Based on the Trespasser ending, I have a very strong feeling that we'll be seeing the Inquisitor as a PC for a very long time to come. DA 4 and 5 may follow him or her in a similar fashion to ME3 having just one protagonist.

 

This would actually open a seriously crazy amount of doors for replay value with the current system.  

• You could play the subsequent games as different races and classes to see just what changes between them and I hope its more than just dialogue options involved. 
• Your option for Divine would change exactly how the Chantry and Mages are treated in subsequent play-throughs instead of just having them at war with one another like DA 2's forced ending.
•  Will we see another Blight and how would it affect the nations of Ferelden and Thedas if you sent the Wardens into exile?
• Your actions with your fellow companions would help dictate whom you'd see on your side in later games (Hoping to see Cullen in real battle on this one).
• They could also extend it beyond there and allow us to use the recruits from DAMP and the recruits you've gained through each game as party members to expand upon the style of game
  • With that in mind we could level MP characters in the SP game to transfer them over for use as well as allowing them to bring SP gear into MP instead of needing to lock us to a structured and annoying RNG system.
  • We could also see MP characters get transferred in some capacity from DA:I to the next title because they're all members of the not-Inquisition except the elves if they 'all' left as the epilogue stated.
  • They could then just continue MP and expand upon it from title to title instead of rebuilding completely from the ground up.  
• We could see a real mass combat system appear in DA due to the amount of people you'd have to handle, it would probably handle in a similar fashion to calling in the reinforcements in DA:O
• Depending on your actions you may or may not have Hawke available to pester or you may look into finding a way to bringing him or Straud.
• We all know Dagna is amazing and we still have the ultra-savant Sandal running around, what if they found a way to Transfer the mark from the Inquisitor's stone arm to a mystical gauntlet? 

Just a few things I've been thinking of since completing Trespasser btw, but I do think we'll see a return hero out of this one and not just another one shot based on that sort of ending.

Whilst I definitely think the Inquisitor is coming back, I don't think will get half the things you posted. It would make an amazing game, but I can't see them adding in that many differences that rely on you playing a previous game.

Inquisitor is likely to get a cameo appearance in DA4, but I doubt he will be anything more.

[In Exile]

There is 0 chance the Inquisitor is the protagonist. Aside from the Inquisition being dismantled or co-opted, the ending literally cripples the character. The last dialogue - about finding people the Dread Wolf doesn't know - is just really on the nose about new protagonists.

I love new protags, so while i want the Inquisitor to be back to deal with Solas, i wouldn't want them to have more games than it takes to resolve that conflict.

Considering that Inquisitor till now wielded unique, divine power it's no wonder they were knocked down a peg. And actually, quite a few people are excited with the prospect of possible disabled protagonist with some sort of cool, class-dependent and upgradable artificial/magical arm.

 

Inquisition being dismantled and co-opted also doesn't mean much, considering that we have epilogue slides and post-epilogue scene that strongly suggest that Inquisition is still active, but working predominantly behind the scenes. The decision whether to redeem or possibly kill Solas also tells us that "Inquisition will try and do this"...

Oh, there will be a new protagonist, of that I'm pretty sure - but Inquisitor will likely have a way more important role in DA4 than, say, Hawke in DAI; we may even get sections of game where we play as them. The whole Trespasser DLC was about Solas basically saving South and Inquisition with it and marking Inquisitor as either his nemesis or redeemer. Considering the importance of the relationship of current main DA antagonist with DAI's hero, it's highly unlikely they'd be relegated to a minor role in the upcoming title.

On a slightly different note, has there been an official announcement from Bioware stating if they had started working on DA4?

[Mr.House]

They could go dual protag which would be interesting and open lots of doors for narrative.

It's doubtful they'll be mentioning the the next game any time soon. They'll probably be wanting to get MEA out the door first and the new IP which apparently doesn't have a name yet.

In the meantime it's more than likely the remaining writing some drafts whilst a couple of devs knock out a few prototypes.

Last anyone heard it hasn't been green lit yet which may mean they're still working on a submission.

Makes sense. Though there shouldn't be any issue with EA's approval, the game was more successful than they might've anticipated. Also, judging by the fact there are already two games in development it could well be 3-4 years before the next game is launched. Maybe they'll announce something on E3 next year. Let's hope.

They have said the Inquisitions story has ended, that was the entire point of the Trespasser DLC. And the Inquisitor themselves literally said "my adventuring days are over" that was not a small or subtle way of Bioware saying "the inquisitor will not be the main character of the next game"

 

Also, bioware have said, many many times, that Dragon Age is a story of Thedas, not a story about one single protagonist. I think it highly unlikely Inquisitor will be the PC in the next games, it's obviously not impossible, but i would comfortably bet quite a bit of money on it.

Trespasser seems to have given out conflicting messages. I played the ending until i saw them all, and the Inquisitor doesn't always mention stopping adventuring, As well as that, they are the one actively searching for Solas as a friend or enemy. The "finding people he doesn't know" is most likely talking about the new PC, but not 100% until Bioware states that was it's purpose. They should've resolved his story with the Inquisitor, because then there wouldn't have been an issue.

