We don't know it's easy. In fact, we've never seen a person with a functional prosthetic in any one of the games, have we? Some people just like to imagine it's easy. It's also not just the hand that would need replacement. 3/4 of the arm is gone, including the elbow. Replacing that even to rudimentary functionality takes a little more than grafting on a metal hand like Götz von Berlichingen.

 

The DA team could write it to be possible without breaking the lore I think, given what Dagna may be capable of, but will they? Introducing new technology into a fictional world is tricky. The consequences can get out of hand if you overlook even a minor aspect. Anyone who's ever made a roleplaying world that lasted for a while will be very aware of this.

 

Also, do we even want that? I'd rather have a new protagonist anyway.

 

Of course we want a new protagonist, but if the Inquisitor appears again, as a cameo or something?

He/she is important, he is who can slave himself to mythal, or who can romance Solas

He/she promise to stop or redeem Solas, or this phrase was just to give drama to the scene and the Inquisitor is going to do nothing?

You just simply forget your old characters?

The CC of inquisition sucks, are they going to make our character even more ugly without an arm?

Oh please. All you people and your "Bring back the Inquisitor" threads. Let it go. The Inquisitor's story is done. BioWare is moving on, you should too. Drink.

But ... but "Bring back the Inquisitor" threads give us hope Dai.   

 

They give us hope that perhaps Bioware isn't absolutely **** story-writers who would take a PC that most of us would have been alright retiring in their original game (I absolutely love my Quizzy and I would have been fine moving on before "Trespasser") and then arbitrarily taking that PC and giving them an immensely compelling personal connection to a character who is sure to be a Antagonist for a future game (and I'm a Sera romance before you start) with every intention from the get-go of throwing that connection out the window just so they can make way for a new PC next game.    

 

They give us hope that an RPG company (who's "primary" purpose should be writing an intriguing story) wouldn't be insane enough to attempt to force the same crippling narrative pitfall they burdened the Inquisitor with, (where they took a character/potential antagonist from a previous game who had a connection to that game's PC and then shuffled that connection to the side and forced that new PC to deal with that Antagonist) onto another new PC in a future game.  Especially since it would be worse this time because Solas was with the Quizzy the entire game, not just a 2 hour optional DLC.  

 

It gives us hope they won't compound this insanity by trying to force Solas into a Corypheus style role (who, while having at face value similar goals utilize vastly different methods and tactics that make Solas far harder to write around than Cory, unless you change his character) just to get the new PC where they need to be to face him.  

 

Finally, it makes us hopeful that Bioware wont rely on ANOTHER "special snowflake syndrome" to force a New PC to get involved in the World Ending Crisis at hand, because they for some arbitrary reason are the only one who can stop it.   

 

Edit: and as others have stated this was never intended to be a "Bring Back the Inquisitor" thread, it was one discussing the practicality of the Inquisitor getting a prosthetic of some kind (and prosthetics in general in the world of Thedas).  My last post was just voicing a reaction to how absurd I think it is that "Trespasser" did a good job at ending the Inquisitor's story, if that was Bioware's intent. It did not IMO.

Who say "Bring back the Inquisitor" do you even read post? this topic about prosthetic an magical arms in DA. No one asking Inquisitor to be playable in DA4.

 Not completely true!

 

I want the detached anchor hand to be the protagonist in DA4! If they can animate a harvester golem then we can reanimate a little hand that already has glowing elfy magic. Poor Sera will freak out when she sees it.

Abandon all hope. The Inquisitor should only die and remain dead.

 

The Inquisitor has no relevance to the story anymore. He's either a crippled retiree or a crippled Chantry dog. We're off to Tevinter, and the Inquisitor is not welcome there.

 

Solas knows the Inquisitor's tricks. The Inquisitor has no chance against him. We need someone Solas doesn't know, and that can only be a new protagonist.

 

BioWare loves new PCs. They don't care about old ones.

 

No no, BioWare needs to make another Hawke character. We the players should only get to pick gender and class. And make the character rather dull. We don't want the special snowflake. Make it an adventure any random person can win. I mean, it would be a logistics nightmare to bring the Inquisitor back. All those various combinations of characteristics, and the multiple voice actors required? No no no. That's way too hard to implement. BioWare doesn't have a bottomless pit full of money. They can't stop the flow of time so they can work on a game for as long as they need. I don't want BioWare wasting resources on bringing back the Inquisitor when we should be exploring Tevinter in its full dilapidated glory.

 

Oh yes, Trespasser was the end. "My own adventuring days may be done...", is what the Inquisitor says.

 

(This and my above post are sarcasm, BTW. I'm parodying those who post messages about leaving the Hero of Ferelden out from now on.)

Oh I know a bring back the Inquisitor thread when I see one. Anything that mentions the Inquisitor and the next game or getting out of the handicap is a subtle push for bringing back the Inquisitor.

