Liu Kang actually made sense though lol 

Only that weird angsty emo Liu Kang in MK9. Old Liu Kang was actually a good guy and didn't hold misplaced grudges against his allies.

That plus the two teased endings on the ladder matches

 

But yea, the current Liu Kang reveal kinda killed that theory 

[Shaftell]

No that would be stupid. It is actually good to see the inquisition get nods in upcoming games. Give the player a sense that what they built had meaning and for it to continue as a military force or faction like the wardens etc.

I wouldn't put much credence in the ladder endings. They're all non-canon, and always have been. The only one that is semi-canon is Shao Kahn's Armageddon ending, and that one is pretty retconned to fit MK9's narrative frame.

I wouldn't say they're all non-canon, MK has a history of making a couple semi-canon in all the games on the concept itself

 

I only brought it up because they teased Liu Kang turning evil in two of them, which is why people wanted Liu Kang to be villain

Disbanding the Inquisition would have been my Inquisitor's first act once Corypheus was dealt with.  The castle's the Inquisition 'owns' are all in sovereign nations and thus subject entirely to those nation's rulers.  Most of the Inquisition's martial and economic power was on loan from ally nations, and thus should have returned to those nations upon conclusion of the crisis.

 

I see no reason why Orlais or Ferelden would allow a nascent threat like the Inquisition to fester in their nations without taking action to remove it as soon as possible.  They're going to want their castles back.  They're going to want their troops back.  Anything the Inquisition doesn't return, it is either going to have to pay for outright or pay rent on, and it's going to have to pay taxes either way.

 

The Inquisition serves no purpose past the Breach crisis, so does not need nor deserve lasting multinational support or influence, unlike the Grey Wardens.

 

I would quite enjoy a game where we dismantle the Inquisition.  My Inquisitor would lead the effort.

I'd prefer not to fight the Inquisition and rather doubt it happening. If I remember correctly the Inquisition was compared to the founding of the jedi order. How the player conducted themselves will determine the nature of the inquisition in the future in theory. Depending on the ending you received it also seems extremely unlikely.

 

For example. Impress Selene is said to be clinging tightly to her alliance with the Inquisition as she fears it's the only thing keeping her in power. As I recall it also mentions that the Inquisition will only grow in power. If you had a good showing at the party the Orlais nobles like you and then there is the connection to the divine whoever she happens to be in your play through. Then let's not forget the changes to the grey wardens an alliance can bring about.

 

I don't see where people get the idea that the Inquisition soldiers were on loan. As I recall a great many of the soldiers joined the Inquisition and Cullen had to see to their training. The blades on the storm coast, if recruited, are only loyal to the Inquisitor. As for the nobility. Well go ask Josephine of what people think of the Inquisition. I don't remember the exact wording but I believe it goes. "There is scarily a noble house that hasn't sworn its support to the Inquisition." Plus, "We have gathered many favors amongst the nobility they will be gently reminded of this."

 

I'd say that like the jedi order the Inquisition has grown into an extremely powerful peace keeping force that's dedicated to the well being and prosperity of its allies. The player just determined how merciful or brutal it was in achieving those goals.

I really like the idea of leading a band of rebels against a tyrannical Inquisition. Set the game 10 or so years after Corypheus was felled and show us how the Inquisition took control of Ferelden and Orlais. Bring back playable origins that have our PC being oppressed by the Inquisition in various ways(living in a village that gets destroyed by the Inquisition in the hunt for a blood mage, being taken prisoner because your relative is a rebel, stuff like that), put a focus on strategic decisions(focusing attacks on supply caravans or outposts, digging up dirt on politicians to gain favor or assassinating politicians who support the Inquisition, etc) and make a better go of telling a "personal" story(like DA2, but better) and it could be awesome. They already took control of Hawke away from us so I don't see why taking control of the Inquisitor away is not a possibility. If they made my Inquisitor look and sound right I would be fine with him becoming a tyrant after a decade of absolute power. And I would be fine with killing him as the new PC if it was handled well.

