if they did something like that, inquisition turning sith w/o me to RP it with madman's glee, i'd seriously flip... well, even more tables

[Suledin]

I don't really like the idea of the Inquisition becoming evil and s***. I'd rather see the Inquisition as a great organization to protect the whole Thedas from darkness in any form or war threat (A Qunari invasion in the future?) that could stand against anything with its power we've built. Both Inquisitions the old one and the current one have one purpose and that's protecting people. 

As for the Well of Sorrows...That's a tricky one. The voices can be useful to do right things. However Mythal wants a reckoning that will shake the heaven aka justice for her? She could use the Inquisitor for her own purposes (had he/she drunk from the Well). 

[Gervaise]

I'm rather hopeful that as the next game has been hinted as being set in northern Thedas the Inquisition will simply be in the background.   We may run into Inquisition agents and have references to our Inquisitor but that will be it.   After all whilst we have had dealings with Tevinter/The Qun/Nevarra/Antiva, etc, at the war table, we have not been able to make the same impact that we did in Orlais (actually deciding who rules) or over the Orlesian Chantry.    Dorian says that Tevinter in particularly would regard the title Herald of Andraste as suggesting we are too cosy with the southern Chantry, so whilst my Inquisitor has been building bridges and would really welcome an invitation to visit Tevinter and help track down outstanding Venatori cells/investigate blood magic abuse, I know that this is not likely to happen.

 

After building up my organisation so carefully and setting in motion certain politically significant changes, I feel my Inquisitor is going to have their work cut out simply ensuring these do not unravel now the immediate threat is gone.      I really wouldn't appreciate the writers doing what they did after Origins and back peddling on the concessions my Warden won for whatever cause they supported.     I variously had a new autonomous Dalish region, an elf on the ruling council in Denerim, an mage/elf with land and title in the south of Ferelden, besides being a close confident of the monarch but on the whole these disappeared over the next ten years.    The only one that seems partially to have been honoured was the one in respect of mages, since the monarch does come good and give sanctuary to the mage rebellion.

 

My Inquisitors are well aware of the potential abuse of power but do not shy away from using it if it helps change the former status quo, which let's face it was pretty bad all round unless you happened to be born as nobility.    Once my Inquisitor is dead, then by all means suggest that the organisation they built gradually becomes corrupt, although I would like to think they would do their best to ensure they had a like minded successor nominated to try and prevent that from happening.   However, we seem to have fully explored the theme of sudden death of an influential leader and melt down of organisations associated with them, so it would really be nice to explore some new theme.

It could be interesting, but I doubt it would fit most Inquisitors. If the Inquisitor dies or "vanishes", I could see it happening depending on who'd become leader. The only other explanation would be mind control by Mythal, but I can't see that going over well with the players either and it could only happen if the Inquisitor drank from the well.

The GWs were never - aside from Alistair's fantasy and their good propaganda among non-GWs - meant to be heroes. 

Fair enough however i believe that they were not meant to be utterly stupid as well, in DAI they act like  fools due to bad writing.

Well idk about the Inquisition turning evil, but I most certainly see the IQ dying in the next game because the Warden has the potential to be dead, and now so does Hawke, so with whatever new protag we play as in da4, we will have the option of saving or forfeiting the IQ's life for the greater good. I hope they just disband the Inquisition, but if they do turn it evil, I hope we get the chance to come in and kill all the companions and the IQ, and the requisition officer.

I really don't want that to happen. At least not right away, considering I worked hard on making the Inquisition the powerhouse that it is I wouldn't want to see it get corrupted so easily. 

[uzivatel]

Didnt they already do that with Wardens? and to an extend with Hawke?

[Jaison1986]

I think the Inquisition could go evil after the Inquisitor leave their position, be it by death or retirement. Personally, I would like to see the Inquisition continuing to exist, rather then disbanding once the job is done. Then they could become some sort of council ala Mass effect. No actual kingdom under their rule, but they help to keep stability and preventing groups or even nations from abusing their powers.

The United Nations of Thedas? Mmm I don't know, Quizzy has a set a precedent for favoritism and religious discrimination.

[SomeoneStoleMyName]

The envy demon's vision of the Inquisition was EXACTLY what I wanted to do with the inquisition. So I cringed in pain when I had to select options like "NO, this will never happen!" and such. Completely ruined the roleplaying experience for me. 

A part of me just wanted to die on purpose against the envy demon to have that as the personal cannon since the game does not allow you to RP a darker inquisitor / Inquisition.