 

Everyone needs to just forget about the old PCs. BioWare is, after all. And we should all just accept whatever they want to make.

 

(Joking of course. These are the same things written about leaving the Hero of Ferelden out of the story.)

 

Who say "Bring back the Inquisitor" do you even read post? this topic about prosthetic an magical arms in DA. No one asking Inquisitor to be playable in DA4.

 

I don't need to read posts to make baseless statements. I just want to demand that BioWare drop the Inquisitor character completely and kill it off, thus never bringing it up again. Also, all fans should be okay with the Inquisitor being left out of the story from now on.

 

And look at post #76. Arshei wrote about the Inquisitor returning as a cameo.

 

You guys need to let it go. Let the Inquisitor die in relative comfort like Solas suggested. Ya know, just like how we should all let the Hero and Champion die out.

 

(This was my only point here. I want the Inquisitor to return, but I want the Hero and Champion too.)

Nope. Too difficult to implement. Race, skin color, gender, class. Could be wearing a ring from Cullen or Sera. Too many variables to account for. /sarcasm

[The Baconer]

Solas sent us to hell... but we're going even deeper. 

[Nefla]

You're breaking my heart Dai T_T even though you're being sarcastic, that's probably their logic. I'm still going to hold out some sliver of hope though until we know for sure who the protagonist of DA4 is. If it's the inquisitor I'll have hope that this will be a story done with nuance and care with a protagonist and antagonist that have a strong personal connection instead of the generic "evil wizard/beast/whatever is destroying the world so special snowflake chosen one hero must stop them." It could still fall flat and be shallow, disjointed, and disappointing but at least there would be that chance. If DA4 has the inquisitor as the protagonist then I'll give BioWare another try, if not then I'm no worse off than I was before Trespasser came out and gave me hope and at that point I'll be done with DA like I was done with Mass Effect after ME3.

It looks like DA4 protagonist will work for "Inquisition". Even if disbanded Cass and Leliana is on-board. I doubt they will just drop all Inquisitor/Solas build up they did in DAI. I think it will be like Hawke in DA:I. just not one mission but several instances throughout the game, we probably get orders from Leliana or Cass. or letters from Inquisitor. Inquisitor say we need new people Solas don't know, our character and companions will be people Solas don't know. But I doubt Inquisitor just sit and do nothing.

Eww ... just eww.  That removes the Inquisitor so much from what going on "I'm in the south sitting in a lawn chair and sipping a martini AND I get to order some nobody I've never met around, BEST DAY EVER!" they may as well not even be in the story.  Plus, you just know that if that's the route Bioware with they'll turn poor Dorian and his contact crystal into a Telephone tool for the Inquisitor to issue orders more securely to their patsy/replacement.  Remove the Quizzy completely as that sort of presence in game will only serve as a distraction to the players who didn't play DA:I because they have no idea who these "order-givers" are and have no hope of getting to know them; insult the players that wanted the Quizzy back; and shackle and inhibit the poor new PC to the Inquisitor making them their errand-boy/girl.

The sarcasm is on point and appreciated Dai ... even if it makes me a little sad.    Oh man that line btw, the pinnacle of all the conflict in "Bring Back/Dont Bring Back the Inquisitor" threads.  "My own adventuring days may be done..." your Inquisitor only says if you don't disband to a room full of people they know includes spies from multiple organizations.  Bioware there would be no such contention between the fan base if you had just turned that around and gave the disbanders that line as well! 

 

Side note ... this may be me just being dumb, but I was always under the assumption that the reason the HoF (and I guess now the Champion) wasn't coming back is because they could be concretely "dead" in some world states?  Like you can't import a dead HoF into Awakening or Witch Hunt, so I kind of thought it was the same principle maybe?  Also, I was kind of under this suspicion that Bioware was afraid of the fan backlash that they would receive if they did retcon the death and bring the HoF back, only to screw up the new voice/voices for the previously unvoiced character lol!  

 

Anyway back to the topic at hand!  Magic arm-bringing back magic is stupid (at least in modern Thedas, no comment on what pre-veil magic could possibly do), but prosthetics could be cool in Thedas as long as Bioware keeps them limited to the restrictions of that world.  Assuming they didn't just decide to scrap the whole idea when they scrapped Mechano-Bull, then rudimentary prosthetics or ones that are experimenting with limited lyrium usage or lyrium tattoo's to increase their dexterity (at the cost of the user) could be kind of neat.  I like that almost everything in Dragon Age has a double-edged sword vibe going for it.  Organizations become powerful, but also corrupt or unwieldy, people are morally grey at best, Magic is powerful but increases your chance of possession ... if prosthetics are the road Bioware wishes to walk down I won't argue as long as they adhere to this same principle.

Sorry, just felt I needed to make the comparison to the Hero. People should realize that accepting the elimination of one from the storyline will lead to other PCs getting the axe, not that the people I replied to necessarily want the Hero to be eliminated from the storyline.

