Gaider's thoughts about Morrigan can be found in this GI interview.

Almost all of my characters have been more or less Andrastian. I plan to continue that tradition in Inquisiton, at least with my human inquisitors. I somewhat like the Chantry.

Same here. I'd like the option to fully support the Chantry.

[ChrisRudson]

I never cared much about the chantry. So, yeah, I'd like the option to not support them. There were certain times where you could voice out your belief on the previous games, but I hope that this time it would be recognized by people(NPC's). It would give our own characters a much wider diversity on how people around us would react.

Everybody's got a bridge to sell, eh?

 

Basically.

Hasn't it been said we don't have to be associated with the chantry?

The developers said the player won't be forced to work for the Chantry or believe in the Maker. The developers also said the Inquisition is formed "in opposition" to the Chantry, and that the protagonist isn't a "puppet of the church".

No, the original Inquisition was its own. It was independent. The Chantry grew, made a deal with it which included it joining as a part of the Chantry structure and splitting into the Templars and the Seekers. The Chantry wished to oversee it because it was a very zealous organization that wanted to control mages and the Chantry wanted to put a leash on it. That is just how I saw it anyway it what has been said, a big group somewhat out of control and the Chantry wanted to lessen the danger of it by controlling it.

 

Here's the description of the First Inquisition from World of Thedas:

 

"The birth of the Chantry took place more than nine ages ago, and the mists of time have obscured what were once well-known facts. It is commonly believed that the Chantry alone created the templars and the Circle of Magi. 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 in a world gone mad.

Was theirs 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. This even application of justice let 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 the support of the fledgling Chantry. They believed, with all their heart, that the Templar Order was the answer a desperate Thedas needed the most in a terrible time. Ultimately, the Inquisition was composed of independent idealists and not Chantry zealots, and that is the truth."

Keep in mind, that's one of the "biased" sections of the book. It's a codex entry by Genetivi, so less so than most but it's outside of the objective main text.

[Master Shiori]

Why not it is like saying that playing warden who doesn't like warden shouldn't and only option should be kill yourself throwing at archdemon quoting duncan and their creed...

First my pc philosophy , view and religion should be up to me no thanks for another hawke even mass effect better handled that than da and thats bad when action shooter with elements of rpg have better rp than something what should be real rpg...

 

I'm sure the players will be able to decide what their Inquisitor believes in and how they feel towards the Chantry, Mages, Templars and other major organizations that are present in the game.

 

However, I strongly doubt that not agreeing with the Chantry will mean you can go on a spree of destruction where you slaughter priests and burn down any trace of the Maker and his faith.

Considering that we don't have an "unbiased" source on the original Inquisition (and what exactly would an unbiased source even be in this case? Every group or organization came into some sort of contact with the original Inquisition and they all likely developed their own views of it as a result of that experience), this is the only source of information available to us. 

Also, Genetivi writes on a wide number of topics and, from what I've read of his work, seems to at least try to keep an open mind.
