Okay, should the Warden be the protagonist in Dragon Age IV? But this time, he will be voiced [ just like in Inquisition, you get to choose which accent ] ....... After all the events of DAO and Awakening, your Warden just dissapears but is then revealed to be finding a solution to the Calling.... I mean, I would love to play my Warden again and help him stop the "Calling" while possibly meeting the Architect on the way if you let him live...

 

What do ya think guys?

The Lore section doesn't really seem the right section for this but no, I am hoping for one thing the next game will be in Tevinter given its stated they are done with southern Thadas and I would like a fresh character for that. Not to mention the story of dragon age is the story of Thadas and the warden, Hawke and the inquisitor are merely players in that story.

No, I don't think the Warden should be the protagonist of another full game. But for the protagonist of a DLC, or as an NPC cameo in DA4? Yes, please!

It's just a shame that your Warden is just alone out there doing something........ [ without you ofc ] I blame BioWare for making Origins too epic.....

 or atleast ONE.LAST.RIDE.

No, but if she were to have a voice, I would like to have Jean Gilpin, the voice of Meredith in DA2, to voice my femWarden

My "default" warden does have a voice. That would be Mika Simmons, one of the possible VO's for the female human noble. So this would be possible in theory but hard to put in practice. Too many voice actors would be required. Problematic.

I always mentally pictured my male human warden being voiced by Vincent price in my head, the female human warden being voiced by Kathleen Hepburn, my male dwarven noble warden being voiced by Peter Cushing and my city elf being voiced by Bea Arthur myself.

Yeah sure, why not? Bring the warden back for sure. Inmo, it'd be fun if we could choose between The Warden, Hawke and Inquisitor every playthrough. The ones you don't select would then just be companions. Every playthrough would incredibly different. Ah, imagine the possibilities and replay value!

Actually, that's a good idea! I read some post where one of the members in BioWare said that the Warden can never be playable again because his story is "done". 

Nope, it doesnt feel done and thats why we want our Warden back or atleast an NPC or one last glorious darkspawn killing battle  because "Calling".

The Warden's story is finished. The developers said so, just let them go into the night. I'd much rather have protagonists for future installments.

I would LOVE this.  As things stand, my canon Warden has a long list of issues with Tevinter magisters.  He's an elf mage with strong antislavery views and his reaction to blood magic is quite visceral (literally; after every fight with a blood mage, he makes a beeline for the nearest empty container)

 

I doubt he'd be all that keen on going to Tevinter, but once there, well... if slavery, blood magic and demon summoning are as pervasive as Fenris says, there would be a lot of freed slaves and dead magisters within a very short time.

 

I haven't found my canon Hawke yet, but all of those I've played to date have held similar if somewhat less extreme views on blood magic and slavery.  And I still don't have Inquisition.

 

However, I suspect that the only way this will happen is if some enterprising modder finds a way to make it work.

I wouldn't be opposed to it (in fact I'd think it was awesome if done right) but they're almost certainly not going to do it and if they do they're unlikely to do it the way I'd like.

It's impossible to please everyone. When enough time has passed, the HoF/Warden will return. Maybe not anytime soon, but you watch... Devs come and go, change their minds, executives hire someone new... the only constant thing is change. Let's just hope it'll be a change for the better. ;)

I would love having my HoF back, but I'm terrified what Bioware would do with her voice and personalities. I would kill to have line dialogue choices again instead of the wheel. I felt like I could actually create a real personality instead of falling into nice, funny, or aggressive. Honestly, as much as I want her back, I think they are better off giving us one last good-bye mission in order to keep the HoF from being given the "Hawke in DAI" treatment.

 

I posted this in another topic, but I feel that it is incredibly relevant here:

 

Have a mission where the DA4 Protagonist goes to help the Warden that is trying to cure the calling. If your HoF is dead it's a Stroud-type replacement, the HoF's protegee perhaps? You don't actually make it in time to help so you have a badass fighting/puzzle mission where you get info on the Calling and curing it. At the end of the mission you get a cutscene of the HoF/Warden doing the thing to stop the calling. You can't actually have a conversation, just watching, maybe yelling things at the Warden. Then the HoF/Warden will cure the Calling and die, cure it and survive, not cure it, etc, this can be a set event or an event based on your choices.
 
And because people love the LI scene's (myself included), have an LI scene either prior to the cure attempt or after it. 
 
Bippy bobbity boom, a mission that Bioware can't screw up with dialogue that doesn't fit the HoF's personality or a voice that doesn't match everyone's HoF and we get an answer to if it's possible to cure the calling.