[Han Shot First]

I don't think this would work, at least while the Inquisitor still lives, as turning a past player character into a villain runs a very large risk of having those characters act out of character. 

 

That isn't to say that the Inquisition couldn't be used as an enemy faction at some point. But if the writers go that route, I think it would be better to set that game at some point after the Inquisitor has died. You could have the Inquisition evolve into something that was ultimately bad for Thedas, without player characters potentially go through a drastic personality shift between games.

[DuskWanderer]

No, it's a terrible idea. It doesn't make any sense without a time skip enough to no longer make it the Dragon Age.

No, I think fighting a corrupted Inquisition is very predictable and boring. Instead what I would love to see is fighting the "good" Inquisition because of my own reasons. Whether my intentions are good or bad, I would like to raise a power strong enough to challenge the Inquisition for whatever the cause. A simple nation vs. nation war. No good or bad but just perspective. They could go as far as letting you choose which side to support, the plot could be completely different but you as a neutral party for example could decide which to support like in the Mage/Templar war. This is just one of the many possibilities.

Fighting the group that you built and controlled in the last game is boring and predictable but a simple clash of factions is exciting and original?

Fighting the group I created because it has gone spoiled is boring. Fighting another nation for political reasons and not because its "evil", is not boring.

[Darkly Tranquil]

If the option had been there I would have disbanded the Inquisition at the end of the game anyway. My Inqy's view was that no-one should hold such power.

I'd have no issue with fighting the Inquisition, but it would have to be done in a way that was story consistent for players who played goody two-shoes Inquisitors; red lyrium madness, perhaps?

[NoobyMcNoobnoob]

I'd like the continuation to be that the inquisitor leaves them and goes off with a small detachment into the world to investigate and seal any remaining smaller rifts in theadas, leaving cullen in charge.  Slowly the other characters all drift apart to go their separate way's.

(this next bit is very specific to my play thorough so sorry in advance)

so everyone going off there own ways, you got leliana back to working for the new divine trying to be more of a shadow ruler than spy master trying to change the chantry from within with cloak and dagger false assassinations ect.  Cassandra breaks off the reform the seekers as she is concerned with the fate of the inquisition as a almost global power with their original leader now gone.  bull and chargers goes off to be a merc chasing dragons and other big game, only taking nobles requests whenever they need money.  Cole to try to be a "real boy".  Varric back to kirkwall to try to rebuild.

Viv being horrified that the circles are no longer a part of the world, makes here own group consisting of other high position mages (that the circles granted high positions of power and authority to) and overly zealous and naive ex-templers.  She takes it upon herself to track down and eliminate any one she sees as a traitor to circles, being Machavellean enough to use magic when it would upset the most people against the mages and templers for mage sympathisers in order to terrorise the people of theadus into demanding the circles be re-established.

Dorian still coming to terms with the old elves revelations about them warring between themselves rather then being beaten by the old tevinterens has made it his mission to start digging up the past, both relics and records, in order to bring something back to his people as a massive humble bat to the upside of their faces.  He is also trying desperately to find Solas as he thinks he knows a lot more then he ever let on about.

Sera is back to being herself although she does do a lot of work for lelianna if it suit her.

Blackwall after helping with the new grey wardens has set out to find what happened with hawk after he when to warn the wardens elsewhere.

Cullen back at skyhold has been buried under mountains of paperwork with request from all over asking for aid and rebuilding forces,  because of what he feels is abandonment from he allies he is slowly being pushed out of the commander position by the new advisers of the inquisition, these new advisers only got the positions as being observers only in order for the holds of thedus not to feel threaten by the massive force of the inquisition sitting in the middle of the territories after the original intent had been completed, however due to the slow exodus of the original cast these rather unsavoury rules to be have been doing everything they can to gain what little pieces of favour and power they can get the mitts on.

