This is the order my blood mage will give after the fade threat:

Now think about it. Lets consider the scenario where your Inquisitor is a powerhungry, deceiving, manipulating and halfmad megalomanic with sociopathic malignant narcissistic attributes. You side with mages and harm the templar order as much as you can and because of the Inquisition you will probably have an enormous powerful military order filled with spies and mages. 

Not only that - your mage (Player character) in a scenario like this will probably be one of the most powerful mages in Thedas, one which could utterly destroy a Tevinter magister in a breath. Not that this would be needed - the Tevinter are perfect allies for such a takeover. Not to mention the perfect strategically laid locations via forts you will control througout the land.

Power corrupts. This doesent even need to be a mage! It could be a hero with good intentions thinking:

"If I united Thedas under one banner and made an empire, I could bring peace to Thedas for all time"

 

The point Im trying to make is... there is NO way we can just take for granted that the leader of the Inquisition will just end up saying "Ok guys Inquisition over, lets dispand and go home". In a bioware roleplaying game we cant just say "Being a super-moral and ultra-ethical saint is cannon!" can we?

[Icy Magebane]

Bioware will probably make the Inquisitor disappear under mysterious circumstances around the time that DA4 starts.

Except that we have post game, so probably not.

What does that have to do with DA4?  Didn't they say there would be a new protagonist every game?

[HK-90210]

Considering that the devs have described the basic plot concept for DA:I as "Instead of joining the Jedi Order, what if you were there when it started?", I doubt the Inquisition is going away anytime soon.

[Sir DeLoria]

Yeah, I can see my character being like yours only on the opposite side.

[Warden Commander Aeducan]

That's convenient isn't it? I'm pretty sure the Inquisition organization will continue to maintain order or do...inquisition things even after the event in DAI is over.

DA4 doesn't have to occur right after DAI ends.

[SomeoneStoleMyName]

Yeah it could easily go that way too

My point wasnt that it had to be evil. I just find it extremely unlikely that an order with such power and control, coupled with the fact your player character will basicly become a demi-god - will simply go "Saved the world good job people, now lets dispand"

[steelfire_dragon]

I too doubt that it will dispand.

 

If anything, the inquisition might end up as teh divine's secret investigating police force.....

 

investigate and if need be .. Eliminate with extreme prejudice .

 

we answer to liliana..... 

[90s Luke]

Of course the Inquisition won't just disband after the Breach is closed. Many organizations in real life continue to exist after they have completed their original goal (or just outlasted the original problem). They simply adapt and find a new purpose.

 

NATO still exists 20 years after the end of the Cold War, for instance.

 

Besides the Chantry and the Grey Wardens, the Inquisition (which the developers have said from the beginning is NOT really part of the Chantry) will likely be one of the only international organizations capable of preserving order throughout Thedas from here on out.

 

The organization's name might change in the future, though. However, it would likely continue to have the same resources as before.

 

The player cannot be a blood mage this time, by the way.

[SofaJockey]

Of course power corrupts, so lots of room for interesting future story...

There seems to be a rather large assumption that the Inquisition will retain its forces post Tear. If the Inquisitions troops are on-loan, say from the victor in the Orlesian Civil War, they're going to go home and be the Orlesian armed forces again after the crisis is resolved. I suspect most, if not all, the Inquisitions forces will be similarly temporary.

If that's the case, then the organization may continue to exist in name, but it will be a toothless shadow of its former strength.

That depends. I can see a large chunk of the forces being on loan from Orlais, but considering there might be a plot to help either Celene keep the throne or Gaspard take it... It's possible that the Inquisition would keep those forces or at least be able to call on them at any moment as a mark of gratitude from the ruler. A similar deal to what the Grey Wardens have, essentially.

 

Also, there will be a lot of people left with nothing because of the ravages of the mage/templar war and the Orlesian uprisings, so they might join the Inquisition in order to be able to provide for their families.

No, you aren't going to take over any country in some sort of juvenile power fantasy.

 

Yes, of course the Inquisition is going to stick around after the game. But it isn't going to be taking over any countries.

 

And lastly, being a "super-moral ultra-ethical saint" would not mean that you disbanded the Inquisition after the breach was closed. The world is probably going to be in a messed up state even after the breach is closed, so the Inquisition will be needed still.

[DavoRaydn]

The only goal of the Inquisition is to close the Tear and find the one(s) responsible. After that is done it has no purpose i guess. So your companions will go their own way (execpt maybe the LI) just like in DAO and DA2. The troops you gathered will probably go back to their original "owners" and the Inquisitor will probably have some choices of what he/she does next ( travel, go into politics, disappear)

 

Or maybe not and the Inquisition will remain a powerful organisation , who knows

That is not the inteded purpose of the Inquisition. The Inquisition was conceptualized by Justinia even BEFORE the Breach appeared. The Inquisition was meant to bring order to a world that was spiralling into chaos. That purpose will remain even after the Breach is closed.

[Xilizhra]

Except that there's no blood magic available for PC this time.

Unless that's what the necromancer specialization entails.

Or, perhaps, to facilitate change in a healthy way.

[EmperorSahlertz]

Change can be ordered. It is chaotic change that has to be prevented (at least as the intended purpose).

[Roamingmachine]

Got a flashback to this:


Still the only game where I can't bring myself to play the 'evil' path. Anyway, it all would depend on what your personal power base would be at the end. If the troops are loyal, by whatever means, to you personally then the world is your oyster. But seeing how BW treats the protagonists of dragon age titles, the inquisitor will propably vanish in a puff of smoke :/

[renfrees]

Unless that's what the necromancer specialization entails.

If I'm not wrong, devs stated that plausible implementation of blood magic isn't worth the hassle. They'd have to create extra dialogue/choice/reaction route for at least every plot-related quest, and all of that for 1 specialization.

[Elite Midget]

I'm sure the Inquisition will end up establishing something "more" and become very independent by the time DA:I is over with the Inquisitor remaining to rule as Head of that new Order. I don't see them vanishing like the Warden and Hawke did.
