In Dragon age Origin we can choose if the Hero of Ferelden lives or die
In Dragon age inquisition we can choose if Hawke lives or die
I think we should have an option in DA:4 to let the inquisitor die, but in a hardly choice than Hawke - Stroud/Alistair/Loghain
Surely a lot of people let Hawke in the fade to save Alistair if he is in love with the Hero of Ferelden
Have to choose in DA:4 like Inquisitor - Morrigan or another important character should be really interesting.
Surprise deaths only work if you're not expecting it. Otherwise, the emotion is lost.
I'm all for it.
They would have my vote if they want to go for it.
I let Hawke die because i feel sorry for the writers who have to shoe-horn in past characters in order to appease fans. So absolutely, hope i get to kill him.
1) I'm not a fan of "choose which character you like more and want to live" choices. It's a ****** poor style of choice, that provokes no thought and less emotional impact(because the character you don't like/like less dies). Unless they can really spice it up, I'm against it. The Hawke/warden choice was okay.. It had the appearance of a good amount of spice, but didn't have the consequences(or rewards) to back it up. Basically what I'm getting at is that if bw can make the characters death more meaningful than "I didn't like you... you're dead." then yes I'm in. If they can't....
2) With the whole Inquisitor vs new protag argument, it might be a cool way to start the game and allow the player to pick which one to play as and the other one dies.

Those left in the fade will *likely* die. Emphasis on likely. This is DA where even if the person dies they can still be live due to spirits and magic. And the Fade is filled with Spirits, magic and demons and more.

