List of decisions we could make in DA4?

In DA4 I want a MC that will have the amount of choice & impact of The Warden "Dragon Age Origins/Awakening" & Geralt of Rivia "Witcher 3".Give me my damn choices back BioWare seriously.🤬 

Anyway, getting back to decisions we could get to make, and to double down on everything I said earlier, the player/protagonist should be the one dealing with the Evanuris directly. Having Solas handle them off-screen or in a fucking tie-in novel is, to my mind, a waaaaaay bigger cop-out than not getting to watch Solas and the Inquisitor hug it out or whatever the fuck people think is going to happen.

I am sick to fucking death of this series shoving all its most interesting developments and revelations in shitty ancillary media. Am I a customer of BioWare or fucking Random House?

I think the main issue was with the way they told the story, giving you false hope you could stop it and then having that ludicrous scene of her as a zombie yet still apparently knowing who she was. The idea was that the killer had taken each of the women for their individual body parts, in Leandra's case I believe it was the eyes. I know the eyes are meant to be the window to the soul but I think it was taking it a bit far that he removed them and they retain their identity, or alternatively chop off the bits of Leandra that weren't right, sew on others and she is still surviving until you arrive. So it should have been enough that she was already dead or it should have been genuinely possible to stop it if you chose the "right" path to make that happen but not the weird half way house that they gave us.

As for Anders, it was only another example of how having him running around loose didn't really work the entire game. The Templars knew about him. They laid a trap for him and then forgot all about him. He was a Grey Warden deserter who the other wardens seemed very chilled about encountering. Then you can actually go to the Gallows with Anders in your party in Act 3 to warn them you think he is up to no good and they just say they will look into it when he was right there in front of them. So I do think that would have worked better if you could confront him and he storms off, no longer able to be part of your crew. (Which can happen in Act 2). Then after his bit of defiance to Meredith, he runs off because, again, as Sebastian said, the culprit was right there, had admitted it and then just sat there waiting for justice, so why on earth didn't Meredith kill him on the spot, even if she then went on to pursue her vendetta against the rest of the mages?

To be honest I thought the whole hung together at lot better in Acts 1 and 2, with the climax against the Arishok and Act 3 seemed somewhat rushed as they stuffed everything they could think of into it, leaving a lot of it not making much sense.

Hopefully my new protagonist can hand solas over to the evanuris & watch as they punish him.

If so they can join the lengthy queue of not nicest bunch in Dragon Age
I'd like to hear their side of things in any case rather than take the view of a mass murderer

Or maybe Solas wins...   !!!

I am optimistic about DA4 but... I find the whole "Solas wants to destroy the world" to be so dull and uninspiring. I'd much rather punching people with Varric in Kirkwall.

But I do mention the first bit because maybe this could be a chance for evil to win, or maybe for Thedas to change forever.

My biggest fear with DA4 is that the story will end up being spread too thin because of the two major issues the Pc will have to deal with them being of course hunting down Solas & the Tevinter/Qunari war both seem important but why do I get the feeling BW will make Solas the priority.

Personally I hope DA 4 will be focused mostly on the Tevinter/Qunari war with Solas only being mentioned by a few npcs and a boss battle at the end.

Hopefully they do not spread the story too thin. I would prefer them continue the current story and focus on the Solas plot, the Evanuris and possibly the Forgotten Ones, and the ancient elves and lore of the period. I have lots of questions for Solas! 

Hmm?.... interesting? it could happen we have no idea which direction the writers will take us

I'm willing to bet money that the Tevinter/Qunari conflict will be resolved in the first third of the game, when they are both put out of commission because Solas sent his lieutenants to plague them, and we have to choose one side to assist while the other is destroyed.

Maybe. During the next da game, the main character will learn of a potion that can stop Solas, if he/she drinks it. The main character, in a far corner of Thedas, finds the one with the potion needed to stop Solas. Since the main character showed up, the variables have changed. There are now 3 potions that can stop Solas. The red potion will destroy Solas and his lackey's. The blue potion will let the main character control the lackey's. The green potion will have the main character work together with Solas to give peace for everyone. If the main character refuses to drink a potion, everyone will die. Solas wins.

Tevinter Nights makes it seem even less likely to me that we'll get to pick a side in the Tevinter/qun war. They made such a point about the antaam being unsupported by the rest of the qun in their invasion.

Seems like the point of having the qun have a split focus with the antaam attacking Thedas whilst the ben hassrath hunt solas - is so that when you finally stop competing with the Ben hassrath for information and start cooperating and sharing it, it won't mean shit to the antaam. An alliance with one part of the qun right now doesn't necessarily equal an alliance with the whole.

Personally I hope they lean into the idea of the spy/operative leading a small team going after intel, artefacts and enemy operatives secretly to combat fen'harel - with the qun invasion as a challenging backdrop.

It would make a change from the "you must gather your armies before venturing forth" model of dao and dai.
