What we know is that during a piece summit, an explosion kills everyone in attendance except yourself giving you a unique ability to close the veil tears. This ability in and of itself does not qualify someone as a leader, maybe a high ranking tracker at best, but without the proper experience in leadership, i dont see how someone could be given control over an organization who answers to no one. This conclusion leaves me to believe that each race is an ambassador of some sort representing their nation or particular group of people due to their position of authority within that nation or group.

 

Examples:

Human-General representing Fereldan/ Mage may represent the Circle 

 

Dwarf-Noble representing Orzammar

 

Elf- Dalish hunter close to the Keeper/ Mage may be First to the Keeper

 

Qunari- qunari with leadership experience before leaving the Qun or just representing a Tal-Vashoth community, maybe even a mercenary group similar to Iron Bull.

 

 

What do you all think about this?

The conference was described as a peace meeting between the Chantry and the mages, so it doesn't seem other groups might be in.

[Malanek]

I don't know much about it. Does the incident occur in game before you become inquisitor? If so you may be granted leadership because you demonstrated ability rather than a rank before the game started.

[ArtemisMoons]

It's possible that our character wasn't at the summit itself, but traveling nearby? A human mage might have been at the summit, and maybe a warrior too. But an elf, their Dalish clan might have been near enough. As for the dwarf/qunari, I don't know. xD

[BabyFratelli]

They could be anything, really. I'm guessing they're not super important. Probably something non-descript like a guard, or maybe we get to choose why they were there (Guard/Thief/Assistant back stories?).

 

Shepard was just a regular soldier who showed lots of promise, so I don't see why our Inquisitor can't be.

Maybe the Inquisitor isn't part of the Inquisition until later in the game? I assume Cassandra and Varic are late to the meeting. Cassandra bringing Varic to explain what happened at Kirkwall/Hawke stuff. Cassandra insists you go with her to wherever until she knows what to do with you. You meet other powerful people along the way, and after a few plot events they deem you a worthy leader and the Inquisition is formed?

 

edit: As for before the event? No idea I kind of like the "from the fade" idea. Maybe you're a soul/spirit and your origin story is an even that happened many years ago when you were still part of the "natural" world. Or you could just be a simple guard, spy or apprentice to a powerful member of the summit.

Think that's a pretty good guess.

Sounds like the glowy hand thing is the main reason they're qualified, pretty easy to blackmail people with I imagine.

That would make sense but the problem is, the game really focuses on you being the leader, if it went this way it would take a little bit to get to that point. Plus till then why would anyone have any reason to follow you instead of say you following Cassandra

But as i said, that in itself doesnt make someone a leader, a means to close the veil tears

That's what I'm wondering, too.

 

It might be a bit like Alistair just following you for no reason at the beginning of DAO other than the fact that he doesn't like making decisions and you're the only option around.

[BabyFratelli]

From the most recent trailer it seemed like you and the group of people you're with re-establish the Inquisition. 

[Deflagratio]

I'm assuming your purpose at the summit is determined by your Race and Class. Sort of an "Origin" type deal.

 

As for why you're qualified? Same reason Shepard is qualified to be the first Human Spectre. Right place, right time. Or the best of a bad situation, depending on how your politics swing.

[Vandicus]

That makes one qualified to force other people to follow or obey them. That pretty much does the job if we look at history. I think it'd be great if we could screw up or otherwise be incompetent as the leader of the Inquisition.

[mupp3tz]

It could be that you are an already important delegate member of which ever group (I'm assuming this is dependent on race/class) to begin with in attendance at the summit. Or, again, maybe just the one who has the best chance (last witness, special abilities, etc) to solve the problem and that is deemed enough in re-establishing the Inquisition.. special snowflake and what not.

[SerCambria358]

You do but I dont think its a long process. It was said that the inquisition was already in the works or at least already being talked about in terms of bringing it back, the blast and you being the survivor is what pushes them to actually do it

Shepard had plenty of history leading and was a high ranking individual

Not at all, some random person having a unique ability doesnt give them the knowledge and experience necessary to lead and manage a militaristic organization. If i made you general of the US army because you had a unique ability to track down terrorists, you'd have no idea how to coordinate an operation let alone fight on the front lines, thats assuming you have no military experience, and if you do have military experience, that would support my point

It would be a little awkward from a gameplay perspective and you wouldn't want it to drag on too long but there are ways around that. You could make Cassandra and Varic not controllable party members in this part of the game. Or they could just force the player to accept that combat and explorations in this part is simply an abstraction and that Cassandra and Varic, although they follow the "players" commands, are not following the "players character". It could be reinforced in cutscenes and conversations by having Cassandra give all the orders, make all the decisions etc.

I figure the Inquisitor being the only one that can close the "breaches" is a pretty big deal. If the Inquisitor is a member of a specific political group such as the Dalish, Chantry, Mages or whatever. The other parties may be less inclined to pitch in, since they would not want their potential enemies having such a big bargaining chip over them. The Inquisition is a new entity that is created to stop the "breaches", so it is more of a neutral playing field for everyone. I see them as the  "new" Grey Wardens.

[The Elder King]

If, I recall, it was stated long time ago that the Inquisition is formed early on and that we're put in a leading position, and they talked a lot about the fact that the PC is the leader. I honestly doubt we'd join the Inquisition later in the game or that we won't be the leader at start.
