I want a new protagonist. I've always liked the new campaign = new protagonist thing DA has going. Hell, I wish, they'd committed to it earlier and forced everyone to make an Orlesian Warden for Awakening, although I'm sure it would have caused a revolt at the time. I think it would have made a better story. The only thing you'd really miss out on is the interesting dynamic between a Cousland Warden and Nathaniel Howe, and they could have had the story react to you being Orlesian a lot more if were compulsory.

 

The other, completely selfish, reason I don't want the Inquisitor back is that we will never have Blackwall back as a companion and I don't want a Thane or Jacob situation for my 'canon' Inquisitor. (He's got seven potential endgame states and was not a popular romance. I expect to never see my sad teddy bear again after the last Inquisition DLC is done.)

I hope they jump ahead in time at least 25 years in addition to heading north. That way, we can cut down on the huge number of cameos the series has to juggle and avoid a DA2 situation where everyone just happens to run into the new protagonist. DAI made it a bit more plausible because te Inquisition is such a nexus of power, but I'd still rather an entire slate of new characters. It was just a bit odd at the end of DAI having three of four advisors to the Inquisition being returned characters from DAO.

 

This. I am all for a time jump. They still have at least half a century left of this Age,  and going ahead a bit will make for a new status quo to settle in, just in time for our new protag to mess it all up.

New protagonist per game just seems like the style of the series. That, and Dragon Age virgins are more likely to buy a new game with a new protagonist rather than a "continuation" of a game they've not played

[roselavellan]

I don't enjoy getting attached to my characters, only to have them disappear. I'd like the Inquisitor to return in DA4.

[JadeDragon]

the inquisitor power and influence lore wise has become to great to continue being a protagonist just like the warden and hawke at the end of  there stories. We never had a dragon age game were the character reputation and status is already established it would make things get boring really fast or there would be contradictions. Plus like someone mentioned Warden and Hawke did not get there chance so why should the Inquisitor? I dont want the Inquisition expanded to far and trying to become the world police because then we are only asking for them to become future antagonist. Plus considering it would be different companions anyway since you can possibly only have varric by the end of the game we might as well change heroes if most of the companions are not even going to return. I want a hero with a more personal story to there rise that eventually leads to the grand epic save the day moment if the Inquisitor returned that would be impossible given in a new area there story can not be as personal since they are established already it'll just be another save the world moment, might as well be a DLC.

I wouldn't mind a timeskip either, but a shorter one: a whole generation fells to large a gap and I'd rather see a sequel happening in the dragon-fifties.

They could always pull an Anders

New protagonist please the inquisitor was boring.

[Hauk]

I'm on the fence about this. I thought the game did a great job of making me feel like the leader of an ascendant organization. Building the Inquisition, acquiring resources, recruiting agents; it was fun. It would be nice to continue in that role. On the other hand, the Inquisition has already been built, and I'm not sure it would be as much fun to play from that point on. I'm less concerned about the actual character of the Inquisitor than the position.

[duckley]

I say  do both.

 

Do DA4 as per usual with a new protagonist and at the same time produce a new game (with Thedas as the world) in which there is a protagonist that carries through for two or three games.

[The_Shade]

I'm happy to go along with a new protagonist but, only if the Inquisitor's story is dealt with conclusively. 

[Heimdall]

New protagonist

I like my Inquisitor, but I love having a new protagonist, someone new to shape and mold with a new perspective of the world. I don't have a problem leaving the Inquisitor behind because I expect the next game will take place on the other side of the continent, outside their sphere of influence. More than enough justification for them to not appear. They had to learn to delegate sometime.

[Ariella]

I love my IQ, but I'd kill to get Hawke back. In fact, I kind of wish Hawke was the IQ. That would have been interesting. But for the love of God, no origins!

They're fun to play through a couple of times, but I started to want a version of the bg 2 mod dungeon be gone that zaps you through the opening dungeon and gets you all the major loot.

Normal opening please.

[Fearsome1]

Tuesday's DLC, The Descent has the Inquisitor and company investigating seismic disturbances in the Deep Roads. That comes in the wake of the main game Grey Wardens being deceived into seeking out the remaining old gods in order to kill them, a plot device initiated by Corypheus to trick the Wardens into inadvertently becoming thralls of a demon army. There is also the possibility that in some world states the Architect may yet live?

 

I feel that we will see the Tevinter/Qunari war form most of the basis of the next game, as has been teased ......

 

But

 

I also see indications in what Bioware is doing that "suggests" that a small time jump to another blight may be in the discussion phase? Whether that comes to pass will remain to be seen, but the footprints are there should they so choose. The fifth blight lasted only a year, the shortest recorded in Thedas history, so who is to say whether a decade or two [with such indications being made manifest; see above] might also shorten the span of time (two blights within the same century) for something like this occur in the franchise?? Dragon Age setting = "old gods" being dragons!! 

