The Grey Wardens, in my opinion, are one of the most interesting orders in Dragon Age. We obviously played as one in Origins and Awakening, but the relevance of the historic order has fallen in more recent titles. The Grey Wardens are barely present in DA2, and they are shamed and potentially exiled in DAI.
Given that we likely will be playing as a new protagonist (the Inquisitor isn't really in a position to fight anymore), would you mind being a Grey Warden again? Honestly, especially after the events of DAI, I think it would be very interesting to see how the Grey Wardens rebuild and recover after Corypheus.
It's unclear what kind of threats Solas is going to unleash on Thedas, but to not have the Grey Wardens present would be a huge loss to those trying to protect the world. This isn't necessarily a blight, but the end result is the same either way.

No. I don't dislike the Grey Wardens but I don't want to see them involved. Not only would I consider it to be unnecessary but I also do not see the benefit of their involvement in the story and I feel their presence would detract from how I hope the story will play out. Additionally, I do not feel that it would fit with how the story has been set up since it'd move the Inquisition as the organization trying to deal with Solas, covertly or not, to the Grey Wardens. Repeating myself but I'd consider it to be unnecessary and ill-suited.
To put it briefly: it's not that I'm opposed to the idea of the protagonist being a Grey Warden again, it's that I'm opposed to the idea of the protagonist being a Grey Warden for this story for reasons that I've mentioned above.

It was either disbanded, or it was transformed into the personal guard for the Divine. The Inquisitor no longer has an army, which was the entire point of Trespasser. Thedas feared the Inquisition, and thus the organization was disassembled to maintain peace and stability. There's going to be a huge full-scale war in DA4. It has been implied by Solas' actions. Why would the Inquisitor not call upon previous allies in this time of need? The Wardens, more than anyone else, are probably best suited for this task.

No, I'd prefer to play something else besides a Grey Warden in DA4. Once of the nice things about Dragon Age has been getting to play new protagonists with different roles in each game. Maybe a few games down the road it could be something to return to.

I reckon my Inquisitor could still fight. Just need a smaller staff.
Right now I don't have much desire to play a Warden again, but who knows, it might be the best idea ever.

Why would the Inquisitor not call upon previously allies in this time of need? The Wardens, more than anyone else, are probably best suited for this task. "Officially" is the key word because unofficially, the Inquisition continues to exist with the goal to stop Solas as established by the end of Trespasser. That goal remains regardless of which choice you make, as I recall. Furthermore, Solas has displayed that his methods lean towards covert operations like sabotage and espionage: not open conflict and direct warfare. Why would there be a need for Grey Wardens? If it came to direct warfare then yes, it'd make sense to call upon old favors and allies but it wouldn't make sense to involve an organization which members the Inquisiton could not account for when facing an enemy who has shown that he can weave his spies into even organizations that keep a watch of their recruits. Even if transformed into the personal guard of the Divine, the Inquisition likely maintains, either by itself or through her, the ability to oversee itself well enough to be able to take precautions. The Grey Wardens, however, is a separate organization with its own leadership, rules and autonomy.

If the storyline was focused on the Grey Wardens and the divisions in the order, I would gladly be a Warden. But I'm still holding out hope for the "Slave becomes a hero" story in DA4.

No. Grey Wardens fight Darkspawns, the Blight and Archdemons. They have no business fighting ancient elves.
That said I would not be opposed to a Warden companion, if it makes sense for them to be there.

I'm not sure if it'd fit the next game, but maybe the one after that? The one that in my head canon is totally going to be set in the Anderfels and have Griffons in it?
I do think the Warden order is actually rather under-explored in some ways, at least in the games. Despite being a Warden, the Hero of Fereldan barely had any interactions with the order, or people who had been Wardens for more than a few months. And Anders didn't spend all that much time before ditching the order, and of course Blackwall...
Also, I would like to have a game where the Wardens were actually vaguely competent for once. They're turning into a bit of a joke, really.

I'd be happy to play a Warden again in a spin off, but for DA4, the next major installment? No. It's been done before and I'd like to try another perspective. Perhaps that of a Tevinter slave.

To be honest, I've never been into the whole Warden thing. I don't think the darkspawn are interesting either. Agreed, so far. The darkspawn and Wardens have the potential to become interesting depending on how they originated/whether there's an overarching motive to the Blight. But at the moment, I'm much more interested in other storylines. Now, that said... I wasn't too interested in the titans until Descent and Trespasser. And being in a real, functioning arm of the Order would be very different than in Origins. Alistair and the HoF were basically wardens in name only, with little exposure to the politics, corruption, and overall weird shit that the Wardens have been getting up to since their creation. Even so, I definitely wouldn't want to play a warden in the game where we go to Tevinter. However interesting the Wardens might become, they can't outweigh all the juicy backgrounds exclusive to northern Thedas.

As for the Grey Warden question, no, I wouldn't want our next protagonist to be a Grey Warden (at least not if that was the only option instead of being just one available background to choose for the character. That would be fine by me).

At first sight, I would vote NO, but I thought about and I'm not so sure about it. In Tevinter relation, the Grey Wardens' story can be interesting, especially the Darkspawn, the Old Gods/Archdemons; The Grey Wardens related to everything on Thedas. As Grey Warden, who wants to find the cure on the track of HoF, or something similar backstory, definitely makes sense. So: I do not throw this opportunity completely as some kind uninteresting stuff.

I absolutely want to be an elven slave who frees themselves to become a hero. I've missed being a city elf origin the most in the last two games.

Not in the next game since I don't think they would fit in without some weird reason. I rather play as mercenary/slave/magister etc that has a connection to the place we are in.
But I'm not against a game in the future where we play as GW (not just as GW wannabes like in DA:O). It would be interesting to see what Bioware have in mind about the wardens. Hopefully it would be in Anderfels.
