One Dragon Age: The Veilguard player made an incredibly interesting discovery over the weekend, a conspiracy theory board connecting every protagonist and their companions.
Starting from the left, we have The Warden, i.e. the Hero of Ferelden, followed by Hawke, the Inquisitor, and Rook. But what's especially interesting is that they all connect to a shadowy fifth figure. It's unclear who this represents, but there are a couple of intriguing theories.
BioWare's first single player RPG in years was bound to land in the middle somewhere.
The obvious one is that this fifth figure represents the inevitable Dragon Age 5. It doesn't give us much to chew on, but we know that BioWare has an entire storyline planned out, so it would make sense for this board to include a future protagonist as well as past and present ones.
Another idea posited by several commenters is that this fifth figure is a fourth wall break. It's not a new protagonist, it's us — the player. If so, somebody in Thedas has figured out that every major hero over the last few decades is really one person, controlled by an outside influence. That certainly fits the conspiracy theme.
Beyond the main four...
