That crossbow looking thing? What about if the Inq uses a two handed weapon or daggers. How will they be able to use that? Also how will Inq be able to use a staff if they are a mage if they have a crossbow prosthetic arm? The crossbow grappling hook contraption was just an example to show that the technology is there. As I added to my post, Thedas due to the dwarves and qunari are more advanced the medieval Europe. Plus magic could help. Even discounting those things, in our own history we had prosthetics that could be used for various things from combat to riding to even writing. They were just extremely rare. Did Bioware say that? Because I don't remember it. Sorry about that, I was replying to your unedited post. Also, the Turkish and Chinese empires were more advanced than medieval Europe (I blame the Christians for that😒). As for magic helping with the development of a prosthetic limb, maybe, depending if Inq had the mages on his/her side. Otherwise I see Inq having to run about, finding talented mages to improve upon the prosthetic limb.

How about....make the IQ a dwarf, in love with Bull, then he or she can sit on his shoulders and poke people's eyes out with a stick in the heat of battle. Sure. Only need one arm for that

Find a giant, cut its arm off, and attach it to the Inquisitor. Now Inquisitor has a new skill tree. Talent could be arm smash, pick up enemy and throw him/her away. Hold button for 5 seconds to have a super smash causing extra damage. The sweep talent. Inquisitor spins around knocking the baddies to the ground. As a rogue, can have a two-handed sword in the hand while having a longsword in the other hand. Grab a baddie to force him/her to give information. Have Dagna make the Inquisitor a mechanical arm. How about....make the IQ a dwarf, in love with Bull, then he or she can sit on his shoulders and poke people's eyes out with a stick in the heat of battle. Dragon Age: Beyond Thunderdome

The crossbow grappling hook contraption was just an example to show that the technology is there. As I added to my post, Thedas due to the dwarves and qunari are more advanced the medieval Europe. Plus magic could help. Even discounting those things, in our own history we had prosthetics that could be used for various things from combat to riding to even writing. They were just extremely rare. Götz von Berlichingen is a German mercenary who received a prosthetic hand and has been mentioned din previous discussions concerning how the developers could potentially handle still involving the Inquisitor in combat. I should note that I read a historian's post on the subject and they found the claims that von Berlichingen used his prosthetic hand in combat to be dubious due to several factors that are mainly tied to the mechanics involved in having a prosthetic. For example, the fingers had to be manually positioned and locked into place with internal gears and even pins. There'd also be difficulty in keeping the hand secure during combat. That is not to say that Götz von Berlichingen did not participate in battles after his injury. He did but it's implied that he used his non-prosthetic hand so he remained perfectly capable of entering the battlefield and leaving it in good health despite one of his hands being a literal steel fist. I wonder if he ever punched someone with it... Now I do not mention this to prevent a counterargument to the idea of the Inquisitor in a combat role. It is more to be honest about the example of Götz von Berlichingen and not misrepresent what having a prosthetic in his time could be like and the way that they would have worked. It is also to provide an argument in favor of the idea by saying that Thedas is Thedas and have the advantage of magic and that little aspect to the world could easily be used to account for why the Inquisitor's prosthetic do not suffer the same drawbacks that Von Berlichingen's did. An Inquisitor can have the joint aid of the best Circle mages and smiths such as Dagna. Interesting fact: the most famous of the prosthetic hands worn by Götz von Berlichingen was crafted not by a blacksmith but by a gunsmith. Personally, I think it more plausible that the Inquisitor would feature in a non-combat capacity - cutscenes not withstanding - but for meta reasons, not for in-universe ones. The developers would have to dedicate time and resources to accounting for the potentially unique combat style the Inquisitor would have and in three variations no less since the Inquisitor can be a mage, a rogue and a warrior. That said, I would find it interesting if, in this hypothetical scenario, that they duplicate this and use it to create another kind of variation in enemies (or maybe even companions). For example, someone who have lost his hand either for theft, as an initiation ritual into a cult or such. I also admit that I find the idea of a handicapped hero quite charming even if I understand completely why the developers would not be able to put that idea into practice for the aforementioned reasons.

Also I wanna point this out, does DA even have prosthetic limbs? Because I am pretty sure a culturally backwards world like Thadas would not know how to make an advanced prosthetic limb that was made for combat. We know they do. The Inquisitor even has a very complex contraption as one if they romanced Sera. Dragon Age has proven to be more technologically advanced than our medieval time period(which also had rare combat-capable prosthetics), mostly due to dwarves and qunari. You actually don't even need to romance Sera to get the crossbow contraption. I had a guy who romanced Cass but ended up as good friends with Sera and he still got it. I'm not sure if it was because he was a rogue though.

