Yes, then JOHN CENA comes in and saves the day by giving the big bad the five knuckle shuffle

Absolutely not. And I say that as someone who views Origins' ultimate sacrifice as not only one of the best endings to any game I have ever played, but also the only acceptable ending. Here is the thing: the sacrifice was a choice, and it aligned perfectly with what I had always wanted for that particular character and with her own values and goals. That is what made it awesome and meaningful. For the writers to force a one-size-fits-all death on the Inquisitor would utterly miss the mark on all counts of what makes the ultimate sacrifice work. It would be the polar opposite, a hollow and meaningless waste, designed entirely to rub our faces in how little our characters matter in what is really the story of Bioware's pet NPCs.

 

Ugly as it sounds, the Inquisitor may indeed be useless dead weight from here on out in the writers' minds. But if they can't give us a respectful send-off, meaningful choices to pick from that "speak" to different Inquisitors in different ways, one last chance to feel that maybe the player and the player character aren't just window dressing ... then I don't think there's much point in buying future games because this treatment will only continue. And I absolutely do NOT play games to feel like some hapless tool for the uber-NPCs to use, abuse, break and discard on a whim, someone whose accomplishments and friendships are erased as easily as chalk on a blackboard.

 

If that is the only way writers could make their "meta-story" which incidentally I couldn't care less about work, they should be writing novels instead of interactive forms of entertainment. The protagonist must matter. The player should have a choice -- even though not all choices can be addressed in future games.

I'd love it but the chances of it happening are zero. Just imagine the reaction if it's Solas who does it...

[Vegeta 77]

I think if bioware were to kill of quis it would be in the main game not a dlc.

 

But if he can it should not be the only option.

[Vegeta 77]

That's the thing about this DLC. You can't just play it when you reach Skyhold. This is the epilogue and there's no continuing after it ends.

Did not know that then maybe it is game over for him

[BabyPuncher]

Such as Witcher 3, where the existential threat to the universe is literally handwaved away with the power of love by the mary sue co-heroine, which she survives in 2 out of 3 endings.

 

This really happens?

[BansheeOwnage]

We all want the jump ship option. Like F this place, good luck! But would most of us actually choose our inquisitors life over your companions? I don't know if I would. Sigh.

That depends on the companion

 

Stupid question incoming but the thread title has made me wonder; Inky says their own hand is killing them... So what happens if they simply cut it off? Will it regrow?

That should work in theory, unless for the sake of the DLC's plot Bioware... handwaves it out of being an option (Yyeeeaaaaahhhh )

 

I can definitely imagine this needing to happen if the Inquisitor survives, which would also make it a lot easier to move them out of the picture since their combat skills would be dramatically reduced and the power of the mark gone. Hmm...

Nothing can stop the five moves of doom!

It will go on an Evil Dead 2 inspired rampage. Horror movies offer a long history of possessed hands getting chopped off and then making their own arrangements.

I'd say BioWare would be taking the easy way out by actually killing off the Inquisitor.  Especially since the OP didn't give a single good reason for killing him off.  IMO, killing off the Inquisitor would add absolutely nothing other than shock value.  That's way cheesier than simply having the Inquisitor still alive afterwards.

[jedidotflow]

I think the Inquisitor will go through the eluvian to 'somewhere'. In the trailer there is a voice saying like "whatever happens to the inquisition, the world needs you.  I need you.". That doesn't sound like the Inquisitor would die.

 

And this:

The Inquisitor is passing through the eluvian, leaving the helmet behind.

 

Or maybe Solas is the killer and the DA4 protagonist is a companion in Scout Harding's revenge.

[Rawgrim]

Yeah, lets make the protagonist die in some optional DLC.

 

Kind of like killing off Frodo in a 10 page comic book set after the events in LOTR.

Well, that's a different situation since the LotR story would already had been completed.

[Rawgrim]

It is still lame as heck.

[Rawgrim]

 

It may be optional, but it's not a DLC that can be played just for fun when you first get to Skyhold. This ends your story for good until you role a new character and start over.

 

 

Yeah but the hero's death is not something you stuff into optional content. It is pretty vital (no pun intended) content.

I'm trying to get a handle on "No, they have to kill them off in the main story", and how that would actually work. So Cory wins? Maybe both of you get sucked into the Fade and the anchor blows up? The absolute best way to deal with this is to kill them off in the last chapter of Inquisition. It prevents all the spam about how Inqy is coming back for the next game, or the one after that. How many posts in this thread have mentioned the Warden's return for the next game? I'll be there's been more than one, and it's not even Tuesday yet. They'd have been better off killing the Warden off at the end of Awakening, no matter who the Warden was.

It just leads to more hassle down the line, trying to appease the "But my OGB", or "but my Warden..." posters. So instead of spending the time trying to find a way to pay some fanservice to those that can't let go of their Wardens, they could have spent some time working on more content for the main game. So by all means, I hope they kill off the Inquisitor, so that, in the event there's another DA game, they don't have to account for the Inquisitor at all.

[Dancing_Dolphin]

I suppose dying could be an option for those who want it, but I don't. I want my Quizzy Lavellan to be promoted to elven goddess. She did the work and she is worthy, so why not?

[Rawgrim]

Kill him off in the next game, kind of like Hawke could get killed off in DA:I.

[Giantdeathrobot]

This really happens?

 

Spoiler

Pretty much. The variance in the ending depends on whenever Ciri survives (which happens if you were nice to her, you even get little flashbacks and all, hence the Power of Love). The other variance is if she either studies Witchery under Geralt or goes on to become the ruler of the setting's most powerful faction by birthright. Let's also mention that no matter what, Geralt smacks the generic Big Bad in the face with the only casualties being nameless Nilfgaardian mooks.

 
I really liked TW3, but the ending was fairly weak unless Ciri dies (which only happens if you were a jerk to her). Ironically enough I have the same opinion of Inquisition and its ending. At least Inquisition ends with the dragon duel and the amazing scene with Solas and Flemeth.
 
As for the Inquisitor dying, I'm fine if it is an option. Forcefully killing the main character in an add-on would suck. A lot.

[Lord Bolton]

Giantdeathrobot, please, put this into spoiler. Some of us haven't finished TW3 yet (including me...).

[Felis Menari]

Everyone against their inquisitor dying supports MEHEM.

The circumstances (pre-Trespass, at least) do not place the Inquisitor in a hopeless situation in which their death is seemingly inevitable, so the comparison you're trying to make here really doesn't work.
