I'm not asking whether the Inquisition can survive, but what it's gonna become if it does.

While Corypheus was around it was simple. Trading favors with other nations in exchange for support against a greater threat.

That is why it was enough to be vaguely described like "Uhh... we do whatever people need us to do."

But now the kingdoms and overall authorities need to know what kind of organization it is, officially speaking.

[Vigilance97]

Why does it even still exist? The plan was to close the breach, kill Corypheus and then lay down their swords like the Inquisition of old did. But then in the end Quizzy is all like "nope, I like my power way to much to give it up, so imma rule southern Thedas from now on kthxbye"

 

One of the things that bother me about the ending. I hope there's gonna be an option to dissolve the Inquisition in the next/last DLC, but I don't really see it happening.

Well, that wasn't necessarily the plan of all Inquisitors. I for one, probably wouldn't have dissolved the Inquisition (at least not right away), but if the next game isn't a sequel that stars the Inquisition, I will be quite annoyed you were given no option to dissolve it and/or retire. In other words, if it's just going to mysteriously fade away no matter what, why not give us the option to retire?

Depends on what type of Divine you end up with really...

In some cases , the templars , circles and even the Seekers are back...so The Inquisition would end up a rival of the Chantry .

It probably wouldn't be a problem during Divine Victoria (?) reign , if you're friend with her ...well the Inquisition can work while the Chantry rebuild.But I expect at one point , someone from the Chantry will ask the Inquisiton to lay down their banners.

(Same way Divine Justinia started the whole thing.)

 

Now let's say there's no more templars , no more circles , and no more Seekers...well there's no one left to deal with magical shenanigans.(and heathen bend on conquering the world like Qunari)

In some cases Leliana just dedicate the Chantry to love and bunnies.

You'd need the Inquisition to stick around.

Of course the problem is , you have an army which is just an army.A huge force at the whim of the head Inquisitor.

Again chances are once the Herald is dead , without the Chosen by the Maker propaganda , the Inquisition will fall apart .

It will get attacked by different nations /rulers.

Not possible to dissolve it by the end. By the end you have great resources, power, connections, influence... It's an unstoppable machine by the end. If your character steps down, then anyone could get access and control of this huge organization. Possibly someone who would be very dangerous controlling such a thing, someone bad could hijack it. The Inquisition can't be torn down, it's too powerful and too big. Best you can do is keep leading it and make sure you put up a successor in the next few decades. If you think you can just be like "okay, we're done, everyone disarm and go home" and Skyhold and the Inquisition just quietly disappear... Then you're extremely naive. The Inquisition has grown beyond the point of stopping.

 

Vivienne basically tells you as much in one conversation, depending on your dialogue choice. She tells you that you need to keep your position and influence in the Inquisition, or get torn to pieces by the masses.

It already happened with the ancient Inquisition.

They signed the Nevarra Accord with the Chantry once order was back.

They became the templars orders , and the Seekers of Truth.

Meaning the old Inquisition never really dissolved, it simply evolved into a new form. That's not disproving my point, if anything it's helping my point.

Not really , the Seekers kept some independance but not the templars , they were under Chantry laws.

They were no more in charge.

 

It's the same thing if the Inquisitor sign a new accord and most of the Inquisition soldiers becoming Seekers and Templars.

Suddenly the Divine is in charge , not the Inquisitor and the Inquisition is no more.

Justinia didn't plan the formation of the Inquisition to fight Corypheus. It was conceived to oversee/enforce much needed reform of the Chantry and its associated organisations. Whoever the new Divine may be, that process is only just beginning at the end of DAI.

[helpthisguyplease]

The inquisition has a purpose and that is to combat supernatural forces that threaten the survival of the world now be they gods, dragons, demons, darkspawn and others.

The inquisition can rival the power of any country on Thedas so I doubt there is anyone who can challenge it at least until the Inquisitor lives.

[EICAS]

There's a chance that the inquisition might replace the role of the grey warden when the next blight comes

 

yet this isnt what the main plot wants given that DAI has mentioned not much at all about the threat of the next blight

 

or it will be an intervenor or a major stakeholder for the possible conflicts between different nations in the future, if solas is gonna free his own people through any violent approach

 

or all will just return to the everlasting struggle between mages and templars

 

now I got confused what this the people refers to, old gods or dalish elfs living in Thedas...

[Dai Grepher]

Depends on the Inquisitor. My male human mage absorbed the templars, yet created a mage tower. He made an herb garden and an infirmary. He also is a devout Andrastian, yet he relies on fact and logic to tackle problems or explain things, which is why he never confirmed or denied Andraste's involvement, was honest about what really happened once it was discovered, and yet still maintained faith.

 

So my Inquisition, post-game, will stand for the same things it did during the game: truth and higher learning, security and peace, and charity and faith. It favors diplomacy over military, and military over secrets. It has a policy of non-involvement in conflicts unless the situation absolutely demands it, such as in examples of atrocities. It will provide information and education to all who seek it, and the Inquisition will research various landmarks and artifacts for historical and modern value. It will try to answer the questions and mysteries of the ages by seeking and finding the truth in all things. It will continue to build a strong and disciplined military that will be used mainly for defense, but also to eliminate any evil threats (demons, darkspawn, maleficar, etc). It will honor the sovereignty of each nation, and will work with the respective nobility to resolve any problems or disputes.

 

And I think the DLCs will fit perfectly with my Inquisition. Jaws of Hakkon takes place in a region that Ferelden doesn't really bother with, and Descent takes place in the Deep Roads. Both missions involve solving mysteries, uncovering lost history, and neutralizing threats.

My Inquisition certainly wasn't too big to disband at the end.  I made the Templars allies, so most of them went back to the Chantry.  Cass was Divine, so the Mages went back to the Circles.  The Wardens went back to the Anderfels, and the loaned forces from Orlais and Ferelden went home.  The various locales we 'conquer' would have either reverted back to the sovereign nations that actually owned them, or at best would have been a constant drain on resources since the Inquisition would have had to pay rent to those nations and pay salaries to the people who continued to man them.

 

That left me with some advisors and companions that didn't take off, and whatever mercenary dregs weren't part of another nation's army.  It would have been extremely easy to tell those folks to go home, abandon Skyhold for Orlais and Ferelden to fight over, and trot off back where I came from.

 

And I should have had the option to do so. 

 

I still find the idea that the post-game Inquisition is in a position to challenge nations to be absurd.  Even if you keep the Templars and Mages, most of your martial might goes home to the nations that loaned it to you.  You don't get to keep the Orlesian army just because the ruler owes you a favor.  Same with the Wardens.  The post-game Inquisition should be considered a shadow of what it was at its peak, not some unassailable powerhouse.  It might have some political clout due to favors owed and the eye-rollingly bad conceit that it is apparently impossible for anyone to say no to Josephine, or for her to make a bad deal, but that would only get you so far.

People, there is no "my/your inquisition". The inquisition will be whatever Bioware wants it to be, don't think that "your" inquisition will be the inquisition in the next DA game.

Ah, so BioWare's usual definition of "Choices Matter".

[andy6915]

The same Bioware that doesn't let there be an all-human Citadel Council even though it's what your ME1 ending was and the same one that doesn't let the Ferelden circle abolish chantry control if you asked for that as your boon in your DAO ending, yes.

[TK514]

I look forward to the Inquisition being the villain in DA4.

[Yaroub]

Won't matter, we're done with them, and i don't trust the epilogue at all.

 

I still doubt whoever we put as divine will remain so in the next game.
