Mortalitasi slightly approves.

I still hold to my opinion of playing how you want or your character wants, it won't change the big story, just the little details. The Keep is a great addition because one doesn't have to worry about doing a playthrough just right to get certain events in the next game; just edit a worldstate.

I prefer to let Morrigan drink from the well. I love the scene where she finds out who Mythal is. However, I have one Solasmancer who drank and one who didn't...just in case.

I like Leliana as Divine. I need to have my pal Cassandra by my side.

I always disband. I am sick of defending those ungrateful self-righteous people. They can save their own butts next time. My Inquisitor has bigger fish to fry.

The Well:

 

It was a difficult choice for me, because I played an elf the first time. Even though I tend to think of them as somewhat skeptical, the history is still of incredible value and there is some reluctance to give it to a non-elf, rather than taking it as the only viable elf candidate. I'm confused at why the writers made Flemeth and Morrigan humans, but I hope there is a story reason that comes about as to why that is. Still, the idea of being "controlled" by another party is disconcerting and my character ultimately decided it wouldn't be worth it. I saw my character as a skeptic and they wouldn't trust the idealized version of a "goddess" with that kind of power over them. It was a difficult choice and I imagine my character would feel some guilt for letting go of that knowledge, but ultimately they wouldn't take the chance. 

 

As another "in character" point, I had a romanced Dorian with me at the time and he has a line saying something like, "I don't want to lose you to this", which I headcanon as influencing my Inquisitor. Dorian was usually pretty resistant to anything that could be construed as sappiness in conversation, so I felt like it must have been strongly felt if he chose to speak up about it. (With meta knowedge, there's a disapproval from him if you still do it that's larger when in a romance.) Part of my Inquisitor choosing not to drink from the well was to respect my partner's wishes.

 

The Divine:

 

Always Leliana, for me. I found her to be easily the best choice. It's not difficult for me at all. I don't see the others as nearly as appealing for this position. I usually go with a softened Leliana, because it feels to me over the course of her character development that the softened Leliana is the "truest" version of her personality, and I believe it's how she'll personally be happy. I like Leliana and I saw her as a very close friend to both my Warden and Inquisitor. It's not a strategic decision to go with the "softer" version, just basically an extrapolated opinion about her character that forms my headcanon about how Leliana is happiest. It seems like Leliana's first instinct is to make choices that lead to a "softened" version, in most instances, and it's up to your character to steer her onto a more hardened path. Marjolaine seems to have introduced her to this kind of thinking and I feel like it's not the "real" Leliana, as she would be without strong external influence. Thus, I go with the softened version of her for Divine.

 

Inquisition's Fate:

 

This is a difficult decision for me, probably one of the most difficult I've faced in a game. What I really wanted was an option to stay autonomous. I didn't want to disband or submit to Chantry authority. I don't play my character as being faithful or supporting the Chantry, so the only reason it makes a little sense to back up the Chantry is that I do have a lot of respect for Leliana and what she's trying to do. I picked a Divine that would enact all these changes that I believe in, so there's a certain level of responsibility that I feel to stand with her and back her up in this time of turmoil. There is a great concern, however, that the Chantry could abuse the Inquisition in the future, after Leliana is gone and the current Inquisitor is gone. I'm very uncomfortable with the idea of putting this powerful new tool in their arsenal knowing how much it could be corrupted under Chantry control down the line. I don't want the Inquisition to end up being just another name for the Templars or Seekers.

 

In the end, I will always choose to disband rather than to hand the Inquisition over to the Chantry. While I believe in Leliana and the changes she wants to make, I don't believe in the institution she's serving, in general. I hope the Inquisition can remain totally apart from the Chantry so that, if need arise, they can return and operate again as a totally outside force that's free of any of that possible corruption. Also, I feel this is the best way for the Inquisitor and his allies to continue working behind the scenes without the Chantry watching over his shoulder. 

[Loyal Tevinter]

The Tevinter human mage I was roleplaying did the following:

 

1. Let Morrigan drink from the well. The power was tempting but being a servant linked to an elven goddess/magister wasn't.

 

2. Had Leliana become the next Divine so the mages could be free.

 

3. Disbanded the Inquisition, since I roleplayed my character as an Old God worshipper. No way did I want my character to work under the Chantry. Death to Solas!
