Maybe for you, you played wrong. Didn't absorb the Templar order like a good myn, Play your cards right and most of them will remain behind after the conflict (No matter who your divine is)

That just means the mages, the other army, goes free. After all is said and done. Orlais also composes most of the forces the Inquisition used in the wilds, not the Templars/Mages who are hardly what I'd call armies towards the end. And Leliana still uses the Inquisition, as does Cassandra and Vivienne, to force her policies. As does the new emperor/old empress of Orlais. 

 

You are wrong.
In my ending the Templar decided by unanimous decision to stay in the inquisition, Divine Leliana doesnt use the Inquisition, Celene need the inquisition to stay in power and the Inquisition have a army that rivals kingdoms.

So basically, Celene uses you to stay in power, but she's not using you so you're independent? I'm not sure I get what you're trying to say. Last I checked Celene is a noble, so that's still the nobility using you. If you're tying to say you somehow want to fight for the throne by choice, by all means, but don't pretend Celene isn't using you.

I think it's more that a lot of your troops want to stay with the Inquisition, a lot go home sure but the Inquisition is still incredibly powerful plus you have enough influence to change things in the direction you want.

I said you were wrong about the Inquisition power. You can have the entire Templar order in the Inquisition, pkus you can havê a aemy that rivals kingdoms, so how is this power borrowed?

And about Celene, she needs tour support to stay un the throne, if she lose the alliance she lise the throne.

[Br3admax]

I said the power was borrowed from somewhere else. Consider the vast majority of these forces aren't Templar related, no it's not wrong. They come from noble ties that Josephine established.

As for Celene, how does that change my point? She's still using you. The Inquisition doesn't need Celene. There's no obligation on your part to help get aside from noble obligation.

[Knight of Dane]

I see the Inquisition as the real life Teutonic Knights. They will have their own kingdom and eventually the Inquisitor will become a king. All my templars stayed with me and I have recruited a lot of people. 

Good comparison, that's what I see too. Some war table missions are getting land given directly to the Inquisition so maybe we could see a new open border around the areas where the Inquisition establish keeps. Southern Orlais and Western Ferelden.

The msjieity if the army was from noble ties, but the Inquisition army still strong enough to rival kingdoms.

The point is that you are the real power behind the throne, if she does not do what the inquisitor say, she will get assassinated by Gaspard or Briala, so you are using Celene too.

You are incorrect. The Inquisition's troops were its own. Orlais were allied and fought alongside Inquisition troops. But Cullen only commanded Inquisition troops which included Templars or mages. The epilogue says the Inquisition is only growing stronger and now has its own army, castle, agents, and diplomatic relationships. The question remains what will it do with all that power? 

[Cyberpunk]

That is likely to happen. They will keep expanding and maybe they will get into conflict with a nation. It really depends on what their missions is now that the threat is gone. Will they be like the Grey Wardens with a Kingdom? or will they be their own Kingdom? 

[Knight of Dane]

Maybe they will be involved in a Fereldan civil war? The Warden and Alistair will not live for more than 18 years, unless that cure is conveniently found, and Anora seems to be unable to produce an heir.

[Cyberpunk]

It would be great if Bioware gave us more details in the epilogue or through conversations. Probably an expansion will settle things. 

[Knight of Dane]

As long as they don't call it Dragon Age: Reconquista, I'm not renaming my fanfic.

I honestly felt like we weren't given enough in the way of epilogues. It feels like only certain things were picked out to tell us about. I would have loved it all the main choices had been shown- kind of like what they did at the end of Baldur's Gate 2 where they give you a long story to read that mentions your choices and love interest, etc..

[Jaulen]

I was wondering about the future for the Inquisition last night after finishing the game.

 

I have a puppet Queen on the Throne in Orlais.

A bloodthirsty Divine that dissolved the circles with ties too close to the Inquisition.

The Wardens split and Weisshaupt gone quiet.

The Seekers being rebuilt and reformed.