I don't see the Inquisitor becoming a big bad, but the inquisition?  Look at some of the players...Vivienne?  If Leliana becomes Divine, do you really think she's just going to sit and smile about it?  Or do something to put herself in a position of power?  Or if SHE becomes Divine?  Yeah, she'll want to assert her authority.  The Qunari aren't just going to sit idle either.  The Inquisition is a threat.  Plus, they were able to sneak people in before...right?  Everyone is going to try and play the Inquisition to suit their needs.  However, as we've seen in many different media, sometimes, the best hero?  A martyr.  Morrigan spelled it out at the end.  A target.  If DA4 jumps ahead a few years (maybe 5 to 10 years), we could see a radically different Inquisition under a very different Inquisitor.  Also, there could be a new Divine, and lovely statues of a very Human Female Warrior (maybe Templar) Inquisitor that would suit many Orlesians or Andrastians.  The band of misfits?  Watch them get erased from the books.  Cassandra, Leliana, Vivienne, Cullen, Josephine, and maybe Varric might survive retellings (only because Varric was behind them), but Bull?  Sera? Dorian?  Or Cole?  Those wouldn't suit the narrative of many of the groups in Thedas.  

 

I do see a possible reformed Grey Wardens in the future.  Inspired by the loss of whoever fell in the Veil.  I see Ferelden surviving.   Probably in dire need of an heir.  I could see Orlais in serious trouble if the Inquisition is involved in an internal power struggle.  However, I'm looking to the DLC for clues as to what our next serious rival will be.  Awakening gave us Justice/Vengeance (which while was not the actual Big Bad, he was instrumental in bringing about the disaster).  Legacy gave us Coryphenuts (Sera inspired...I'm shocked she didn't just use that).  With a Darkspawn DLC POSSIBLY in the works, could we see another Ancient Magister rise to give us a look at the next horror that Thedas will experience?  Who knows...but that's where I'd look first...

 

 

 

The United Nations of Thedas? Mmm I don't know, Quizzy has a set a precedent for favoritism and religious discrimination.

 

And we all know that doing that NEVER comes back to bite you on the bum, does it?  Heh, wouldn't that be funny if that DOES show up in a DLC or DA4?  I'm certain that the elves (in the possible near future) might have something to say about the Chantry.  Something that might 'shake the very heavens'?  Considering what the new DLC has revealed...that favoritism and discrimination might just be what is needed to set off the powder keg...

Dear and fluffy LORD, looking at the overwhelming number of possible epilogues has my head spinning. I do not envy the writers who will be tasked with fleshing out these various world states.

You ever think they bit off more than they could chew?

You ever think they bit off more than they could chew?

 

In DAI, we never revisit most of the places from DAO and DA2, like the Circle Tower in Ferelden, the Brecilian Forest, Orzammar, Kirkwall... except for Redcliffe and nods to some of those areas at the war table, it was handled with broad strokes (we'll see about DLC). With fans wanting to set the next game somewhere new, like Tevinter, it might happen again. To revisit the same places in DAI and reflect the decisions the Inquisitor made would require some time and effort to keep it under tight control.

 

So to answer your question, it was a very big bite, and they may or may not choose to chew it. lol

I headcanoned it anyway.

It is something to consider. They do go on to mention that we have many enemies and are the big force of power in the world at the end. So, who knows- we ourselves could actually become the bad guy in the next game and that would be quite interesting. 

[Bunny]

Or the Inquisition's manpower and resources get stretched too thin trying to do too many things that should be left to individual nations.

[damain56]

Unlike the fools that want to ally with Corypheus this idea actually makes a lot of sense. A power obsessed Inquisitor fits within the premise of the story line.This could be doable in a DLC if there was sufficient demand for it. History is full of this happening.

I like to think its a consequence of our RP.

 

The Old Inquisition was a sort of mix, a 'people said it was corrupt but people also tried to bring it down so we don't really know the truth'. 

 

This New Inquisition could instead be more clear. Based on choices, we could find that yes it did go down/something changed or happened to it, but we'd have more clarity that it was because of one reason or another. Maybe placing the Inquisition on fluffy clouds of hope just means that others take advantage of it later and it crashed down from the weight with less to fight. Maybe having it focus on a relatively ruthless Inquisitor had the common folk/nobility revolt against it. So similar possible circumstances to the OI, but this time we know more how it goes down, and it also could still be arguably be a better version/cycle of the OI regardless.

 

Basically I'm ready for the Inquisition to fall - maybe at least a part of it to 'go evil' (as we saw depicted at least in part by the southern Wardens in DAI, sorta), but I don't think an outright 'Evil Inquisition' itself is in the cards, at least not in its current structure. For now, we're enjoying the peak of power. But with all this fire symbolism in DAI, I'm ready for that flame to be put out at some point.
