While it's exceptionally unlikely we'll be seeing the fourth game in this franchise for another 2-3 years or more, that's actually exactly why I found the prospect of this topic so deliciously absurd. I figured it might be fun to go back and see what everyone guessed all those many, many, many days from now, and see if anyone was right on the money.

Considering that BioWare itself likely has absolutely nothing concrete on the question as yet, well, hell's bells, all the more fun, says I. The Star Trek fandom has been doing this with the new movies for years (I actually guessed Beyond at one point, and it's looking likely... hype!) and the BioWare fandom can be just as obsessive, so have fun, and look forward to looking back sometime around ~2017 or whatever.

Here's mine: Dragon Age: Imperium. It benefits from sounding somewhat similar to the word "Inquisition", signaling continuation to the average consumer, while also being very much a different word, with a different meaning, signaling standalone capability to them as well. It's also short, sweet, and to the point, which is usually a good thing in corporate eyes, and it manages to choose a word that hasn't been overused to the point of oversaturation. It of course references the Tevinter Imperium, and so it hinges on the developer hints that we're headed that far north for the next game.

This is a moderately safe bet for now insofar as it does currently seem likely, but it's important to always remember that everything in life is subject to change. The plan may get tossed aside in favor of something else... but I'm gonna roll with what I know and worry about all that later.

Anyway, I daresay four paragraphs is overkill for such a blunt, simplistic thread idea, so enough from me. Go for it!

Goddammit, man, you used the obvious one. I thought I called dibs. 

Dragon Age: Imperium 

Dragon Age: Two Archdemons and an Arishok

Dragon Age: Executors

Dragon Age 4

Dragon Age: The North will rise again!

 

So are we all in agreement that the sequel will, to some degree, be set in Tevinter, and that this is a wonderful thing? 

[JeffZero]

Absolutely.

[Caddius]

Oh, good.

Now the question is, what combination of Razikale waking up, Sten leading a Qunari invasion, a Grey Warden Civil War, blood magic shenanigans, darkspawn magisters, the Senate embracing the stabbity parts of its inspiration, Kal'sharok, Solas, and spiky but inexplicably amusing architecture can we expect?

I can picture Weekes pouring it all into a giant video game pot while cackling madly.

Dragon Age : Wild Hunt Wannabe. 

I would buy a game with Charles Dance playing the Emperor Emyhr that has been stranded in Thedas and is masquerading as Archon Radonis.

Stop!

It's... it's not healthy for me to be so excited about something so brutally far away!

Dragon Age: The Old Imperium: Prepare to experience DAI single player MMO evolution to multiplayer only masterpiece. Prepare to travel back in time and face Corypheus or Fen'Harel as member of 64 player raid and more! Includes feature that allows you to romance and marry other players in game!

OK; I was just kidding. Don't do that Bioware!

[Ashaantha]

Dragon Age: Cheese

 

I'd go with Dragon Age: Cheese Famine

 

but honestly, I think DA4 will more likely be in 5-6 years time, not 2-3 years. It takes a long time to create a video game and they're still working on stuff for DAI.

Dragon Age: Griffon Skies

Dragon Age: Griffon Commander

Dragon Age: Griffon Squadron

Dragon: FreeSky: The Griffon War

Dragon Age: G-Wardens

Dragon Age: Archdemon vs Griffon Fighter

 

Or possibly just Dragon Age: Griffons!

I hope not. Pouring all of Exalted March into a pot with Inquisition just made for a terrible stew.

 

Also, it might just be Dragon Age 4 again, and they can retroactively claim that 2 was supposed to be part of a pattern.

More ones prone to cheating?

 

My girlfriend who romanced Isabela did not agree on an open relationship, damn you.

Bioware should just declare the multiplayer psuedo-canon, it'd probably give some of us 'Bela fans less grief if we can write the whole "possibly cheating" thing off as being apocryphical? If so, I vote that we headcanon it that it's not really Isabela, Penelope Cruz has just stolen her identity and is cosplaying her like in PotC 4?

So you guys don't think they would just bring back The Inquisition? Why not?

[Caddius]

So you guys don't think they would just bring back The Inquisition? Why not?

They've stated that the next main DA game will be set in the North. DA main games are set to have a new protagonist and new companions, with maybe one carry-over companion. A fresh start every main game, as opposed to the ME model of an ongoing story with a central character.

Also, the Tevinter Imperium wouldn't really appreciate a White Andrastian military order showing up in their borders. 

So while I imagine there will be plenty of meaty story DLC for the Inquisitor and company, I don't think the Inquisitor is going to star in DA4. Possibly the Inquisition making inroads or investigating the North will provide the opening situation for the protagonist, but I doubt it.

[Ashaantha]

I just doubt they would, I think Bioware seems to prefer giving us a new protagonist to play with each DA game, maybe because of the whole "choices" thing or whatever. I just don't see them changing their fresh start for every game with an empty-history player character system which has worked for them this far.

Could you point me to where Bioware stated this? Honest question, not sarcastic. I've only heard and seen rumours,assumptions and speculations from fans about it and would prefer to read the actual Bioware statement especially since it seems far too early for them to have said anything about it when DAI hasn't even been out for a year.
