First we had the Warden. Allied to the Warden faction/beliefs/ideals.


Then we had the Champion. A leader to either the mages or the Templars.


Now we have DA3: Inquisition. Going by the habit of our old PCs being referred to by a title mostly rather then name, and given the title.

Will our PC for DA3 be referred to as the Inquisitor? A servant to the Chantry and subordinate to an agent of the seekers such as Cassandra?

And given that the Seekers are mostly Elite Templars, will we be allied to them during this war and DA3?

What do you think the role of the "Inquisitor" will be? And who do you think he or she will be allied with?


(Note this mostly logical speculation on my part using the information from DA2, the codex and the title of DA3)

My assumption is that the Inquisitor is first tasked with hunting down the masterminds of some disaster in the early game and then finds that the conspiracy goes deeper.

The Inquisition is created by either Empress Celene or the Divine from those Seekers/templars who are still loyal to the Chantry.

Our PC will probably have a set name like Hawke did but be referred to a lot by our title (Inquisitor)

I doubt they would force us to be allied to just one side without choice. We won't be stuck with siding with the Templars no matter what our title is.

I want to be allied with the Dalish! Not Templars or Mages.

I don't think they'd make our PC's background so linar like they did in DA2. I would like to see our PC be able to either choose the side of the Templars or Mages but in an extreamly good case we don't choose either and just focus on ending the war.

I wouldn't mind being able to choose to be a Seeker but I don't want my PC forced into serving the Chantry. I think they're going back more toward Origins with us choosing our backstory.

I doubt we'd be stuck with them for the whole game if this is the case, maybe a few missions or an "act" before we are "free agents" or betrayed or something, you know, the usual .

Given our PCs past allegiances, I expect this PC will be loyal to the divine and the chantry. Maybe like the past 2 games, we'll rise up in the ranks and decide that factions future.

Right now everything is speculation. I honestly think that we will just be a free agent the whole game doingour own thing and through our choices we ally ourselves with a specific faction.

I don't know if I like the idea of being loyal to the DIvine though. I secretly think she's actually a blood mage and wanted the war to happen (but that just might be the conspiracy theorist in me talking lol)

Anything's possible

[FINE HERE]

I thought the Chantry and the templars would be separated because of the war...? Did I misinterupt that...? I thought they were more like arbitors than on side with the templars. Actually, I thought the inquisitor was gonna be an arbitor...

Everything is speculation just some spec can be more logical. I do believe will be a free agent at some point, early or midgame, but everyone starts somewhere. It seems likely we will start of allied to one faction, again likely it will be the Seekers/Chantry.

This is further backed up by the hint that DA3 takes place in Orlais, the seat of power of the Chantry. Maybe not loyal to the divine, but loyal to the chantry and their beliefs, just the PC/Inquistor will choose how he/she decides its best to follow it.

The Templars still fight for the Chantry, or so they believe. The Seekers are also Templars who act as the divines agents.

Speculation never hurt anybody....

I agree that with Orlais being the primary setting it makes being allied to the Divine (at least at first) rather likely. Like I said I still think she is a secretly a mage wanting to undo the chantry but needed choas to make that happen and she is really the mastermind behind it all (Anders blowing up the Chantry and all that crap)

...I know it isn't likely but it's fun to think about

Well, it could be that to build its numbers etc, agents from all backgrounds are taken to serve the Divine. So a mage could be be taken into the ranks.

Either that or we can join the Black Divine, the Tevinter Chantry.

They could bring in mages to serve the Divine but they would likely be made tranquil and only used to enchant the other classes weapons (then again Sandal will be there too. Maybe trainging people how to echant things lol)

Then again if Justinia is really a mage I wouldn't doubt her allowing normal mages into her forces (likely only loyal circle mages she can manipulate).

[Giltspur]

Naturally, people will be afraid that they're going to be forced onto a side of a conflict that they won't be comfortable with.  I think the Inquisition, despite their scary name, will be a pretty benign group though.  For example, we have the Leliana, Cassandra and Justinia faction of Seekers.  Justinia released the cure for tranquility as a peace offering for mages and earned the wrath of another faction of Seekers while Seekers such as Leliana and Cassandra stayed loyal to her.  So Justinia, Cassandra and Leliana are resolution-minded moderates--not a bunch of religious extremists agitating for purification.

