I don't really mind the Inquisition, or Inquisitor title either Reznore, but I can see why some people are put off by it. (MMG pretty much nails it right on the head in her post)

So, quick off topic question for you all. I'm currently doing a human noble origin playthrough of DA: Origins, and I've noticed that each time I visit one of the key locations (Circle Tower, Orzammar, Dalish Camp, etc) I always get the urge to stop playing immediately, and go create another character that originates from that origin.

Any of you guys and gals have that same issue? It's something that really makes me sad that it seems like we wont be able to play through the story of origin for our characters in the next game (ah there we go, had to loop it around to make it somewhat on topic again)


I feel this way whenever I go to Orzammar or the Denerim alienage. I just love the underdog origins of CE and DC, but HN always wins out for me. I don't really enjoy the Mage or Dalish Origin though the latter I enjoy for it's characters and the opening sequence with Tamlen.

I like that idea, but like you mentioned the survey says we'll have to lead the Inquisiton from the start... although, that could be "from the start- after the tutorial" lol.

I'm sorry, but my feeble brain just channeled Richard Dawson:

I don't think we will play a poor peasant who just somehow stumble on the Inquisition.
We will probably go to the peace gathering , you could be a mage , ex templar , noble ...etc.
Then BOOM , you survive , maybe save someone important , well you show you have some skill during this event.

Later someone get in touch with you , "The peace gathering was a failure , we're still in chaos , and we have a magical mystical boom to solve.The chantry can't help us .You're skilled X!We need you , the Inquisition needs you!"
Your PC : well ...ok.

I'm not sure it has to be very complicated , with the chaos Thedas is facing ...it's like a Blight , if you're a hero you just can't look the other way.

Maybe they're pulling a mass recruitment because of a shorage due to the war. Maybe we're nothing special but our father/brother/mother/sister was and we're pulled because they assume we have these special qualities as well (maybe we do, maybe not). My thought is that if we're initially lumped in with a group, sort of like our Warden, then the only thing that would make us special is that we survived an attack or something. Of course, we could always be a spy for the other team too.


You could be onto something there! Maybe our "tutorial" will be us training etc and then we just happen to be the best of the bunch or do something noteworthy that bags us the role of Inquisitor? ... Or everyone else dies LOL!

This was sorta like something I was just thinking. Maybe you are just some joe schmoe, shanghai'd/recruited/whatever, and in fact,  you're such a nobody, you get sent off on a suicide mission, since you're a red shirt. But, you amazingly survive, yada yada, cue next story beat, you're on your way up in the world. Of course... that doesn't quite jibe with leading the Inquisition 'from the start' or whatever the leaked survey said, but it could still be a short quest I suppose (like the tutorial part).


I like that idea, but like you mentioned the survey says we'll have to lead the Inquisiton from the start... although, that could be "from the start- after the tutorial" lol.


Yeah from the start could mean from the start of the main plot or from the start of the organization which is confusing to say the least. I mean maybe the group is so small at the beggining that you just sort of float to the top or whoever your partner is pulls an Alistair and lets you lead.

I suspect it will be a Grey Warden-esque recruitement. You're not really special or battle proven, you've just been better than the average bear :D

Ha! "Operation Human Sheild". The only way to earn your blue shirt is to survive being a red.

Anyway, I was thinking about RL in certain countries one is required by law to serve at least 2 years in the military... could be something of that nature. Maybe during your suicide run, being the only survivor you accidentally overhear the enemies plotting as you play dead. That would make you a little special. Or a coward. LOL


I guess we need to take a look at that survey, and try to work out a rough timeline for the protagonist (let's just presume the description is still legit):

"when a desperate gathering in the name of peace becomes the epicenter of a magical blast that decimates the Chantry's leadership, it becomes clear that someone or something is manipulating events to drive the world to chaos. From the ashes of that explosion, something new arises- the Inquisition."

This indicates that the Inquisition is formed after the blast, which suggests that the creation/resurrection of this new group happened as a direct result of the blast and probably hadn't even been thought of/discussed until after sh!t hit the fan. So Meanie's suggestion of being recruited either forceably or through choice could be a high possibility, since they're likely desperate to enlist anyone at this point.