 

Not too much of a stretch?

[ElementalFury106]

I'd prefer a new protagonist and a new environment completely. 

 

I hope the next game will be somewhere completely foreign to us thus far: Tevinter, Antiva, Rivain, Nevarra, or The Anderfels.

 

The idea of an Antivan protagonist with an italian accent does make me giddy. 

 

Though if I had to bet, I'd say the next game will be in Nevarra or Tevinter. Perhaps both. We'll see.

 

At this point, they've definitely exhausted Southern Thedas (Fereldan, Orlais, The Free Marches)

By the Maker's will!!

 

I definitely want to move along to the greater world of Thedas that we've yet to experience.

[PCThug]

And endure the subsequent fallout if the returning protagonist's love interest isn't present in the game with them? No thanks.

[Dabrikishaw]

just like the headline reads what do you think the Devs might be going to do in the next DA game. Me I would like to keep using the Inquisitor for the next game.

The Devs have already told us that each new game will have a new protagonist.

[Call Me Jord]

The Devs have already told us that each new game will have a new protagonist.

 

As long as Mass Effect games continue their repeating protagonist, I....suppose I can live that.

 

Ideally, I would love to continue a protagonist from one DA into another, its conflicting becoming connected to these characters, only to have to endure feels knowing this is the only game they'll be in. Then we do it all over again!

 

But at the same time, I can see how the formula works wonders. It allows them to take us all over Thedas, showing us different parts of the world, with characters so far apart from each other that the events that happens to each of these Characters are a unique event, while not spreading far enough to overlap the uniqueness of every new character and the events that pick them up into a whirlwind.

If DAI would have allowed me a way to kill my Inquisitor,i would have done it with no remorse.

New protagonist for the next game who'll remain the protagonist till they seal the franchise, make him/her a solid interesting character, background written to perfection concerning every little detail, make the next sequel all about their evolving from kidhood to adulthood, something like the beginning of fable II, something new to breath life in the game, we could observe and impact their personality from scratch, provide us with multiple solid array of choices in game that play as markers to what they'll become, and depending on what we choose we'll have an extra dialogue option regarding their personality.

 

Anything but the bland lackluster inquisitor and their organization.

 

Or you can always bring back the Warden.

[rapscallioness]

I would love a PC-that is interesting and exciting-to playthrough a trilogy, or at least two games. I love that sort of thing.

 

But I absolutely do not want to be stuck with the Inquisitor for another game. The Inquisitor is my least favorite PC out of any game I've ever played. I tried. So many PT's-and the truth is I kind of hate them all. I'm sorry. My Cadash is okay.

[Cz-99]

If I have to play the Inquisitor or someone like him in the next game I just might commit seppuku.

[Snowy-Ninja]

If we could I'd have loved to replay as either hawke or the warden sadly neither is possible as for the Inquisitor, I don't know why but she's not been as interesting to me as a character so I welcome a new protagonist.

That said I would love to get away from the human noble that Bioware is so fixated on, give us a commoner, a homeless person, an ex-slave just give us something more interesting then another rich person. I know Hawke didn't start out as a noble but they still became one and amell technically wasn't a noble either but they still have noble ties. Also bring back city elves, I'm not a big fan of the dalish but I always adored the city elf wardens. 

Plus I would really like to get out of southern Thedas now, stick me in Tevinter, the Anderfels or Par Vollen just get me out of southern Thedas. 

[daveliam]

I have been and always will be a fan of the DA series featuring a new PC in every game.  I love that the series is about Thedas and not a particular character/set of characters.  I really hope that they continue to do this and allow us to create a new PC for each game.  Each of  my PCs is different and offers a unique RP experience. 

 

My HoF is the honorable, second son of Endrin Aeducan, wrongfully exiled for a crime he didn't commit, who eventually became the leader of the Ferelden Grey Wardens.  My Hawke is a snarky, sarcastic, overly emotional, mage-rebellion supporting apostate who was at the center of countless chaos in Kirkwall.  My Inquisitor is a Marcher -born Tal-Vashoth mercenary who took advantage of circumstances to lift his station in life and 'right wrongs' across Ferelden and Orlais as a way to demonstrate qunari equality.  If there was just one PC, all of that would be lost.

 

One note:  I do think that they need to work on closure a bit better.  I get that they are probably just keeping their options open, but it would be nice if they completed the PC's story arcs in the actual games (or at the very least, the DLC for their game).  HoF is still a giant question mark.  Hawke seemed like s/he was getting closure until they added the "likely will die" note in the Abyss Quest.  The Inquisitor ends the game as the head of one of the most politically powerful factions in Thedas.  Hopefully the last story-based DLC will bring some closure there, otherwise, they will almost certainly have to have a role in the next game.  Unless the writers write themselves completely into a corner.
