EDIT:NVM NEW OP!
Do you want to leave Ferelden and explore completely new territories with completely new characters, or stay and continue win familiar settings and characters?

I think DA 4 will be time to venture forth. We've explored southern Thedas three times, I think we know that part of the world well enough now. There are pyramids in Qunandar, the supposedly magnificent city of Minrathous, the seemingly hedonistic Antivans, The Nevarrans with their facilitation with death and, long lineages filled with dragon hunters, Seheron full of conflict and danger.
There is so much out there we haven't seen or experienced, it's time to go do it.

Tevinter, Rivain, Par Vollen, and Nevarra are what I want to visit. In that order.

Definitely NOT leave Thedas. Leave Ferelden? YES. Leave Orlais? Not entirely, but mostly. Sort of. If you know what I mean. Here's what I want the next two or so games to be:
1. Dragon Age 4: A Journey to Tevinter
2. Dragon Age 5: A Journey to Nevarra
3. Dragon Age 6: A Journey to Antiva
4. Dragon Age 7: A Journey to Anderfels
5. Dragon Age 8: A Journey to Seheron (just heard of it today, but sounds cool)
6. Dragon Age 9: A Journey to Rivain (also sounds cool)
7. Dragon Age 10: A Journey Back to the Free Marches: A Visit by Hawke and Crew: Varric Writes Stories
8. Dragon Age 11: A Journey Back to Fereldan: The Age of Yet Another Blight: The Return of the Warden Commander from Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age Awakening
Exact titles and everything. Don't get me started on DLCs...

We should all venture north......wtf is going on in Weishaupt? Tevinter is a must stop along the way though.

Move on please. Not just from Ferelden, move on from the South period.

I want to stay in Thedas and move elsewhere on the continent. At this point I really want to go to Tevinter and see that, as well as experience the mage issue from a different dynamic. Unfortunately, I don't have a very large interest in the Qunari, which would necessarily factor into any Tevinter-themed game.

Weisshaupt is definitely due. I expect we will see the Wardens return with a vengeance.

I think it's definitely time to move north. After all we've heard about it it would be nice to go to Minrathous for a DA2 style game or the Anderfells to see what's going on with the wardens and Neverra sounds really interesting and then there's Rivian.
The south has been great but there's so much story potential else where and it means less import baggage to deal with.

The Anderfels is a Blighted wasteland, for the most part, so I think any exploration of it should be centred on Weisshaupt and would be more suited to a DLC or expansion than a full game.
I think Tevinter (including Seheron) should, and probably will be, the setting of the next game. Nevarra should be explored after that. I certainly don't think we should close ourselves off to a return to the south, though. Orlais and Ferelden still have a lot of plot potential and I'd also love to explore beyond the Korcari Wilds.

I'd definitely like to see new places. We've seen a lot of Ferelden and only got a glimpse of Orlais. I'd like to see a proper city again, not small hub areas like Val Rayeaux. Cities like Denerim, only the new engine wouldn't require a bunch of loading screens to see all of it. And places with entire new visuals like we've seen Tevinter have through concept arts of its people and places.

Well, I was thinking since we only got introduced to Val Royaux, why not make a game entirely focused on it and the land around said city.
Give us a game to play in a game, what do you say? Assets could easily be reused and it would still be pretty fun! After all, most caves in an area look very much the same, so I don't see why not.

Lets go to Nevarra, or at least let us play as one, a Pentaghast PC would be cool.

Would Love to see and expac' for Da 3 then 2 more (maybe 3) additions to the dragon age series. Then if Bio ware can do it right, and not mess it up, would love a killer MMO world of Dragon age....
But the track record of latest MMO's shows that maybe they should not go this route.

Move on. Any of the other regions will do. Even (the rest of) the Free Marches.

Combination of the two? I want it to be unifying the Southern Wilds with a bit of a sendoff from some place we know more about (origins section, got to return) and a few returning characters. Morrigan would make sense to show again, of course. No reason Solas couldn't head south. We know practically nothing about that territory, and it's an oppurtunity to characterize a new nation in Thedas from the ground up.
Dragon Age: Ghengis Khan, basically
Details:
No major national backing, so the PCs can start out in unlikely ways, in the origin segments.
First act of the game is making allies as you travel south, defining an ambition and the character of your group
Second act is solidifying a base of power after some discovery or major crisis, then conquering territory as you move north
Third act is showing up on the doorstep of established nations, declaring your borders and intentions, forcing them to respond, include origin callback
Finale: Establish your territory, large battle over authority dispute and old grievances, resolve major crisis from act two
Features all new territory, new factions, new religions and language etc., fish out of water themes, entirely new cultures, keep building and all that, customizable war party etc travelling with you, inverse the whole 'crisis at our doorstep' thing. But with purpose and pace this time. Thedas would go from looking down on the primitives and scary bedtime stories to panic as if your horde were another blight, and then to a new status quo resolution, determined by the choices you've made.
Tevinter can wait. I don't want another mage centric themed game for a while (the central theme). Let's add some new blood to the mix.

I want to be part of a Tevinter slave uprising.
Or an entirely Dwarf-based game (sadly that will never happen
)

I do like the setting up a new kingdom route...sounds like it would be fun to be a founder of an empire.

Why limit the story to space, why not go back in time in the ancient age and see the fall of Elvhenan and the rise of Tevinter? This will sync with your idea of founding an empire.
Moreover, there could be two arcs in the story where the protagonist is either an elf or a tevinter and the story evolves accordingly. Obviously one would be the antagonist/rival of the other.
We already had this to an extent with the mages/templars arcs in DAI, so it should be doable. Also, the dwarven involvement and strife (Cad'halash/Kal-Sharok) could be explored in depth.
There is so much lore regarding these times and there are so many questions, I would love to see this fleshed out in a full featured game the size of DAI.

Dragon Age: Inquisition will be the last Dragon Age game that will ever be made.
You heard it first.

I said this in several places, but:
I WANT TO GO TO TEVINTER!!!!
I always think it's nice when we see old characters pop in... Dorian had talked about wanting to go back and change his homeland for the better. So maybe we'd see him at some point. There would probably be talk about the Inquisition, but I don't think we'd need to see anyone else.
... I just really want to go to Tevinter, guys.
Also, my city elf Warden has some family that was sold into slavery there, so I'd like to maybe resolve that story line, please.

Take me to Teventer. And I want a proper city. Doesn't need to be on the scale of AC Unity Paris (although as far as explorable cities go in a video game that one was quite nice), but I want a fully explorable city with nooks and crannies and some underground with weird people peddling interesting amulets. LOL.

Yeah none of this Val Royeaux crap - that was pretty disappointing.
