Next look at Dragon Age 4 at The Game Awards (Dec. 10)

I am kind of getting tired of the Dragon Age franchise wanting it both ways.

"We want long running storylines from game to game and we want to set up villains like Solas by making him a companion in one game, but we also don't want to bring back previous heroes, we want a new one each time."

So what that means is each game becomes the new hero cleaning up the previous hero's messes and unfinished baggage. We also get weird contradictory stuff like "The Warden is searching for a cure for the calling, but we are not bringing them back, their story is over", "Hawke leaves Kirkwall and goes on the run a the end of DA2, only to come back as an NPC in the next game" and "Trespasser ties up The Inquisitor's story... by having them stab a knife on a map because they are going to look for Solas".

If BioWare really wants each Dragon Age game to have new protagonist each and every time (which they are fixated on sticking to, for whatever reason), they really should have these games be more self-contained instead of this weird long running gag where the new protagonist's primary arc is cleaning up the old baggage of the previous game's protagonist, thus ensuring that no protagonist really gets a really satisfying conclusion or their own story where they aren't just tying up someone else's loose ends.