If they would quit continuing the same storyline/NPCs/companions from one game to the next, give each protagonist a definitive ending and not something open ended, and set the games farther apart in time then it wouldn't be a problem but nooooo

Good points about the order givers and the sending crystal.

 

The lines at the end were weird. Why would an ex-Inquisitor have a world to save, but an Inquisitor would not? Why might an Inquisitor's adventuring days be done but an ex-Inquisitor with the same handicap not think the same? BioWare probably just tried to think of a clever way to say that the Inquisition and its mission would continue, and needed something to contrast it to. But ultimately I dismiss it as the Inquisitor not knowing how he will continue adventuring if he's handicapped. Of course this can change, but only if BioWare puts in the work.

 

I don't think possibly being dead is an issue. The HoF came back in Awakening, Golems, and Witch Hunt. And even the UltSac Hero had a replacement. The Hero wasn't in Inquisition because of the story with Corypheus. They would have to have him conveniently avoid the Hero, which would be illogical, since the Hero would likely try to fight Corypheus.

 

In Thedas, you can have a family that is good and moral and kind and just. But then get slaughtered every now and then.

 

As for the arm, I don't see them magically growing it back. I don't see a functional prosthetic either, since that wouldn't make sense. I only see suitable substitutes based on the character's class and specialty (Stone Fist Hand, Spirit Form Hand, Knight Enchanter Gauntlet), OR a storyline in which the Inquisitor's arm was sent into the Fade, and the new protag enters the Fade to cause the arm to move back into the real world and back to the (ex)Inquisitor's body.

[Nefla]

But-but

 

[greenbrownblue]

Nah i think Solas removed the arm for good with his glowing eye thing

Yeah, I agree. And I would rather play the Inquis with prosthetic than learn that the arm grew back.

[Nefla]

Anyway it was only the inquisitor's hand that was removed, the elbow is intact so that leaves a lot of room for a functional prosthetic. We can see this from the epilogue slide with the crossbow attachment, the scene where he walks into the council and we see the loss for the first time and his sleeve is rolled up to just above the wrist rather than the bicep, and the fact that it was just his hand and wrist that was affected. 

[Gervaise]

I'm already working on my own version of the story, purely for my own amusement, because the next instalment isn't even on the horizon.   In my version, Dagna comes up trumps and crafts a silverite prosthetic arm with moveable fingers and a button that will lock and release them around whatever weapon you want to use.   In the case of my canon Inquisitor the weapon of preference is a bow and he is overcome with emotion when he discovers the replacement arm is a success and he can use his beloved bow once more.    May be at some point in the future (when I take him to Tevinter) we'll find someone who can make some magical enhancement to the arm to make it even more life like but for the present I think the silverite arm is good enough.

 

For goodness sake, we had time magic in DAI and yet people are suggesting that it is impossible to come up with a simple prosthetic replacement arm?   The ancient Irish sagas of the Tuatha de Dannan have one of the heroes lose an arm and has a magical replacement, thereafter he is known as Nuada of the Silver Arm, so such a thing would not be out of place in the Dragon Age world.  

 

Incidentally, my Inquisitor (who disbanded) said nothing about their adventuring days being over.   His parting words were "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to save the world, again."     The alternative about adventuring days being over was clearly a cover story so people wouldn't ask questions if they weren't visible around the south in the future.   Plus there is the planning at the very end, where again the Inquisitor is stating a personal interest in dealing with Solas.   Not to mention those who romanced him and still have him haunting their dreams.

 

I don't mind having a new PC but it will be very disappointing if they leave the Inquisitor out altogether (or make them a barely involved side reference/letter) after involving them personally in such a clear way.   May be one of the side plots for the new PC will be locating someone to restore the Inquisitor's arm.

In DA2 we had Frankenstein reanimation of parts from multiple people with zombie mom and the Orsino harvester. Seems like zombie arm is the DA way to go.

 

A zombie nug arm would be swell!

LOL me too!  Though since I'm not particularly adept at narrative on its own and better at dealing with mechanics and story structure I'm approaching it through that route.  I'd like to post it eventually for the hell of it one of these days (also I'm sadistic and find it amusing to get me head ripped off by angry fans), but mostly I'm just doing it for the hell of "Is it even mechanically possible to write a Dual Protagonist story-line in a Bioware style RPG, while keeping it in a reasonable range for budgetary concerns?" 

[Dai Grepher]

For goodness sake, we had time magic in DAI and yet people are suggesting that it is impossible to come up with a simple prosthetic replacement arm?

Not impossible. Just difficult to implement in a believable and interesting way. Difficult for BioWare anyway.

 

What happens when BioWare gives your canon ex-Inquisitor a crummy grappling launcher arm? Disappointment is what.

 

So BioWare probably just won't do it at all. I think removing the arm was a mistake, but it was done to remove the (ex)Inquisitor from the adventuring role. Another mistake.
