The Window of Possibilities for Dragon Age 4's Protagonist is Wide Open

With the upcoming release of Dreadwolf, the latest installment in the Dragon Age series, fans are eagerly anticipating what new experiences and perspectives the game will bring. As a standalone experience that newcomers can step into, the window of possibilities for the next protagonist is wide open. The previous games in the series have all tied together while still allowing players to enjoy them as individual experiences.

Dragon Age: Origins saw us become a Grey Warden and fight to stop the Blight, earning ourselves the title of Hero of Ferelden. Dragon Age 2 shifted the focus to Hawke and their family, who were forced to flee to the city of Kirkwall where they got caught up in the ongoing conflict between the mages and templars. Dragon Age: Inquisition then followed the story of the Inquisitor, an individual who inadvertently gained a magical mark on their hand known as the Anchor that could seal tears in the Veil.

With every teaser, update, and supposed leak that surfaces, my thoughts continue to swirl around one very big question that still remains: Who will we be? Each Dragon Age entry has put us in different roles that give us new perspectives on the world at large. The promise of venturing to Tevinter for the first time is already a lot to look forward to.

With the official title of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, one of the most divisive characters in all of Thedas is returning: Solas. In fact, I haven't really stopped thinking about the prospect of a new installment since I first saw the credits roll on Dragon Age: Inquisition over eight years ago. And now that it's been officially announced back in 2018, I don't think I've stopped thinking about Dragon Age 4.

The possibilities are endless for who we will become in this latest installment, and fans can't wait to find out. With Dreadwolf set to follow the tradition of previous games as an entry that newcomers can step into, it's clear that Bioware is committed to providing a new perspective on the world of Thedas. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the series, Dragon Age 4 promises to be an exciting ride.
