 It would be cool if we knew which direction they were going to take (new protagonist or Inquisitor) for the next game so those of us who's interest in the series hinges on that decision could jump ship.

It will be a new protagonist

[XEternalXDreamsX]

I wouldn't mind playing the IQ again, but I don't like the idea of it.

Most IQ's in the epilogue had a good ending tied in a bow along with their romance. Aside from the IQ saying they know who to find to defeat Solas and those who romanced Solas, they have no reason to be in DA4.

The IQ can be a contact for the new protagonist, but those who romanced Solas would feel weird confronting him as a new PC.

How would the IQ have romance options if they are already in a relationship? That would almost render Love Interest characters useless for relationships unless your IQ dumps their old LI or haven't romanced anyone. I don't know.. I would play as the IQ but they would have to do alot of new ways of introducing LIs, reference of old LI, create new arm and hand, continuity of class (or rechoose class). Ect.

My opinion is Nay but it wouldn't bother me. Just need the same four voice actors, otherwise the IQ might sound off.

Since I'm in a sharing mood, I will put this out there: our intention is that for each major release of Dragon Age, you will take up the mantle of a new character. This does not mean your old character may never appear in future games, but as far as the core protagonist goes, if there is a DA III, it will very likely be neither Hawke nor The Warden.

We want to keep the series about the time and place, rather than about any singular character. While I know not everyone prefers that approach, I believe it's perfectly valid, especially if certain plans of ours to shore up world consistency (import bugs really bother me!) come to fruition, which I believe they will.

And that's all I can say about that.

[Abyss108]

Ah, of course, a four year old interview, because plans never change.

 

Except, we already know plans have changed. Hawke was planned to deal with the Temple of Mythal. Inquisition only contains half the story that was planned for the game. 

 

If the Inquisitor returns, they break their plan for not having a returning protagonist.

 

If the Inquisitor doesn't return, they break the plan they had for the second half of the story that got cut.

 

Can't keep to all of those plans.

Did you know George Lucas once protested against the coloration/alteration of old black and white films as he thought it was defacing a part of our culture and heritage? Then around 10 years later he did the exact type of thing that he once rallied against. Weird right? It's almost as if people change their minds as the years go by.

[Arshei]

Yeah, I want to play the same boring character we played ALREADY in Dragon age Inquisition, I want to recreate my ugly inquisitor and romance again the same character!

I want too the same voice actors because they wasn't annoying at all.

Yeah, give me back AGAIN my inquisitor, I don't want new romances, not new character, not new story background for our character

YEAH FORCE ME TO PLAY HUMAN AGAIN IN DA:4.

And If i want to do a second gameplay of DA:4, im going to play again DA:3

Lets make this another Mass Effect please, we loved its ending.

[demonicdivas]

...and yet, you did exactly what he thought you would do, and rushed right in. What if you'd have sent Orlesian, or Fereldan troops after them instead? Except that, he knew you wouldn't, right? Riddle me this, however, why doesn't he just let you die if you have a low approval rating, or no approval? It's not like a DA game didn't have a written in death of the MC. He takes the mark because he wants it. He's not conflicted enough about his plans to put them on hold and allow you to talk him out of it, he just might regret the death of one person. Frankly, I doubt even that, based on his early dialog and how wistful he seemed about a world where the Fade and the "real" world were one and the same. He wants to restore his people, and he makes it clear, you aren't his people.
 

Actually, my response is based entirely on dialog from within the game. There is no bias, there is no obsessive need to hunt him down for love or revenge, or spite. There is me, listening to what the Inner Circle has to say just before the credits. They are the ones that don't believe they can go after him, since he knows how they operate. They are the ones that suggest they'll have to find new people to do it. None of that is me, trying to convince myself that the Inquisitor is the only choice for the job, there is only me, going off of what the game told me, in a very literal fashion.
 

Then why are you trying to assign all these other feelings towards him? It seems to me that if one of us has a problem with dealing with Solas, it isn't me. I took him at face value. I paid attention to what the inner circle had to say in the epilogue, and I went on from there. I'm not the one that is trying to change what words mean in order to justify being the first repeated protagonist in the series. 
 

When aren't Tevinter and the Qunari almost at war? Which side of the conflict are you going to "put down" in order to restore an order that hasn't existed for centuries? We took the constant influx of demons coming directly from the Fade, which was what the issue was, not Tevinter, not the Qunari, until Tresspasser anyway. But yeah, let's look at how close Cory and Solas are:

The mark is permanent, you have spoiled it with your (can't remember the rest of the line off the top of my head), but that's Cory in Haven. At the end of Tresspasser, Solas takes what "cannot be taken" according to Cory. Yeah, I think there's a very definite power gap there, how about you?
 

