I'm tired of a new protagonist every game. Inquisitor should stay alive as well as the inquisition. I actually thought this was the strongest cast of characters in the series, plus they were the only saving grace Inquisition had. Another game with more new characters would be awful. It's time for DA to find a focal point and because the inquisition have paved the way with an interesting backstory I think EAware should stick with them, besides I like to see more judgement gameplay.

They have a focus, and they've been telling us that it was the focus since very nearly the beginning of the franchise: Thedas. I mean, they went so far as to show us where Thedas comes from: The Dragon Age Setting. The problem comes in because people can't play as the place. It's the proverbial "can't see the forest for the trees" thing. It doesn't matter who the protagonist is, or what the story is, to some extent, because we're being told the story of the setting, not the protagonist in a particular chapter. All they exist to do is be a window into the world, a way to move through the actual star of the show.

That's what I'm curious to see. I'm not in the least bit interested in a person who's sole focus was closing rifts suddenly being the driving force behind totally unrelated events. I'm not on the bandwagon of people who believed that the Warden should have been the protagonist in DA II, timeline be damned, and still believed that the Warden was best suited for Inquisition too. These same people who, if it had come to pass, would be complaining that they were level 1 at the start of every game... I'm interested in the "behind the scenes" story that's being told, and that's what I want to see completed. Not the mental gymnastics of "This game is a story focused political intrigue type of thing, and the Inquisitor is the star because reasons...".

John Marston died at the end of Red Dead Redemption and that game got great reviews and was loved by the fans.

RDR is one of my favourite games of all time. I would put that game top 3, definitely.

[Yumakooma]

Imagine the reactions if the DLC ends with Qunari victory, lol

 

In honesty though I wouldn't mind the Inquisitor dying, but I am pretty sure it will be just as predictable as the main ending where you win and its all happy and you survive everything no matter how improbable

 

My personal choice would be disbanding the inquisition, but have the inquisitor survive. If we get to pick options along that line at least

[The Oracle]

I imagine it more like this:

 

Solas: Inquisitor, the mark will consume you if it is not removed. I can take the power from you and I will then go on to use it for my grand schemes. My own purposes may seem nefarious to you, and you may not like them. They may also turn out badly and you will be held partly responsible (just like I am when i gave Coryfish the Orb), however, you will live and be able to have a full and happy life with your love (or follow me through the mirror and be my never appearing again partner). Or, you can keep the mark and continue to use it, trying to forward your mission and perhaps help to battle me/Qunari/*insert other threat here*, however, the mark will eventually kill you, possibly very soon. Or, I can send you to a place where you will be able to live eternally and retain the power (and responsibility) of the mark, but you will never again be able to return to Thedas.

 

So Inquisitor, what is your choice? Step through the Red, Green or Blue eluvian to your destiny!

 

(Okay, the last bit was a ME dig, but I do think that previous protagonists need to be kept out of future games, for both the fan and devs sake).

[Gileadan]

A Qunari victory would be a huge surprise. I mean, these are the same people who send extremely flammable ships against fireball hurling mages. Can't wait to see them show up with their super secret elite Saarebas strike force against my templar Inquisitor...

[TreeHuggerHannah]

As a personal note, I have no trouble with any of my protagonists, current or previous, never making an appearance or having a mention in any installment outside of their own but I consider railroading them into dying solely for the sake of removing them from the world altogether to be wholly unnecessary. I was fine with imagining my Warden ditching the Grey Wardens and retiring to Antiva, I was fine with imaging my Hawke settling down somewhere quiet with Fenris to live as normal a life as they could and I am fine with imagining my Inquisitor disappearing into the woods.   

 

 

Same. I really don't get the insistence on creating canon futures for past protagonists. I'd rather just let the part of their story that's told by the game come to a natural end, and then imagine whatever future I want for them. I don't need to see them again or even have them referred to in future games unless it's actually relevant. Then the whole issue of plot snarls caused by old characters becomes a moot point.

 

I realize it's something players ask for, but players ask for a lot of things that the writers decide are not possible and/or desirable, so I don't see why demands from some fans would need to dictate this particular point specifically.

[Equalitas]

Sure if it is tied to choices.

It's mater of perspective.

If this girl kill Inquisitor BSN will burn.

 

If this guy kills Inquisitor it wouldn't be as bad.

[helpthisguyplease]

Well yes but his so got revenge for him. Will anybody avenge the Inquisitor if he is killed?

[Bad King]

Maybe at the end of the DLC the Inquisitor will become too political and start meddling in the affairs of Thedas to the dismay of his/her companions. To prevent the Inquisition from swaying from its original purpose, the Inquisitor's companions feel compelled to repeatedly stab the Inquisitor while repeating "For the Inquisition" over and over again.

