I keep seeing people say this. Is there a source? I'm not saying I don't believe it, I'd just like to see it for myself. i.imgur.com/sUpKwEj.pngIt's from the Dual Protagonists thread that got moved to DA4. There's also a video, but I didn't watch that. Thank you. I did find the video, and it sounds to me like their goal was to remove the Inquisitor from a position of power by removing the mark that made them powerful. They wanted to end their tenure as a figurehead, not necessarily end their story completely. Here is the video for reference:

They wanted to end their tenure as a figurehead, not necessarily end their story completely. Patrick Weekes even answered a question on Twitter that asked if the reason they removed the Inquisitor's hand was to stop them from being the hero(since that was a big discussion at the time) and he said something along the lines of, "No. There are plenty of amputee heroes. We removed their hand to show their days of sealing Rifts were done."

Here is the video for reference: Well, no, it's clear enough that they're not ending the Inquisitor's story completely. They're just not the PC anymore. They're still going to try to stop Solas's plans. They're just not at the frontlines anymore.

Even after they did more than that for Hawke, arguably did slightly more than that for the Warden, and heavily foreshadowed the Inquisitor continuing to play some role?

The only reason Hawke could show up in DAI is that his/her personality was narrowed down to three types.

The only reason Hawke could show up in DAI is that his/her personality was narrowed down to three types. Yeah, so the game had to keep track of those three types, plus character class, plus the LI, plus the decision on whether or not to help Meredith Annul the Circle. How much more complicated than that is the Inquisitor, when it comes right down to it? Not that I'm not worried about the possibility (or one could argue the inevitability) of them doing that and butchering the Inquisitor's personality. I'm just saying that, given how things have been going and the end of Trespasser, we're probably getting either this or a drawn-out series of Warden-style communiques from the Inquisitor, and that either is entirely possible.

If the Inquisitor isn’t the protagonist I want them not showing up at all. No NPC cameo, no letters, no references, nothing. I’m tired of Bioware ruining my PCs when they take over.

I mean, it is doable if they turn the Inquisitor into an exposition machine that lists DAI's choices in the most neutral tone possible.

That's more or less what I think they're planning to do, although knowing Bioware there's no way they won't throw in at least a little sarcasm.

How they handle this and the next Mass Effect game will determine if I continue to be a customer of theirs. Why should I spend money on games when they won't complete the story? I don't buy books that have the second half missing.

Then they wouldn't need to involve the old protagonist at all.

If Dragon Age: Inquisition ended with the vanilla ending, where the Inquisitor is looking over a new dawn after defeating Corypheus and then we get that endgame tease scene with Flemeth and Solas, I would be perfectly content with there being a new PC in DA4. But they had to make Trespasser which undid that ending and instead left the story unresolved.
