I picked Inquisitor and Dual

[Remki]

Well, considering the end of Trespasser, I really think my Inquisitor isn't finished. So I'd honestly like to see a continuation rather than starting over with someone new who doesn't have the same motivation. Plus I think it would be a great opportunity to flesh out some things that were rather scant in Inquisition, especially as they relate to the Inquisitor (relationships, characterization, history, etc). But IF we start with someone new I actually... really don't want a cameo. Not after the way the Hawke cameo was handled. I'd rather it be a clean break with a "f*ck off I'm busy" letter ala the Warden.

[KumoriYami]

I wish for dual protagonists. It doesn't feel right to go after Solas if you're trying to redeem/kill him with a different character given that the Inquisitor was probably the one who fell hardest at his lack of transparency. It also makes even less sense to go after him on a new PC if you romance him...

 

...but as we need a new character that doesn't have connections to Solas, it makes sense for there to be a new pc for DA4 who has no ties to him.

[Orian Tabris]

Can we please just have a new protagonist, with maybe cameos from Hawke, Quizzy, whoever? We don't need the PC to have a pre-existing reason, especially when a cameo appearance can fill the purpose a pre-existing PC would have, while allowing us to explore new characters of our own creation.

 

I mean, there are many ways the Inquisitor can contribute to DA4's story without being the player character. And those don't even have to relate to Solas, though they probably should.

They shouldn't have set us up with a pre-existing reason then. They took the vanilla ending which was pretty much wrapped up in a nice neat little package and tore everything open again with Trespasser, giving the inquisitor strong motivation to continue on and unfinished business.

The justification of "Solas knows you" is just plain stupid as one to disqualify the Inquisitor; it's going to be hard to see how DA:4 can justify freezing you out. 

[Voldecuri]

I'm of the opinion that the Solas story would be best wrapped up with the Inquisitor as a playable character (whether there's another protagonist or not). I think the arm removal is a great way to bring the Inquisitor back down to level one, for a new game.

 

However, if the next game doesn't focus on Solas, then I'd be perfectly happy with a new protagonist.

[spinachdiaper]

In my opinion DA4 needs a significant time gap from the end of Trespasser, like 50 to 75 years have past so that new characters can emerge and some of these tried and true characters can exit stage left already.

I heard somewhere though that if they did another game that they will finish solas story and romance arc. Can't remember where though sorry.

They said if they'll make more DA content in the future, they may finish Solavellan arc. But content may include books, comics and such. 

 

I just want Lavellan to be the one to redeem or kill Solas. Plzzz

Not everyone played as Lavellan and hunted for bald elven booty, you know.

I know that. I've also given other reasons throughout this thread and others.

Since the world is under a fairly immediate threat, I don't suppose too much time can have passed between games, maybe a few years, since Solas said it would be a few years yet before he could destroy the world, and we naturally would be taking action to stop him at the last possible moment .  I think it'll make a lot of sense to have the Inquisitor as an NPC since we're presumably going to be one of the major people that she recruits to help stop Solas.  Sera should be around somewhere too, since she/Andruil will naturally be playing a role in stopping Solas also.  Also around should be Flemeth (I get the feeling this whole plot that Solas has cooked up is part of Flemeth's plan, she's one step ahead of him and using his misguided efforts to further her own agenda, in a way he won't necessarily like) , and where Flemeth is, Morrigan should be around also.  So lots of returns from old favorites, but I see the new main character being 'the' main character, no sharing time.  I liked sharing time in TW3, it was always fun playing as Ciri, but I don't see that dynamic as the best idea for DA4.  Working for/with the Inquisitor will be plenty of fun, I don't need to play 'as' the Inquisitor again, a new character will be totally fine with me.

Look at Weeke's comment. I think my hopes are dashed.

[TevinterSupremacist]

Yeah, but all DA games will stay within the "Dragon Age" and each age lasts 100 years. The limits are getting tight.

 

Which is why I think the decision to make each age last a century was a really poor one. Should have been 500-1000 years. More creative freedom.

[Fredward]

Solas should've just iced the Inquisitor and none of this would have been an issue. Or maybe but them in a blissful Fade pocket or something. I don't wanna see the Inquisitor as the protagonist in DA4, cameo would be fine though.

