*This thread is operating under the assumption that the Inquisition is not going to be disbanded at the end of DA:I by default.

This is not only very possible, but I would say highly likely, due to the nature of contained storytelling in the series.

 

 

But would anyone else appreciate the option of disbanding the Inquisition once we've achieved "Mission Accomplished?" If the world is in a relatively stable state afterwards and the Fade tears are dealt with, I honestly think the Inquisition has the potential to do more harm than good.
 

I don't recall this having really been discussed before, so... would you appreciate this option? Why or why not?

[Puppy Love]

I can see it, but it depends really on how you build you inquisition.  Depending on what you built it to be, it can be either a force for good or ill.

 

Only argument I really have against it is, due to all this catastrophe the area will be left in a very vulnerable position.  With the Qunari waiting for the right opportunity to strike, I'm not sure dismantling the only strong organize military force is the best idea.

[TheEgoRaptor]

Nah, the World will still need guidance after the events of Inquisition, or so I would think. Who better to lead the way to a better world than the organisation who saved it?

[Maria Caliban]

No, I wouldn't.

That means you can't tell any more stories about the Inquisition or featuring its agents in games after DA:I. The Inquisition is an orginization that can show up all the time to do a bunch of different things, unlike the Wardens who should only be around for Blight and darkspawn related situations.

It also means that the Inquisition can't, going forward, make an impact on the world. They can't tell the story of how the Inquisition helps the Dalish maintain a homeland, helps defend against the qunari, or takes over safeguarding the Circles because the Inquisition may now not even exist.

I like the idea of the Inquisition being a permanent feature.  I like the idea of 3 major powers in Thedas politics.  Without them it would really just be just Templars and Mages.  The Chantry's power-base were the Templars, and without them they're completely neutered, so I don't count 'Chantry' as a major power anymore.

 

Coming from the perspective of American politics, a two-party system is awful.  Having a third provides a "checks & balances" function on the other two.

 

As an aside, I really hope there is more than just a binary solution to the Templar/Mage war.  I'd rather not have either side outright defeat the other.

The Inquisition will wind up being what you make it (within the confines of the game, of course), so if you do your job correctly ... will it need disbanding and what purpose would it serve to disband it? I can see the fear that you've built something that will only decay into corruption over time, but sometimes, removing a force that is providing stability will only open a void that will beg to be filled by the next petty strongman who comes along, Will that force be better or worse than your Inquisition?

 

I guess ultimately, do you have any faith in what you will be allowed to build?

Assuming you're not dead at the end of it.

Or the next best thing, like trapped in the Fade (even as a god). Or you were dead all along and a spirit was keeping you alive or something.

I mean, if BioWare wants to keep making Dragon Age games, they'll have to control the endings somehow.

Unless they want to set a future game in a different setting like Tevinter, or wipe out the inquisition, or set it several decades in the future with most of our loyal drones all dead and corpsified.

I'm going into this game without the belief that the Inquisitor will survive, I would very much like him/her to but again, I'm not so sure. That is why I only mentioned the Organisation as a whole. If death is the final outcome for the Inquisitor my head cannon would like to think that I made a difference on Cassandra's cold and tactical personality so that she become fit to lead such a mighty power and with Varric at her side for comic relief and his sparkling chest hair, the Inquisition should be fine.

Well coming from the perspective of  British politics having a 3rd opposition isn'ta so great either. the 3rd party just copies the what they assume is least annoying parts of the other two parties and everybody else gets bored votes/supports the extremists in the local elections which causes those in charge to cack themselves because now there losing support and people are eating red rocks or summoning demons

[Samahl]

The only people I can see wanting to disband the Inquisition are maybe Issala and Meraad. The others will want to keep it going to protect their interests.

[HiroVoid]

The ending is the Inquisition getting disbanded Berserk-style.

[TheJediSaint]

The ending is the Inquisition getting disbanded Berserk-style.

How, that would be both heartbreaking and glorious at the same time.

[Landamskarn]

I love democracy.  I love Thedas.

 

The power you give me I will lay down when this crisis has abated.

[CrazyGobstopper]

No. Thedas is a mess, and I just... need to rule it.

 

Assuming you're not dead at the end of it.

It seems unlikely, since BioWare has stated that we will be able to continue exploring the world and taking on quests once we've completed the main story.

[ev76]

After the breach has been dealt with I wonder if the kings or queens of orlais and ferelden won't make you disband the inquisition.
Or maybe it goes back to being Templars and seekers. One last thought the inquisition after the major final battle is so depleted that the kings or queens of the lands we are occupying deal with us ala, knights Templars.

[MetalGear312]

I wouldn't do it, but the option should be there for those who want to.

[Ferico21]

Or you were dead all along and a spirit was keeping you alive or something.
 

I'm gonna bet my money on this being one of the actual endings.

[Marshal Moriarty]

I just think that Inquisition is such a loaded word, as is Inquisitor. They're making a big thing about you being able to shape it how you want, but I'm having a hard time picturing an organization called The Inquisition continuing to exist as anything like a benevolent institution.

 

Basically, I'll believe that the Inquisition is your organization and adopts your values when I see it for myself. It wouldn't surprise at all to find out halfway through that its actually being backed and funded by some kind of Cerberus/Illuminati style group, and you're just the unwitting face etc etc.

[Puppy Love]

I admit not being a fan of the name and title myself.  The word comes with too much negative baggage in my book.

 

But, is a different world, so if I have my say it'll be a better organization.

 

...  well unless doing my screw the world play through, then it'll be as terrible and horrifying as I can make it.

I'm more curious about what would happen to the inquisitor if we did/didn't disband the inquisition. Unlike the warden we are the head of the inquisition and in wonder if we could be the first case of a non disappearing protagonist in dragon age since we have such a seat of power. Then again they could just make us say "now I must go" and let them disappear since they did their mission. If the option is available I would not disband the inquisition and I would stay as head of the order. Also curious to see if companions stay members of the inquisition post DAI

If future games take place outside of Ferelden, Orlais, and the Dales, then we might simply hear about the Inquisition. It would avoid the issue of contradicting previous events and allow the story to move forward with brand new characters.

[Grayvisions]

There have been Inquisitions/Inquisitors in the past and, no, they didn't stick around forever as Inquisitors (though at least one split off into a separate faction, if I remember correctly). 

 

Considering your allies in this game all have their own 'things' going on, I doubt they'd stick around just to hang, once everything is said and done. Vivienne has part of a court, Cassandra's got her ties to whats-her-face-holy-chick, Leliana's chances of surviving at all seem pretty slim considering her attitude (seems a bit kamikaze this time around). The Inquisition might last beyond the game as a kind of institution, but it's unlikely to exist in the same state post-game as it does during it. Just IMO

[TheExtreamH]

My thoughts are, Since we have the choice to bring the end of the world or save it. I see the End option being the Inquisitor turning his/her back on the Inquisition, to bring its destruction.

 

But if that's not the case i would like a DLC where we have the choice for the Inquisitor to retire or continue the Inquisition after everything has been done and dusted. A nice way the end the Inquisitors story. 

[Warden Inquisitor]

It wouldn't be wise to have an organisation that saves the world to just simply fade away until a similar event happens again. I think the Inquisition could be a Continental Forces that each nation funds to protect the continent from outside forces.
