Disbanding. The Inquisition was sort of like SHIELD. Useful for a time, but clearly infested with agents supporting a different agenda. Dismantling it and starting anew to pursue the next initiative seems like the best way to go. As an added bonus, it will reduce the amount of b*tching and moaning from the Orlesians and Fereldens.
[Poll] Should the Inquisition disband or continue?

Just had an intense argument with Solas about me keeping people ignorant, haha. I'm looking forward to see how my action play out in Trespasser

My Inquisitions will probably always disband, and likely for the same reason : my Inquisitor and even the other members of the Inquisition are tired. They never had the option of not-becoming an Inquisitors and throughout their career were looking a way out. Becoming greater unknown to Solas was excellent moment to pack things up and try another approach. Solas will be in the dark for a bit, as his eyes and ears are blinded and deafened, and the Inquisition he knows is no longer there. My Inquisitors will always be friendly with Solas and want to change his mind- I just like him to much to become his antagonist. The friendly conversation totally plucked my heart strings and I went all crybaby there. I just think it was time for everyone to go home as the organization was becoming too unstable to remain useful in its current form, and I do not like Chantry as an institution to provide it more weapons to wield.
I cannot justify saving the sinking ship, that is the Inquisition, as a wise course of action- as remaining in existence would be substituting quality with quantity of forces. This is just my personal view- I respect the view of Team Keep Inquisition and bow to their reasoning in approval.

Choose preserve: Inquisition will become the UN of Thedas. We shall exist to preserve the peace, etc
Choose disband: World feels safer...until Qunari invade Tevinter and (possibly) march South. Plus, it might be too late when you finally find Solas, for this option makes finding him harder.
The advantage of choosing disband: avoids the beatrayal and corruption Solas warned you about. So, it's all up to what you choose to do with the elf.
If you want to stop him, to preserve the Inquisition is the best choice.
If you want to prove to him this world is worth saving, to disband is the best choice.

Can't afford to be exposed, disband to work under shadows.
I agree with this. If you are going after Solas you have to disband. I did, with the anger inflection, which gave me a good, short and simple speech.

I choose disband for my canon.
Reason:
-Solas knows everything about the Inquisition
-Solas has spies in the Inquisition
-Inquisition is currently losing trust among people due to them being a major power that has suddenly rising up within a short amount of time.
-Other factions have spies within the Inquisition's ranks and it would distract the Inquisitor and his or her allies from their main goal having to deal with all the other factions
As for the choice in general, i saw this more of a choice between Mercenary vs Secret Agent.
Keep the Inqisition:
-You have a military consisting of different people from different regions most of them are usually mercs, veterans, and people willing to join.
-You have Greater numbers.
-You have more resources.
-You will value Numbers above skills.
Disband the Inquisition:
-You have Secrecy on your side so Solas will not know your moves due to not having any spies within your ranks
-Despite lower resources, your contacts are more trustworthy since you only choose those who you can trust and check each "contact's" backgrounds more thoroughly to prevent any spies from the other factions sneaking into your ranks.
-Members are chosen for their Skills not by the Numbers so the new Organization focus more on only recuiting the best for the Inquisitor's Goal.
-The new base for this new Organization is shrouded in secrecy so Solas will not know where your Main Base of operation is.

If I were the Inquisitor, I would disband it too. That's what my first character did, and what most of my Quizzies will do, for the reasons posted above in this thread.
But it's funny, because this choice in particular reflects something that I missed from DAO in DAI: the feeling of anonymity.
Sure, in DA:O, everyone knew there was a Grey Warden running around, but nearly no one recognized us. We were adventuring with a small group, spending nights by the campfire, and it was more intimate.
In DA:I, you can't go anywhere without being called the Herald of Andraste or Inquisitor. You make bigger decisions at the War Table than during most of your quests.
And I think that's why many secondary quests don't feel appropriate. Why do you have to bring some necklace to a widow when you have scouts for that?
Why do you have to go fetch some medicine on the other side of a map when you have people everywhere?
Also, why did I recruit 9 companions when only 3 came with me for the final battles (main game & trespasser)?
Leading the inquisition has been nice, but I think I'd prefer doing things with a smaller group in Thedas, going back to basics.
That's not to say I don't like a strategic approach in a RPG: I love Mount & Blade: Warband, where you start as a nobody, and can progressively recruit more followers and grow your army. In this game, you can become a vassal and get some land or start your own kingdom and name your own vassals, or just stay a mercenary.
If there's a DA4, I'd like to either be in a small band of adventurers (going from tavern to tavern) or to start my own work force from scratch...