[Dieb]

After Trespasser, please for the love of god, stick with the Inquisitor.

Everything has been set in motion, and I couldn't bear to have another character written up into greatness, and then forcibly succeeded by yet another, even greater hero, because "the community kinda didn't like them" - again.

It's getting really absurd at this point. I've had quite enough plot-diluting crowdpleasers in vanilla DAI as it was; and after finally having formed a bond with my Inquisitor after the last expansion, I would truly dread slapping together The Chosen One #845 for -yet again- somebody else's grand finale.


This opinion is solely based on the transition that is Trespasser, which is thereby set in stone. It was a different story for DAO -> DA2, but now we've entered Mass Effect- esque chronology. A certain momentum needs to be kept, and I am getting sick of my lazy heroes just randomly retiring when they're needed the very most because polls.

A new, unrelated plot in any DA5 would obviously benefit from a new protagonist.

Actually I think trespasser does a good job with making it reasonable for the inquisitor to be sidelined.

When people say this, I have to wonder if we played the same game.

[Heimdall]

They lost the Anchor, their arm, and their organization was reduced, at least.  The DLC may have set the Inquisitor up to be involved in hunting down Solas, but it also worked very hard to make it reasonable for the Inquisitor to be removed from the front lines of that fight.

[ModernAcademic]

In all honesty, I think it's better if the Inquisitor has a certain participation in DA4, but not as a PC.

 

I am curious to see how his/her actions impacted the world and reshaped Southern Thedas. For example:

 

A Dorian who was kicked out would oppose the Inquisition' efforts in Tevinter to find Solas? Would he make the Lucerni ally with the Inq.'s political rivals?

 

A Solas who learned humans are crude and stupid would oppose the Inquisitor with all his forces, redoubling his efforts to tear the Veil, regardless of innocents?

 

A Vivienne who saw the Inq. support freedom for mages would play the Game against the Inquisition and maneuver the Circles to try and sabotage the College of Enchanters?

 

Wardens who were exiled would become a liability, forming groups of bandits that assault travelers?

 

Placing Briala in power could make Orlais and Ferelden believe the Inquisition DID serve Fen'Harel after all and turn them against the Inquisition?

 

 

 

There are many consequences to the Inq.'s leadership style that can be fully explored in the next game. And to watch them from a 3rd person perspective shall be quite interesting. 

 

Also, consider this: What if out new PC sees him/herself forced to oppose the Inquisition in order to undo much of the damage caused by the institution? Or to help it in order to combat a new threat? There are many possibilities.

In no DA game has the protagonist start out strong. You can argue that this is a way to de-power the inquisitor for the next game.

Please no. This has been overused and I'm tired of it.

[Heimdall]

You can argue, you can postulate lyrium prosthetic arm technology with no precedent, you can ignore that this does nothing to remove a mage's knowledge of spells, but you can't deny the much simpler explanation that this move is intended as a way to justify removing the Inquisitior from the battlefield and into a more administrative role while still being part of the fight, especially given the statement about their adventuring days being over.

 

And besides, you're wrong.  Awakening started the protagonist out strong.

[sylvanaerie]

Voted.  Just wanted to add, I'd prefer an entirely new protagonist, but I wouldn't be averse to seeing the Inquisitor in an advisory capacity, especially if the story deals with the events left over from Trespasser.

[Super Drone]

Says  the person with their PC cuddling Solas as their avatar.

 

Your bias is showing.

[Ryzaki]

You know if they're just going to go to a new protag...

 

Why the hell couldn't my Inquisitor have been left alone?

 

Why can't my Pc just join Bull's Chargers? Why does Solas even tell him what he's going to do? Why couldn't he have been as vague as Morrigan and then we get a epilogue scene with him talking to another ancient elf that fills in the gaps. And my Quizzy none the wiser skips off into the sunset. at least then I'd be looking forwards to this but now I'm just annoyed. I don't need my Pc to be an advisor new protag can figure that crap out themselves.

 

Why ruin my quizzy's ride into the sunset ending for a dangling plot thread that'll be solved by someone else.