The suggestion that we'd have to take the reigns as the Inquisitor from the beginning actually comes from the German version of the survey:

"It is up to you how you lead the inquisition. But you'll ]have to take lead of it from the beginning."

Perhaps this part is a translation issue? It could quite easily mean that we pick up the role of the Inquisitor from the start, rather than playing a background origin first. As we know, we won't be getting playable origins, so maybe that's what that sentence is suggesting?

What does seem kinda weird/suspect is that our version of the survey description says that a magical blast causes the Inquisition to be formed, whereas the German version says that a portal between worlds opens up and demons pour out, meaning that the veil rips open.

Can a magical blast and a massive veil tear be considered as the same thing? Unless all that magic is the tipping point for the veil finally breaking through lol.

'take lead of it from the beginning' always sounded to me like one of big 'things' we do over the course of the whole game is decide whether the Inquisition is a good witch or a bad witch, or perhaps do we use diplomacy or force of strength. Kind of like how you get to decide if you upgraded Warden's keep or not over time and that had repercussions at the end of the game. 

Wasn't there another part of one of the surveys that said something about how the 'old' Inquisition name/reputation is used...? Don't have time to go dig it out...

I'd read that as being kind of one in the same. A magical blast would cause the Veil to tear, I assume. I don't think you can just blast a hole through using conventional weapons.

I got the impression that it was our choice whether or not to actually lead the group which is a bit odd, but maybe they ask us whether we want to. It won't really be a choice though, we'll probably get the, "But you need to or the world will burn" etc.

I mean, where the hell did the cloak come from? Do they really have time to make a pretty little cloak to be awarded to the Inquisitor when they're in the middle of all this chaos? That seems kinda odd. Which does make me wonder if they're gonna dust off a cloak that belonged to the leader of the old Inquistion, pat our protagonist on the arse and send him/her off to save the world. *Plays the kazoo*

I imagine they are the same thing, though I guess the veil tearing could be a later event. Like I doubt we'll just have Val Royeaux crawling with demons throughout the game, because thats a bit to much like Origins.

Rofl, as much as I love the kazoo I think they mean in the symbolic sense. The "cloak" is more of the title as opposed to an actual item.

You know... the cloak thing seems to actually be a big indicator of rank in Thedas. It's something I've been noticing recently. In Asunder, Evangeline loses her Knight-Captain's red cloak. In Stolen Throne, Loghain gets some kind of special lieutenant's cloak. So, I'm increasingly getting the impression that cloaks, as opposed to shoulder knots or medals or what have you, seem to indicate rank in DA. So, the Inquisitor's cloak sounds to me like that's just the mantle of your rank as Inquisitor. :shrug: My $0.02.

(edit: but an actual cloak nonetheless, not symbolic)

If the Chantry leadership are gonna get killed then it makes sense that the peace gathering would take place in Val Royeaux, but like you said, if the veil rips open immediately then the place is gonna be crawling with demons 'n' sh!t. 

... I suppose that would be a good explaination as to why mages would be needed, perhaps the rebelled mages would be summoned to temporarily seal up the tear with their power combined... (just like Captain Planet). :lol:

Not sure if you saw my response above, but I think the cloak is a real indicator of rank.

Which does make me wonder if they're gonna dust off a cloak that belonged to the leader of the old Inquistion, pat our protagonist on the arse and send him/her off to save the world. *Plays the kazoo*


Rofl, as much as I love the kazoo I think they mean in the symbolic sense. The "cloak" is more of the title as opposed to an actual item. 


Then why is the Inquisitor wearing a red and black cape in the concept art from the survey and the World of Thedas book?


To show that he/she is the Inquisitor? Idk. I can't imagine it'd be on every armor though, know what I mean? It's sort of like how all of Hawke's concept art has him in the mage Champion armor or the Warden is in the CGI trailer's armor. I do hope we get to wear that outfit though :D

Alistair came 3rd in mine to Dog, because I accidentally clicked the wrong thing. Cullen came 1st, obviously!


It only asked me ONCE if I liked Cullen. I think he was up against Sebastian. I like them both, so I clicked that.

Kind of annoying!

It also only asked me once about Sebastian, and then he came in tied for third. It asked me about Cullen 3 or 4 times I think. There must be a few "battles" that are proxies.