They can't throw political craps at us if we don't even exist, plus all those spies, damn.

My Inquisitor was hardcore andrastian and close friends with Cassandra who was Divine, so continuing the Inquisition was the best choice in that case. Though honestly, one of my biggest reasons was that Bann Teagan and Ferelden wanted it disbanded. I'm spiteful enough to just do the opposite of whatever they say

I see a lot of people making things up in their head to support a favored distinction between the choices. The game only has this to say:
-Continue under the Divine: The Inquisition lives on (but downsized). Opposition to Solas is stronger but risks corruption.
-Disband: Everyone seems to retire fully or part-time. Opposition to Solas is weaker but risks less corruption.
That's about it. Stuff like "such-and-such choice values numbers over skills" is pure conjecture.

Disband. While having an army behind you is nice when facing down someone who wants to end the world as we know it it has been shown many times in the game/DLC that pure force is not how you defeat someone like Solas.
The Qunari pretty much threw everything plus the kitchen sink at him and didn’t make a dent in his plans. In the banter between The Iron Bull and Solas where they play mental chess Bull plays a very aggressive game and ultimately gets beaten despite Solas losing his Queen and seemingly being backed into a corner.
The only time Solas’ plans have been foiled is when his pride blinded him to certain possibilities and outcomes. The way I see it with the Inquisition gone Solas will assume that not even the inquisitor could stop him thus allowing the new agents the inquisitor and co are going to find to infiltrate and sabotage his plans from the inside or something along those lines.

Also, we are going to tiventer: the inquisition can't go to tiventer just like that, the emperium will not allow a military force to enter their country just like that. they will probably do war to the inquisition if they try to enter tivinter. so let's enter as travelers me and my band ![]()

It partly depends on who the Divine is. When Cassandra was Divine, my Inquisitor was prepared to submit to her authority and work within that context. She trusted that the Inquisition wouldn't be used wrongly. When Vivienne was Divine however, my Inquisitor chose to disband and just keep her little task force. Some of my Inquisitors will probably want to work with her, but not that particular one.

Yeah if it was Cassandra or Vivienne I would disband too since I though they could keep the peace. But for Leliana I keep the Inquisition, no matter what. With Leliana it's less about stopping Solas and more about protecting her and her reforms.
Really, if she dies or her reforms get overturned then that's it, as far as I'm concerned Thedas isn't worth saving and it's better off if Solas does wipe out the racist fucks along with the shitty world that refuses to change.

Numbers vs skills is just my way of describing the situation.
The DLC also mentions the risks you will be taking as you progress through the storyline by both Factions in the Council and members of the Inquisition for keeping and disbanding the Inquisition.
Keeping the Inquisition, from how I see it, mean the Inquisitior value numbers over skills since you are making the choice to use a great number of forces against Solas. The Inquisitor can even recuit more people with their larger influence and resources since they are able to support such greater numbers.
Disbanding it reduce the numbers greatly and with such a reduced number logically they can't simply pick just anyone to fight Solas due to the risk of spies and lack of resources. With lower amount of resources they can't support a large force so they have to choose their recuits wisely within their lower resource demands.
Either choice leads to the Inquisitor finding new members to face Solas but how he wants to handling fighting Solas appears more on the choice if he or she wants to keep the Inquisiton or disband it while taking on the risk that goes with that choice.

I thought disbanding was the best choice. I liked the idea of basically running my own secrect organization. Working from the shadows and not having to answer to someone else.
Although with my second character I will choose to keep the Inquisition together.
