So much of BioWare and Electronic Arts' upcoming Dragon Age 4 remains a mystery, with players still waiting for a confirmed title or a glimpse of gameplay. Solas returns as the big bad, but apart from that, story details are scarce. Dragon Age 4's development has also been a marathon of mishaps and about turns, with a shift to include live-service multiplayer elements only for the studio to change its mind again after the failure of games like Anthem.

While a single-player narrative focus and a Tevinter setting has been confirmed for Dragon Age 4, not much else has. This has left plenty of room for fans of the series to speculate on what they think Dragon Age 4 will include, from returning characters to gameplay mechanics. One element that many gamers would love to see make a comeback is the character backstories featured in Dragon Age: Origins. While Dragon Age: Inquisition allowed players to pick their race and their starting class, only Dragon Age: Origins added individualized stories and starting points to these choices, and this level of customization and attention to detail would be a welcome feature in the upcoming installment.