[MissMayhem96]

 

So do the right thing Bioware & kill the inquisitor    

 

 Bioware isn't going to kill the Inquisitor off without the player's permission. Remember ME3? If the inquisitor is going to die it's going to be an option for the player to do so. Like the ending of Origins. 

[Flemmy]

The inquisition as a super power is being shat all over, those scrubs in both Orlea & Fereldan want you dead (why?), your mark is outta control and to top it all off a bunch of horn headed freaks are out to destroy freedom. 

 

There's gonna be lot's of drama, politics, murder & whatnot. The usual MO but this has the distinct feel of being the fourth & final act of DA:I.

 

Here's hoping the DA team don't just play it safe having the Hero's defeat the invaders & wrap it up with the mother of all exposition  teases from Solas before he's off through an eluvian (Witch Hunt anyone?) 

 

Without a doubt the Solas tease is coming    but the trailer shows so much political & personal unrest for the inquisitor that I feel it would be a huge cop out if you just saved Thedas hunky dory then just ride the bull off over the sun set & call it a day.

 

The inquisition as a super power of Thedas has to go along with it's leader IMO. The invasion/ politics destroy the inquisition & the mark destroys the Herald. 

 

Personally I would find this so much more interesting than the same old same old fairytale hero saves the world & is redeemed type of conclusions.

 

So do the right thing Bioware & kill the inquisitor    

 

I think we should be able to see at least two type of endings in the dlc and gamers could decide for themselves wich, they think is the best ending. Me? I would probably play both endings just because I could.

That happens my Inquisitor may uncover the good ol' walking bomb spell and cast it on themselves out of spite. May not kill 'em but sure to ruin someone's day.

You mean, the game which redeemed the series it concluded by turning its infuriating quasi-fascistic heinleinesque invincible super-space-marine into a tragic figure who realizes that her martial prowess won't give her side more than pyrrhic victories?

I remember it well.

[Chrissamuel]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Warden makes a cameo to mercy kill the Inquisitor because the Mark has tainted them or if they and Hawke go through the Eluvian with Solas.

 

Also wonder if the Warden (or Hawke) who was left in the Fade will appear having been saved by Solas.

 

And on the subject of everyone's favourite bald elf I really hope you get to hit him especially as a romanced Inquisitor.

[Rekkampum]

I don't know you guys... But my inquisitor is immortal.

 

I totally do that all the time at Skyhold.

[BansheeOwnage]

Well, technically only one Hawke by blood, since everyone else is an Amell. 

Right, my bad.
 

If Carver disappeared for a couple of weeks between Acts, would we necessarily know?
While I am generally a fan of Schrödinger's Lore, we don't need that here. What I'm suggesting is mechanically identical to any quest with multiple possible outcomes.

I still dislike the approach *shrug*

 

That's your decision. Some people can't think of the greater good. 

No, I just disagree that certain outcomes are good at all.

[Jedi Master of Orion]

The Inquisitor is only immortal within his own realm. 

[BansheeOwnage]

Mother Giselle said that when the Inquisition was no longer needed, they stepped down. I see this Inquisition doing that after the Qunari threat. As for the Inquisitor's fate? Most likely it's in our hands and will be based on our previous actions.

The Inquisition shouldn't disband if you don't want it to. And the devs did say we'll "get to decide the fate of the Inquisition" in this DLC, so I doubt it'll have to disband.

Shepard's martial prowess was overwritten by the plot the moment she decided the best way to shoot a tube with a ranged weapon was to walk right at it while it explodes.

[Nixou]

Shepard's martial prowess was eaten by the plot the moment she decided the best way to shoot a tube with a ranged weapon was to walk right at it while it explodes.

 

 

Yeah, Bioware committed the most heinous of crimes when they wrote a protagonist physically broken by artillery fire and mentally crippled by PTSD finally acting upon the suicidal impulses hinted at since the first episode.

[kyles3]

You get to play your protags last moments. It's a sacrifice ending where he stays to let others get away and fights until he's finally overwhelmed and killed. You control him during that fight.

 

It's an incredibly stirring sequence--some real Legion of the Dead ****. That's the kind of bittersweet ending I can get behind: the hero going down swinging. That's really the only thing I don't like about ME3's Destroy ending--Shepard's in this sterile surrealistic environment with some cryptic ******* kid and not in the trenches with her comrades, defying the Reapers to the last. Choosing your ending in the final moments is a tepid way to end a game, there's no getting around it.

 

If there are going to be multiple endings to the last DLC, I hope they're done a bit more gracefully. If the Inquisitor's actions decide the outcome, that'll be great. Just please no more PICK YOUR ENDING, HERO: A, B, OR C?

Whatever it's going to be should be locked in as soon as you open the initial mission, based on the choices you made during the game.

[sunnydxmen]

death would be predictable bioware has a habit of killing heroes ,but its always option too find another. way too live i will go with that dying is boring in predictable. in adds nothing.
