Non, le principe de l'Inquisition dans Dragon Age n'est pas lié à la croyance. Les Inquisiteurs ont rejoint la Chantrie bien après leur création, non sur la base d'une foi commune mais d'un objectif commun : remettre de l'ordre sur des terres bouleversées par les Enclins et les démons.
Il faut regarder la définition "de base" de l'inquisition :
A. Enquête, recherche méthodique, rigoureuse.
B. Enquête indiscrète, arbitraire menée par une autorité politique ou religieuse contre une personne, une catégorie de personnes, parfois contre leurs biens.
Par ailleurs, l'Inquisition souffre surtout d'une "légende" (là, dans DA:I - voir World of Thedas - comme dans nos médias concernant l'inquisition "historique"). On n'est pas là pour faire un débat d'histoire mais les études contemporaines remettent en question la "légende noire" de l'Inquisition qui a commencé avec les Lumières jusqu'à la fin du XIXe siècle (qui ont fait la même chose avec les croisades, le concile de Maçon, etc.). On dirait que l'Inquisition de DA:I souffre de la même légende (voir description plus bas).
Pour mémoire, le texte sur l'Inquisition dans World of Thedas, traduit par N30jenesaispluslasuite quelque part dans ce topic :
Few recall that there was ever an Inquisition. Those who do believe it predated the Chantry, hunting cultists and mages in a reign of terror that ended only upon its transformation into the Templar Order. This, however, is not quite the truth.
One must keep in mind the state of Thedas prior to the Chantry's creation. It was a world where the only source of order, the Tevinter Imperium, had fallen apart. People blamed magic for the death of Andraste, the Blight, the terror they saw every day - and not without basis. Abominations and demons rampaged the countryside. No-one was safe. The Seekers of Truth were initially formed by disparate groups of men and women, determined to restore order because no-one else would do what was necessary. The truth they sought, the question they tried to answer, was how to restore sanity to a world gone mad.
Was there a reign of terror? Perhaps. But all evidence shows they were just as vigilant in their protection of mages as they were of regular people. Any time they intervened, an ad hoc trial was convened to determine the guilty party. The even application of justice led to their poor reputation, as the Seekers came down against every group at one time or another, their "Inquisition" gaining notoriety as being on no-one's side other than their own.
They believed themselves good people, however, and followers of the Maker's true commandments. This was never more evident than when they laid down their own banner in support of the fledgling Chantry. They believed, with all their heart, that the Templar Order was the answer a desperate Thedas needed most in a terrible time. Ultimately, the Inquisition was composed of independent idealists and not Chantry zealots, and that is the truth.
Vu le contexte, je parie qu'on devra rallier des factions à nos
troupes afin d'augmenter le niveau de nos ressources de guerre avant de
lancer l'assaut final dont le catalyseur sera l'arme ultime pour
refermer la brèche dans le ciel....
Et ME2, et DA:O...
