* It's going to open with the Varden and the Elves marching on Uru'baen and Galbatorix massacring the vast majority of their forces, which will be an effort by Paolini to further subvert the cliches involved the Inheritance cycle as well as give a reasonable amount of time for Eragon to find the other egg, hatch it, and train the new Rider(probably Arya).

[[WMG: Arya is a RomanticFalseLead, and Elva is Eragon's final love interest.]]
Think about it. She matures at an incredible rate both physically and mentally, is magic, and is still young enough that she will probably view Eragon as a role model, intentionally or not. The botched blessing in book 1 formed a bit more of a bond than they thought. When Elva looks 16 in a couple of years, and Eragon hasn't aged a bit, that's when it will happen. Hey, makes as much sense as Bella's daughter/Jacob... Also, Eragon/Arya is so obvious that subverting it would be worth it.

[[WMG: Paolini is setting up a ScrewYouElves of ''massive'' proportions from the dwarves.]]
It's not easy to see, but the virtues-to-vices ratio for the elves has been slowly decreasing. In Book 1, they were described in vague enough terms to be perfect. However, they were rather bland, while the dwarves, Paolini's favorite (this is important), were decently characterized and fairly diverse.
Come Book 2, while elves were given more "good" traits, they were also shown to be a bit petty, and when Eragon's elven sparring partner accepts him, he's never seen in the book again, as if he lost the characterization that made him important. Eragon starts quietly disagreeing with the elves - many people seem to overlook that Eragon disagrees with the elves' atheism. He also calls them out for hiding in their forest, albeit politely. Meanwhile, the dwarves are more fleshed out and realistic, and we learn more about their history, economy, and religion. During the final battle, they come to the aid of the Varden despite not being part of it. Orik insults Oromis to his face, and Oromis accepts his accusations.
In Book 3, elves are given almost no more virtues, while being shown as being disconnected from the outside world, placing more value on ''trees'' than the lives of the people they're allied with. They donate a meager twelve elves to aid Eragon, who mostly only act as a backup power supply. During the final battle, a human soldier accuses Eragon of betraying his race due to his elvish appearance, while Oromis - a powerful elf and a Dragon Rider to boot - gets killed. The most important elf in the book, Rhunön, all but ''hates'' her species, and identifies much more with the dwarves. The elves as a whole are out of the picture almost entirely, while a good chunk of the book is devoted to more dwarven customs. At least one of their gods is all but confirmed to exist - trashing the elves' atheism - and when Eragon prays to him, his prayer is answered.
Overall, the view of elves presented to the reader has seemingly gone down, while Paolini's favorite has been given more importance. Given the ElvesVsDwarves relationship in the series, it's probable that the dwarves are going to screw the elves over, and no one will mind (especially not the reader).

Galbatorix is a Goa'uld. The Elves are Ancients who've descended, and the Gray Folk are the Asguard. In the end it won't be Eragon's destiny to stop Galbatorix, only to act as the Message Carrier for Alagasia to Stargate Command so that Alagasia can finnaly be freed from the Tyranny of the Goa'uld.

* I disagree. If it isn't Arya, I will be ''extremely'' surprised. There's a long list of secondary possibilities, but Roran isn't on it, primarily because Katrina gave us a speech at some point which was all about how Roran was truly a greater warrior than Eragon and the elves because he faced the enemy with no advantage, just cold steel and courage, or something to that effect. Anyway, it would sort of undermine that message if the character who is a hero because he ''doesn't'' use magic got the spiffy Dragon Rider powers.
