Let me put it this way if you know your Christianity and european history the inquisition was formed by the Church to hunt down and vanquish Heretics and enemies of the Church, but later it was used for one of the biggest genocides in human history, namley the witch hunting during the darkages. The inquisition itself was a way for the Church to demonstrate and spread the fear of its Power. And if the inquisition was involved in any way, innocent or guilty none were safe because the Church was never wrong when they got there extracted confessions. 

 

so what im hoping for here is that bioware really has done its research and not just taken the name inquistion from the history books without knowing the full meaning of what it really was.

 

So when we rule the inquisition i hope that bioware can with its capabilities show us  a fraction what the inquisition was during that period and why we should be happy for that is gone

While we liked the name because it fit and sounded good, I was told we extensively had focus groups and feedback from all over where basically the consensus was, at worst "I thing the title fits, but I could see how someone else could maybe take offense to it."  So we did do research to make sure people would be okay with the term.

 

 

As such, I'm also going to close the thread down because it's just going to spawn discussion about the Spanish Inquisition and that's just going to derail things.
