters around, manipulating them to her ends. Directly, and indirectly. If she really wanted to, she could end the mage control, destroy the Templars, set fire to all nobles and their fancy castles. But why isn't she?
She enjoys the chaos, and allows it to go on as a means of distraction. Nobody would care about an evil god wanting to take over the world when it's much more stimulating to believe in Andraste, the Maker, fight in wars/arguments over who's the better party, mages or Templars, etc?
But Flemeth effed up, working with Solas and it resulted in Cory getting the orb, which originally, was her means of becoming as God and taking over the world. So naturally, she turns to the Inquisitor to fix her problems for her rather than deal with it herself -- Inquisitor destroys Corypheus, so now she is free to pursue her personal goal.
I don't think we'll play as our Inquisitor next time round. It's just very un-Bioware to do that. But basically, we'll create another nameless hero turned responsible leader, and we'll probably be taking on the mighty Flemeth.

... we are still in the DAI era of expansion... DA4 isnt on the drawing board til 2017-018 at least add in dev time it not here til 2020 or 2021
DA:O was released in November of 2009. 5 years later thay had 2 full additional games and an expansion pack out. Do you really think they are going to sit around for 2 years before starting on the next game and not have anything out for 6 years?
The story for DA4 is in design now. DLC for Inquisition will stretch this game another year or two, tops (including at least one "premium" DLC expansion) but I expect to see the next full game out by years end, 2017.

Given how nearly completely destroyed the Wardens are at the end of Inquisition I'm wondering if they're setting themselves up for a story of a plucky Warden recruit rebuilding the order in the Anderfels. Because rebuilding ancient orders accounts for 75% of DA plots.
I would like them to give the low key DA2 thing another go, but I can't see it happening.

Since we just messed up with very important DA dynamics like the circle-templars one or even, like you said, the warden presence in the south I can see the next game moving to a far away, somewhat isolated location while those things get back to a more "canon" state from which they can build DA5.
I really don't expect them to throw away such important elements forever, so having a game in between would a good way to be able to put things back in order without too much muh choices didn't matter drama.

There will probably be a whole new generation of gaming consoles by the time the next DA comes out. I know that I will more than likely be upgrading my PC again by the time a new DA comes out. I have my mind set more so on DLC for DA:I right now. Lol

I have two predictions about DA4.
1. It will be set further north than previous games.
2. It will be out in 2017. They only look three years to make DAI, I can't see them getting longer than that for the next game, especially since they're unlikely to switch engines again so soon.

No its not this game game has tons of dlc for it and a expansion. This game will be the focus of Bioware for the next 2 years and then its Mass Effect 4 and later like in 2020 DA4 is in design.

Dont you think it will be faster to make another DA game, considering BW are getting better and better at programming on Frostbite Engine?
I am hoping for ME4 early 2016 release, with DA4 being released late 2017-possibly early 2018.
I hope we get ME or DA every second year. The wait between ME3 and DAI was hellish.

its probably easier to blame the whole company rather than. "The mass effect studio dropped the ball blah blah" "the DA studio is forcing me to be a templar blah blah"Then why do people here critique all of bioware for failing in any of the series?
Its shorthand