 

I find that "it's about Thedas" argument to be quite weak. It's not like having a protag for more than one game makes it about them and not the world, in fact it can give a bigger opportunity to develop lore. It's definitely not something they should hide behind as to why they don't have returning PC. "It's suited the story to have it happen like this" is better than "it's about Thedas" (in my opinion, anyway)

Not really. If anything Trespasser has opened new threat that needs to be prevented, since they are the only people being aware of Solas's threat, Inquisitor's final quote backs that up saying they will stop Solas no matter what. Whether you disbanded inquisition or keep them they are not out of the picture.

 

Just because it's story of Thedas doesn't mean you can't have the same protagonist again and it's also not the first time where Bioware said something and then changed their minds.

[Semyaza82]

I find it really interesting how different people can take totally different things away from the same material. For me Trespasser felt absolutely like a goodbye to the Inquisitor as a protagonist.  I think they'll feature in some way, but I'd be really surprised if they come back as a PC. Of course none of us will know if we're right for ages yet

Yeah, I'd imagine they'd want to keep the series going. I know I prefer these things not to be rushed.

Hopefully they can find the happy medium between rushed and Half life 3, or Duke nukem forever. LOL

I think she'll play a major role as far as the premise goes, but I doubt she'll have more than a supportive role. Trespasser seems to hint without any subtlety that the Inquisitor's role as the protagonist is over and that they intend to work with new characters in the next setting.

A role as a protagonist is over... despite declaring that they'd either personally kill or redeem what seems to be the main antagonist for a new game?

There are plenty of things that you had control over based on your actions from the previous two titles already, such as who lived and died based on your actions throughout the world. Plus with the Keep in place you can always change things to fit how you played through if you want to have a 'perfect' playthrough. It would also be nice to see some people actually stay dead when I kill them instead of "Oh magic light brought me back" or "That knife wasn't deep enough" or "You only knocked me out"

They used that same thing about Shepard and having to get a team together, we still saw Shep leading the charge and he got the two fan favorites back plus a cast of new arrivals to play with. You know how they fixed it so they didn't expect Shepard coming, they killed him off. People wouldn't expect the one armed man (Fugitive reference if you didn't catch it) to be leading a new band of warriors to finish what he blames himself for occurring. I dont consider the loss of an arm crippling when we've already seen that they can make Golems and other things work through a mix of magic and engineering. If you decide to say yes to Sera you end with a crossbow limb in its stead as it is. 

 

Side Note here: They would most likely do the same thing they did with the ME transitions where you got bonuses for completing the previous title with certain things still intact (such as the fish from ME2 to ME3) but you wouldn't start at the game's level cap. A cap which shouldn't exist considering I was capped out before Hakkon even came out........

You don't have to be at the forefront of a fight to be involved in it.

Just because it's story of Thedas doesn't mean you can't have the same protagonist again and it's also not the first time where Bioware said something and then changed their minds.

 

Oh don't get me wrong, creative media is always very fluid and things change all the time, especially in games. I was of the impression given at the end of Trespasser than no matter what option you chose, The Inquisition as we know it is just gone, it's either disbanded or it's reduced in size massively and no longer called The Inquisition, and it's purpose shifts to finding Solas and stopping him from destroying the world.

 

Now the idea of Bioware lopping off the inquisitors arm being the reason behind my opinion that they aren't returning, besides my previous statement, is that this happened at the end of the story, i'm given the impression they're hanging up their Inquisitorial adventuring hat and going off to find somebody to do the work for them, and they actually say as much as well. If they lost their arm at the beginning of the game i would think "well something is going to happen and they will continue to be the protagonist" it just seems much more logical to me that this is Bioware's way of saying that the inquisitor has done a good job, time for them to step out from the front and work from behind now.

[Abyss108]

The loss of a single arm is not crippling. Some of the original designs for Bull had him with only one arm. You can easily get some sort of attachment that could hold a shield or sword or whatever your character had.

 

It's a good excuse to put them back to a lower level, but makes no sense for forcing your character to give up fighting.

[Blooddrunk1004]

Let's not forget what happened to Shepard in ME2: blasted off the ship, dies from lack of oxygen and then falls into atmosphere while nothing is left but a burned meat and they managed to brought the character back, still able to function and fight properly.

 

You think Inquisitor will become criple with loss of an arm in the world where magic is around every corner and where people can be brought back from the dead?

[Kulyok]

The Inquisitor says her adventuring days are over (if you choose to keep the Inquisition). It kind of makes sense, if she's an archer, or a dual-dagger build, or a warrior, or a rift mage. But a normal mage? Lightning and fireballs are still there, Knight-Enchanter's sword is still there, she could and would be a badass. Unless the Anchor robbed her of all her magic, I suppose.

Well to bioware, it means they are now an important NPC even your own character says they need new people to face solas people he does not know because he knows how the inquisitor and his friends will act so they need a unknown person. 

 

We have a new protaganist each game that is what dragon age is about they tried a set protagonist with Hawke it did not work out so now they are keeping with their guns. Let's not forget having the inquisitor running around tevinter and considering they are not really "liked" over there would be like wearing an ambulance siren on your head in solas's eyes. 

 

Hence why the inquisitor needs the help of new people. Deal with it they are not the protagonist anymore shouting at bioware that you want it is not going to change their minds just like the people who want the HOF I state again your character is now an important npc.