Because "victim mentality"? I didn't write the dialog, I simply repeated the dialog. If anyone is vilifying you, it's BioWare, because they actually wrote the dialog. We have Word of God that Solas took the mark, it's provided up thread, and I don't do Twitter, or maybe it's in the other thread?

Regarding the next game's protagonist, are we even sure we'll be dealing with Solas in the next game? Are we sure that dealing with Solas won't be the end of the series because what if we can't stop him, and it does destroy the world as we know it? Maybe we spend an entire game building up the powerbase we need to take on someone that can turn you into a statue with a thought? Maybe we have to spend the next game figuring out where he is, since we can't stop him unless we know that for certain, and between the Crossroads, and all the possible destinations, and the fact that we'll have to find an eluvian he doesn't control, because he tells us that he controls the network now, in order to even gain access to all of the potential hiding places. Is this something that is going to happen off screen, in a novel, or series of novels, or the comics? We don't know. We don't know anything, and yet, people are convinced that the Inquisitor is best suited to be the protagonist? That's not based on logical thought, that's based on wishful thinking, and I'd be willing to bet that there are those amongst the what was it, Take back the Inquisitor movement, that believe it can be sorted with tea and cookies.

So sorry if taking the provided information seems like it's vilifying you, or anyone else. I am not responsible for how one feels about the facts as they are presented. That is entirely on the person having the feelings. I am not, however, going to pretend that they are anything other than what they are: The facts in evidence.

 

Wow. What a wall of text. Yes Solas' attitude changes throughout because of dialogue choices, all of which can be different. It's about much more than one person and he wants a high approval Inquisitor to prove him wrong about his attitudes as a result. 

 

Corypheus has no intention of revealing what he knows about the Mark whilst he's trying to kill you. He also tells you all you use it for is to flail at the heavens when you realise as you're plummeting to your death from the Grey Wardens that you can use it to pass between two worlds and walk physically in the Fade. So I'd hardly cite him as a reliable source of information. Particularly when Solas does indeed take back that which cannot be taken away - which means that Corypheus doesn't actually know diddly squat about the Anchor or he deliberately misled you. A combination of both.

 

And I was the one who made the vilified comment, not the other poster, and this second post of yours clearly shows me why all over again. Your tone implies that we're idiots for wanting our Inquisitor back without being prepared to engage in interesting, reasoned debate as to why. I shall leave it there because there's no point in engaging with you further.

I would LOVE the chance to romance a character across two games. Unashamedly so   and married or not, it adds so much more to the story. I don't see why that couldn't happen? You could have a mix of old and new - it just means you have to be creative with your writing....but what I did notice about the game itself is that the romance has little impact on the main story. I think that it should be more incorporated but then at the end of the day, there's only so much they can do with development and time. Sigh. That's where fanfic comes in I suppose.

Sorry, I cannot figure out how to include Mike Laidlaw's quote in my reply. I noticed it was from August 2011 which was several months after DA2 was released.  Their 'intention' is a new major character. It's not guaranteed. I doubt they would want to fence themselves in so much as to make such a definite statement because things can, and do, change. 

 

You could equally argue that this statement was a response to the very poor reception DA2 and Hawke received. They don't want to scupper their chances with future games at the thought of an unpopular protagonist appearing again as the main playable character in subsequent releases. 

 

I understand their reasoning for not wanting the Warden to return and they're trying to manage expectation in this response I guess? Although with what they did with the Warden in DA:I has perhaps made things worse! 

 

'Keeping the series about time and place' - the problem is here that it is about the people in the game, not just a good combat system or specialisations or tough boss fights (or lack of?). Time and place only go so far. We become attached to the characters - love or hate, they've evoked strong reactions in us. We want some back. We want to see what happens with others, how they evolve. We want the chance to face down our rivals. And dammit yes we (I and at least ten of my friends ) want our romances to continue. (take a pick of any of the list as to which are applicable, if at all).

 

The characters are what makes the story and the game and what, in general, keep people coming back for more. Bioware also do, as a rule, create very good characters with interesting stories. 

 

As a result of this stance, Bioware have also left themselves with the unenviable task of trying to find the right balance between introducing new characters and bringing back the old ones. You'll never please everyone obviously but, particularly after Inquisition, it's going to be critical.