Also how will Inq be able to use a staff if they are a mage if they have a crossbow prosthetic arm? Depending on which game we take weaponry realism from, it would not be out of bound for the Inquisitor to wield a two-handed blade with one hand. some weapons we see are impractical at best and improbable at worst. Daggers would be another matter. Staves are actually not necessary when it comes to magic even offensive magic. The staff seems to merely help with precision. I have fond memories of foregoing a staff entirely and running around as an unarmed mage in Origins. I could also see a Knight Enchanter summon a spirit blade to hand even if said hand is missing. Mages would honestly be the ones least affected when it comes to combat. To be honest, I don't place such a weight on being able to assume the use of the exact same combat style that I used in a previous game but I can see why that might be upsetting to other players. Personally, I think it would be excused by the Inquisitor's handicap and could be interesting as well as awesome due to showing how the Inqusitor might have adapted.

I'm not sure if it was because he was a rogue though. You have to join the Red Jennys when she offers in Trespasser. That's the criteria. My Inquisitor was close with her and got the cookie scene, but did not get that slide because I didn't choose to join the Jennys. I'm sure most people do join (at least that's my observation from the internets), but I don't. In real circumstances, I don't know that she would have offered in the first place, as my Inquisitor never shows any interest in that kind of activity. (Perhaps she might as a friendly gesture, though idk.)
While I want to see my Inquisitor again, I dislike talk of a prosthetic as if it's the perfect solution. Everyone who suggests it never gives a thought to the fact that some players might not want their character to have one. We weren't even allowed to emote properly in the game over losing our arm, and I sure as hell don't want a prosthetic limb forced on my character without some sort of choice.

I also admit that I find the idea of a handicapped hero quite charming even if I understand completely why the developers would not be able to put that idea into practice for the aforementioned reasons. The Iron Bull was supposed to have lost an arm and not his eye. He was supposed to have a cannon contraption instead of the arm, but they couldn’t get it to work, so they opted for the eyepatch instead. We know they do. The Inquisitor even has a very complex contraption as one if they romanced Sera. Dragon Age has proven to be more technologically advanced than our medieval time period(which also had rare combat-capable prosthetics), mostly due to dwarves and qunari. You actually don't even need to romance Sera to get the crossbow contraption. I had a guy who romanced Cass but ended up as good friends with Sera and he still got it. I'm not sure if it was because he was a rogue though. In trespasser she asks if you want to become a jenny regardless of class. If you say yes you get this epilogue.
Edit: Someone beat me to it :-).

Yes well, it is the perfect solution for me because I like the idea. I'm not against choices though, it's one of the things I'm most concerned about for any RPG. If bioware is willing to put in the work to give people the choice of refusing a prosthetic limb then by all means, I'll be for it.

For a rogue, one dagger would surely be fine and probably more realistic than using two.

Regarding the prosthetic limb, I don't see why that causes issues depending on your class. Just have it be in the shape of a regular hand and poof, it works with all playstyles. Nightscrawl I would actually really like if they gave us roleplaying opportunities regarding having the limb. It would be interesting to see how the protagonist would deal with not only having lost their limb and getting a prosthetic, but the complications from that like for example phantom limb syndrome.

As for magic helping with the development of a prosthetic limb, maybe, depending if Inq had the mages on his/her side. Otherwise I see Inq having to run about, finding talented mages to improve upon the prosthetic limb. No matter what happens, the Inquisition always has some mages on their side. We meet some of them. As for running around recruiting talented people, according to the ending of Trespasser and again in Knight Errant we see that the secret Inquisition is ding that.

