I'd love to see my Inquisitor again, depending on what the story of the next game is. I'm tired of going through an origin story in every game.

 

And according to EA's financial report, Inquisition is Bioware's most successful launch ever. So I think they'll either be considering some serious DLC or a whole new game with the Inquisitor.

 

Dragon Age: Inquisition captivated fans and critics worldwide as it launched in November, and it quickly became the most successful launch in BioWare history. More than 113 million hours have already been spent exploring the depth and detail of the single-player experience in Dragon Age: Inquisition, and more players are joining each day. Named “Game of the Year” by 32 media outlets around the world, including IGN, Game Informer and the Associated Press, Dragon Age: Inquisition is a true masterpiece from the team at BioWare and a game that is sure to be played for a long time to come.

I wouldn't have minded playing the Warden again after DAA.

I wouldn't have minded playing Hawke again after DA2.

I wouldn't mind playing the Inquisitor again after DAI.

 

All had their strengths and weaknesses. I like my Inquisitors very much. That they often haven't as much impact personality-wise as Hawke is something I perceive as an advantage: I can roleplay better and make more subtle distinctions, and I can use the same line to convey different things based on how I approach the conversation. Also, since I usually don't want to play extreme personalities, the range of options I got suits my preferences. Conversations can take a very different turn depending on the differences that exist, and both tone and content can vary considerably beetween the options that exist, so I don't perceive them as meaningless.

(Also, the British female voice has quite a bit of snark here and there. It's just typically understated. I love it).

 

On the other hand, I also agree that sometimes, the distinctions blur into "three variants of the same thing". That is not good, and it's actually hidden autodialogue. This did not happen in character-defining conversation nodes so it's excuseable, but one still notices.

 

As for the OP's question: I do not think we will get to play the Inquisitor again. The main reason is that she's now more of a political figure, and there is little need for her to go out and engage in personal badassery anymore after the rifts have all been closed. She'll be a figure more suited to a strategy game, unless there will be a plot where her uniqueness will be critical, such as an expedition to the Black City, and I don't see that kind of plot coming any time soon, as much as I would like to see and play it.

 

Also, the DA team has hinted that they're likely done with southern Thedas for now. I can't see myself playing the Inquisitor in a story set in Tevinter - yet again, not in a typical rpg, and not unless her fortune changes considerably for the worse - which I wouldn't appreciate.

 

So: no, we won't be playing the Inquisitor again. Regrettable, but I can live with that. The ME trilogy gave me a protagonist that took so much mental effort to make acceptable that I had to admit it's not the type I ever want to play again in the end. DA gave me three protagonists I loved. I wouldn't mind getting another one, since the DA team appears to be good at it. If, against all expectations, an existing one's story is extended, I'm ok with that, too, regardless of who it is. Whatever it is, bring it on, DA team. You haven't disappointed me in anything critical in five years (yes, I hated DA2's combat, but combat is noncritical to me). I'm confident you can do it again.

 

....but please reconsider the paraphrasing.

Now I am all for playing with Warden or Hawke again, but not with the Inq. He was just such a nobody. Literally since nothing of his past/friends/family manifested outside couple of written lines.

[Judas Bock]

Yes- I played all three games I know how it works. My issue is that the "sarcasm" isn't snarky enough and the renegade response wasn't mean/rude enough. It could have been bad delivery, but I really just think the writers made the options too subtle.

The personality options in DA2 were significant and noticeable. They are not that way in this game and the result is a flat personality for the inquisitor.

 

The personality options in DA2 were significant and noticeable, yes, but there were really only three different personalities to choose from. You could be goody-goody diplomatic Hawke, unlikeable aggresive Hawke, or totally insensitive and inappropriate sarcastic Hawke. If you tried to mix responses Hawke often seemed like he had a split personality thing going on because the different options were so distinct.

 

In DAI the options are distinct enough to make a difference in what you're saying, without being different enough to cause your Quizzy to have a split personality. As others have said, it's why you say something as much as how you say it that defines personality, and with DAI I can choose the same response option for various very different reasons, which allows for a greater variation of personalities. I'm into my fourth Inquisitor now, and I have had no problem making each of the four have a clear personality as well as one different from the other three.

I would just like to respond to the bolded section and say that there really wasn't any need for the Inquisitor to engage in personal badassery at any point after the Inquisition was actually up and going. The thing that made the Inquisitor unique is the ability to close rifts, and that is an ability that is truly unique. It would have made a lot more sense to let the Inquisition soldiers go into an area, take care of the problems there, fight off the demons around the rifts in the area, and then just let the Inquisitor stroll in and close them. That would ensure the rifts were sealed without endangering the life of the Inquisitor, which really should not have been endangered, since the mark was needed to close the rifts.

 

Now that the rifts are already dealth with and the mark is more of a symbol (and a badass anti-demon weapon), is the first time I would say that it would actually make sense for the Inquisitor to go out and engage in personal badassery, because now the Inquisitor dying does not mean that the world will quite probably go to ****.

[Wargaron]

I know it is just wishfull thinking but what i would like to see:

 

A huge dlc(possibly expansion) for this game where we controll the hof on his quest to endd the calling.

And in the new game there would be a huge war in tevinter(with the quanari and possibly nevarra) and the inquisition would march there set up a new base of operation and decide the fate of theese nations.

 

I really hope they keep the iq as main character for a while beacuse i can t imagine that they could come up with someone who is a more important person the (s)he is. Also i think this new hero in every new game thing is pretty much bull**** beacuse it crystal clear that the wanted hawke to be the iq and decided otherwise only beacuse of the negative feedback on da2.

