How much do you think Inquisition can change, reform and/or destroy Thedas and it's different factions during it's main task of closing fade tears and saving world (or after that). How much do you want to impact it?

 

For example do you think Inquisition can put stop at mage-templar war and maybe even end up freeing all the mages or reforming circle and templar order or maybe pull of tranquil solution on Thedas mages? What about chantry, grey wardens, civil war, possible war between Ferelden and Orlais, situation with city and dalish elves?

 

Personally I'd love if Inquisition had many impacts in Thedas society, depending who you side with, what values your Inquisition promotes and how well you perform in your quests. At least I'd like if Inquisition impacted on outcome of civil war and mage-templar war. After dealing with big bad I'd love if my Inquisition to stay as powerful organisation in the Thedas.

The grandness of the game implies that we'll have a major influence on how Thedas progress, but realistically we probably wont due to the impracticality of implementing that into future games. 

 

Maybe we will have a huge impact but in the next installment they'll just have a default setting once again for all players

I'd rather have a gigantic effect on the state of affairs in the world as Inquisitor. There really shouldn't be a Dragon Age game in the same series after this one, considering all the buildup. It's hell enough tracking data in two games but 3? I'm wagering this'll be the end of our Thedas adventures and we're gonna be sent off with a bang.

We will be able to resolve the mage/Templar war; a Dev said as much and seemed to suggest fairly early on in the game.   After that certain quests only become available according to which side you favoured.   

 

It seems likely that we will get involved in some way in the Orlesian Civil War.   To date we have been told we can stop an assassination attempt but not clear who this is directed at, who is behind it or whether you can opt to allow it go ahead.   No doubt all will become clearer in game.    There is the possibility we may be able to either broker a peace between the two factions or give one or other our support; again it seems that is something we will find out in the course of the game.

 

Beyond that is anyone's guess.    However, with the emphasis on the plight of the city elves in Masked Empire and the fact that many of the locations are in the Dales, I'm hoping we can do something lasting in this respect if we choose to do so.

 

I seem to also recall that it has been said that you can support the demons if you want to, in which case I assume Thedas dies; in which case don't complain if you choice isn't carried over to the next game since you obviously don't have a world to continue.

 

There are likely to be further titles in the series, whether full blown games or DLC, since we have been told not all the choices we enter in the Keep will necessarily be used in this game but have set the world up for the foreseeable future.

Bioware has already stated that they plan on making more for the series

What the other guy said, and also I love this world too much for it to go away. Also there are so many other possible routes they could go for future games.

My Tevinter lineaged necromancer will unite Thedas... hopefully

[Willowhugger]

I think the question you should be asking is NOT whether we impact Thedas or not.

 

But how much will we impact Thedas BY CHOICE.

 

And how much will we impact Thedas by plot.

[Icy Magebane]

I think we'll be limited more to small-scale changes than huge, sweeping ones.  Furthermore, I see the Inquisition more as international peacekeepers than a group capable of imposing their politics on existing nations and their armies.  So while we may be asked to step in as mediators in the ongoing Orlesian and Circle of Magi conflicts, our influence will end once we've helped once side or the other... that way, the individuals associated with those factions will be able to make decisions independent of us, which means Bioware will have less variables to account for in future titles.  That's my prediction, at least.

That seems to be the opposite of the way we're selling it as one of the interviews says the Inquisitor will include at least one mission where you assassinate, bribe, or discredit all of the candidates of the throne (one of the Free March cities I believe) but one the Inquisition can use as a puppet.

This is implied to just be one of a series of similar missions where you massively impact Thedan politics.

Which...surprised me, to say the least.

 

We also get to end the Mage-Templar war.

Well, alternatively, they could set the next game 10 years into the future and have most of those changes undone... I'm not saying you're wrong, I just think it would be a lot of work to create content for all of the possible world states that so much freedom would necessitate.  Even something simple like who becomes ruler of Orlais has the potential to generate two wildly different outcomes for DA4... this gets even more complicated when we consider how the two candidate would react to all of the other possible changes to Thedas.  At some point, the player's ability to influence the world must be limited, or Bioware will be forced to retcon the majority of our choices and go with a handful of possible world states at most.  Unless the next game take place in the far future, giving players so much control over Thedas could get messy.

[Willowhugger]

Yeah, that's what I meant choice vs. plot.

The Inquisitor might have a MASSIVE impact on Thedas.

OTOH, he might all have his choices end up at the same place next game.

[Medhia_Nox]

I can confidently guarantee that: 

- You will not decide how the end of the Mage/Templar conflict works out - Bioware will let us know in DA:4  Ending the conflict - and choosing who is in the Inquisition is not standing social policy for all of Thedas.

 

- You will not decide how the elven rebellion works out - Bioware will let us know eventually.

 

- You will not decide the fate of the Chantry - Bioware will let us know.

 

- You may be able to decide between Celene and Gaspard - but either both will be killed, or Bioware will let you know their canon in DA:4

 

- The choice to let the demons win will not be their canon and it will be simply available for player choice (though I "could" see how this canon would work - I do not believe that they would ever choose this - unless the next age is "Demon Age")

They've said to our face we'll end the conflict in the first act of the game and the winners will join the Inquisition permanently.

[Mistic]

I'm reasonably sure about what the Inquisitor's biggest impact will be: to resurrect an old international organization and to stop the end of the world.

 

I'm not trying to be clever; it's just that I think people tend to forget that the greatest achievements ever done by our characters are already written by the plot. The end of the Fifth Blight, stopping the Qunari invasion in Kirkwall, defeating the Elder One (probably). They change more Thedosian lives than any other deed in the game. No "Bioware canon" or "retcon", we see them, we play them in-game, yet it's the small choices we care about. Maybe because we feel they're ours.
