I know this won't be a universally popular opinion, (and, believe me, I'm quite surprised to be writing this myself) but, following the events of Trespasser, and that beautifully melancholic final conversation between the inquisitor and Solas, I'm now eager to play as the inquisitor again in Dragon Age 4.
The fact that Solas is capable of killing the inquisitor but chooses to save her instead, despite knowing that she'll do everything within her power to stop him, really hit me emotionally. That moment illustrated just how much Solas respects the inquisitor (at least in my game), and it set the stage for the best kind of rivalry: one between friends on irreconcilably diverging paths, with a tragic and, no doubt, tearful conclusion. lol
Introduce a new protagonist to track down Solas and all of that beautiful subtext is lost. Solas becomes just another Big Bad who our disconnected hero has to put down in order to prevent the apocalypse.
P.S. I also think that the inquisitor will be a much more relatable hero now that he or she isn't a "special snowflake". There's no more magic mark, no more grand, holy crusade. The "inquisitor" -- depending on the ending you choose -- is now much more like Hawke: a seasoned fighter and leader working alongside a relatively small group of trusted allies and contacts.
P.P.S. Yes, I know the Quizzy lost a hand, but -- in the increasingly insane magical melting pot that is Thedas -- I'm sure there's a way to remedy that minor inconvenience. If magic can heal serious wounds like deep sword gouges to vital organs, and bring people back from the brink of death, then there's probably a mage or two out there with a knack for regrowing limbs.
Surely anything Hogwarts can do, Tevinter can, too. lol
