How much of the Inquisition is around at the end is actually going to depend on your actions.   If you are a power crazed tyrant, you are probably going to be in that situation of having only one loyal companion left.    Of course if you are an intelligent power crazed tyrant you won't let people see the real you while building that power base but at some point you are going to reveal yourself.   Then I suppose it is down to how much people outside the Inquisition think it is in their interests to support you.   Whilst it will have secular power of sorts, really it is more like a pan-Thedas police force.    I don't think individual rulers would surrender their power to you and there are enough alternative organisations that would assist them in taking you down if you got above yourself.   Once the breach is closed, you have really lost your main hold over them.

[Sir DeLoria]

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"

I agree, an organisation of that size and importance wouldn't just abandon shop over night.

I like your Four Kings avi btw, they were such a pain on NG+

[ManOfSteel]

Like the Grey Wardens, I fully expect the Inquisition to play a role in future games. Whether or not the Inquisitor is part of it will be interesting to see.

[Maria Caliban]

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?

We're not going to have the choice to disband the Inquisition.

Where in the world did you get that idea from?

Who will your Inquisitor be killing off at the end of the game? You realize that much of main game is fighting people who are against the Inquisition. At the end, you'll have solidified power and an 'Order 66' would just be slaughtering your own people and allies.

People tend to ignore history when it comes to such things but i will point out this.

 

Rapidly growing Private Militant orders that formed in times of chaos rarely outlived their usefulness.

 

It isn't so much a case as the OP described as "putting down the sword" its more akin to that being the only possible outcome for survival, After all whom recalls the fate of the Knight's Templar? The Sarasin Jihadists, I could name many groups over the era's of our own history that were raised to power, came to promience and well, and then were obliterated the moment they ceased being worth more then the effort to destroy them.

 

After Crisis? You don't need the big independent mercenary army spreading across Thedas, its far simpler to outlaw the group, forbid trading with it, and find membership of it as a crime. And then? It doesn't matter how followers you have, or how much influence or coin you command, because Let's face, in the games of nation state's a mercenary army cannot compete with a national military.

When you have no enemies left, it's high time to find/invent new ones.

[Heimdall]

I'm of the opinion that the Inquisition will persist through the future, and when we head off to Tevinter for DA4, we'll be going as a junior member of the Inquisition looking to expand the reach of the organization.  (Hence allowing us to repeat the organization building mechanics of DAI, commanding an order or at least a branch of one rather than returning to the solo adventurer route)

[TK514]

To clarify my earlier, I don't think the Inquisition will cease to exist as an organization, I just don't think it will have access to the same scale of resources as it did during the crisis.  I doubt the governments of Thedas are going to be keen on suffering two international crisis response organizations.

 

Orlais is going to want its army back, for example.  It's probably going to want some of those keeps we took over and restored as well (and if they're garrisoned by Orlesian troops we borrowed, there won't be a lot we can do about it), though I suspect we'll keep Skyhold regardless of any other concessions.  If anyone were going to stay on full time, I would expect it to be the remnants of the Templars/Mages, and potentially any elves that we recruit.

 

I believe the post-Tear Inquisition will be a much smaller, more diplomatic organization rather than a military or economic powerhouse.

[Vit246]

The Inquisition should inherit the combined roles of the Seekers and the Templars.

[Basement Cat]

The Inquisition should inherit the combined roles of the Seekers and the Templars.

That's pretty much what they were to start with before splitting and what they will be in the game.

[Vroom Vroom]

I believe that the Inquisition will become its own order, one of its new goals could be keeping peace between the Templars and Mages. In fact, didn't the first inquisition turn into the Templar Order? 

[frylock23]

What if the world you build this game will be the default beginning state for the next? And you next protagonist has to operate in a world that that your evil Quizzy builds? It seems to me that more than anything Thedas the recurring character here and with the Keep, it's your world state they may be looking at as your unique "story" rather than your individual PC.

 

So, just think about what sort of Inquisition your PC will build, and then ask yourself how much fun your next PCs will have trying to accomplish their goals and tell their stories in it.

 

I could be wrong, but wouldn't it be awesome if I'm right?

@Master Warder The Knights Templar didn't outlive their usefullness, they just had too much money and power. And if the church is trying to eliminate you, there's nothing you can do but accept it(at least back then).

[cjones91]

Actually the reason the Knights Templar were wiped out is because the king was broke and he decided they would make a good fall group.The money was only part of it.

The first Inquisition evolved into both the Seekers of Truth and the Templar Order.

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?

 

doesn't the Inquisition serve the Orleasian Crown? i was lead to believe that while we are incharge of the inquisition our Inquisition is still a servant of the Empress.

[ISpeakTheTruth]

My mage Inquisitor does has aspirations once the Fade threat has been neutralized to maintain the Inquisition and use it as a way to bring the other nations back together and shift some of their cultural belief systems when it comes to mages.

Warden possessed by Gaxkang, Hawke possessed by Xebenkeck and Inquiz possessed by Imshael confirmed for DA4

[BlueFlame527]

I would like it if the Inquisitor remained the leader after the events of the game. That will at least provide a way for him/her to appear in the games without making a personal appearance. One thing he/she could do is operate through the agents. Also would break the trend of having to make the PC disappear without too many problems. On that note I hope there is a plot reason as to why they (Warden and Hawke) disappeared and not because they felt like getting away from everything or just disappearing for the sake of disappearing.

[Pierce Miller]

I don't want another disappearing act from the Inquisitor, that would just annoy me a bit. Mainly because I'm hoping we might find out what happened in the new game.

[Dabrikishaw]

Eh, I expect the Inquisition to be absorbed into the Chantry.

[Master Warder Z_]

Add in that massively knightly orders ceased being effective assets after the end of the major crusader era and you have a army that no longer has a enemy to fight, Seriously, look back and it comes about to where we stand now, All these anti communist groups that were funded to fight against the soviets, being demolished because they aren't needed anymore.

 

The Inquisition will suffer the same, i believe so anyway.

The player character in Dragon Age 4 shall be known as the Exorcist. 

[SirGladiator]

I would presume that the Inquisition will be living on well after DAI, into DA4 and beyond.  Whether our future characters will be directly working for them or not, the organization itself will be out there as a major world institution, like the Jedi order.  Perhaps being a member of the Inquisition, like becoming a Jedi, will be something future characters would aspire to become, as a stepping stone to even greater accomplishments.  Or perhaps we'll simply help them out in other ways.  But it seems to be a permanent and extremely important part of the world, and we'll be shaping it however we see fit.  With great power comes great responsibility .

I would like them to still be around, but appearances to be rare, like one or two members of the Inquisition per installment. My reasoning for this is that I want future Dragon Age titles to take place in new areas like Tevinter and Antiva. I suppose the Inquisition could be attempting to expand and thus appearances in Tevinter and Antiva would make sense.
