Disbanded. With the Inquisition having both Qunari spies and those of Fen'harrel infiltrating its ranks, its risky to allow an organization that wields considerable influence and has its own independent military to continue given that war is brewing on all sides. The Inquisition could be torn apart from within, and really having another army that could potentially be used for the Qunari or Solas is a bad idea...
besides, with the Inquisitor going after romanced Solas, and wants to change his mind, its more personal and better to go after him in smaller numbers by those she trusts given that it's a lot easier to move aroun and attract less attention in smaller numbers.

Continue, the Inquisition is needed now more than ever. I'll also try to save Solas from himself even though I felt like punting him off that cliff. I'm an elfy elf person but bruh you've lost your damn mind.

In my canon playthrough, I disbanded it (with the 'neutral' option). The way that he would look at it, the Inquisition, despite working towards the greater good, has developed a reputation that is going to impede our efforts. My Inquisitor is a bit of a boy scout, so it just seems fitting that he lay down the Inquisitor's sword and, on the sly, pick up the mantle of a underground resistance effort to redeem Solas and save him from himself. The efforts aren't going to stop, but the work will be done under the banner of a different organization (with many of the same players acting as allies).
In my second playthrough, I'm intending to keep it running. My alt Inquisitor is a much more aggressive character. He makes big moves, justifying any pushback as necessary collateral damage in his efforts. He also has a bit of a power-hungry streak (drinking from the Well himself). I think it's totally in character for him to aggressively keep the Inquisition together, hoping that the work that they do will counterbalance any political issues that arise.

Disbanded with the sad option. My characters are softies what can I say. Plus they wanted a few moments of peace for having to chase Solas ass all over the place.

Yes. The power and authority should be placed back into the hands of the Chantry and a new Templar Order established. The Chantry is the best thing for Thedas....except the Imperial Chantry.

Chantry is the worst thing that happened since the First Blight.

Continue. We still have the Qunari Invasion and Solas to stop.

If I recall correctly, wasn't the Second Blight worse than the first?
Also, pretty sure the other three are also worse than the Chantry.

(Angry Response) Disband.
I wanted to rub it in the Council's faces and everyone else's how much they suck before I say the last f*** you.
I also wanted to give Solas some handicap. He deserves some 'living the godhood dream' for all the stunts he's pulled, before I obliterate his little, shiny egg-head.

As epic and confusing and world shattering as this choice may seem right now-odds are very likely it won't make a bit of difference once the smoke is cleared. I remember a time when I used to think the choices really mattered, but now I know they make for fun little differences-but at the end they don't actually change anything.
Still though-in being true to the nature of this thread-I don't buy that disbanding the inquisition will really make things any safer from corruption. Even if it is just the inner circle trying to stop Solas we will at some point have to rely on the kindness of strangers-who could potentially stab us in the back. So why throw away an army and resources cause of fear?

Continue. Do some house cleaning. I'll be damned if I going to give in to Ferelden who couldn't kiss our ass enough and asked for help when they needed it. Or Orlais who is more concerned with the game than threats to their country. I put Gaspard in charge for a reason. It's obvious the wrong folks would be left to defend the two countries, and what are they going to do to combat Solas without the Inquisition?

In my canon playthrough I disband the Inquisition.
Support from other countries is unstable at best, they could potentially boycot or sabotage your efforts:
- Ferelden already fears the influence the Inquisition has gathered and considering their history, rightfully so. Their attitude likely won't change.
- Orlais only likes the Inquisition if they can gain some sort of benefit from the Inquisition, that means you'll have to give up power to Orlais in order to keep them happy.
- Chantry support is entirely dependant on the Inquisitor's relationship with the Divine. If you get into a dispute or argument with the Divine, no matter how good buddies you are, you might lose Chantry support as well.
The Qunari invasion:
- A threat already acknowledged and feared by many countries, not something easily ignored or waved away.
- A full on invasion requires much more force than just the Inquisition
- Have spies in the Inquisition as an organization
- An invasion can be sabotaged/prevented with a much smaller force
Solas' plans:
- To everyone in Thedas the breach was caused by Corypheus, not Solas, they might not even know Solas exists.
- A threat that can be handwaved away by other countries as a bogus story. Nobody but you knows Solas personally, only you know his plans. Your plan to stop him with a full force could be seen as a lie to cover an attempt to take over power from several countries.
- The Chantry would not and does not like the idea that Solas created the Veil, as it would deny the existance of a Maker (or an elf would be the Maker) and they would protest immediately and thoroughly. The Divine won't make a difference.
- Solas knows the Inquisition from the inside out, he knows every vulnerable spot, he has spies everywhere and he knows the Inquisitor personally. If anyone can predict the Inquisition's forces and moves best, it would be Solas.

I voted for 'Disband' simply because most if not all of my Inquisitors would. I've yet to play the DLC.

Why do so many people want to disband, with Solas wanting to burn the world and the Qunari on the horizon? I honestly don't know why this is even a choice. Disbanding, or even downsizing, is downright stupid.
Continuing to operate as a secret society isn't a bad idea. Solas isn't a problem that calls for an army and the Inquisition would turn into something rather ugly as it tried to dig out those with Qunari sympathies with official Chantry sanction.

Disband. Honestly, it won't matter much in the long run. BW likely will give us dialogue flavor at best in future sequels. I would be quite shocked if this decision had an tangible impact. But if we were to disregard that notion, disbanding the Inquisition seems by far the smartest option. What is worth all those armies and power if corruption will rot it all away before you get an chance to reach Solas? It's more effective to keep the few trusty allies and rebuild from scratch.

Disbanded, angrily. I don't want to be the puppet of a religious organization, even if I like Leliana as Divine; and I won't risk further corruption between my ranks.
We will work in the shadows and we will solve this by ourselves.

The Inquisition is being downsized either way, even if you continue on as the Divine's Honor Guard.
Anyway, these were my thoughts on the matter in a separate topic:
My different characters will, of course, have differing opinions on this choice (my eventual canon state might even go with the Honor Guard), but I personally felt that disbanding was the better option. Settling in with the Chantry might have the benefits of greater material support and enlistment, but being more vulnerable to further corruption and infiltration, as well as being saddled with more political responsibilities and attention are obstacles we're better off without. All of our focus must be dedicated to stopping Solas, and there's no time for distractions.

I think if you want to stop/kill Solas then disbanding would be the better option since you are his sworn enemy and he knows the ins and outs of the Inquisition. If you're trying to redeem him then it may be an ideological battle of trying to convince him this world is worth saving so keeping the Inquisition around to keep the peace and, in some cases, try to change things may be better. And who knows, in this scenario maybe Solas might secretly help the Inquisition in keeping the peace until his time comes or you prove him wrong. He did help you thwart the Qunari plot.

It is compromised. By the Qun, by Solas. It has become bloated, corrupted and would be an impotent weapon against the power Solas wields anyway. Better to disband it and remove the risk of infiltration by Solas & the Qun. Approach the problem with an elite band of heroes such as the inquisitor's friends, Hawke, Hero of Ferelden, Hawke's friends, HoF's friends and any heroes that may be in Tevinter as well, etc. They can also muster a new, much smaller, more efficient fighting force as well if needed.. one that is not bogged down and contaminated by bureaucracy & politics. The Inquisitor's name will still hold tremendous sway and people will join if she / he makes a call for men & women to join her against Solas.. They simply no longer need to do it under the banner of the inquisition, which carries religious & political problems with it.
