Inquisitor Returning as Protagonist in DA4

Interestingly, I was actually quite alright with the idea of the Inquisitor not appearing in Dragon Age 4... until Trespasser, that is. Prior to it, the Inquisitor and their associates had no knowledge of Solas' true identity nor his motives so although I would have liked to see their relationship come into play, I could see a plausible excuse for why they wouldn't be involved. Trespasser, however, not only made the Inquisitor aware of Solas' real agenda but also played up their relationship angle and set up a new dynamic to it.

While I still prefer a new protagonist because it allows for the conflict and Tevinter to be viewed through a new pair of eyes, I do want the Inquisitor to feature in some playable capacity hence why I've been a big supporter of the dual protagonist idea. I admit that might not be financially feasible and so I'm also in favor of the Inquisitor appearing as a playable character for some part of the finale where they are able to have their moment with Solas and see it through to the idea. They might not necessarily be the one to ultimately decide his fate and (and I think it would interesting if they aren't) but the very least, they should have a conversational moment with him. Once again, I cannot stress the importance of the playable angle. If it's not possible for the Inquisitor to be playable then I don't want them to appear because it's liable to turn what could be an awesome and emotional moment into… something that is neither.

When it comes to Solas...I feel like my Inqui should return.
Played an elven male, who believed in his gods. Still do.
Solas told my Inqui he will destroy the world ,Dalish included. Remember the Dalish think (like Andastrian)when they bring back their gods, they will be saved.
I can't imagine my Dalish, who's been tricked by his own trickster god, will just say "ok I have better things to do now, twas no big deal".
Arm or no harm.
The threat is so big, the stake so personal ...it's like Cassandra not giving a damn about the Herald of Andraste business.

I went the "Save Solas" route with my Inqui, and I hate Solas.
But my character wants to prove the Dalish are worth saving and the Dalish Gods are also worth saving.

Now do I want to play a whole new game of The Inquisitor ?
Nope.
My pc disbanded the Inquisition so he's not the Inquisitor anymore.
But some people kept their Inquisitor "Inquisitor".
In a wonderful world, we could get a game where some Inquisitor rebuild a new identity for themselves, and others build up on their Inqui title...but let's get real, it'd be a massive waste of ressources.
So a new character might be better.
Besides , my Inqui wasn't a super fun guy, and with Trespasser things took a dramatic personal turn.
I kind of want to have fun in Tevinter.

Still fun or no fun, if I'm robbed of my "true" ending with Solas, I'll be pissed.

Now how will Bioware will deal with that , well it's their can of worms.

I like for him/her to return. But that's mostly because of AWR's voice. Anyways. The game can feature the Inquisitor getting a new arm and learning how to use it.  Throughout the game investigate leads from whoever to find Solas. When in Trevinter, Dorian helps out. He could even join the Inquisitor on a few quests. 

If the Inquisitor isn't the main character, he/she could be the one that hires the main character to find Solas. Throughout the game, the main character meets with the Inquisitor to give updates and receive any new information. 

I'm not opposed to seeing my Inquisitor return, but I don't think they should be the protagonist again.

I like the current system of a new hero each game.

I've made my opinion on this known before, but I will not buy Dragon Age 4 unless the Inquisitor returns as the protagonist. There is no good reason why they shouldn't. Whether that is as the sole protagonist or even a dual protagonist is fine, as long as they are a protagonist. Absolutely not a NPC though. Bioware has ruined every protagonist of mine they have brought back as a NPC and I will not see my favorite Bioware protagonist suffer that as well. I'd rather they not show up at all, as in no cameo, no references, nothing, compared to that. Like shechinah said, with the vanilla ending I would have been fine with them not returning, but Trespasser changed all of that where the Inquisitor needs to be involved. If they don't, then Trespasser has managed to do something remarkable: ruin not one but two games at once.

As I said my intention was to have the 'yes' options cover the dual protagonist option to. a dual protagonist is still a protagonist.

thanks for the suggestion I'll fix it now.

edit: How the heck do you edit polls again?

I voted for the Inquisitor to come back as some form of protagonist.

Solas has become extremely powerful (and therefore potentially dangerous), and my Inky would not allow anyone else to put themselves at such a risk while she was still able to do something about him. She still believes she has the best chance at getting him to stand down.

Yes, I would like the Inquisitor to be the protagonist or a dual protagonist in D4. The Inquisitor should be the one to go up against Solas. I definitely do not want the Inquisitor to be an npc.

I'll still play the game even if the Inquisitor is not the protagonist but it's definitely my preference if he/she is, they can even pull a duel role like they did with Ciri/Geralt in witcher 3 and I'll be fine with that. With the addition of Trespasser, it made it so there just won't be the same emotional pull for me if they have a new PC take care of Solas, romanced or not.  However, I do not want them to bring the inquisitor back if they're just an NPC and if they're only going to be used as a sacrifice for a new PC.

I would love her to have a major role in DA4, but not the protagonist. Perhaps an advisor role? I'll play the game regardless.

I can't see the inquisitor not bringing the fight to Solas, so if he's in the game she has to be, but there was a good point made at the end of trespasser which I won't post here cause I can't do the spoiler thing on my phone. And if Solas isn't in the game there no reason to have her.

DA games are good at fleshing out characters across a single game, where ME tends to do it across multiple, and one of the things I love most about DA is sculpting a new PC, I don't want my experience of a new DA game to be tied down to a previous PC and the choices I made in DAI.

I loved what they did with Hawke and I'd enjoy a similar thing with the Inquisitor too if a smaller role is the only option.
