It's been some time since Inquisition. Do we know anything about DA4?

I didn't find Trespasser depressing so much as frustrating. There was some interesting lore there but really the whole plot revolved around the PC getting to the same point of knowledge as you already had at the end of the main game, in other words the revelation that Solas was the Dread Wolf. In a way it was a pity that they put the scene in at the end of the main game with Flemeth because you knew the whole way through that Solas was the Dread Wolf and that he had given his orb to Corypheus. The only extra information we were given is why he did it.
To my mind it was just like an extended teaser trailer for the next game, which has not yet even been announced. Which is where I agree with Nightscrawl because whilst the developers claimed it brought the story arc to a close for the Inquisitor, everyone I've discussed it with outside of these boards is convinced that the PC is going to be returning in the next game. It ended their role as "Inquisitor of All Thedas" but not their involvement in the story.
Honestly, if you had had that much personal history with Solas, would you simply step back and leave matters to someone else? Would you happily be able to get on with your life with that threat hanging over you? Then DG admitted that DAI only told half the originally intended story, so it is hardly surprising it feels like unfinished business for our PC.
I also found it disappointing that they brought the Inquisition to an end after only three short adventures following the main game. I had thought they had set up an excellent premise for releasing DLC in between the end of the main game and the start of the next one, with the Inquisitor continuing to deal with problems across Thedas (involving lots of different locations) but instead they simply ended it (or cut it down to a local level). Basically I'm just disappointed that there is nothing for me to do except write my own fan fiction to fill in the time until the next instalment, whenever that may be.

Pretty sure this is what the Fade is for. Well, that and shitposting in Vir Dirthara about temple color schemes. That's why the elves are so mad at the Dread Wolf. Locking away the gods is one thing, but messing with the IRC servers is the true betrayal.

I mean, Inquisitor finding out about true identity wasn't really the point - like... just ho many things happened aside from Inky finding out the truth about Fen'Harel? In fact, the truth about Fen'Harel's revolt and him creating the Veil alone was a bombshell in itself, and that's aside from deciding the fate of Inquisition, uncovering Qunari plans and stopping them and Inky losing their arm. Here's a little problem though - everything that happens after Exalted Council is a matter of spoilers, including a question of whether Inquisitor returns and what exactly are they doing in order to stop Solas. ... Why would they want to spoil that?

So no nothing Eh, we need to call it something other than "The hypothetical next Dragon Age game that is yet to be confirmed." Just as we referred to DAI as "DA3" for quite a long while.

I'm well aware that every AFTER the Exalted Council is spoilers, which is why I thought they should have held off releasing the Trespasser DLC until nearer the time of the next game and used the in between period to show what you were doing in the 2 years BEFORE the Exalted Council.
In my own case, I was happy that in my game world both the Descent and Jaws of Hakkon occurred after the main game because that explained what I was doing for at least part of the time. Of course the new comic series is going to be covering another story that was taking place during the same period because the advanced publicity for them has someone being approached by Charter (once again) on behalf of the Inquisition. That will at least be something to fill the time but to be honest I'd rather be part of a story than reading about it.

Solas fangirls like to cry Plus, the title is actually very neutral - Fen'Harel could be 'hunted' by anyone, no matter of intentions towards the character. Also - the similarity with Witch Hunt has always been intentional.

That will at least be something to fill the time but to be honest I'd rather be part of a story than reading about it. Game development doesn't work that way. DAI development was nearing to a close. Everything concerning that game was being phased out. Several devs had moved to other projects, and several more would be leaving after that. When DA4 development goes into full swing, everything is going to be focused on that game, that story, that new protagonist, those new combat systems, and so on. David Gaider described essentially this when he expounded on the cancellation of the Exalted March DA2 expansion. Once that was decided, they had to shift everything over to the new game. Regardless of any of the lore reveals concerning elves and Solas, Trespasser is a part of DAI because it decides the fate of the Inquisition itself. Our Inquisitor makes that choice. It is unrealistic to expect that they should have done as you suggest especially since we don't know what sort of time fame will exist between the close of Trespasser and the start of DA4.

But we do have 2 DLCs happening before Exalted Countcil - Jaws Of Hakkon and Descent. I mean... heck, you yourself mentioned them. Besides - I don't see reason why they should have waited with Trespasser. Like... how that would make any sense (also from business or development perspective? The support for the game ended in 2015!), especially considering how impatient people were to get a piece of DLC throwing any light on ancient elves and Dread Wolf? And with release of MEA and announcement of Secret IP (which would be a Big Deal for Bioware, considering they'll be introducing new IP to the market), you'd think the DA DLC would get enough attention as it did? Nevermind that Trespasser had a galvanizing effect on at least the most dedicated portion of the fanbase. They gave us enough new information to speculate on for years.

BioWareProblems @biowareproblemsHow Inquisition should have ended: vanilleice.deviantart.com/art/How-Dragon-Age-Inquisition-should-have-ended-675101104?src=MC_deviation_stack … Mark Darrah @biomarkdarrah Didn't we literally record this line? @patrickweekes Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes Actually yes! David Gaider @davidgaider Ugh THAT line. We tried out several, as I recall, but that's the one which made me groan every time. Also: "Better to burn out than...FADE AWAY" Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes THAT WAS MINE I think. Vicki @vj_amalea If I may, it's featured in this video: Patrick Weekes @patrickweekesOh man, Rift You a New One, I'd forgotten that one.
