DRAGON AGE THE WARDEN SERIES

We didnвЂ™t relish missing a chance to see our first hero again, but we easily forgave the decision because it ultimately made sense.

Although theyвЂ™d risked their life to end the Blight, their legacy wasnвЂ™t deeply intertwined with the events taking place during Inquisition. When The Warden was name-dropped during DA:I it stung as we understood why this custom player character didnвЂ™t make a surprise appearance on any of the quests. WhatвЂ™s become of The Inquisitor? Has their mark finally killed them? Are they living happily ever after, or have they disappeared into the Wilds? If this new game gives our Inquisitor nothing more than a fleeting cameo, I would feel like everything we worked for during the third game was almost for nothing.

The thing is, while a new hero for the next game in the series wonвЂ™t unusual when compared with its predecessors, it feels like an odd choice following the events of Inquisition.

Consequently, weвЂ™ve been conditioned to expect a different hero when a new game is released because thatвЂ™s become the convention of the series. These unique characters have taken us down the twisted roads of Ferelden, and beyond. Since the birth of the Dragon Age series, weвЂ™ve been given three different heroes with each game. IвЂ™d be lying if I claimed that hearing this didnвЂ™t pique my curiosity, but it also caused alarm bells to sound as well. ItвЂ™s fair to say that our beginning will be more akin to how Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II start out: our hero will be plucked from their life and thrown in at the deep end. We arenвЂ™t chosen by fate, weвЂ™re not magical, weвЂ™re just a nobody that happens to be in the right (or wrong) place at the right time. Yet when the teaser trailer for Dragon Age 4 dropped, our beloved Varric informed us that weвЂ™re going to be playing as someone different. When the BioWareвЂ™s Trespasser DLC ended, the Inquisitor was a hand down, forced to make the choice whether to follow Solas as a friend or as an enemy.
