Returning and new characters for Dragon Age 4

Techinically in that case you could probably argue he would still be in the Qun and alive, so could perhaps show up with them in DA4? However that would be a lot of work for a character in a world state were the player doesn't actually know the character, as well from the lore perspective it would also makesense for the Qun to keep an alive Hisrad doing spy work in the South.

Wait does he turn up in Trespasser if you don't recruit him????? That would be so weird. Just being Inquisitor and having a random guy you met briefly three years ago turn up and be like "hey, I'm going to betray you now"

Bull does not show up in trespasser if he isn't recruited

How does the Keep handle an unrecruited IB?

This matters less than you think. While it might be a factor, the fact that a certain type of content is seen by a smaller % of players isn't the sole basis of any decision.

From David Gaider:


This whole thread is full of interesting discussion and insight about telemetry, what it means, and how they use it.

I think the less recurring characters, the better.

What I would like to see is:

An imperial Magister ally (also an imperial Father, so we can see how different the Chantry is there) who is proud of Tevinter, it's history, and traditions. Calmly but firmly shut down the southern church's doctrines ("There is but one god, and he is our Maker. Andraste is not divine, she was mortal) and someone who sees Tevinter as doing the best good against things such as the qunari.

I would like to see a Dalish elf who is against the concept of the Dalish creating their own lands, something along the lines of "We tried that twice and we failed. Badly. Maybe see if another solution would be better, ya?"

I would like to see a proud dwarven traditionalist who lives in the Ambassadoria, who reveres the Stone and dwarven teachings. Not only that, but he believes that humans and elves should welcome the Stone and perhaps they can feel it's beauty too. Then get him exiled, his personal quest is to become a Paragon so he can return, and go from there.

I would like to see a sane Tal-Vashoth. Mage or no, I want to see someone who abandons the Qun because of the position it forced upon her (mage would be easy, but it doesn't have to be)

I would like to see an Orlesian bard show us the less glamourous aspect of their work. Something more along the lines of the Leliana prequel, with a bit more hard-nosed.


NPC wise: I'd like to see a relative of the Imperial father as a high ranking First Enchanter. Show me the intrigues of Tevinter family politics.

I'd like to control the development of a city. Pick one that isn't very big, like Carastes, and let me develop the course of the city over the game.