 

Mike's comment makes reference to the worry I have that this drive for new, new new all the time is at the expense of consistency and really good story writing. The world of Thedas suffers as a result. They said they've learnt a lot of lessons over the last few years, and from Inquisition itself. I really hope they take this to heart, play a few of the other great games out there, invest in DA4 in terms of staffing and technology and then come back with something exceptional (I am wishing for the moon maybe, but I can hope!).

 

The idea of a dual protagonist I think is a great one. It gives a meaningful end to the Inquisitor's role - previously everything was just so abrupt. It's also a great way to introduce a new character. I'm definitely not for the same protagonist throughout the series, but in this instance I think the Inquisitor simply has to make a return as a playable character. Romanced Solas or not, it left many of us with no closure whatsoever. If they decide to deal with this the same manner they dealt with the mage-Templar/White Spire and shuffle the Inquisitor off to one side - urgh, and if they use one arm as an excuse  my days of DA gaming will be over. 

 

 

Yeah, I want to play the same boring character we played ALREADY in Dragon age Inquisition, I want to recreate my ugly inquisitor and romance again the same character!

Anyone else remember ME2?  Contrived reason to separate Shepard from the ME1 companions, to the point of even having old LIs practically spit in your faces?  Who seriously wants a repeat of that?

 

You guys want to be forced to join forces with some Ben Hassrath bigwig who's name translated to "Not Really There" in order to stop the end of the world?  Want to see Alistair do air quotes and say "Ah, yes, 'Solas'?"

 

If for one moment I thought we'd be returning as the Inquisitor for DA4, my interest in the series would dim considerably.

I doubt they will allow the romances to have any greater impact on the story than what we already have in the Alistair, Morrigan, and Solas romances. And all of those have robust options for the non-romanced version, and even play out in the same way minus a few dialogue changes. Romances are optional content, and I really don't see them going away from that mindset in the future.

And as a writer of fanfic, yes, I think that s significant part of it should be left to fanfic or just head-canon. As much as I adore my preferred LI and the pairing with the Inquisitor, there is a lot of personal stuff in a relationship that can't really be conveyed with limited dialogue options in a few cinematics. Relationships are so much more.

While I agree that things can and do change, it has not only been Mike Laidlaw. David Gaider also said, numerous times, that DA was never meant to mirror ME in its use of a singular protagonist, and that many people erroneously conflate the two franchises simply because they are RPGs made by the same company.
 

As much as people might try to conflate the DA series with Mass Effect (understandably, I suppose, as it's two different projects from the same company), Dragon Age is not a trilogy. DAO and DA2 were self-contained stories that each contributed towards the greater arc of Thedas' history, and any future game(s) would likely be the same. If someone is expecting to play the same character over multiple titles, they're looking in the wrong place-- as we never suggested that would ever be the case. My hope is that we do the imported states more effectively, and use them in more significant ways (whether it be about these particular characters or not), with regards to the ongoing history of Thedas that the player is impacting by way of their choices.

But I'm not going to hope too much, or plead, or expect, or anything along those lines.

Right now they're safe! I have a friend who is still horrified at Alistair dying in DA:O.

I went off and wrote fanfic because there's only so much you can get from the game, totally agree!

 

I don't play ME (sci fi is not my thing) so the only comparison I can draw is that they have the capability and the capacity to do things differently for DA if they so choose. You raise a good point on the romances being optional and actually I romanced no-one until DA:I. That is me pipe dreaming more than anything else    but it would make a really compelling story if the decisions on that romance actually had an impact on the wider events of the game. In the way that if you romance Bull and he stays with the Qunari - if you go with that end slide for a story it would be hard to see how the Inquisitor could ever be taken seriously ever again in Thedas (super harsh ending but great in terms of storytelling!). But yes, I may as well wish for the moon to be made of cheese. 

 

I also understand that Patrick Weekes is excited about working on a franchise with multiple protagonists. I didn't say it in that particular message, but I have no problem with new protagonists - IF the last ones have been dealt with satisfactorily in terms of the story. So far, for me anyway, that hasn't happened at all. Not just the Inquisitor, but the wider Inquisition in general. And I don't want to be fobbed off or have to buy 3 books to understand what happened.

 

At the end of the day though, Bioware can say whatever they like - EA will do what makes money. If there is more appetite to see the Inquisitor back - or not - then they'll do it if it means the bottom line will generate more income. Sadly, that's what ultimately drives things although I think Bioware at least make a real effort to be more focussed on the game rather than dollar signs. 

