I feel the same, yet hope for the opposite result and they are confirmed to be returning. But if it is a new protagonist, then yes explicitly state such now so I can drop any interest in the game (or series for that matter). I hate to be the bearer of bad news but this does seem to point pretty conclusively to a new protagonist: Thedas needs a new hero; one they'll never see coming. Forge a courageous fellowship to challenge the gathering storm. Friendship, drama, and romance abound as you bring striking individuals together into an extraordinary team. Become the hero and light the beacon of hope in their darkest moments.Where was that stated? I’d say that I’m sorry for Hanako given the fact that it makes a new PC basically sure, but I do like the premise as it’s written, compared to other kind of possible summaries.

Welcome to Dragon Age
Enter Thedas, a vibrant world of rugged wilderness, treacherous labyrinths, and glittering cities. The Dragon Age is a time of warring nations, savage combat, and secret magics. Now, the fate of this world teeters on a knife's edge.
Thedas needs a new hero; one they'll never see coming. Forge a courageous fellowship to challenge the gathering storm. Friendship, drama, and romance abound as you bring striking individuals together into an extraordinary team. Become the hero and light the beacon of hope in their darkest moments.
By the way we all expect that Dragon Age 4 is named Dragon Age: Something but what if is it just Dragon Age?

It was the right choice if the goal was to prove they are the overhyped hacks many said they were since they can’t even tell a complete story correctly, something even children can do.

I didn't like how they did Hawke. Speaking of Hawke, I wonder if there will be an option to sacrifice the Inquisitor? We can do that with Warden and Hawke, so it might as well be tradition at this point.

It's just a question of how much.

I’m curious now to see what kind of content we’ll get at the VGA, given that by tweets from devs it doesn’t appear to be interviews. I still doubt we’ll see any in-game footage, though.

I'm not expecting much... we're still years away and the pandemic likely added to it. I will say for them to reveal it and not hide it... maybe will get footage?

I do like the premise as it’s written, compared to other kind of possible summaries. I was also pleasantly surprised to see this is the premise. Now I just hope they keep to it. I wonder what our new moniker will be. Some sort of variant on Hope perhaps? Alternatively, something that suggests hidden or mysterious.

Please, please, please! 🙏 The Inquisitor just has to appear in some form! And them being controllable would be really important to avoid the discontent Hawke's cameo caused for some... I mean, they did something similar in Andromeda with the Ryder twins (one of my favorite moments!), so...? And in case our new PC and our Inquisitor need to have a conversation I am thinking of how Dreamfall Chapters (last edit, I swear!) let April Ryan and the Apostle talk to each other while the replies of both were controlled by the player. Admittedly, it was a little confusing, but I am sure they can figure something out c:

I'm not expecting much... we're still years away and the pandemic likely added to it. I will say for them to reveal it and not hide it... maybe will get footage? As a general rule, I don’t think a game can’t be shown two/more years before release, if the marketing plan is well thought and executed. Even though it was due to delays, Cyberpunk did a similar approach. That said, I don’t think they’ll show actual footage, especially because they haven’t formally announced the game and its title. Given that it seems there won’t be interviews or similar stuff, *if* a trailer is shown, I think it’ll be a CGI one like the one for DAI, plus the official announcement of the game and some more info on the website. I do think that, given the departures of Darrah and Hudson, it would be smart to release some kind of information and possibly trailer, even if in CGI, on the game, to quell some people’s anxiety and fears, and generate hype. But even if the tweets are implying some kind of showing, I’ll keep my expectations low.

Well, I still hold out some hope that the Inquisitor will feature in a (controllable) secondary protagonist role. or a cameo. I think that is most likely. A playable secondary protagonist costs too much time and money to include also newcomers won´t care.
Also the Inquisitor is only needed at the final Solas confrontation. I really doubt that most player want to play through minor stuff as Inquisitor to get to this point.

I wonder what our new moniker will be. Some sort of variant on Hope perhaps? Alternatively, something that suggests hidden or mysterious. I guess so. I’d personally like for our character to be part of something else before the game, too, like the Lord of Fortunes. Which I think is one of (among others) groups that, if the protagonist would hail from it, makes sense for him/her to be an unlikely hero/heroine.

The Inquisitor has escaped it, so far.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but this does seem to point pretty conclusively to a new protagonist: Thedas needs a new hero; one they'll never see coming. Forge a courageous fellowship to challenge the gathering storm. Friendship, drama, and romance abound as you bring striking individuals together into an extraordinary team. Become the hero and light the beacon of hope in their darkest moments.Well, time to put any hopes about the future of BioWare I had down. Honestly, my expectations were pretty low that the Inquisitor would return. My only hope though is that the character doesn’t get railroaded into some kind of terrible fate, or have a fate determined by the new PC like the Inquisitor [indirectly] deciding who stays behind in the Fade or something. If the Inquisitor is to not be the center of the action, I just hope that this character can retain some dignity, preferably living life with the people (or person) that stuck around. All things considered, it’s just as well. Each new Dragon Age game always comes with the prospect of getting to know (and possibly romance) a totally new roster, without the baggage of carrying over a previous romance like Mass Effect did. I would be pretty surprised if BioWare went that little extra mile though and had Solas’ affinity level determine the Inquisitor’s fate. All those people that punched him would be in for a treat.

It would have to be the Inquisitor for only very limited sections, probably without combat, but they could be heavy on plot, character interaction, some revelations that can be relayed to Tevinter via Dorian’s sending Stone.

Well you know what? Either let it go or don't buy DA4. It's that simple. It's that easy.

Honestly I have adopted an 'all or nothing' approach' when it comes to this. Either the Inquisitor will be all the protagonist all the time or the new protagonist will be the protagonist all the time. Given the reaction to Hawke's appearance in DAI I really think BioWare would be best served by having the Inquisitor not actually physically appear in DA 4, especially when it comes to the costs and some other issues with it to. At best now that it looks EXTREMELY likely we will get a new protagonist at best all I want from my Inquisitor is a letter to the newbie. Otherwise let them stay the hell away from Tevinter. *** I am oging to be mildly annoyed that after all this hype and waiting the new title for DA 4 will be...Dragon Age 4.

I agree this looks like damage control on EA's part (IMO) Hudson and Darrah forced departure, me? my expectations are little in the coming future they have a lot to prove to me before i will buy another game from them, Oh! by the way Hanako nice selection on your vid I love the Railgun/Accelerator series

Baldur's Gate 3 will have multiple pc options (1 blank slate/custom pc + 8 origin characters). If Larian can have 9 pc options, then Bioware could have 2, especially as it was Bioware that left the Inquisitor with a cliffhanger ending.
