What do you think DA4's live service will entail?

The reveal of Solas as not only being the one that allowed Corypheus to get the orb, but also the Dread Wolf himself, means that Inquisition’s story was in fact not completed. He was the real culprit, and the base game never resolved this. 

Neither does Trespasser. In fact it makes it worse since the base game had nobody but the player aware of those things thus the characters and their stories are still resolved. Trespasser starts them on a new one since they now know, but then ditches them leaving them unraveled for nothing.

This is all pretty premature. Even with a new protagonist, we don’t know what else the game’s story holds for these characters. I guess mileages vary, as I actually really liked Trespasser. My only regret was not being allowed to have Sera shoot the Arl of Redcliffe in the foot. 

You're welcome. 

DA always had a completed story and character arc too, until Trespasser destroyed that. The fact that they destroy past games and ruin potential for new ones just to follow some idiotic rule they set for themselves makes me think the haters have a point. 

As mentioned last page, supposedly someone with insider ties has them thinking the next game will be in Andromeda but not with Ryder but long after them. But regardless, that's why I'm now glad that MEA didn't get DLC setting up another story since at least now they have a completed story and not ruined like the Inquisitor was. 

Headcanon's worthless. 

Oh, I think DA has always left some threads dangling. Like whatever happened to/about the awakened darkspawn from DAA?

My position is that MEA really isn't complete until the Keelah Si'yah is found.

Headcanon (or at least, personal interpretation) is ultimately all there ever is. There isn't very much fiction that so completely fills in every possible detail unambiguously that a reasonable person could not possibly interpret it in any other way. RPGs usually leave some space for players to co-create the narrative. And in a world filled with magic, anything can happen...

The Warden's involvement in that was concluded, either hoping the Architect finds a way to deliver his promise or by wiping them all out. It doesn't end with the Warden saying we are going to stop them then cut to DA2. 

I disagree with that. The main goal of MEA was to find humanity a home, and they did that.

I meant more headcanon in terms of ones that conflict with canon. Sure I cam imagine playing the Inquisitor and stopping Solas, but once Rando shows up to do it instead my headcanon means nothing. Other types of headcanon are more valid, especially when the writer supports it (for example the writers of Merrill and Josephine saying seeing them as Demisexual or ASexual/DEmisexual respectively are valid interpretations of the characters). 

My internet is trash and prone to random packet loss.

My hopes(?) re live service:

• Single player campaign that I can play offline w/o penalty
• dlc that adds to story: Shale, Warden's Keep, MotA, Legacy, Trespasser, Jaws of H, Descent - that sort of thing
• cosmetics/armor - I like the armor you can get outside the main game. i don't mind having extra armor available through separate purchase, etc.
• multiplayer campaign that is completely separate from main single player campaign. And does not affect outcome of single player campaign.
• i like the Keep. And I liked how the Warden's story and appearance could be uploaded online in the old forums.