 

And all this would have been decided before they even released Inquisition. I just wish they'd give us a hint to keep us going!

[BansheeOwnage]

Check list for the Inquisition:

Close the Breach: Check, x2 even.

Find those responsible: Cory, and ultimately Solas. Check, ironically x2 as well.

Restore order: We've evidently restored enough order that the two major powers closest to us are now trying to either disband or leash us. So I'd say that's a big check as well. What other definition of order is there? We did, in fact close the breach, and deal with the one that opened it. We did, in fact, restore order by sealing rifts, closing the breach and dealing with the one that opened it. Those were the things we set out to do, and they were done. Again, I can understand the "but I don't want to let go" angle, but that doesn't change the facts, just how you, and anyone else that's dead set on the Inquisitor as the end all of PCs, feel about them. I've been through this before, and I'm not willing to rewrite the English language to include definitions for terms that reflect how people that can't let go of a protagonist feels. That is, however, what I would have to do in order to agree with the gist of your wall of text.

I never said the Inquisition didn't restore order. It (potentially) did a lot to help. But obviously it wasn't enough. And especially given the Inquisition is now the only group who knows that things are going to get very chaotic, very soon - regardless of the Qunari - I'd say it has a responsibility to try to stop that from happening. They thought so too, apparently, which is why they were plotting in the basement.

 

Finding those responsible: Uh... you're obviously taking that phrasing way too literally. At face value. It doesn't just mean find them, it means find them and bring them to justice. Which you have certainly not done. And finding them doesn't just mean once, it means until they're dead or captured. Which Solas is certainly not. You have no idea where he is, so you need to redo the "finding" part. Otherwise, the Inquisition would have packed up and gone home after Haven was destroyed. "We closed the Breach, and hey, we found the guy who [they thought] was responsible! Mission accomplished."

 

So I guess if you just want to get an A for effort and call it quits, whatever. But that's out of character for the Inquisitor and friends.

 

By saying any other Bioware protagonist would have done the same as the Inquisitor in Trespasser, aren't you making a case that anyone can be the PC in DA4? If the Inquisitor isn't doing anything unique in their chase of Solas, if anyone would do the same, why would the Inquisitor do anything different in the next game?

There is a big difference between saying "The Inquisitor did the logical thing that anyone would do" and "I'd like the Inquisitor to return because they have a personal connection to Solas". That wasn't phrased very well, but I'm trying to say that it's not about the Inquisitor being the only person who could potentially defeat Solas, because I know they're not. Just that I think they should be the one to do it because of the larger emotional payoff.

 

I wouldn't mind playing the IQ again, but I don't like the idea of it.

How would the IQ have romance options if they are already in a relationship? That would almost render Love Interest characters useless for relationships unless your IQ dumps their old LI or haven't romanced anyone. I don't know.. I would play as the IQ but they would have to do alot of new ways of introducing LIs, reference of old LI, create new arm and hand, continuity of class (or rechoose class). Ect.

Pretty simple. Just have existing relationships continue, and have potential new ones. I'd be totally okay with them having fewer new options, and/or having a bit less screentime with older ones if it means having this story. That's the most important part for me.

 

Yes, Mass Effect did it. And yes, it wasn't handled very well. No, that's not a reason not to learn from your mistakes and do better in the future.

 

I know fans of Cullen would hate me for writing it, but it would be interesting to see how a divorce looks like in Thedas xd !

Oh, girl. I am not forcing you or anything, but really give Mass Effect a shot. The games are awesome, but I gotta admit that the best thing about ME is that we get to celebrate  #N7Day (November 7th) ! Bioware makes streams and giveaways,  fans celebrate, share art, make special vids on YT .

Anyone else remember ME2?  Contrived reason to separate Shepard from the ME1 companions, to the point of even having old LIs practically spit in your faces?  Who seriously wants a repeat of that?.

 

You're right. Once you've failed at something, you should never try to succeed by making more attempts.

I would LOVE the chance to romance a character across two games. Unashamedly so   and married or not, it adds so much more to the story. I don't see why that couldn't happen? 

 

It can happen, don't let the naysayers discourage you. Don't know if it will or not, but it can. 

 

Dagger in the map in the last scene... I think that hints we'll see more of the Inquisitor in DA4.

I know fans of Cullen would hate me for writing it, but it would be interesting to see how a divorce looks like in Thedas xd ! 

At least they got to marry their LI.