And a large Organization with lots of power and ties, armies, and gold.....and no threat to go after, but threats rising up against you. (As of right now there doesn't seem to be a power that could rival the Inquisition.....)

 

What are the threats to the Inqusition, how do they respond?  

I'm just a little afeared that my 'do-gooder follow my conscious' Inquisitor will be a victim of 'Absolute Power Corrupting'

[Swoopdogg]

It's very likely to become a new order, like the wardens, except dedicated to fighting demons and rogue blood mages. Not to be confused with Templar mage police, but just solely there to fight the bad guys I guess? Who knows

[Jaulen]

Thinking more, and having seen it upthread, I do like the idea that the Inquisition becomes a group dedicated to getting rid of red lyrium and demons still out and about.

[Tevinter Soldier]

overall let's try and work this out.

 

no matter your choices these are the outcomes.

 

Divine:

Vivenne: mages in cages, templars rebuilt under a tight leash.

Cass: circle and an independent college

lelinna: Independent Mage college .

[AtreiyaN7]

Well, I made Cass the Divine and we were friends, so I wasn't the Chantry's lapdog - friends yes, doing everything Cass wants...no. I believe it was made clear in my epilogue at least that the Inquisition was a force to be reckoned and that at that point, the Inquisition had its own supporters, its own army, political influence, money, and real power. Oh yeah, and we saved the world - that too.

 

Through conversational choices at least, my position is that as leader of the Inquisition, I felt that the organization would remain in place and try to change the world for the better, doing whatever needed to be done. I remember discussing this stuff with Cass and some other companions.

[goofyomnivore]

I could see the Inquisition turning into Dragon Age's Spectre program and the Divine/Grand Enchanter/Lord Seeker being the "council".

 

I wanted to put Leliana as the Divine, but she went on tilt for me; and I think no Circles is a bit dangerous. Vivienne was too into maintaining the status quo which imo would just lead to another rebellion. Cassandra seemed to be a happy medium, there will still be Circles and Templars but with reforms and more freedom for the mages. At least that is how it is "suppose" to turn out, but who knows the world just might go all to hell again lol.

That is what I was thinking too. It would take a major threat to become an enemy of the Inquisition. By the time I finished the game, I felt like the whole world was my ally.

[Monochrome Wench]

The game did make a point of asking you after this has ended, what will you do with the power you have gained. Commoners think I'm the herald, nobles fear me from my mastery of the game, the chantry is in my debt for supporting them, fixing their mess, the ruler of Orlais is only there because of me, Templars and Wardens were both saved from complete destruction by me. I'm a huge thorn in the side of the conventional power structures. The inquisition may have lost some amount of man power, but makes up a hell of a lot in credibility for doing what they said they were going to do.

[ShieldWarden]

I honestly think that the Inquisition will become the Grey Wardens of the wider world. Wardens are more worried about Blights and darkspawn, but the Inquisition could be so much more. Kind of like how Blackwall describes it early on. A Grey Warden is meant to serve the people. It's a life of sacrifice and selflessness. I think that those should be the ideals of the Inquisition. Especially after the Grey Wardens having been knocked down a couple pegs.

[sorentoft]

Personally I see the Inquisition as the Templar Order and the Grey Wardens combined. One huge ass organization dedicated to destroy all evil through soft words, a dagger in the dark or an iron fist. With Cassandra's seekers behind them, the support of the College, a leash on the Empress and the Divine being buddies with the inquisitor then nothing can really stand in the way of the Inquisition. Except maybe several darkspawn magisters and a couple of arch demons.

[Gamyu]

The Grey Wardens were loved, respected, and filled with legendary warriors during and right after the First Blight. They had a clear purpose, to sacrifice their lives to stop future Blights. Look at them now, barely about a thousand in numbers filled with above average warriors, some were thieves or criminals.. Even with two more Blights, most of Thedas try to not think of them since people want peace, not the constant fear of Blights or any problems.

With the threat of the Breach and Cory gone, it is only a matter of time Thedas views the Inquisition as how they are viewing Grey Wardens.
