The problem with playing in Tevinter is its unique design. 
 
If you play a mage - you could become very important in the society. If you play a rogue or warrior there is a ceiling. 
 
That's not going to fly with the player base.
 
And races would be very hard to integrate I think (which would also make a lot of people angry).

I dunno. You could argue that anyone except a human noble in DAO and DAI is disadvantaged, but they still managed to make it work.

Humans are everywhere in Tevinter, as are elves (as slaves, if nothing else). The Qunari are right next door and there's the dwarven Ambassadoria... seems relatively multicultural to me.

To be fair, DA2 probably should have taken place against a backdrop of darkspawn destroying Ferelden (and beyond). Ending the blight in a single game was a massive waste of story potential, especially given how the lore describes all the past blights....

 

And this is why another Blight needs to happen soon. I think its all too well known that the Blight we stopped was unnatural because of the Architect awakening Darkspawn to end Blights. Remember he accidentally triggered the Blight we stopped in DAO.   So I think because we know the 5th Blight didn't start like they normal do that it spells another Blight. With the Grey Wardens falling apart from what I see, its possible we will see the next Villain trying to trigger the remaining expected Blights since the Grey Wardens are in Chaos. 

 

But I also believe that Qunari Invasion is also in the future plans of the world

These are all interesting speculations.  Having read all the books, played all the games and etc., I think that the next game will feature the Inquisition.  My theory - theory mind you - is that the Warden was successful in finding a cure for him or herself.  Thinking this would be a good thing for the Wardens they return to W. where he/she encounters Hawke who has just given them the information that the Blight can control them and that not only big C but also the Wardens are responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocents etc. in DAI and tore Thedas apart.  None of this is going to be good news for the traditional Wardens since they believe that secrecy beyond rationale is necessary and do not wish to give up their power / reputation.  Note that the Chantry, Templars and Seekers all fell prey to this.  So the Wardens imprison them both and the Inquisition must act to free them and bring the Wardens to heel under, as my grandfather used to say, adult supervision.  These are just theories however, but I do think the Wardens will be making a comeback under some form or other.

I hope we are mage in Tevinter (they might make mages fighting with sword and bow, we've seen many in MMORPGs) during qunari invasion and final is another Blight. I would be so happy. Also, we need to enter Fade and check why Blights keep happening.

But what if we played a slave? All slaves are equal in Tevinter; they're all on the bottom rung of society. Even freed slaves are lower-class citizens.

[DDJ]

I spend a lot of time considering Dragon Age and how the books often explain backstories in greater detail.  Realistically considering the games, I think another blight with the wardens at the center such as DAO would be a rehash although I would like to see the previous two games upgraded for PS 4 etc.  The Warden can, obviously, return since the Witch Hunt expansion allowed one to raise him / her from the dead.  Of the three games however, the Inquisition is the most likely to be able to maintain an expansion into game 4.  Both the Warden and Hawke were, by the nature of the games, limited.  I think it is a valid idea to explore the Fade and determine why the blights keep on coming.  I would suspect that the Wardens will play a significant role.  The two concerns I keep thinking of are, if your Warden lived and romanced someone, why does the Warden's honor at being a Warden drive them to seek a cure.  Paint it however you want, I suspect that the Warden is less than honored at being helplessly tainted.  Like the cure for tranquility, the Wardens will not want this secret getting out.  Also, what happened to Hawke?  If word gets to the Warden Keep that they aided the Blight and could be controlled by it - there could be more like Corypheus of course - than they are facing a very dark period.

 

Hopefully we will get some answers.

Interesting thread my two cents:

Interesting:
Chantry/Andraste
Elves/old gods/rebellion
Wardens/architect/blights
Tevinter

Not interesting:
Orlais
Quarni



Edit: also interesting: dwarves and deep roads. But not sure we could do an entire game down there. Would probably get very repetitive.

Edit 2: I would like to see tevinter next. I think the game is most fun when is adjacent to real social issues. The class warfare there could make for some good story telling.

[The Dank Warden]

Next event?, NUG invasion

[Brisea71]

The games are based on the books written by David Gaider. He also wrote a set of 3 Comics involving Alistair, Varric, and Isabella going on a mission to free King Maric.(you can read about the plot on Dragon Age Wiki) These event are not in the game and don't appear to have happened yet. I believe this my be the DLC thats coming out soon.

These events have indeed already happened by Inquisition, as Varric makes a reference to meeting the current Arishok.

[Brisea71]

When does he reference it. the only time period I can see these events happening would be between Anders blowing up the Chantry and Cassandra interrogating Varric. in Inquisition the only thing Varric says about that time period that I saw was that he stayed in Kirkwall and wrote his books and help Bianca with the red Lyrium.

I like the idea of a nug invasion under the command of Schmooples!

It's dead

[Nixou]

It's dead 

 

 

But what about Schmooples the third?

[Jedi Master of Orion]

It's dead

 

That's just what he wants you to think.

I still think that the Nevarran succession is going to be an upcoming topic.  Just seems like something that Bioware would do:  you have to decide between the Pentaghasts and the Van Markhams.  They could also tie in a Mortalitasi plot as well.  I suspect it won't be a full game, but it will be a major plot (like Celene's in DA:I).