[The_Last_Griffon]

They have said they will use a new protagonist for each game, so it's extremely unlikely.

[Vicious]

Just not gonna happen.

 

the next game will be far afield from our usual stomping grounds.

 

it's a big world. Inquisitor can live happily ever after in southern thedas.

 

We're going North. North! NORTH!

We can't live happily ever after until we've reunited with Solas, though. And his plans seem larger than what a single DLC could handle. So Inquisitor for DA4 or no happily ever after.

[Vilegrim]

I'm not the only who developed interesting main character out of this game. The fact I can make a character who feel being called the herald of Andreste unnerving make it clear i can give my character personality.

 

 

oh yea 3 choices of Paladin purity.  No murderous power hungry fanatics, no selfish money grabbers, no sadists, no elven supremacists  no actually interesting characters, just 3 flavour of purity and bland inoffensive mulch.

[LostInReverie19]

I sincerely hope not. I'm less attached to my Inquisitors than to either my Wardens or my Hawkes. 

[ashlover mark 2]

Just so you guys know, Bioware is a company and Companies lie -- Most certainly Bioware\EA does, we've caught them in serveral. So, all this "New hero every game." stuff? It's not written in stone just because that's what they said they would do; Bioware could easily change their minds. And truthfully, if any protagonists actually did return for DA4 as a PC it probably will be the Inquisitor.

[Iakus]

There is zero chance the Inquisitor will be a playable character in the next Dragon Age game.  One story, one hero.

 

The series is about Thedas as a whole, not one character.

[Vox Draco]

Hopefully zero. I like the Quizzy but ... I don't like playing legends much.

 

I want DA4 to get back to the roots of fantasy ... a young hero(ine), out in the wilds, on the streets, against the odds and the whole world, hunted, relying only on a bunch of companions, no powerful oranization to back you up or to manage, just your friends, your sword and the open road ahead of you...

 

That's what I want back. Please no more Organization-running, Stronghold-Upgrading and all that...back to the basics, and this is only possible with a new hero(ine) I'd say

[leaguer of one]

How about some:

) Solas, I don't care..

) Yes Solas, I am awesome. 

) It doesn't matter what you do, nothing in life is worth of praise. 

 

No? 

 

How about:

) Solas I don't care about all these people and the rift, I just want to get it over with with Cory, because he wants me dead. 

 

No? 

1.) Solas, I don't care.. Basicly the first responce

) Yes Solas, I am awesome....  The second one

) It doesn't matter what you do, nothing in life is worth of praise. ...That's basicly one of the responces before he state how bad your race is and your one of the good ones.

 

) Solas I don't care about all these people and the rift, I just want to get it over with with Cory, because he wants me dead....That's a responce in another scene

[leaguer of one]

...One of you line when you are first choosen as inquisitor is that your just doing it for power. Added,as an elven supremacist you can let the empress of orlis die so you can put Gespard on the thrown to be a puppet of Barla who is an elf. Sorry, it's not 3 flavors of purity. Just no flavor of chaotically stupid.

[MonkeyLungs]

Vox Draco: I can't do quotes (must be some security setting) but the post of your just above leaguer of one's posts I really liked and I hope that is where the series heads next. Smaller in scope but larger in detail.

[Kmaru]

None, we had different character each time, but all from Ferelden.

I would not like to play the warden, the inquisitor or hawke again. I want a descent hero from Tevinter or Antiva. A Tevinter slave.

[Judas Bock]

You can have Gaspard be a puppet of this guy? I had no idea!

 

 

(sorry, I had to do it)

[mopotter]

I hope it's 0.  I'd rather have a new main character with new companions.

 

I liked the idea of ME series, but the Shepard I started with and loved in ME1 changed in ways I would not have picked as the series went on.  So I'd much rather have new characters each time.

 

Some day maybe if they come up with a system that will carry over the essence of the character, that would be awesome, but till then give me new characters to care about, new friends to hang out with or non friends I can tell to leave and interesting stories with these characters in mind.

 

edit - I do hope for some DLC content, like what Solas is up to.

[GoneGrimdark]

I get attached too easy and hate change, so I'd like to be in Inquisitor again. But I really doubt they would.

 

I liked playing as Shepard every time because I knew her, she was an old friend. (Also, I saw her as me. I always see my characters as me! It's weird when Inquisitor meets Hawke because its me...meeting myself. Hi me!) To continue being the 'me' I know would be nice.

 

I hope in the next game the Inquisition still plays a large role, even if you aren't the Inquisitor or even meet them. They should be mentioned, or Inquisition forces seen or something at least. Unless the game takes place somewhere far, far away 

[Anvos]

Inquistion DLC I would say yes.

 

DA4 protag I would say no.

[Ieldra]

Hopefully zero. I like the Quizzy but ... I don't like playing legends much.

I like DAI exactly because it moves beyond this old tired stuff. I dislike the "legend" aspect, too, mainly because it's tied to faith, but I think future games could do worse than to retain the little hint of grand strategy they've introduced in DAI. Epic heroes influencing the fate of the world without any kind of strategic power? Perhaps I can believe it once, or twice, but it's laughably implausible. Also, I like starting out at a medium power level. I've come to dislike growing-up stories.

I'd like to see the same thing held onto. Though I certainly could do without the legend stuff and generally fewer chosen one overtones. That stuff just made me feel silly.