Sorry about that, I was replying to your unedited post. Also, the Turkish and Chinese empires were more advanced than medieval Europe (I blame the Christians for that😒). You shouldn't. Contrary to what is commonly believed, the Church did not view theology and science as unconsolidating disciplines. In fact, more than a few scientists saw science as a way of understanding God's design and a way to learn more about it. Essentially, perceiving it not as evidence of god's absence but as proof of his existence because of what they thought of as an intelligent design. Looking back on his studies on gravity, Isaac Newton once wrote: "This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent being." Galileo Galile had among his stauntest supporters churchmen and among his harshest of attackers scientists. The whole affair concerning Galile has had its cause wrongfully simplified down to religious bigotry but it was a great deal more complicated and involved a lot more politics. After the fall of the Roman empire, the Church tried to preserve the old works. This is one of the reasons for why so many philosophers and scientists sprouted from the clergy. That this life lot provided more room for study is another. As I understand, the reason for the lack of intellectual advancement is tied to what happened after the fall of the Roman Empire, culture and resources. As history often is, it is complicated so I'll keep it short and generalizing: the people who could afford education were the aristocrats who valued warfare. Monks taught and preserved and other men fought or farmed. The resource scarcity that followed the fall of the Roman Empire meant intellectualism was not prioritized in comparison to other things that could contribute towards stabilization. When resources did become plentiful, that was when intellectualism was allowed to grow including because of the financial support its institutions received. Now I would most certainly not want to be mistaken as saying that no knowledge was ever lost, deliberately or otherwise, because of the Church. The Spanish Conquest was not kind in that regard and I mourn for the knowledge lost to it. I merely want to illustrate that, as history often is, things such as the relationship between theology and science are a great deal more complicated (and interesting) than popular belief suggests. Man is never as simple a creature as he thinks himself to be and the men of the yonder years were as thinking and feeling as he. Note: This post is by no means intended as a rant. It is merely me taking advantage of an opportunity to talk about history. As a note, the Spanish Conquest was motivated by more than just religion. Interestingly, Herman Cortés only had permission to trade and explore, not to conquer. He was, in fact, not even supposed to be there: his captaincy had been revoked. He actually had to set sails earlier than intended to evade arrest.

I saw someone refer to it as such. Basically it refers to the group we see meet at the end of Trespasser and later in the comics. The members so far judging from the scenes are the Inquisitor, your LI, Cassandra, Leliana, Harding, Charter, Marius, Tessa, Vaea, Aaron, and maybe Varric(he helps indirectly at least).

And I was hoping that it was an option (never liked that we could not trick the people at the council into thinking that Inq was disbanding the Inquisiton).

Well, it kind of is an option and you do trick people. Whether or not you disband the Inquisition or keep it around as an honor guard of the Chantry, that is just a front so you can make your new secret one. The differences lie in that if you disband it, you have less influence for your new one but it is more secure from infiltration while if you keep it, your new one has more influence but is more vulnerable from infiltration.

As far as my personal reasons are concerned, relating to the Inquisitor and the earlier conversation...from an RP and writing standpoint I do prefer Hawke to the Inquisitor. But out of the characters I have created I do adore Kara Trevelyan, she is probably my third favorite of my BioWare/ RPG protagonists that I have created behind Robert Ryder and Abigail Shepard. Which is my main motivation for wanting to see her return (thanks Hanako for putting the idea in my head in the firt place). Also as an aside she is probably the closest I have come to doing a self insert, aside from some wonkiness in my latest playthrough.
But then on the other hand I would enjoy doing a new protagonist too because I have some ideas already on the kind of character I want to create for DA 4, asuming the gameplay/ RP options/ story will let me of course.

I'd rather have a protagonist who has history with Tevinter or Par Vollen, it would be much more interesting than someone from the Free Marches going over there and telling them all off. Well, the PC has usually been an outsider in the first 3 games (pretty much everyone is except Cousland), so being one again wouldn't be unusual in the least. I worry if we are a native/insider that we'll be forced into one side or the other, without a choice in the matter. Kind of like how, even as an outsider in DAI, we're still forced to support the Chantry and destroy the Inquisition in the end.

I think that if we were an agent of the Inquisition that might give us the connection to Solas we all want...but then being a native opens up interesting RP opprotunities too so I'm torn if I want play a native Tevinter or not. As far as the other side goes. A. I mean I guess we were supposed to 'support the chantry no matter what' in the end but the Inquisitor got several opprotunities throughout the game to express their displeasure and adopt a 'maybe it should die' attitude.' B. For keeping the Inquisition or not Kara was able to keep the Inquisition quite intact in all the Playthroughs I have run. Heck from a certain point of view even 'destroying' the Inquisition it is greatly implied is just the Inquisition going under ground in order to fight Solas better.

It won't stop me from trying the game, but I would prefer am entirely new protagonist. I liked my Inquisitors, but I liked my Hawke more, and I liked several of my Wardens even more than that.
So while the Inquisitor wouldn't make the game unplayable, the other DA protagonists are evidence that BioWare can do better, and I would rather they do better.
