Death of the Inquisitor

[[500kOYA] Dark_raven]

I will be brief. Once upon a time, even before I got acquainted with the game, I decided to find a video on YouTube and wrote "The ending of Dragon age: inquisition". Then I came across a video where, approximately in the same location where the end of the "Trespasser" add-on takes place, there was an inquisitor dying from the anchor. And at the end of the video, he died, at the hands of the Bull (apparently they had an affair), and now I can’t find at least some mention of the death of the inquisitor anywhere. This topic has been tormenting me for a long time, can someone please tell me if this is real or am I crazy!?

Maybe it was a fan-made video, like some sort of fanfic? I haven't finished the game yet but I've never heard of the Inquisitor dying, on the contrary I've seen lots of people wondering if we would have the same protagonist in the next game. I know they lose their hand at the end of Trespasser but that's all.

I guess you'll be pretty limited in your class selections unless they give you a replacement!

obviously the mc must die so that another mc must rise. that's why hero of ferelden dying against the archdemon is the canon end

that's also why I'm afraid hawke dying in dai is gonna be cannon too

There is no canon end, no official ending unlike in other games of that sort. Everyone makes their own decisions and all are canon, you can customize your own story through Dragon Age Keep. So in my game the Hero of Ferelden is alive and so is Hawke. And that's as well canon as your ending (whatever it is), because BioWare made that decision. They decided to release Dragon Age Keep to make sure everyone will get their proper ending regardless of what "someone else" would "dictate" them as being canon.
The only real canon thing is the survival of Leliana in DAO, because she plays a big part in DAI as well. BioWare came out with an explanation, that even if you let her in Lothering and reject her the second time, she still survives (she has skills of her own), so the Inkvisitor may find her in DAI. That's the only real canon thing here. No particular ending is officially deemed true, or rather, all of them are because of DA Keep.

Don't even need DA Keep to keep em both alive, at least for Origins. Get the right quest line with Morrigan, play a male (female works too, with mods) and your character lives. That same character can exile Alistar, have him rule with zee queen, or have him rule alone. The 3 basic ♥♥♥♥♥ options you get in DAII if you don't have a viable save can all be done, and also can be mixed together.

Origins basically has what... 15+ endings at least? One for each race and background start, let alone just whether you die, live, or how "nice/mean" your character is. Close to double if we want to count female hero as different endings.

That's not what he was saying. We all know how to keep the HoF alive. He's saying that because of how these games are made, there are very few instances where your decision doesn't carry to the next game (his example being Leliana). Ergo, neither the HoF dying or surviving is canon because every game so far carries your decision. Even in Leliana's case (say, if you kill her) I'm pretty sure they at least try to explain it in-game (can't remember exactly). The very fact that you acknowledge there are so many endings only proves what he was trying to say. Because none of those ending are washed away by the next game(s). Ergo, no official canon. We'll see how Dreadwolf deals with these decisions.

the canon is default world state you get when you don't import decisions from previous games or make ones in keep