Also, the power of the Chantry will probably be gutted, meaning that the oppressive religion that dominates everyone that you sometimes find in fantasy and sci-fi probably won't be present in DAIII and if it is, that likely won't be the group you're a part of.  They will probably be a down-and-out religion trying to survive a dark period and make the best of a bad situation.

So those are a couple reasons to be open-minded about the Inquisition.  Also, sometimes when people see Inquisition they probably think "anti-mage".  But you can play a mage.  So they won't be that heavy-handed.  The lines won't be that clear in the mage-templar war.  You'll have some Seekers (those that oppose Justinia's faction) vs other Seekers (Justinia, Leliana, Cassandra, etc) and some mages against other mages.  And if they plan to introduce some choice back into the game, the Inquisitor is going to have to have freedom with regards to how he approaches the different factions in the game.

Those are my early guesses based on how Justinia has been portrayed so far in the lore.  That said, voices of moderation tend to get killed in the opening act--so her death might help get the story to a point of no return.

In Origins you choose your background and remain that person up until Ostagar where you become a warden and make your choices that affect the game.
in 2 your a refugee untill you get back from the Deep Roads and begin to make your name and the choices you make begin to affect the game.
I am guessing you will start one way and stay that way until a certian point in the game where you begin to make those choices that will impact the game heavily.

Im guessing if we do get different backgrounds, we'll get a "Duncan" moment.

Dalish mage, hunted down by Rouge Templars. Saved by Seeker agents.
Human Rouge Templar, injured in a conflict with mages. saved by Seeker agents.

etc etc..

Either way, our PC will become Inquisitor early in the game if not by the end of the prologue.

Agreed. Rereading my post I see I said it wrong. But yeah, s/he will start with some background but will eventually become the Inquisitor where s/he will make those choices that will impact the story.

[Conniving_Eagle]

Maybe they haven't decided yet? Was it always known that the our protaganist in DA2 was going to be named Hawke, or were they referred to as "The Champion"?

Or maybe no one knows because all the Inquisitor can do is ask questions. Or maybe torture people? Is there an Andrastian Inquisition?

Somebody had a great idea in my Dalish Origin for DA3 Thread

A Dalish Elf who got rescued by the chantry during it's clans attack.

Ofcourse this could be true, its all speculation.

It could be just coincidence that the DA3s title is heavily related to the Chantry and the Seekers, while also playing on the same kind of title we are usually referred to in DA1 and 2.

Alot of things just fit, the location of the game, the title, the chantrys fate etc.

Our pc will see the end of the prothean's cycle.

The Templars have split from the Chantry. Perhaps the Inquisition is the Chantry promoting the Seekers to a more active roll.

Most have split. Few still remain loyal to the Divine, along with the Seekers.

[RandomSyhn]

Any one else think we could start this game as the inquisitioned? (that's probably the wrong verb) Say maybe coming from any background hauled in for questioning much like Varric was. I can't remember if being an inquisitor was part of the original description.

Can I ask you:

Wich group saw the Inquisitors as a benign group? Humans Mages? Dalish Mages? Chantry?

The Inquisition was a cult wich, following the First Blight, rose up to defend Thedas from the dangers of magic and heretics.
Another of their bening result was the creation of the Circle of Magi and we know how well treated mages were in there. Not only kirkwall  mages suffer because of the Circle of magi, the escape mages from starkheaven burned they circle because of the wonderful time they had there, am I right?

Oh and David Gaider hinted long ago that the Inquisition may rise again, so is nOT a new organization is the same one but now they allow mages who under they bening watch can practice blood-magic and will help them stop?  stop what? evil templars? demons and the none inquisitors blood-mages?  rofl.

To me doesn't make sense the Inquisitors who fought long ago against blood-mages to have them as possible Leaders of a group as it would with the wardens who even if they stop a blight they are still bound to the deep road for the "Expiration Date". if you know what i mean.

Any way I hope even if is fool hopes that making a PC inquisitor is not forced but a choice and thats one of the things I really really want, not to play as Inquisitor.

Inquisitor will just be a title like Warden and Champion.

Will hold status and power, but thats all, our choices are our own.
