You can choose more than one option.

[riverbanks]

New protagonist with Inquisitor cameo would be ideal. My IQ is not interested in being the big damn hero saving the world from all evil anymore, but she would be willing to return to help the new hero of the week deal with the egg again, just to tie up the last loose ends. Worked well enough for Hawke, and would for Inky too.

[Eivuwan]

Dual will probably be the best compromise and will satisfy most players. However, it's going to be hard to implement.

[Jaison1986]

That would be hard, but then again, the Inquisitor specialization is a option in the keep. Why bother with that unless the Inquisitor returned with some fighting role in future games?

[dsl08002]

The problem is that just like the warden there is no set personality, if they said that it wouldnt work with warden as NPC then the same thing could be said regarding the inquisitor.

So cameo no.

As PC Just like the warden yes. But should they implement a new PC no in my opinion

Not exactly. The Inquisitor is voiced. And the Inquisitor has by the end of the day an neutral personality. The most that would change is their world views, like Solas, their decision to disband the Inquisition or not, etc.

[Former_Fiend]

Well, without going into specifics, Trespasser's ending would make it rather difficult for the Inquisitor to continue being the primary protagonist from a gameplay point of view. 

 

Aside from that, I'd just rather there be a new protagonist. I prefer that aspect of the DA series where each game has a different PC and a different party.

 

For that matter, I'd prefer it if we didn't get any carry over party members, either.

[AllThatJazz]

I'd prefer a dual protag, with Inquisitor as a secondary playable character (like Ciri), but the longer storyline involving the new person. Though I'd be happy to see Inquisitor return as sole protagonist also. I don't think the Solas as personal nemesis plotline makes any sense without the Inquisitor being the one who resolves it.

[The dead fish]

The inquisitor again would be my preference. Much more interesting to me. Closing his story, closing the story of Solas strongly tied to him and the inquisition over its final fate, while having a new world and context in Tevinter and with the Qunari war happening, with new companions too, in two episodes ( the first one being inquisition with Corypheus as the bad guy, a bad guy who rose thanks to our real enemy, Solas ) would be actually awesome. It would be new, it would be refreshing, it would be relevant, and after definitely closing this chapter, for DA5, we could come back to a new protagonist again. 

 

Otherwise, why not a dual protagonist, indeed. 

[Kaidan Fan]

I'm with riverbanks. 

 

They've always stated a new protag with each game and I'm perfectly okay with that.  I don't mind my Inquisitor coming back to help with "a certain matter" but other than that she is done with her part in saving the world.

[caradoc2000]

New protagonist

[Former_Fiend]

I'd be ok with the Inquisitor having a major role in the game that's more significant than just a cameo. I'd be fine with them being the mission control/mentor figure to the new protagonist, and using that to tie the new blood into the conflict with Solas.

 

But I think there should be one playable character, and that it should be someone who

What I really don't want, is for the inquistor to get the Hawke treatment. I mean, I chose the sacrifice side and I thought that was great but the other side... Hawke just up and ditches? Really? Not to mention all the complaints about the blood magic hate..

 

So to avoid that, I think the inquisitor needs to be playable. I'd also be okay with a new protag if they did dual pcs. But I really really really want this inquisitor/Solas thing to live up to it's potential. Plus I kinda got really attached to my inquisitor in the end. More attached than I've ever been to a character. At least as far as create-a-characters go...

[thats1evildude]

New protagonist, possible Inquisitor cameo.

 

I'm not sure if Solas will be the villain of the next game.

[NeverlandHunter]

I want my Warden to return and have to clean up everybody's sh**! Spoilers for DLC

Spoiler

The Qunari have attacked, the Titans are stirring, the Veil is threatened, Adamant is being all sketchy, there is infighting in Southern Thread because of the mages, and people are resisting the Divine.

Who you gonna call? The Warden! Doo doo dooo dooo doo doo.
*coughs*
Uh, yeah, it's just a fantansy but the Warden would get Thedas straightened out!

I don't like the idea of using a disability to discard a character.
We have spend a whole game with a magical hand, I would like to see a game with a "technological hand" (like the crossbow we see in the Red Jenny epilogue) maybe with different abilities depending of your class .
I think there's real gameplay possibilities here.

[Qun00]

Solas was one of the Inquisitor's allies. This is his/her fight.

It doesn't seem right to have anyone else handle it.

The problem with this point is that this "epic" friendship/rivalry between the Inquisitor and Solas that people keep bringing up as the reason why the Inquisitor must come back only exists if you care enough about Solas to be such a great friend or great rival. And a lot of people just... don't.

My own IQ was neutral about Solas until the end, and even now, knowing the truth, she still doesn't care enough about him to consider him an epic rival. She cares a lot about the world she lives in not being destroyed, sure, but the person of Solas himself is still whatever, you know? There's no sense of epic rivalry, there's no narrative potential for anything there.

This is the same place we were at the end of Origins: a lot of people were sure we had to keep playing the Warden because there was a lot of potential for an epic resolution between the Warden and Morrigan, but a lot of people also didn't care enough about Morrigan to see any further rivalry in there. Same thing here: if your IQ had a strong relationship with Solas (be it friendship, romance or rivalry), it feels like letting go of the potential storytelling in that is a waste; but if your IQ never much cared about Solas one way or another, it's easy to see the Inquisitor's story as over and done, and Solas being just a loose end that needs to be wrapped up at some point - but nothing worth missing out on a completely new story with a completely new hero for.

[Former_Fiend]

Solas was one of the Inquisitor's allies. This is his/her fight.

The whole Flemeth/Morrigan thing was much more the Warden's fight than anything and someone else handled that, in so much as it was handled at all.

 

I don't know. Maybe it's just because I felt no personal connection to Solas at all, but I honestly don't care which PC deals with him, so long as he's dealt with.

[roselavellan]

I voted for Inquisitor as returning protagonist, but I'm certain that whether Bioware decides on a new or returning protagonist, they will do a fantastic job writing it.

[The Ascendant]

New character!

Okay, but that would be exactly what a new character would feel as well... "meh". Nothing is gained(at least as far as this relationship/conflict is concerned) by choosing a new character over the inquisitor.

You can say this about any of Bioware's antagonists though - I mean, not everyone felt that connection with, say Jon Irenicus in BG2, or Sun Li in Jade Empire or Howe/Loghain in Origins - and yet they are still recognised as Bioware's better antagonists precisely because of this personal connection with the protags (or with human noble in Howe's case). Unlike, say, Harbinger in ME2, who was really very forgettable and nothing beyond 'random bad guy'.

 

Morrigan was different - she was never a clear antagonist, more an enigma. And she never said 'I'm going to destroy the world soon' like Solas has. To me, it would feel like a massive waste of a storytelling opportunity to have a former comrade-in-arms set himself against us and the rest of the world, only for the next game to involve us wandering about, levelling up some entirely new guy, while the Inquisitor kicks back and lets someone else save Thedas from this fellow we knew well and who betrayed our trust.

 

And yes evildude, it assumes that Solas's plan is relatively immediate and will be a focus of the next game. If it isn't then a) that's a bit weird but b ) sure, new protag until it's time for that plot to rear its head again.