Id like to see them try to tie in Cassaundra being of the royal family and have the plot put her as some one being pushed to succession of the throne. so it puts the inquisitor in a more personal reason to care about who ends up ruling Nevarra. the level of the personal reason would vary on states of the relationship. 

[Jedi Master of Orion]

She's already potentially Divine. That already makes her kind of more important than the Monarch of Nevarra

[DDJ]

While I am still holding out for a risen from the dead Schmooples invasion, I suspect it will  be something far more.  DA must come up with something that will be on an epic scale.  Perhaps a qunari war or a backup venatori plot.  

 

I am not as confident that we have seen the last of Cassandra, Leliana or Vivienne.  Perhaps the Divine, after a couple of years, finds that the old hatred and prejudices cannot be banished.  Someone once said Mother Gisselle was the best choice, and I agree.  If you take a look at who has played cameo rolls in the games - Oghren, Wynne, Alastair, Morrigan, Zevran and Varric, she is troo good of a character to waste as divine.  It could be something along the line of a Grey Warden / Inquisition War.  The Inquisition has signed no treaties with the Wardens, and considering their lurid roll in DAI are unlikely to any time soon.  Let's say that the Wardens attempt to conscript the Herald.  He / she refuses.  Just what do the Wardens do when someone refuses?  Do they attempt to force them?  What do they do if someone refuses to drink the blood?  I need to start another thread.

 

Anyway, I think the Wardens will be involved, but not necessarily as the good guys.

[CoM Solaufein]

Hordes of the Underdark.

[DDJ]

Understand that I have spent countless hours on ALL of the Dragon Age games.  They are, candidly, of superior quality, but the ending for Inquisitor leaves me wondering.  First, the Inquisition has to go.  It is too limiting, and the Inquisitor, now the Herald or whatever must move on.  OK, I get it.  But, consider the original ending to DAI.  

     1.  Emperess Celene hangs on to her throne through her alliance with the Inquisition.  Someone has conned her into trying to take it over.  What makes the Inquisition work is the Inquisitor but he / she abandons it after Tresspasser.  Too bad Celene.  Your short stability is over.

     2.  Silence falls on the Grey Wardens and Hawke vanishes.  Or does he / she?  This plot thread is totally unresolved, and Hawke does show up at the ending of Tresspasser.

     3.  If your Warden survived and romanced Morrigan / Leliana he / she is off hunting for a cure for the taint.  Now he / she returns at the end of Tresspasser.  Is he / she cured?  And why is the Warden running off to find a cure for him/herself anyway?  Fiona was glad to be done with them, and given the massive chaos they were responsible for in the name of the greater good, I suspect that conservative Wardens will target this Warden.

     4.  During one of the background conversations in the war room they talk of rifts forming where the Inquisition cannot reach them.  Interesting that Ferelden and Orlais decide now is the time to seize control of the Inquisition and end it.  From what I could tell the only involvement F. had during DAI was to boot the mages out of Redcliff after its rulers let the mage / templar war play out in the country.  Interesting what a poor king Alastair turned out to be.  So, what happens when a new rift opens?  Do they send Teagan to beg the Inquisitor to return?  What do the people in Orlais and Ferelden think of them forcing the Herald out, and make no mistake about it, the Inquisitor will be gone.  Even if they found the Inquisitor, why would he / she bother to help them.  Let Celene and Alastair close the rifts.  

     5.  Regardless of who the Divine is, members of the Chantry - dissidents if you will - will not tolerate a Herald of Andraste.  If the Herald cannot be controlled by them, they will see the Herald "put out of the way" - ie., killed.

     6.  Iron Bull.  I suspect that he is not dead no matter what they say.  Consider, if you play the evil Warden in DAO with Wynne and Leliana in your company, both are killed.  And yet, Wynne dies in the books and Leliana is back two games later.  I suspect they could even bring Anders back.

     So what is the next major event in Dragon Age?  I suspect Tervinter with a whole lot of plot threads left hanging.  I suspect the Inquisitor will be back, possibly as the Thumper of Tervinter or some such.  Yet, for all the uncompleted threads, I will wait - impatiently mind you - but wait none the less.

Hmm the Qunari invade Tevinter in a war that will see either the fall of Tevinter or the salvation of Thedas from the Qun while Solas quietly plots in the background. Because as ravaged and battered as southern Thadas is from the Orlaisian Civil War, the Breach, the Mage-Templar war and the impending Navarran civil war

 

Tevinter is the only power left capable of stopping the Qunari and if it falls all of Thadas will fall as there will be no power left to stop the Qunari as all the remaining powers are ravaged from conflict and the Qunari likely know it which is why they are attacking now.

[Navasha]

Would be very surprised if it wasn't the Tevinter reformation and destruction of the Qun.  

[D_Schattenjager]

Everyone seems to be assuming that we will get to stop Solas. What if we can't no matter what?

[Ashagar]

Then its time to make like Andreste and hope the maker answers I guess, though the Qunari are likely the more immediate threat to all thedas, something Solas is likely using to his advantage to buy time for what he's up to.