Maybe our character in DA4 if he travels to the fade he has to kill the nightmare and hawke spirits helps!
Like divine justinia.
I'll have to take a "whatever" stance to this. I have never understood why people find it interesting or at all edgy for the protagonists to be able to die within the narrative, especially in cases like Hawke's where it does not make a big difference at all.
But I'm not against the option, I just hope that if Bioware presents me with the option of "sacrficing" a protagonist that it will actually have an effect sacrificing Stroud won't have too, otherwise the warden dies every time.
I'm gonna go with no on this one. The Warden? It meant something...and it resonated. Third game? Warden is STILL being talked about. Now Hawke...the choice REALLY seemed senseless. They built Hawke up as this game changer, then demoted them to NPC. THEN gave you the choice to leave them behind, to hold the line...with a big fat MAYBE next to them. Will Hawke even be MENTIONED in the next game? No, seems they decided to tie that up pretty well. Considering that if you saved Feynriel, you have an EXTREMELY powerful Dreamer who could have guided Hawke to ANOTHER Rift or helped fight off the Nightmare. If Anders was alive, you THINK he would have found a way to rip open the Veil to save Hawke? Or Merrill? Or Bethany? If Alistair was left, well, he OR Loghain were tough as nails. Loghain in particular was a grizzled old war horse with little to lose. Stroud...well, okay, Stroud was probably screwed, but the others? Felt like a waste. Also, if they HAD gone with the Warden instead...I had a mage who seemed to exist half in the Fade ANYWAY...what was stopping them from just stepping through and back into reality? Cole did it! A Fade walking death machine shouldn't have TOO much issue with such.
If there is going to be a death, it has to have MEANING. Not just shock value. Killing the Inquisitor would have to have meaning. After all that happened, the only way I could see it having ANY meaning is if Solas himself did the deed. To show that he had FINALLY crossed that Moral Event Horizon and there was NO way you could redeem him. OR...that one act that finally breaks him into submission. Accidentally killing his best friend (AFTER he'd killed Mythal), sending him into utter despair, with him begging to be released from his life (watch though if they did that...it'd probably be the final ingredient in his 'torch the world' plan). Random mook number 7 wouldn't cut it. Even one armed, the Inquisitor is still a threat and exceedingly dangerous (especially a mage or stabby, stabby rogue).
Death with meaning, or heroic sacrifice. No 'ifs', 'maybes', or 'possibly' dead. Do it right, or go home, ya know?
If they just constantly kill off our protagonists, it's going to get very predictable. The option was perfect in DAO, because it's built into what a Warden is. Heroic sacrifice is Plan A, and Morrigan happens to offer a Plan B.
Hawke's death still works because it wasn't expected (not by me, anyway). Who would have thought that our new protag can get our previous one killed? The only guaranteed ally death in the game, no less? Now that we know that can happen, people will know it's a possibility for the future. If it happens in the very next game, everyone will be like "told ya so, they always die."
No one really knows what happens to a live person who dies within the Fade. So did Hawke/Loghain/Alistair/Stroud die? Its not clear. Although I think the odds of survival are better if its Hawke and Hawke is a mage.
However I only left Hawke in the Fade once. Just to experience that part of the story. It tore me up having to talk to Varric afterwards. 
Never again. Otherwise I'll gladly leave Loghain in there. As well as Stroud. Alistair might have been a tough choice had he not become such a complaining coward who seemed to have fogotten everything that happened 10 years ago. Kept acting like the hero of Ferelden ruined his whole life. he could have been king but chose not to.
Not saying a one armed inquisitor shouldn't be in DA4 but if he/she is then I simply would like to see them as an advisor. like Morrigan. Unless Dagna can fashion a mechanical lyrium type arm for the inquisitor. But really if your a archer rogue... can't fire a bow. What good is a rogue with only 1 dagger? Not as good as a rogue with two. Same with the warrior inquisitor. no shield arm. Unless you attach a shield to the stump.
I sort of see the cutting off of the arm as a sign that the Inquisitor is not going to return in DA4 with much of a role. No control over rifts, no rift magic powers. If anything it seems to suggest to me that bioware has severed the ties there might be to DA4 from DAI that relate to the inquisitor.
I don't really go for killing off anyone usually, but I'm wondering now. Just wondering. I kind of want to see Solas having a mental breakdown over inquisitor's death. His friend or lover dead, because of him, and preferably with DA4 protagonist's direct intervention. He would blame DA4 protagonist for their death and lose his head for good. He would be more ruthless but he would make mistakes eventually. His somewhat demigod status won't change. How can anyone defeat this ancient elven god figure who could just turn someone into stone by blinking? How about giving him a total mental breakdown so he would slip? I know it's not probable, just a thought.
I felt the choice in DAO was very relevant to their role as a Warden and how you viewed it. It even had me thinking I was going to do one thing on my first play through (sacrifice myself) and realising that every fight across the city was taking me one step closer to my death, only for Alistair to talk me out of it at the last moment. That had real emotional impact for me.
However, the idea of having to choose between one person and another has become rather tired. I had to do it in Mass Effect and now I have been asked to do it again in DAI. It meant more in Mass Effect because I had got to know the two people rather well. In DAI the majority of the time it was a choice between Hawke, who I knew well including the fact that actually Corypheus was not their responsibility but entirely the fault of the Wardens, and Stroud, who I hardly knew at all. Then if I actually opted for Stroud because I want him to rebuild the Wardens, he promptly heads off for Weishauppt even if I have elected to let the Wardens stay, thus negating the reason for saving him because the Orlesian Wardens are still left leaderless.
So if the Inquisitor has to die in some meaningful way in order to save the world from Solas, I might go with it but on the whole I'd say let them live on, either returning as a low level PC (because they have to retrain with artificial arm) or in the background as someone who sends useful information to help the new PC with their quest. The opportunity to simply kill them off was lost when they didn't require you to close the rift from the other side or Solas left you to die instead of amputating your arm. I also imagined a version for a Solas romanced Lavellan where after he says "I will never forget you", she replies "Then remember this," and cuts her throat because she can't live with the knowledge of what he has become. Over dramatic and morbid but there you go.
So give the Inquisitor a break and let them retire somewhere nice, like the Warden and Leliana do, keeping in touch with events via Dorian's magic crystal.
If Bioware is going to give people to option to keep killing our PC's, then why should people get invested in them. I never killed Hawke as she was my girl, even Alistair would have died in my world.

My Hawke died because she was my girl... So there.

Bad things should happen to a main character to avoid them becoming M/Gary Sues.
We all die. Life isn't meaningless because there is death. You can be invested in things knowing they will end. Because eventually everything ends.
As for my opinion, I'd be fine if Solas kills your inquisitor. In fact, I think it would solve a lot of issues.

One persons view of there DA world is not the same as another. Having the past games PC die in the next installment will get old, predictable and boring. Im now quite content that my Hawke won't reappear, tho it would be nice to see her again in the future it doesn't bother me. The death of the Inquisitor maybe on some peoples minds but its not in mine. If anyone needs to get killed off its the Warden, they are the loose end at the moment.
For some reason I read the title as "dye the Inquisitor" and I was picturing threads filled with screenshots of pink and purple inquisitors.
Doing the same thing over and over is boring. We had the option in DA3. Now they should do something different.

Never,never leave female Hawke for a Warden
