With the series' last installment turning towards a more open world, some players found areas like Dragon Age: Inquisition's Hinterlands to be just too large. RELATED: The Elder Scrolls 6 Should 'Steal' One Feature From Dragon Age Dragon Age 4 should stick to Inquisition’s two-country map set up, allowing players to gain new insight into some of the civilizations mentioned throughout the series, but keeping the world and the story it’s telling immersive by maintaining a limited scope. While the series’ first two installments kept players contained to one country, Inquisition's map broke the trend, allowing the Inquisitor to explore both Ferelden and its neighboring nation, Orlais. This makes Dragon Age companions like Sten the Qunari in Dragon Age: Origins all the more compelling due to fans' limited windows into other parts of the world, creating the immersive feeling of living in a fantasy land where much remains to be explored.

Much of what makes Thedas feel realistically huge is the lack of knowledge the player and many of the characters they meet have of its peripheries. With Dragon Age 4 in development, many players are excited to learn about corners of the world that, so far, BioWare has kept shrouded in mystery.
