What options do you think we will be presented with after the dust settles and the Big Bad is dealt with?
Would your inquisitor be willing to relinquish power and live out the rest of his or her life on a farm à la Cincinnatus?
On a related note, I wonder if Bioware will allow you to continue playing once the main campaign is completed, similar to an Elder Scrolls game.
I definitely recall the devs saying that you would be able to carry on exploring after the main story is ended and presumably if there are any sub-quests not related to the main plot, then you can complete these as well. We had a similar sort of thing with ME2. Then if they release any DLC in the future, this will take place after the main story as well. So I'm thinking that you won't have to relinquish power and the game world will continue in whatever form you have made it.
Not sure tbh. I personally have a feeling that the ending will be a shot panning across the ocean and watching thousand Qunari ships heading right towards us.

It has been confirmed that you can keep playing after you completed the story.

Sweet! That was one of the things that bugged me about DA:O ... the sense of finality. Although I guess the DLC allowed you to go back and continue playing in a limited fashion.
more than likely the inquisition will continue to be a force in thedas and wont disappear. now the inquisitor might, like all the other heroes, but the inquisition wont just up and vanish. And more than likely it will lead into an even bigger conflict for the next game
Most likely the Inquisitor brings froth a second Templar Order...maybe.

Fo real! I keep thinking this as well. That has to be the main plot DA4! What Sten and the Arishok says makes it feel like so.
It would be kind of irresponsible to just up and leave post of High Inquisitor (or whatever) right when the crisis is over. The Inquisition would have to settle in the post-Breach world and find a purpose. It would be a bit chaotic to just suddenly disband the whole thing after taking over so much land and resources.
Possibly make it The New Templar Order as was said earlier.
Maybe slowly fade to just be some clandestine order like Cerberus or the Wardens, or slowly disappear entirely.
Guesses for possible outcomes for the Inquisition: Rule Orlais, Fade Away, New Templars, Lead Exalted March North (Tevinter or Qunari), Sacrificed For Inquisitor Ascension into a Fade Lord or Whatever, Eventually Destroyed by Nations (over time if not having a necessary purpose, who wants an independent, militant, and well armed faction in their lands?), Joins the Wardens, Becomes International Trade Guild, and I don't know what else to guess...
I will be very interested to see if the game world just continues on as it always has, like how Skyrim ended. There was no indication that the story even happened and nobody seemed to know or care who you were.
I'm hoping the world state will change to a certain degree upon completion of DAI. Even if it's just some dialogue changes or NPC greetings. Something to recognise what the Inquisition has done for the world, be it good or bad.
Ah, that's a relief. It's always frustrating how open-world games with lots of side-quests to do never actually give you a break in the main quest to do them. You always HAVE to prioritize the companion quests and minor heroics and gathering quests over hurrying to save the world if you want to do them at all. 
If you get to stay after the ending, you can prioritize the main quest realistically and then take your time and take care of all the minor stuff afterwards.
It seems the Inquisition is following not in the past Inquisition's footsteps, but the Wardens'. People serving a previous established power (Tevinter/Chantry) decide that the only way to stop the end of the world (Breach/Blight) is to found their own group (Grey Wardens/Inquisition), and fight their own way, because they have the only power able to stop that madness (Taint/Green Hand of Doom). They operate freely, bringing hope to the battlefield even if technically they are a rogue, unlawful party. They take keeps for themselves, they build armies and in the end they beat the Big Bad.
I hope the Inquisition goes on, even if the Inquisitor does the ultimate sacrifice (not another one, Maker please). As nice as having the Grey Wardens is to stop the Blights, Thedas definitely needs an international organization to take care of supernatural threats. Blood mages aside (that's a job for the Templars), our Warden and Hawke couldn't finish a quest without finding ancient conspiracies, haunted tombs, dangerous artifacts, powerful demons, etc. Who you gonna call?
Not sure tbh. I personally have a feeling that the ending will be a shot panning across the ocean and watching thousand Qunari ships heading right towards us.
YES PLEASE!
Even though there is one thing that would make Things even better: To side with them. I'm picturing the Inquisition turning on Orlais and the other Nations, razing them to the Ground, then the Inquisitor kneeling before the Arishok at the Shore and saying something like "Thedas is yours". or something. Well, I'll go off, dreaming about the Qun...
No way would my Inquisitor be interested in relinquishing power, He'd be all about making it clear the Inquisition is a power thats here to stay and hopefully by then I have a bunch of puppet states controlled by my mighty Inquisition.
then have an outro cinematic like this but with Qunari instead of Nilfgaardians http://youtu.be/UObX603ybiQ?t=1m50s

I've never played Skyrim, but I liked the way Morrowind continued after the end of the main campaign. NPC's would at least acknowlege the things that you had accomplished [.........spoiler........] (e.g. defeating Dagoth Ur, curing the blight), and the world physically changed in response to your actions (ash clouds disappear over Red Mountain).
Unless you play the game extremely conservatively, I can't really picture things returning to the status quo. Mages have had a taste of freedom, and they are not going to give it back without a fight. Similarly, the chantry has been decimated and will have a difficult time exerting influence over Thedas on a global scale.
The first inquistion disbanded and voluntarily ceded power to the Chantry, but it was more of a religious organization bent on hunting heritics and fighting mages. The second inquisition is whatever you make it.

The E3 conference really intrigued me. The commentor said that unlike being a Jedi the Inquisitor has the chance to establish an Order since s/hes the 1st to have the ability, etc.
What if one of the legacies will be establishing an Order that has the ability to close veil tears/ breaches? Assuming the glowy hand thing can be recreated.
Well, I assume that once the Big Bad is dealt with there won't be any further tears or breaches.
I think what you brought up is interesting, though. I like the idea of the Inquisition remaining an established power in Thedas, kind of serving as an arbiter vel sim.
To be honest it seems like the option at the end will be to expand the inquisition futher I mean I don't think the inquisition can just deal with the breach they will probably have the ability to crush any faction and they will become the new world government or chantry. Really it depends if you want the inquisition to be a safehaven for mages or templars or neither and push both out
