Plus, it doesn't take much skill to kill a bound and helpless person.

****, did you see the Inquisitor slitting the throat of a woman dressed like either a Grand Cleric or Divine?

[Milan92]

Actually, it was Leliana who did it, but the inquisitor ordered it.

 

I wonder what the hell that was about 

[Lulupab]

I always got the impression from Cass' dialogue with Varric in DA2 that the Chantry is no longer united across Thedas and there are rogue Chantry factions as well.

This probably. Though, I don't know if they are so much "rogue" as members who refuse to recognize the status of the Inquisitor. Or maybe they are rogue, I guess we won't know until the trailer is released.

Anyone planning on playing a Chantry-supporting Non-human Inquisitor? I know I am. Each of the backgrounds will have to be done differently, though.

 

Since the Dalish Inquisitor was raised in a culture that rejects Chantry teaching and in some ways goes the opposite direction, I think a Dalish Inquisitor has to convert over the course of the game, one way or another. That, or they simply respect the power and influence the Chantry has, and converts for the purpose of gaining that power, and has little use for the theology.

 

The surface dwarf is coming from a culture that leaves them quite open to both hearing the Chant and believing in it, since they do not revere the Stone on the surface(at least, not after a generation or two). So a Chant-spouting dwarf is possible.

 

The qunari Inquisitor is coming from a culture group that is Anti-Qun. Other than that, they don't seem to have a serious slant either way. But that's not to say they can't learn. Besides, what's the best way to deny the Qun? Side with their theological enemy. Go with the Imperial Chantry if you REALLY want to reject the Qunari. Course, then you're a heretic.

My dalish mage will view it as one of the Elven Gods, likely Mythal since we are in the Fade and according to what I know on the Dalish, they believe their gods live in the Fade or the Beyond as they call it. Mythral is the great protector in the elven religion. 

 

She might like Andraste, being that Andraste supported freeing the Dalish from tevinter Slavery but not the chantry. They declared an exalted march against the Dales in the past.

 

Plus after I play Navilia who is strongly pro-chantry, I want to play a character who is well not

[Exile Isan]

I plan on playing my Qunari as an Andrastian.

[BlueMagitek]

Ah yes, "the Chantry", the international organization promoting peace and some measure of equality across Thedas.  We have dismissed that claim.

[Apostate.]

I plan on playing my Qunari as an Andrastian.

Woah.

It was Leliana but still..

[Warden Commander Aeducan]

*snip*

I'm not going to lie, but I can imagine my Inquisitor saying something like this before Leliana kill her.

Use your aggressive feelings, girl. Let the hate flow through you.

Technically, they accomplished that. The Inquisition just rampantly hunted down mages. The Chantry thought mages deserved to live. As well as giving them an education. The Chantry eventually incorporated the Inquisition and channeled their mage hunting into something more productive -- protecting mages in the newly formed Circles.  This is the only way they could make everyone happy. Mages got to live and the Inquisition toned down under the auspices of the Chantry. Technically, this is the definition of peace. What's the alternative? Just let anyone showing signs of magic to be hunted down, confused, and left with gimp powers, and have a bunch of fanatics killing people on a whim?  And this system stood for centuries btw. Pretty good record. Most institutions fall apart much more quickly.

actually they hunted non-magi aswell. Everybody was fair game and then chantry brought in through their faith to andraste

[raging_monkey]

I thought they were Andrastian themselves (one of many Andrastian factions). But the Chantry came out on top eventually as the face of the Andrastian religions. I didn't know they hunted non-magi though. Good to know.

they were but they aligned with the chantry cause of similar ideals. The group senior members became seekers and the rest templars(lyrium training presumably came later or already had its unknown). It was know as yhe timeof the inquisition because the got everybody for X reason. It was a dark time for thedas

[Daerog]

Ya, at least Tevinter didn't have to deal with the old Inquisition so much. Tevinter cleaned house itself with the Transfiguration, no vigilante group required. Then established the Andrastian faith as the official state religion and became the first Exalted State, all this 100 years before Drakon formed the Andrastian/Orlesian Chantry.

 

Anyway...

 

The agents of chaos will know the Maker's wrath by the hands of a mage, and not just any mage, but the Herald of Andraste!

[Exile Isan]

Woah.

 

What? 

 

From the Dragon Age Inquisition website: 

 

"Followers of the strict religious philosophy of the Qun, the Qunari appeared like a tidal wave to the north of Thedas three hundred years ago. You are Tal-Vashoth, a Qunari who has rejected the Qun and never even lived in Qunari lands. You have earned a place within the Valo-kas mercenary company as its mage, possessing abilities that would have made you a pet slave among your own people, ignoring the fearful looks you receive from those around you. Most recently the company was sent to the Chantry conclave, hired swords meant to keep the peace—a task that has gone horribly wrong."

 

 

 

You don't think it's possible that she could have converted to Andrastism? Having never lived in qunari lands and seeing what her own people do to mages? I'd reject the Qun too.

Here is the chant of light verse for the day

 

Many are those who wander in sin,

Despairing that they are lost forever,

But the one who repents, who has faith

Unshaken by the darkness of the world,

And boasts not, nor gloats

Over the misfortunes of the weak, but takes delight

In the Maker's law and creations, she shall know

The peace of the Maker's benediction.

The Light shall lead her safely

Through the paths of this world, and into the next.

For she who trusts in the Maker, fire is her water.

As the moth sees light and goes toward flame,

She should see fire and go towards Light.

The Veil holds no uncertainty for her,

And she will know no fear of death, for the Maker

Shall be her beacon and her shield, her foundation and her sword.

Transfiguration: 10

I sincerely hope we can use our power and influence as the Inquisitor to curb some of the more extreme beliefs of the Chantry and hopefully reform it. That's my Human Male Inquisitor's view of them. It's impossible to ignore or get rid of it. It is powerful, popular and controls the lyrium trade. My plan is install a new Divine under my control and reform it to my liking. I plan on making it more Imperial. Blessed be the Prophetess and Her Herald.

If you're talking about the scene with a hooded man, and same scene Leliana slit someone's throat? It wasn't a cleric, it was the hooded bad guy's son. It's mentioned god... Way back during the E3 interview with Mike, a bald interviewer and the red bearded guy (sorry forget your name).

[Cypher0020]

I love the concept of the templars, etc.... haaaate how it's executed in game

 

Yes, mages ARE dangerous, things like demons, etc are a very real threat

 

The fanatasim just needs to be taken back

There's some new screenshots that were released from a new vid that's coming out soon that's what they're talking about.
