Have Trevinter blood mages regrow his hand and be the main character in DA4 to stop Solas, don't pull another Hawke.

[Orian Tabris]

I'd much rather a cameo Quiz and new characters for the player to create, than rehashing old PCs. I wouldn't be surprised if Solas' story takes a back-seat like the Mage-Templar war did.

 

It doesn't matter anyway, since BioWare isn't going to see this thread, since they don't read the forums anymore (unless they're lurking in the shadows... watching us... o_o).

I would also like the Inquisitor to return, but I don't want them to magically regrow their arm. Losing the arm is what would make them an interesting protagonist in DA4. Some kind of artificial replacement for the lost limb would be okay. Especially if we can upgrade it throughout the game.

 

What do you mean by "don't pull another Hawke." Corypheus? Hawke wasn't very popular character so it's understandable why they decided to continue the story with another character instead. But I do agree that Inquisitor needs to be the one who deals with Solas.

My thought was the OP meant "don't make the Inquisitor an NPC, make them the PC."

[Inkvisiittori]

Ah. I was fine with Hawke being an NPC, because I didn't much care for him, but I definitely agree they shouldn't do the same thing with Inquisitor. They are completely different than Hawke who could only have three different personalities. If the Inquisitor returns (and even if they are not the main character) we need to be able to control what they say. Maybe not all the time (I was fine with the letter my Warden send for example) but at least in major scenes where they are the main character.

The Inquisitor says their adventuring days are over if you choose the top-left dialogue at the end of Trespasser.

While not every Inquisitor gets that line of dialogue, it seems to me to be a pretty strong hint from BioWare that they are done with having the Inquisitor as the main character. Whether you think that's a good or a bad thing is up to you, though personally I don't have strong feelings one way or the other.

[vertigomez]

Pls no.

New protagonist every time.

[Witch Cocktor]

Inquisitor's story isn't done, and anyone who says otherwise encourages bad writing on BW's part.

They don't need to be a main character, but they need to be in the story. I need my inquisitor's story to have an ending that answers enough questions for me to headcanon what happens to him after all is done, which I didn't get in Trespasser.

 

All I got was more questions.

[Cyrus Amell]

Pls no.

New protagonist every time.

 

Agreed.

 

Also, a new arm of enchanted lyrium would be much cooler. 

 

 

Nvm.

 

Inquisitor's story isn't done though. He needs an ending. 

 

Which will likely be alluded to after whoever he or she recruits stops Solas and then says "well done you."

 

There is no need for the Inquisitor to be the player character - the arm thing would be a bit of a stretch to cover, the writing department would have to go out on a limb to fix this. It would be a slap to the face of the entire premise of Trespasser. I daresay it would cripple the original intent of that dlc. But I have to hand it to Bioware, they can do whatever they like. 

 

 

....sorry.

You quoted me at a bad time, sorry.

 

I don't need the Inquisitor to be a main character, a playable character or even an advisor. Hell, I don't want any of those things because my Inquisitor is relieved to get out of all this inquisition business. I just need him in DA4 if it has anything to do with Solas, and for his story to have an ending that answers enough questions until he disappears into darkness, possibly never to be heard of again by most people of Thedas, outside of his inner circle.

 

So I don't need him to be a PC, but I definitely need him to be in the game one way or another. And I need questions to be answered. That is all.

[Patricia08]

No real opinion here it's fine either way the "old" Inquisitor or a totally new made character either way is fine by me 

[jlb524]

No no noooooo

I want to play a Tevinter native if the game is set there.

I guess the Inquisitor could have a cameo like Hawke but I don't care either way. Wasn't a fan of bringing Hawke back like that anyway.

[Dai Grepher]

The (ex)Inquisitor will be an overseer type NPC who helps out and advances the plot. Like Duncan, Eamon, and Varric rolled into one.

I'd be totally fine with this.

[Dancing_Dolphin]

I love my Quizzy and would be very happy to have them return as the protagonist. It won't happen, but I would love it if it did.

[Danny Boy 7]

I'd be lying if I said I didn't care one  way or the other. I do want a new hero, but I won't be broken up if they bring the Inquisitor back. I suspect they will be an NPC though for the Solas bits.

[Abyss108]

Yup Inquisitor needs to be back as the PC to get an ending to their story. Bioware has already said the Inquisitor and Solas need more closure.

I was annoyed by Hawke being an NPC as i cared for him a lot. The dominant personality  gave a aid to Hawke as an NPC but they  were utterly incapable of reflecting different Hawke's despite this.Don't care much for the inquisitor so i don't mind if they repeat that route. Certainly don't want them returning as a protagonist.

I hope Bioware doesn't mess up Tevinter by bringing back the Inquisitor. Have them deal with Solas but give the slave uprising, Tevinter-Qunari war, and all that good stuff to a protagonist with a stronger tie to those issues.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

I want the Inquisitor to be the protagonist in DA4 as well. Patrick Weekes said the next game will conclude Solas' story, and they have it where Solas and the Inquisitor have a relationship that bears much better storytelling potential than some new person showing up.

They don't have to be the only protagonist. If Bioware wants to do a dual protagonist story like they've expressed, then have the Inquisitor be one of the protagonists and have the other be some new character dealing with a different but maybe not unrelated story, like the Tevinter situation. 

The one thing I don't want is for them to make the Inquisitor an NPC. They did that with Hawke, and they butchered them as a result. Hawke was nothing like my Hawke. 

[Former_Fiend]

Well that's your opinion and preference and you're certainly entitled to it, but I adamantly disagree with you and will not purchase DA4 if the Inquisitor is the protagonist again.

[Inkvisiittori]

I think this would be the best solution. 

[Nefla]

There are two aspects that are make or break for me when it comes to DA4:

 

1) If the story the same one continued over from DA:I about stopping Solas is inquisitor the protagonist? (If not then I won't play it)

 

2) If the story is completely new and has nothing to do with Solas or the inquisition, perhaps a localized story about a slave uprising then is the PC restricted to human? (If so then I will not play it) If they are not restricted to human then I will consider it but will wait for reviews and let's plays.

 

I would hate the IMO intriguing scenario set up by Trespasser to be treated the way the mage-templar war was in DA:I and basically swept under the rug. I would hate it if BioWare showed what they think of someone with any kind of disability by "crippling" the inquisitor because they think that would make them utterly helpless and unable to even attempt to do what they did before so they can sweep them and an interesting scenario and protagonist-antagonist connection away in favor of their self-stated tradition of having a new PC every game. I also would hate it if the arm was magically regrown or replaced by some magical construct arm that's just as good as the real arm. Losing a limb would have a big physical and emotional impact, they'd have to learn to fight differently and come to terms with it emotionally. That's appealing to me as a story and I wouldn't want it retconned. It also gives the opportunity to bring the inquisitor down to a more believable level of power. The best fighter in the world,that can easily curbstomp dragons, demons, ancient darkspawn magisters and so on would be brought down to a more human level where there is a real danger from enemies and not every fight is a walk in the park.

The only  way that could potentially work is akin to Geralt/Ciri in TW3 where the new protagonist gets the lions share of the time and we get brief glimpses through the eyes of the other. That's what i wanted for Hawke but they instead implemented the awful approach they went for.

[Dabrikishaw]

I continue to fail to see the appeal of the Inquisitor coming back as a playable protagonist.
