The Inquisitor is a plot device not a charecter. He has no story beyond sealing the breach and repeating "Yes I am the Herald of Andraste." or "No I'm not the Herald of Andraste."  10 times. I have to completely  disagree with you Hawke has waaay more personality than the Inquisitor. The voice acting alone for Hawke blows the Inquisitor out of the water. I've played DAI 5 times from beginning to end. I've tried out all the races; the Inquisitor is dull in all of them -- some even more so. Hawke > Inquisitor. HOF > Inquisitor.  

Sorry but main character are both characters and plot devices. Added this is a roleplaying game. You need to make the persona of your character, not let the game do it for you.

I really hope we will get an Inquisitor Trilogy! The thing that made ME great was the emotional attachment that comes with playing the same character with the same companions.

 

In DA:I we get all this amazing setup for the future and all of these great companions, it would just feel so sad not to be the Inquisitor again. Just like OP, I got the same Mass Effect feeling. Being made Inquisitor was like becoming a Spectre and at the end as I stood the lone hero at the balcony gazing off into the distance, it felt both triumphant but also like more was coming, just like the ending of ME1.

 

I get the argument about leveling, but in terms of story it would feel stupid having built up the Inquisition and then it's someone other than the Inquisitor who handles the next crisis.

 

Skyhold! All the companions! Being the Inquisitor was too good for just one game.

 

 

(Also Solas plz come back)

What 3D Inquisitor are you talking about? He says the same thing just with varied wording and a different tone of voice. I know how to Role play, I've played the best RPG games 10 times over. The Inquisitor is one of the most boring protagonists' I've ever played as. If you like him\her that's fine. But the Inquisitor is most likely done. And I for one am glad, because Bioware can and has done better imo.

No they don't. Seriously, you confusing conclusion with the path to it.

Likely zero. If it was someone like hawke maybe but certainly not blank slate inquisitor.

But really, while I did love my inquisitors DA isn't about one signal hero. It's about multiple people changing the world around them.

If the game barely gives you any options you can't make any persona. I could make a persona with Hawke and the Warden. I don't feel that at all with the Inquisitor. 

 

And yes, he does say the same crap. Example:  Morrigan- "Did you by any chance happen to meet the Hero of Ferelden at Adamant?" 

Inquisitor top wheel option-" I'm sorry Morrigan, I didn't see him"

Inquisitor bottom wheel option-" I met no one by that title." different wording, different tone of voice exact same answer.

Barely? This is a game with a heavy religious tone where you can be a atheist. How can you say you don't have a chance to develop your character?

Zero. Bioware has always stated that the DA franchise is about the world, not a character and that they will never repeat protagonists.

I would honestly LOVE another Bioware trilogy where you get to play the same character across three games. You feel so much more connected to your character that way. For some reason, sadly I have my doubts that Bioware will ever take that direction again and that makes me sad, but just look at the fuss over the ME3 endings. Maybe people get too attached to their character across multiple games and don't want to let them go?

You have some choice. I just think what's presented is boring. What do I care if he believes in god or not?  What's the point of this religious turmoil the Inquisitor goes through? There is no point. Want to know why? Because either way there is no defintive proof.  It gets boring really quickly. "Yes I'm Andrastes Herald." "Oh wait maybe I'm not. She didn't smite Corypheus from the Heavens at Haven." "Hmmm, maybe I am. Maybe the Maker acts through me; from behind the scenes?"   "Wait, nope. Not the Herald. Just at the wrong place at the wrong time."  "Did I just win? Maybe I am the Herald?" 

 

In the end, the Makers existence was not proved or disproved.  Waste of time, imo.

I hope they at least do an expansion with the Inquisitor because they've almost written themselves into corner with him.  They've made the Inquisitor so godlike there's really nowhere to go but down so they might as well stick with him for a while.  Let people play god for a couple of games so they can get it out of their system and then Dragon Age can go back to having a somewhat normal protagonist again.  I don't think I want heroes with the Inquisitor's abilities/organization to be the norm in Bioware games and I'd like to play another game with a more personal story like DA2 again one day .

My hope is that DA4 gives players a choice of playing anyone of the 3 previous heroes.  Give HOF a couple decent VA options and people who are bothered by that can opt not to play their past Wardens.

 

I think BW has created quite the dilemma for themselves with the Inquisitor setting them up as the most powerful character leading the most powerful organization in S. Thedas.  Please, BW no more he/she mysteriously disappeared crap...it's tired and doesn't work.  And while you can have a major expansion centralized in other nations and cultures to work around this I don't think you can resolve the larger story arc this way.

I'd say the warden is more likely (and i really hope so, I'd hate to only see him text boxes for the rest of the series because he's so central to the plot). I doubt the inquisitor will be central again though, because hes basically a king or a general now, where the warden is a soldier, well known, but a soldier.

The inquisitor is filthy rich, and has a massive army. 

And truthfully the inquisitor has no reason to care about half the questions from origins that remain unanswered. The best story would involve the warden and the relationships between him and his friends (especially morrigan, who is rediculously central).

 

I'd hate to have a new character every game, meeting everyone for the first time over and over.

I say bring back the warden, using the same system as custom hawke. The graphics will update, the hair might change over the years, but it's totally doable.

There will be dlc, his adventure is far from over.

Unlikey. But I'd love a team up of Hawke and the HOF in DA4.

I really hope we get to play the Inquisitor in future games as well. An Inquisitor trilogy would be awesome. Like others have said, coming back to the same character and interacting with the same companions again and again is what made Mass Effect so great. After one game you can like a character a lot, but after having been close friends with a character for three games and been with them through hell over and over again, you really connect to them on a whole other level. And Inquisition is full of characters I want to connect to on that level.

 

As for Dragon Age being about the world and not a protagonist, why would playing the same character in several games go against that? The focus can still be on exploring new aspects of the world and developing the world in new ways. It doesn't matter if you play as the Inquisitor or a new character in the next game - the story will likely be largely the same anyway. Say, for instance, that Hawke would have been the Inquisitor - how would this game be less about the world and more about the Hawkequisitor? It wouldn't. It would still explore the same new elements of the world, it would still bring the history of Thedas along on a similar trajectory.

I hope zero. The Inquisitor was an exceptionally boring protagonist, mainly because their reactions always tend to remain kind of neutral. I would like to be able to give a more distinctive personality to my next hero.

DLC certainly, but Inquisitor in DA4 I don't see happening.  I wouldn't hate it though, I do get attached to my characters and would like a chance to develop them further.

I would like dorian and cassandra to return either in fairly large roles mostly because each can provide info for tevinter and nevera.

Cullen, any future game needs more Cullen. Only now it wouldn't be the same without my Inquisitor as well. Pleeeassee Bioware, more of the characters we already know and love! :)

I hope not, Inquisitor was a curious mix of blank slate, and highly restrictive, didn't have much personality yet conversation and quest options where very limiting in how you could actually draw on that slate.

It's not some. Near every comment you make has a way to express your character. You have to set up what your character feels, why your character feels that  way, and base responses off of that. And what's the point of this religious turmoil? Have not play the game, the story is a very spiritual one. It's not about if the maker exist or not, it's about how your character feels about they trying times around them and them being at the center of  as well as the truth of events around them.

Speak for yourself, man. My Inquisitor's got ten dudes in mismatched armor in the courtyard and just enough money to buy a used battle nug after she pays to fix the gaping hole in wall that leads to her war room. She hustles scrap metal and spindleweed just to get by. I wanna see her on the true come up.
