In an ideal game, what would your Inquisitor's relationship to the Chantry be?

Obviously, we don't know what sort of decisions we'll be able to make with out Inquisitor and how we'll be able to control our relationship to the Chantry. However, in a scenario where you could decide how your character would react to the Chantry and its various subgroups then what would you do?

 

On my end, I want to be able to play a very religious mage who, nevertheless, hates the Chantry. Not necessarilly anyone in the group but despises the way Mages and Elves were treated under it. I was originally going to play a Elf Mage but that would make me Dalish and my original Warden was an Elf Circle mage.

 

So Human Elf-Sympathizer Mage it is.

 

I want the option to be able to call the Chantry out on their abuses of power and citizenry over the years while being very pro-social justice.

In short, I guess I intend to be the Mage Martin Luther.

 

How will I deal with the Templars and Seekers?

Which should be fun given I want to romance Cassandra.

Well, I have said that several times already - I'm going to play anti-Circle anti-Chantry human mage on my first run and I'm going to try and romance Cullen. Because  :P  and I really hope I can call out the Chantry on all the things, but in turn I want to be called out by other characters (Cullen, Cass, Leliana) when I say something very extreme. I liked the DA2 system, when with maxed out friendship/rivalry you can convince your companions to do anything (except several instances), but now I want something different. I want to see the consequences of my behaviour. I want to say something rude about the Chantry and lose their respect. Because some words can't be unspoken  :(

 

Back to the topic... she will hate the Templars and will remind Cullen every time that templars are the plague upon earth. Every. Breathing. Moment.

 

(How am I going to romance him? He will bash my head with the chair)

 

I would have liked her to talk with Divine Justina and learn that she sympathized the mages (not like Elthina did). But knowing the premise of the game, I don't think it'll be possible.

Either scourging them from the face of thedas as a dwarf or elf, or suborning them to my will and ruthlessly using them as a Kossith/Human. Hell, my one hopeless dream for DA:I Is that a femquisitor can be elected divine.

My qunari and human mage Inquisitors would not want to help the Chantry at all, and would try to weaken it's power. I would want to help reform the place if possible but if not my Inquisitors will deal with it accordingly even if it involves violence. I do think it would be fun to have an Anders moment and blow up something Chantry related so I'm hoping there's a similar over the top moment like that in the game.

With a Dwarven rogue who believes in the Stone and an atheist Vashoth warrior, I can't say. Neither character follows the Andrastian faith, so there wouldn't be a default interest in the organization in the way someone like Leliana or Sebastian would have;  I suppose it will depend on what makes sense in context of the story, since I'll have a better idea on how I want to handle both characters once I've completed Inquisition at least once.

 

My first run with a Dalish mage who follows the Creators is something I have a better grasp on; the character wouldn't want anything to do with the Chantry. From his perspective, after what happened to his ancestors and his homeland because of the Andrastian Chantry, his reaction to the Chantry of Andraste would be strongly negative. This isn't a group he would ally with or support by any measure. Lambert's Seekers and templars will be dealt with in the Mage-Templar War, given the threat the Templar Order poses to the People; no different than dispatching the Red Templars or the Venatori.

Non-existent.

 

I'll be playing as a Dalish mage. Ideally, they'd just leave her be.

My characters will try to help the Chantry from completely falling apart but at the same time try to influence changes for the better.

My main Inquisitor will be non-religious and treat the Chantry as a political organization she shares exactly one goal with: to get rid of the demon invasion. Similar to how the US and the USSR allied against the N*zis in WWII - allied by necessity, opposed in ideology. Within the constraints set by the bigger goal, she will do everything to undermine the Chantry's influence as long as that doesn't mean helping the qunari, which are quite a bit worse in her opinion. She will attempt to break the Chantry's lyrium monopoly, to uncover all its dirty secrets and to raid its secret library for the forbidden magical knowledge stored therein. And of course as a mage who resents the Circle system, she will fight any attempts to reinstate it, by force if necessary. Mages can do all this without being kept by their ideological enemies, thank you very much.

As a human I prefer to play as a zealot.  As a non-human, I try to avoid the Chantry as much as possible.  A mage could go either way.

See them as foolish , weak and ineffective organisation that need to be put down or at least cut down from power as they can handle it but also that im against shouldn't mean that im with mages or someone else.

 

I will be very disappointed if companion or advisor will betray me because of that and i can't counter that.

I'm not sure what you mean by "ideal" game.

 

Like, do you mean a personal favourite playthrough you'd consider your own headcanon?

 

Or how the Dragon Age game in question had set up the state of the Chantry as a starting point?

I have a Hawke who's a full-blown radical mage revolutionary, but even she doesn't think such a thing would be conducive to her goals. May I suggest raids on lyrium caravans and assassinations of particularly unlikeable templars instead? Oh, and think of plausible deniability, we still need the political alliance.

I assume that could be acceptable as well. I just got to the point dealing with the madness of the chantry and templars in Kirkwall I just wanna see them in chaos for a change.

Depends my Qunari Mage doesn't give a **** about the chantry but my Human Warrior is definitely a devout Andrastian (I know very unpopular)

who supports the chantry who even has authority over the chantry !

My Qunari mage doesn't' care about the Chantry and would quite happily see it toppled, but my human warrior would like to reform it as much as possible.

I've always had a neutral relationship with the Chantry.

My Warden was of the Circle but like Wynne, believed in the Chantry being helpful but flawed & only shows of mages controlling themselves & not the Circle was a step in showing the Chantry that mages could be more than just the stereotype. 

My Hawke had no hate for either the Circle or Chantry and helped both sides during her campaign. But she killed Anders and sided with the mages in the final fight because she followed what was right over obvious. 

 

So with my Inquisitor I will follow Flemeth's advice and keep my eyes open. Both the mages & templars are now at fault and knowing what's right is going to be harder to see than before.