Actually what I would think is interesting is if any of you remember from dragon age origins; if you are a male warden and whether you had love for or not with Morrigan  they had a child which eventually saved the wardens life by killing the archedemon and I'm not sure whether Morrigan did this with some sort of spell, but she put the archdemons soul into her baby. (To be honest I find this strange because they just had intercourse the night before, to actually become pregnant cannot be that quick, but I'm sure there is some explanation behind it, Magic I guess is always the answer...) Which Morrigan later states that she were to raise the child and train it. What I would think would be interesting, and I hope others agree is in the next Dragon age game, either the child grows up to be the villain that you the player must defeat, or you actually play that child which has grown up and you are unique because you are the first human (Or mixblood if you were an elf or dwarf, actually I have never heard of such things in the dragon age games, can the different races breed? hmm) to be born with maybe the power of an archedemon. I would think either way would be really cool to have in the next game. Also to add technically the next game is the forth but I don't think it would be called that. The third game was called Dragon Age: Inquisition, not Dragon Age 3: Inquisition. Which is similar to Halo, Halo ODST was considered the forth game, but then Halo Reach came out after that, THEN Halo 4 came out . So It is possible in my opinion that the next game though considered the forth game, will be called Dragon Age 3. 

 

Another thing I want to state is if you remember the ending for Dragon Age: Inquisition. I am most certain all the endings no matter what you do always will show the same. Where Solas disappears and a video of him talking to Flemethand Flemeth posses Solas, whether her body was about to die or I really have no idea.Will the next game or DLC continue off from there whether explain who Solas really is, and what Flemeth now plans to do? Whether she be the next true evil or not?  

 

What do you guys think of what I have said? I think this will be quite interesting.

I'm torn on this one - part of me would like to see the Warden back, and actually have the Order back at full strength and meaningful rather than the tepid parody of themselves that I see them as in Inquisition. It's possible too because of the Arch Demon in the desert if they wanted to go the route of another Blight.

 

But another part of me doesn't want to see it in case the story is weak and the character messed up.

I'd personally love to play as my warden again but only if Oghren is a companion and you can have drinking contests along with drunk dialogue with companions. The voice I chose for my Human male was always the violent voice, the quotes and laugh were brilliant. If they are to bring the warden back they will need a more aged voice in my opinion, the personalities in my opinion should be wise, (Hawke) sarcastic or Origins ruthlessness, the aggressive characters in DA2 and Inquisition aren't fun mean, they're just arseholes. I want to be able to extort people, threaten priests and kill people for no reason other than the fact my blood mage is insane. Sorry folks, I got carried away at the thought of the dynamic duo back together.

Also they could easily do a dlc where the warden unites both the Ferelden and Orlesian wardens and go to war with the wardens at Wieshaupt to gain control of the wardens, this being after he finds the cure to the calling of which they remain immune to the blight but don't suffer the calling. Wieshaupt and other wardens in other nations don't approve of the cure while the Orlesian and Ferelden wardens do, then let the war commence. It would be an interesting story I think. You could even call on the inquisition (Leliana) for aid.

I'm aware of Morrigan saying they're doing it on the eve of battle. However, Eamon and Teagan describe the journey between Redcliffe and Denerim as taking several days. I'm not sure how long it takes for conception to actually happen, though, so I'm not sure if it even matters that Morrigan might not mean it literally.

It might be an interesting story, but I don't know that everyone would approve.  The problem with resolving the Warden's story that way is it could end up being too linear, resulting in a false dichotomy similar to the one you encounter in DA2 Legacy DLC.

 

I may be biased, however, since a DLC like this would go against my personal headcanon for my canon Warden.  But then, that's probably part of the issue with any reappearance of the Warden.

I think that in the next installment of the Dragon Age franchise they should bring back the warden. They should make him or her a supporting character somehow tied to the plot like Hawke was in Inquisition. Or they could take the route that witcher 3 took with Ciri and make the warden a character that you can play as in few sequences and then would be a normal character in others.

 

 

Maybe some sort of Warden/Hawke team up against the calling would be good for the plot, as it would definitely make the plot much, much more interesting if you had a new protagonist doing this and that while in some other corner of Thedas you would have the Warden's search going on and at some point the plots would collide resulting in something unexpected.

 

 

Some people think that past characters need to stay in the past, but most people want to see their old characters again. Dragon Age 4 needs to wrap up the character stories and give the players a real chance to say a final goodbye to their characters. This at least in my mind as a long time gamer and BioWare fan is the only way to clear the plate. If you have unresolved questions then they will limit the franchise's future.

 

 

Be it success or failure, the Warden and Hawke stories need a definite end so that a new story can be told.

Hell no, I want to start with a new character. Ideally several, with Awakening-style DLC.
