You're attempting to resurrect a long dead organization, gather recruits, spread across a good chunk of the continent, and save the world from whatever is causing the Veil tears.

You know what would help? Being an ally of one of the oldest, widely spread, and influential groups in Thedas.

And as a Seeker, Cassandra is an arguable heir of the first Inquisition. I don't see much difference between Dragon Age Inquisiting and Seeking.

Yeah that orgaonisation that lost now army ,influence and pretty much pray for someone to fix mess that they caused not mentioning that they are divided no one will throw their country in middle of a crisis to help chantry so well good luck besides helping organisation if you have opposing goals is long-term suicide

I'm not saying we will. But we will indeed have to rally different factions to fight the demon invasion. That will require solving conflicts, which will likely require taking sides. Don't you think we will be able to do so in the Mage-Templar War and in the fight between Celene and Gaspard? The real question, I'd say, is whether Nevarra will be another significant subplot.

 

The game is about building the Inquisition (recruiting people who sign up for the job, creating outposts, etc) and investigating the Veil tear. Not recruiting factions to fight something.

 

And to bring this thread back on track.

 

Going by Cassandra outfit, with the Inquisition symbols, and the concept art of the Inquisitor getting "named". I suspect that she is a full member of the organization and probably had an hand in recreating it. She's the best placed for this, considering that she is a Seeker of Truth and the Seekers were the higher-up of the original Inquisition. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if the group at the end of DA2 was the start of it.

I expressed myself wrong. My point is that it is all but certain that we will no doubt interact with a number of current conflicts affecting Thedas. What will "saving the world from itself," hints suggesting some sort of involvement in the Orlesian Civil War, yet more hints that we will discover what the Grey Wardens have been hiding all this time and what Flemeth and Morrigan are up to... World changing decisions are guaranteed.

I'm still wondering what the justification will be for random person who survived a nuclear blast getting to be the superior officer. I can get Alastair not wanting to lead, but Cassandra?

Apparently the Inquisitor can open rifts in the Veil to summon demons or something like that. If it's indeed true, perhaps that special power might be the reason why the Inquisitor becomes the leader and not Cassandra.

Agreed.

Beating her Martially or pledging yourself to a cause that she could agree with would likely achieve that.

 

Add in the fact the inquisitor is the sole one capable of closing the tears and poof, you have it.

Plot-point!

 

There is different choices here:

- special snowflake

- Cassandra knows that in The Game it's way better to have random person in charge than yourself.

- the previews are actually lying, the Inquisition is actually a triumvirate of Cassandra, Varric(or someone else) and the player (or a dual leadership of Cassandra/Player).

- Someone else (like the big bad) actually force the player on top in the hope that the Inquisition fail.

- I'm sure they are others.

 

Although, it should be noted that Cassandra was barking orders in the PAX demo (from telling the party what to do against the Behemoth, to telling Inquisition soldiers to close the cave passage).

Maybe we are just one of a group of people leading the Inquisition, but the PC is the one most connected to his/her men and shown to the world as 'the head' of the organization?

I find that a little too convoluted to be practical, from a game design perspective. If the Inquisitor is sharing leadership, I think it will be with only one or two more people. Cassandra will either be one of those or some sort of second in command, I would say.

True, very much true. I doubt my speculation will turn out to be correct, actually.

I greatly expect that the PC will be top dog. That tends to always be the case.

It sounds so dirty when you put it like that.

I'm going with "special snowflake". My bet has been that the sole survivor will get some special powers related to the Veil. According to the GameStar preview, there's at least some power available for the Inquisitor that consists in ripping the veil and summoning demons. Ok, it could be just another special mage power, nothing is confirmed yet, but it makes my suspicions stronger.

 

However, that would explain why the Inquisitor and not Cassandra leads the Inquisition. My question is, why does Cassandra help at all if she's not in charge?

 

Wild theory: the Divine dies at the beginning of the game. The rebirth of the Inquisition was her last card in case everything went to hell. Now the Chantry is in shambles, and while the Grand Clerics are fighting against each other, Cassandra feels that her duty is to make the Divine's last wish into a reality. Even if that means working with obnoxious, selfish renegades or blood mage pagans (up to a cinematic crisis point).

Given the "Jedi Order" angle that's been used to address the Inquisitor creating and shaping the Inquisition as the player sees fit, I'd have to wager it's due to the veil tears. Anything else runs into the area of the player possibly having opposing goals to her own.

It was last year, in a thread that specifically asked for it (well, for Orlais). I'll try to find it.

 

Well, ofcourse one won't become king/queen. The Inquisitor has no claim, only Cassandra. Even if you would marry her  - you'd still only be her consort.

 

Though Gaider most likely meant the whole king/queen thing in general.

Aveline? Err, No thanks but Cass yes!

 

:D

 

Hope her mage "boyfreind" shows up after two decades so i can flirt with Cass in front of him, I bet she would blush :P

To quote her in the PAX video: "We need the Inquisition to be strong". Cassandra want to stop the "madness" and the Inquisition is the organization with that mandate.

 

I think people have the wrong impression of the woman too, she never seemed to crave leadership position to me. She seems quite fine following others (as long as they do their job properly <= this is very important...).

Assuming you aren't granted a title rectifying that little clerical error :P

 

;)  Queen gets lonely without her King after all.

True, she doesn't seem the 'great leader' type, but she's very dutiful. She's the most badass sword of the Divine. And that's my guess: I think she joins the Inquisition because that was her duty. How and why, I don't have the slightest idea, just wild theories.

 

Cassandra and leadership can become an issue. Since I read Asunder, I've always wondered why Lambert was Lord Seeker instead of Cassandra. Shouldn't she have been a candidate, at least? Maybe she didn't want the position?

Lambert has a mostly unknown History, He could have been a titled hero as well for all we know.

Oh yeah. If she wants to make him King then she has the power to do that (though I think the nobility has a say in that as well)

 

But I won't expect all of that to happen. Cassandra doesn't seem the type to be concerned wether she is becoming Queen when there are veil tears everywhere. :P

I'm just pointing out that it would be neat to go from a rommance to marriage is all and it would be an inverse from the DAO and Dragon age 2 were we were romancing a warrior companion who was entitled, it would be a female companion in this instance.
