Having a random para-military organisation with no clear objective or mandate hanging around doesn't seem like a good idea, no.
And from an out of universe perspective, if the Inquisition hangs around it means that the player's choices can't have any real effect on it.

I believe it's something like the 3rd Street Saints in the original Saint's Row. The Saints were a street gang created to rid the street of crime, but when that was accomplished, Julius saw that it had more potential to do harm than good.
All it takes is an off-screen assassination/coup and before we know it we're fighting the Inquisition as the main antagonist for Dragon Age 5.
I'd have a hard time believing a non-Inquisitor could disband the Inquisition, you're creating an international military/economic entity. Even after the rifts are all sealed you have all the keeps, soldiers, etc. You can't just walk up and say 'alright you lot, go home you'll get your check by months end'
I can understand the desire for options, but in reality I would see the need for the option.
Either I will be playing a 'good' inquisitor who is going to be building the Inquisition with a pretty solid code of conduct, morality, and appreciation for individual freedom into its charter, or I will be playing the 'evil' playthrough in which I probably am going to do it for power and the ability to control and shape the lives of everyone in my domain.
Either character probably wouldn't feel the need to disband the organization they have built, if they believed it fulfills the objects they have envisioned. Now if my 'good' characters end up having to do terrible things with this organization in order to 'save the world' then I would be all for an option to disband it afterward. In the grand scheme of things though, that doesn't leave open many expansion pack opportunities.
The ending is the Inquisition getting disbanded Berserk-style.
On topic, one of the things that bugged me about DA2 was how everyone splintered apart at the end. At least in DAO you could go cruise around and be awesome with Zevran and Sten for a couple years or so before Awakening kicked in (or however long that interval was).
I just prefer the idea that bonds of friendship and loyalty forged in extreme adversity endure, so it would nice to see the Inquisition stay together after the dust settles and we've made mincemeat of Cthulhu.
There's actually approximately no interval between Origins ending ending and Awakening, but I agree, my grop was but together by a shared threat, that doesn't mean once it's gone everyone packs up and leaves
That would be incredibly memorable if it's done half as well. If we can have that along with an actual victory state, then that's the very definition of bittersweet, I thinkThe ending is the Inquisition getting disbanded Berserk-style.
The previous inquisition became the templar order.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).
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.
Cassandra isn't fit to lead a conga line.
Best case scenario: Inquisitor dies at the end, and the Inquisition lives on.
No more "Will the Inquisitor be appearing in the next game?" scenarios that we've dealt with via the Warden and Hawke. It's clean, it's simple, and it's final. This would not prevent a post campaign save, such as in both previous titles, so that one could indeed continue on after the actual campaign is finished.
The devs have said you can play after the ending so I think the odds of the Inquisitor dying are very remote.
Also they've compared the founding of the inquisition to founding the Jedi Order, so I expect it will stay around. Though probably with a good bit of reorganization
Ofcourse the inquisition wont be disbanded, only reformed.
After the world is secure again they will become my personal "praetorian guard", in which my mage will rule all of Thedas with from his seat of power at Minrathous. More people will probably die from the unifying-thedas war after the breach, than under the DA:I game timeline itself. This because people will rather die than give up their independence. But they will all kneel to me in the end. All of them.

Perhaps you should give greater conscideration to one word.

Qunari name for gunpowder IIRC

Or at least it's equivalent, we haven't seen it, but everyone seems to act like it's rather more... intense.
Also, thanks for the alert, I've fixed my spelling.
