The game doesn't seem to have an option of crushing the Chantry.

 

I'm aware. This is merely asking the question if the option was there.

My cannon playthrough will be a Dalish Mage Inquisitor....so, kind of anti-chantry from the get-go. But I plan on playing as a Dalish who recognizes that the world does needs to be changed, but in a peaceful way. So I would say reform the Chantry, rather than dissolve it. 

[Force of the North]

Definitely reform, unless I am a Dwarf and then sod it and let it all burn.

Oh yeah if I'm playing a daliah it burns to the ground, I forgot to say.

This OP topic would contradict the background of the Inquisition.

Not really. Sure we are backed by the Chantry, but that doesn't stop us from turning on it when we get strong enough.

The developers have said, by the time the protagonist becomes the Inquisitor, the Inquisition is an independent organization, and not beholden to the Chantry of Andraste.

[Faerlyte]

I'd like the option to disappear into anonymity and be left alone by everyone. 

 

I really could care less about the Chantry. It would be nice if its presence in the game was more at the player's discretion, but I have no interest in reforming or dismantling it. From a personal standpoint, whenever I'm confronted with Chantry matters or people associated with it, I just want the option to say that I don't want anything to do with it and that's that. 

[Jedi Master of Orion]

That almost sounds like you'd prefer a different genre and franchise altogether, much less a different game.

Neither. Once The Inquisitor has settled the Mage revolt, he'll leave the Chantry to manage its own affairs. He has neither the time nor inclination to wade through the internal machinations of a thousand+ year old bureaucracy while there is a demon spewing hole torn in the sky.

I would probably kic the Chantry to the curb. I'm not a big fan of theocracies or of any organized religion having that much control over society and/or the military. Hey, if people want to worship Andraste or the Maker or elven gods or whatever else on their own, that's fine. I just don't want the Chantry controlling the fates of nations or people's lives after everything that's happened to date (you'll recall that things did not go so great in Kirkwall, and I'm not particularly keen on their treatment of mages in general).

[Maria Caliban]

As it says in the tittle. If your inquisitor has the option, do you plan to dismantle the Chantry in all aspects? Or will you try to reform what the Chantry stands for?
 
 
Do try to keep things civil.

I'll just keep the Chantry as-is. They've lost their Divine, but they can elect a new one. Otherwise, they're fine.

[Zerc]

Dismantle, I've no love for organized religion.

What Lobsel said.
 
The Inquisition is not backed by the Chantry. In fact, Cameron et al. have said that the Inquisitor is more like a "plucky upstart." 
 
There is a heavy Chantry presence in the Inquisition (Leliana and Cassandra), but the Inquisitor is not beholden to them.

Devs are just blowing smoke on you guys. Do you actually believe that chantry and divine wouldn't be pulling all the strings when half your team are chantry agents and operatives, and now we know you can't bring down the chantry? Dream on.

You didn't read the interview about the the cataclysm, the Chantry, and Cassandra I take it?

[Uccio]

I did, what does " plan B for the chantry" sound like? By Cassandra.

[Zen]

I totes plan on reforming it.

 

I'm a minarchist. I believe infrastructure has a place, just not a very large one. So I'd leave the Circle intact but alter their methods and release some control. Mostly having to do with fear tactics and how I think they heavily contribute to blood magic outbreaks.

[LobselVith8]

It was originally Divine Justinia V's idea, which is why the organization is named the Inquisition in the first place. It's why we see Leliana and Andrastian soldiers in Inquisition armor. It was the original plan, before the cataclysm took place, and lead to the schism between the Chantry and Cassandra, with the Inquisition filling in the power vacuum that ensues with the deaths that result from the cataclysm. It fits into the previous statements by Laidlaw and Darrah that the Inquisition is "in opposition" to the Chantry, and that the Inquisitor is not a "puppet of the church".

[Uccio]

Not being a puppet is a strong word considering Iq has two devout andrastian and chantry supporters right next to him. A right hand of divine and a enforcer. These people do not just drop their allegiance for a guy with green light in his hand.

Considering the Inquisitor is the one who determines the direction of the Inquisition, how resources will be allocated, and what groups to side with (with another interview with Lee referencing the player having the choice to side with either the mages or the templars), the advisers apparently fall in line behind the only person capable of closing the veil tears.

[Uccio]

And you don't think their intent is not to use iq to further chantry's goals? How long you think devout followers of the chantry will follow iq if he doesn't do what chantry wants?

[whogotsalami]

I'd like to reform it if that was an option

How do you know that they are devout followers of the Chantry? All we know is that they are devout Andrastians, that doesn't mean they like the Chantry. Leliana actually makes it clear in Origins that she doesn't have a high opinion of the Chantry and it's priesthood. Besides, Leliana and Cassandra are the left and right hand of Divine Justinia V, who, by all accounts, was very interested in reforming the Chantry herself. As such, it could be assumed that they are both in favour of a Chantry reform, and thus probably rather neutral on the whole Inquisition/Chantry relationship.
