I'm more surprised there isn't a topic going right now about two of our followers coming from a chantry background, and Cassandra who seems to help found the organization also having a chantry background.  Of course, as I figured by the symbol itself, the Inquisition does come kind of from a chantry background as Cameron Lee pointed out when it was talked as the chantry's plan B or something like that.

 

The symbol is interesting, because it actually predates the Chantry. The original Inquisition became the Templars and Seekers when it merged with the Chantry, and so the Inquisition's symbol of a sword through an eye with a sun was split up to form the Templar and Seeker insignias. 

 

In a sense we're just relaunching an Inquisition that was first around a thousand years earlier, using the same name and symbol. I don't think it implies a connection with the Chantry, but it's a perfect excuse to have us dig up old Inquisition fortresses or find ancient sites that are connected with the original organisation.

 

As for Leliana/Cullen/Cass, I think (as someone said above) the trailer makes it pretty clear - their loyalty is to the Inquisition now. If not by the start of the game, then certainly by the end of it.

 

(After all, nobody freaks out about Alistair's connection to the Templars, do they? People can and do change allegiances, and maybe even change their viewpoints.)

I apologize if I'm repeating what has already been posted.  I don't have time to read the entire thread (and am supposed to be working).  In the Ausgamers.com feature article, Cameron Lee confirmed that there are three aspects of the Inquisition: military, espionage and politics/commerce and that each one would be headed by an individual.  He confirmed Leliana as heading the espionage aspect.  I'm assuming Cullen is military and the unnamed "scribe" is for politics/commerce.

Yes, Cullen is going to be head adviser in military affairs and Scribbles will be for commerce/politics.

I'm thinking more along the lines of Cass using us as a tool after she finds us at the temple.  Then say around the first major mission we prove ourselves and she then decides we should lead and not her.

We have literally no evidence that this is the case, and it feels like you're deliberately seeing this in the most pessimistic way possible.

 

The Inquisition is not a figurehead. We're literally the only person in Thedas who can close the tears, and that makes us enormously influential. The devs have said multiple times that we have operational command of the Inquisition, as well as deciding its tactics and leading the charge into battle and to investigate new areas.

 

Believing that the organisation is compromised by a vast Chantry conspiracy is absurd. The game is bending over backwards to give you power and agency.

 

Well but it is truth as far we have 2 out 3 leaders of certain areas in Inquisition who are pro-chantry leliana is leader of spies , cullen is military leader and then we have cassandra as head/founder of oragnization as far somehow i don't see that inq have reason to have power or any power that inq handles in that organization...

 

As i said i don't see inq having any power as far well perhaps illusions of that we can choose where we send troops and thats all i can see for now somehow power of closing veil hardly means actual leadership.Organization as far smeels with strongly pro-chantry doctrine not mention background of previous Inquisition.

 

Well i will see how that will be ultimately when i will play in game but for now it smeels very badly as for organization who can be neutral or choose who it will support.

The Inquisition symbol is deeply Andrastean, though not inherently Chantry.

 

I'm probably more concerned that people like Cassandra and Leliana will turn into pushovers than that they'll be able to dictate policy.  Having them defer to some psycho PC who hates everything they stand for just because he's got glowy hands/he's the PC would be bad.

That is an entirely plausible scenario and a classical setup for games. It also makes a lot more sense than the alternative. Why would Cassandra put you, a complete stranger, in cahrge of an organization SHE was charged with creating, just ebcause you can survive some magical event? It would make more sense that you are initially picked up as an asset, and later proves your leadership capabilities in a situation where Cassandra falters.

 

Time will tell how it goes down.

I hope it kind of goes like this, and I can't wait to see Cass grows as she comes to respect your leadership.

Yeah that have sense especially if she hates everything about you and what you going for

She wasn't charged in creating it...she came up with the loophole and the idea for it because she knows nobody else will.

That would make sense. I wonder if the protagonist was a leader before the cataclysm, like a guiding voice among the Vashoth, a commander of the dwarves, or the Keeper of a Dalish tribe.

I hope they leave the backstory vague.

Yeah this. I'm hcing my PCs as  20 - 25ish and a 20-25ish year old guiding voice among the Vasoth is laughable. Too young.

I guess technically she wasn't charged with it, but she knew Justinia was contemplating reestablishing the Inquisition, and I think it is a safe assumption to say that this task would have befallen Cassandra and Lelianna, the Right and Left hand of the Divine.