After an assassination attempt on johsefeens life she is in grave condition, johsfeen being the only voice with enough reason and abilities to see the game the new advisers were playing, is currently being moved to the main cathedral where lilianne is waiting, cullen along with a large force are escorting her there.  the three advisers know they are losing grip on the inquisition and so for months have been slowly disassembling it from within (sending forces to the boarders, giving more to the new seekers and gray wardens, and releasing all others from service to go back and rebuild and protect their new homes) the force now on there way to the grand cathedral are whats left of their most loyal followers,  whats left in skyhold is know whats to be considered morally ambiguous when it comes to power.

Solas after merging with mythral has slowly gathering power and telling tales to any dalish keeper that will listen to him about the past of the elves, he is escorted by a small retuine of the Ancient elves that once guarded the well of sorrows.  With growing concerns with were the future will take the elven race Solas decides to seek the inquisitor in order to gain more power to help him renew the elven past.

the inquisitor after many years of searching and investigating closes the last of the rifts he can manage to find, that night with 3/4 of the men he started with, is joined by solas, alone, as he walks in from the dark congradulating the inquisitor,r informing him that he believes that was the last of the rifts, according to hes dalish contact, to be closed. after a long night of celebrating with the company and share stories to catch up, Solas asks for a moment of his time to speak in private, after walking some distance away solas start to tell about reviving the elvish people and that he needs more power to do so, the inquisitor, ever the friend, thinks nothing of it and pledges the power of the inquisition behind it (not knowing of what has happened to the inquisition or his comrades since leaving almost a decade ago),  Solas regretfully informs that he was not requesting his help but was going to, regrettably, take the power from him.

2 years later the a crippled begger walks into a small aleinage town where a young elvish boy/girl is being strung up next to the corpse the rest of his family by a bandit company, the outlaws see another easy mark to torment and start towards our one armed former inquisitor.

2 years later a small family of darwven caravans are making a trading journey between major trade post towns, they have been stopped by check point along with others, the inquisition force that patrols these areas have rising up the taxes again and your father is currently negotiating a fair price to pass, when one of the sentries falls down dead with an arrow embedding into his skull, in moments a band of warpainted elves fall upon the caravan like carrion birds, screams are silence quickly your brother and sister huddle into the darkest corner of the carriage they could find, you are left to defend the opening with old the weapons of a fallen soldier. as you see 4 confident blood crazed elves descend apond you an old ragged begger with one arm steps out putting themselves between you and your attackers.

errr make something else up similar for human or quinary races im out for now

sorry about crap writing skills


 

[sillymonkboy]

This, e.g., we get to play the anti-Inquisition, will not happen if for no other reason than it would cause cognitive dissonance.

[Laughing_Man]

Right. DA4 is about fighting the Inquisition for some reason, DA5 is about fighting those who fought the Inquisition, ad nauseam.

 

This is a horrible idea.

[SomberXIII]

One can hope. Sure, one can.

The Inquisition retaining Skyhold makes some sense if it is on the Orlesian side of the Frostbacks. Most of the epilogues for Orlais end in whoever is on the throne either being grateful for the Inquisition helping to secure that throne, or needing the Inquisition as an ally to retain it. 

 

But of course that could always change down the line, and the Inquisition could end up being seen as more trouble than it is worth by a different Orlesian emperor/empress.

I was with you until the last sentence. A game about dismantling the Inquisition - that might be the most tedious concept for a game ever.

True, it could be. I suppose it would depend on how well written it was. I would be satisfied if it happened off screen, however.

[Medhia_Nox]

I'd rather go to Tevinter thanks.

[Karlone123]

I reckon the next game will take place far in the North (Anderfels or Tevinter), the Inquisition will have a distant role being given nods and maybe some old characters like Dorian and such appearing as representatives of the Inquisition if we ever meet them. If Solas is the big bad in the next game, then maybe the Inquisitor could appear like Hawke (I love you Hawke!!!) as an advisor on handling Solas giving references on their relationship. So I do not reckon the Inquisition will turn evil unless the Inquisitor is displaced and all its' followers become brainwashed like the Grey Wardens were.
