Apologies if this has come up before, as I didn't see a thread for it. I realize some of the options might sound like two different questions, but I don't know how to put two polls in one post.

New hero or dual protag for select portions of the game. Best solution for us to developer a new hero without the Inquisitor stealing their thunder, while also letting the Inquisitor resolve the Solas plot.

A character I get to define. A blank slate. That's all I ever want.
So, if it were the Inquisitor, it would need to pick up immediately at the end of Inquisition, to avoid having the writers choose any behaviour for her.
That's unlikely, so I have a strong preference for a new protagonist.
I've liked all of my DA protagonists, but the only one I'd really like to play more is Hawke. And my Hawke is so thoroughly headcanoned through the use of Varric's unreliable narration that there's no way that would work.
New blank slate protagonist for me, please.

"Dual Protagonist with New Hero for most of the game, and we play as the Inquisitor for select missio[ns]."
I vastly prefer that over the DAI-Hawke option. As much as I adore my Inquisitor, a new protagonist allows the franchise to explore new things and also give the player more roleplay opportunities.

The Inquisitor as protagonist would also limited the quests. You can´t do as Inquisitor minor quests like "find my ring" Also everyone in Thedas knows who the Inquisitor is. He/She is too powerful for a protagonist. Second the romances. There are 8 romances in DAI. And of course DA 4 will new ones. How can Bioware possible balancing this? Solas and especially will likely have major roles in DA 4. Anyone who had Dorian as romances gets tons of romance scenes and Blackwall or The Iron Bull almost nothing. Also why didn´t Sera or Cullen accompanied the Inquisitor especially then they are married? From economic standpoint it would be too risky for EA to use the last game protagonist when this game its too old. Bioware have to explain this all again. So why not use a new one? Dual Protagonists are crazy. Too expensive for DA 4 with its budget. You need 8 Voice Actors and Voice Actress to voice the same lines of dialogue. And the amount would be likely enormous. And that just for the English language.
Don’t want any forced ties to the inquisition or the inquisitor I would be fine if the Inquisition ties in DA 4 are just Lace Harding as companion and Charter as major NPC.

The story of the Dragon Age franchise has always been about the world of Thedas we make, unlike Mass Effect where it was clearly the story of Commander Shepard. We also have to consider that the new game is meant to entice new players who might have never played any of the previous games. The Inquisitor might show up but it isn't a must be for me. They might send us a letter, make a brief cameo, but only that. The ability to choose your relationships and factions is also a welcome addition. No matter who or what you were you would always be a Grey Warden (Origins) a Champion of Kirkwall (DA2) or the Inquisitor (Inquisition). A new setting in a brand new area is a blank canvas where the creators can really use their imaginations. Maybe in one playthroughs we help the Qunari, another we help Tevinter or aid the remnants of the Inquisition stop Solas, or vice versa help Solas even. Here's hoping.

New hero. Agent for the Inquisition would be fine, but I'm also fine with being unaffiliated. I expect that even if we start with the Inquisition, we'll end up leaving to pursue a new threat. I am increasingly convinced that Solas will not be the antagonist of the next game.

The more I think about it the more I think a brand new Protagonist could really work. Granted while I still wouldn't mind continuing on as the Inquisitor Kara Trevelyan I think its time to become someone else...
On the face of it though the only way I can see to solve most of the problems though by the Inquisitor still being out there is that they appear by proxy. By letter only and using a representitive in Tevinter (like Dorian) to convey their instructions and sort of be the head of the Inquisition in Tevinter.
I want this new protagonist to be, for once, someone from the Imperium itself. And while I doubt the option will exist for us to out and out support Solas it would be curious to see BioWare to give us an option to decide that the Inquisition is as much of a threat to Thedas as SOlas is.

I voted for new and indepedent (or choosing affiliation), but I really don't have any issue with the majority of the options. Well, unless it actually ended up as Inquisitor only and a directly continued adventure. Then, I would definitely have to change my canon Inquisitor...
I view the first option of the poll to be extremely unlikely though.

we already love the inquisitor, let us love someone new =D They need to finish the Inquisitor’s story first. first of all, they did in trespasser, any involvement the inquisitor might have in the next game will be a different story. trespasser astablishes where the inquisitor stance is in regard to fen'harel, so we don't actually need to control them in order for them to play their part. and it will be more interesting to play someone who was not orginally part of it, but still got caught in the middle. that being said, i do believe the inquisition will have a pessence in the next game, both the ending of trespasser and the comics show that they will likely have agents in tevinter (which is likely where the game will take place). but they will have to be subtle about it. either the inquisition was disbanded which means they can't reveal they are from the inquisition, or it's an army of the andrastian divine, which might not be welcomed in tevinter. with that in mind, the inquisitor's involvement will have to be from behind the scenes (at least at the start), because if the inquisitor will be at the heart of the inquisition operation to unvail the dread wolf's plan, dear old fen'harel might get suspicious and/or alerted. i would also like to remind you that the end of dragon age 2 hinted that the war between mages and templars will be the focus of inquisition, but it ended up being just part of the story, it could be the same here. at the end of the day it's all theoretical, we will find out when the game is out.
