The leaked descriptions don't really offer any solid clues.

"The great nation of Orlais, the most powerful empire in Dragon Age, tears itself apart in civil war. The stout men and women of Ferelden struggle to recover and reclaim their nation from the horde of vile Darkspawn that lay waste to its lands a decade ago. The Chantry, the once-unified faith of the Dragon Age world stands divided. The Templar Order has broken away, claiming the church has become too lax in policing the dangerous powers of the mages. The mage Circles have rebelled, believing the Templars have become too strict, too zealous in their duties, and too quick to slaughter those who dare step out of line.
The World of Dragon Age is on the brink of collapse, and 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. As the Inquisitor, it falls to you to build your power and martial your forces, uncover secrets and build connections across the world. You must explore forgotten places, uncover ancient mysteries and uproot those who would destroy the delicate fabric of the world."

"A portal between the worlds unleashes hords of demons in the land, civil
wars rip apart nations and the corruption is limitless. Someone is
behind the shadows, drawing the threads which destroy the world. Time
has come for the Inquisition.

Take the Inquisitor's cloak and
lead the only force able of bringing light into the darkness. Choose the
direct method and gather your armies, send spies into the shadows or
engage in a political war, make friends and use your connections
indirectly: it is up to you how you lead the inquisition. But you'll
have to take lead of it from the beginning. Make your player a rogue,
warrior or mage and set up your crew from up to ten complex
companions to lead them against those who attack you by systematically
spying on, revealing and destroying them."

intresting....says nothing about being an elf

Here's my take on a possibility:

Some Dude is Inquisiting. He hires you to help him out. Then, a bunch of Crap Happens and he gets killed, dying heroically in your arms and pressing upon you his magic amulet and the desperate hope you will Finish His Inquisiting to Stave Off Utter Ruin. You get the following options:

1. Yes, I will continue your quest beloved master!
2. I don't know if that's such a good idea.
3. Screw you and the horse you rode in on.

Next thing you know, ten billion assassins show up and try to kill you. Guess you'd better do some Inquisiting to get them off your back!

1. Oh, this is worse than I thought! Better get cracking!
2. Yikes, guess I'm screwed. Oh well, off I go.
3. Was that guy the ******* Illusive Man in disguise?! GODDAMMIT. Er, I mean, Maker . . . Damn It. *grumblegrumblegrumble* At least I can now murder tons of dudes. Can I torture some people for information? Yes? HOT DAMN. Oh who the heck is this giving me instructions, the Divine? Screw her too.

OMG....I almost wet myself laughing at that!

You will start right before your execution on a stake. Then a large dragon (Flemeth) will appear and start to burn everything in the area. You will be able to escape and you will also save the life of the Inquisitor, who is responsible for your execution. He will be thankful and you will become his new apprentice.

I thought Inquisition was about the mage-templar war. Maker, was I wrong.

And then you'll immediately ditch him at the nearest town and wander off doing whatever random stuff strikes your fancy until you finally get bored and go play something else . . . like 100 hours later.

I'm not sure how valid those "leaked" descriptions are.  After all, I think the Bioware writers know the difference between "martial" and "marshal".

At least, I HOPE they do, although The Gaider mixed up "redolent" and "indolent" in Asunder.

So, how do you think that we'll become an inquisitor?

First you need two very important weapons, fear and surprise, and ruthless efficiency.

[EricHVela]

You will start as the target of the Inquisition and not a member of it.

(A good guess as any.)

I hope BW wont stumble upon this thread so we could LAUGH about it when the game comes out with some of the great/ironic/sarcastic ideas posted here in it

... but, if they read it 6 months before release and treat it as leaked scenario... then its ME3 all over again, rewriting the game in parts and making a mess... what to do? What to do?

Because no one expects the Orlesian Inquisition?  

Seriously, if your character doesn't have the option to shout that (especially during battle!) then I'll be very mad with BioWare.

There MUST be at least one line including " noone expects the Orlesian Inquisition!" or this game wont be complete!
And since Templars/Inquisitiors are in play a lot, i want Holy Grenade action!

Well, Rogues were able to kick flasks of poison...
So why wouldn't templars be able to throw a holy handgrenade?  I mean, they could maybe make it with lyrium and some enchanting.  

And we'd better fight a bunny possesed by a demon, if you know what I mean...

I'm guess we'll choose from mass effect style background choices, get dropped into an area with slightly different begins depending on your background, get caught up in a stupendous event and be conscripted into the newly formed Inquisition.

Both would work, but martial makes more sense. To martial is to make ready for war and is commonly used in that way. To marshal is not as grammatically common or correct, and would mean to organize forces in this context.

EDIT- Oh, and those descriptions came from the same surveys that listed Inquisition as a possible title. They're legit.

I don't know if English is your first language, but martial is NOT A VERB, it is an ADJECTIVE.  You do not "martial" anything.  If you are gathering forces, you marshal them, which IS a verb.

[mousestalker]

Everything you need to know about being an inquisitor.

[LolaLei]

A case of mistaken identity maybe?

Perhaps you're in the area for whatever reason and during the blast the real Inquisitor gets killed. You find his/her body holding an emblem/scroll/whatever in their hand, so you take it (for whatever reason you see fit.) As you stumble out of the wreckage the Divine (or whoever is left still alive) notices you're carrying the emblem/scroll/whatever and jumps to the wrong conclusion. Before you can explain that there has been a mistake, you're thrust into the position of Inquisitor with sod all you can do about it.

In classical literature martial is commonly used as a verb. To marshal your forces would be to organize or gather them. To martial your forces would be to make them ready for war. Again, both work.

What classical literature would this be?  If it's been translated from another language into modern English (which is probably close to 100% of the classical literature I haven't read) this means nothing--you get a LOT of weird and incorrect word usage in translations.  Yes, I really do read that much.

And it's still not proper modern usage, regardless.  Marshal is a verb.  Martial is an adjective.

I think we'll have the choice to join the Inquisition or to defy them. We'll probably start out as some kind of farm animal and become a human being soon after the mid point of the game.

[Auintus]

As long as I can tell the Chantry and the Divine to stuff it, I'm good.
In all honesty though, I think we'll be just-recruited. Like at Ostagar. With less people dying. Hopefully.

BrotherWarth wrote...

Martial is used as a verb by Poe, Whitman, Shakespeare and many others. I also read a lot and minored in English Lit.

Not one word written by any of these fellows can be used to demonstrate correct modern English usage.  Poets (particularly Shakespeare) coin new word usages at the drop of a hat and often intentionally use puns.  Not to mention that Shakespeare predates the existence of codified English spelling, so for him, martial and marshal were probably interchangeable, and not words that actually mean different things.

That, and I know people who MAJORED in English Lit who cannot speak or write grammatically.  Nor spell.
