This is speculative - of course - but it's just a straightforward question. For example, I'm sure the game will look great on a graphical level (probably lighting as well).

Companions has always been one of their strong points. Ditto for thier romances (even though some complain of a lack of variety). So I'll give them that.
Combat is also something thy were also decent at. Even if players rightfully critique topics like move limitations, magic skill trees, healing spells (or lack thereof), and the balance between active combat v. strategic view. But at the end of the day their combat has evolved from the clunky DAO fighting style days and is now smooth and entertaining--and that is crucial for most games these days.
I also have a feeling that the game world itself will be visually stunning. Whether these areas will be filled with substantial content though remains to be seen...
Gear variety also seems like a pretty safe bet. Although hopefully they learned from DAI and will give warriors just as much gear variety as rogues and mages. Here's hoping they will also give us a tint system in the main game.

I don't think I've been able to make stronger connections with the characters in any other game. This is one of DA's strongest points.
I sincerely hope all party members will have powerful background stories and personalities to match them. This is one of the biggest things I'm looking forward to.
Graphics are expected, but many games these days create beautiful graphics. Characters and personalities fill those pretty graphics with meaning.

Some of the companions might be interesting.
The map design will probably look beautiful.
With any luck, DAI's clunky, messy combat will be iterated on a lot. Proper hitboxes and a less suicidal companion AI would be great.

The environments will be beautiful and the voice acting will be excellent. I expect that I will enjoy a lot of the dialogue.
Beyond that, it’s a crapshoot. Combat, story, companions, level design - those varied in quality from game to game even before the Tragedy of Darth Anthemus the Live.
But I’m more optimistic than I used to be.

I'm gonna say characters particularly party members, BW's pretty good at fleshing those out & drawing emotions out of their playrbase on that, the game will also be visually stunning, no doubt there.

* Visuals will be great because pretty much all games nowadays have good to amazing graphics, graphics were great with the Andromeda and Inquisition - and graphics is still a main marketing thing. Screwing up visuals is pretty hard (and devastating for the game) these days with the technology we have. * Party members will be decent, even the most atrocious games of Bioware had at least serviceable characters. And I expect DA:4 to be mediocre. * Character customization (just a gut feeling) * Map sizes (lol). Since, for some reason, map size has been THE beauty standard for games for the past 10 years, and its relatively easy to achieve, BW will make sure to make them HUGE. Its like with music, if you can't make good music you make LOUD music, its the same thing with maps and their size. The rest, I'm not so sure. And I know things Bioware will definitely screw up, more than they will get right, but oh well.

Characters, dialogue, the meat of the story, fewer fetch quests and a tighter arc, and I think the general atmosphere is going to be veeerry well done. That's just a hunch, though. I feel like they're going to put the brakes on the "bisexual dude who almost exclusively talks about women" thing. Or one desperately hopes so, anyway.

90% sure the game will have amazing graphics, even though I personally do not care too much about them. Say what you want about Anthem, but the graphics was amazing. And I love the magicpunk artstyle they seem to be using for Tevinter.
Combat will probably be an improved, refined and expanded version of Inquisition, and I'm all for it.
Also, fairly safe bet we'll get decent-to-great voice acting.
What I hope they get right, but unfortunately am not sure of, is characters and story, which are pretty much the main thing I care about... I don't feel neither particularly optimistic nor pessimistic about these, I just hope they got these two elements right.

WHAT DO YOU THINK DA4 WILL GET RIGHT? Short answer everything i have faith that they will get everything right so great story great characters great graphics great romance options etc. DA Inquisition was great i at least had a lot of fun with that game so why not the upcoming game as well.

Well I am hoping they find a good balance with level design and pacing. Of the 3 DA games the first one still has the best pacing and it's pacing isn't perfect. I want a linear experience that still allows for exploration and discovery but in a way that doesn't hamper the pacing of the game or story.

Well frostbite seems quite good visually, so i'll say visually attractive. While i wasn't a particular fan of Inquisitions companions personally, companions are a definite strength of Bioware so hopefully that. I'd love them to create vibrant city areas but got my concerns on that front.
