Trespasser: To Disband or not to Disband

I've RPed my Lavellan inquisitor as someone who has come to cling to the Inquisition as a life raft, giving her purpose and structure in life. Disbanding the Inquisition could be a great thing to her, in that she would have moved past her dependence and found a new purpose. On the other hand... I still kind of like her as the head of the Inquisition. (Cassandra as Divine, who is the one I'm most comfortable tying the Inquisition to)

Disband. My Inquisitor is married (I'll let you guess who to... If you know anything about me, it'll be simple) and has a good amount of friends.
All in all, she doesn't need any Inquisition. It's just an organization with thousand unknown faces. She has the few friends she needs, and doesn't need them to be a part of her organization for that.

To me I have reached the conclusion that this is the single greatest choice that BioWare has ever given a player character. Think about it for a second. There is so much at play for an Inquisitor and their character to make this decision either way. Who is your Inquisitor? Who is your Divine? Will who the Divine is matter to your Inquisitor? Or will they try and redeem all the things no matter what?
It is a decision that takes place in who the Divine is, some Inquisitors would probably serve some Divine's better then others. Is the Divine Hardened or not? And all these choices are dependent on all the choices you made throughout the game yet did not actually make yourself. You can influence, but you do not chose the Divine.
But yeah. Kara kept it, with Divine Cassandria. I doubt she would do it with Viv or a hardened L. Which L is hardned in my first play through.

I disbanded. After finding out that spies had easily snuck in to the Winter Palace and were working for Fen'Harel the whole time (though they were helping me for the time being that's no excuse), I realized that if I keep the Inquisition large I will never know who to trust. Having a small faction of trusted companions (Bull was by my side along with the advisers and Harding in the last scene) and gathering new ones in Tevinter, I was much safer in my pursuit of Solas.

Disband as a slap in the face to Orlais and Ferelden.
I fixed your mess when you wouldn't, now deal with it yourselves, pricks.
(Also, a disbanded Inquisition can't give any support to the chantry, which is a huge bonus
)

It doesn't really disband since the founding members are still working together to find/stop Solas.
But for me, I'd disband it since Corypheus and Qunari threat is gone there's really nothing else to worry about besides Solas and those nobles wont care or believe in that threat because that's the plot of many Bioware games.
Anyways, the Inquisition got alot done doing things solo/ with a small group
That and dealing with Orlesian and Ferelden politics can get tiring and might end up counter productive

My logic (and that of my Inqusitor) was...well the mission is to prove Solas wrong and redeem him. Thus showing him that the peoples of Thedas are worth saving. And that seems easier with an intact Inquisition married to a reasonable Divine/ Chantry.
After all the Inquisitor does not trust herself with any power. And the fact remains, with or without the mark, the Inquisitor is one of the most powerful figures in the South right now. So, she recognizes that she can be personally corrupted. So, effectively neutering the Inquisition, yet leaving it a force, and marrying it to the Chantry she can serve as a check against the Chantry, making sure that Cassandra does not fall to the dark side, but trusts that Cassandra will keep her honest. And they will have a more built in organization to do the same for Thedas. Its a hell of a gamble, admittedly, but it may be better then going it alone.

I think if you put more weight into who is Divine, the decision becomes easier since keeping the Inquisition clearly states that you become the DIvine's private guard. Personally while I do like the idea of my elf staying in power, I definitely don't like the idea of serving, say, a Divine Vivienne who is the most close minded of the Divines. Same goes for my Trevelyan, who doesn't believe in the Maker and would rather be leading an independent organisation rather than serve the divine. Thinking about those things helps make the decision easier.
Kinda funny though Kara is an atheist, the one who is keeping the Inquisition...at least with Divine Cassandra...while she may not agree with the Chantry's ideology she can at least agree with their objectives and intentions. Though I also think it very unlikely that Kara would just rely on the Chantry/ Inqusition to save the day and is building up and encouraging others to build an organization independent of them.

Right now there's no right answer, at least until the next game is released and shows the consequences, so personally I'd base my choice upon the relationship between the Inquisitor and the Divine: choosing to keep it if they like and trust the woman sitting on the sunburst throne or to disband otherwise.

1) I wanted my Inquisitor to have a sort of "I can't stop fighting" feel. Before the end of Trespasser, I didn't want to disband. But in the end disbanding seemed like the way to keep fighting and serving seemed more like retiring or becoming a commander rather than a fighter.
2) Spies be errvreware. Disbanding is the only way to guarantee that they won't be there.
3) I oppose the idea of the chantry holding any military power. Whether it be Templars, Seekers or the Inquisition. So I also wanted to deny them that.
4) I don't trust Divine Leliana. She got hardened in my game and then disobeyed me and killed an unarmed priest. I was ready to be just like "**** you. We're not friends." Vivienne seems even worse and Cassandra would keep the circles... So end of the day, I'm not a fan of any of them.

Aurora Lavellan chose to disband the Inquisition.
She never wanted to be the Inquisitor or Herald of Andraste. She always believed that fate chose that path for her and not some divine intervention. Aurora had enjoyed her time with her clan and would have rather become it's next Keeper then lead some massive mostly shem army across Thedas. But besides all that she put her entire soul into the inquisition to stop Corypheus. To save the frostbacks from the Jaws of Hakkon. Even then despite her discomfort at being underground, went deeper into the earth that any dwarf had ever thought possible and calmed a Titan. She slew more dragons then the Hero of Fereldon or Champion of Kirkwall could ever dream of.
And yet despite her deeds, all she felt from the Exalted Counsil was hate and control. Divine Victoria was hungry for power and Aurora could sense she might turn the Inquisition into another Templar order. As it was, the Inquisition was sheltering mages who did not like the Divine's circles. Aurora did not want to become someone's puppet and after the final events with Solas, she chose to disband the Inquisition. She would seek to save Solas on her own terms with no one to hold her back. No one to leash her. After all she still had resources that came from friends she had made who needed no Inquisition Banner to remain by her side. She may have lost her arm(ies) but Aurora could now operate uncorrupted.
And she could go back to a more quiet life.

I think It's more about who you make Divine and to a lesser extent who rules the only one of my Inquisitors who stays is my Lavellan simply becuse I have Divine (Steeled) Leliana on the Sunburst throne and Briala and Celene reunited.
Divine Leliana
+Leliana more open minded
+Return's the Canticle of Shartan.
+ Allowed men and women of all races to be initiated and ordained.
Briala and Celene reunited
+ Celene is more open minded
+ An elf made a Marquise by choice
I persoanly feel its better to have Leliana steeled sacerfice her faith so she's better equipped for what ever comes next with solas. All this and compined with a Lavellan inquisitor leading a peacekeeping force makes for a stronger Chantry and south Thedas and and should hopfully show to the elves they are valued and mean that less join solas.
Bit of a long post but its the only reason I'd keep a peace keeping Inquisition even at the risk of corruption, all the rest would be disbanded.
Hope this helps!

Everyone pointing out spies should also remember keeping the wardens around had the issue of them being corrupted in the choice menu yet nothing happened with regards to corruption if you kept the wardens. Thus I doubt the spies will ever be an issue.
It's a bit different. Wardens were sent off to fight things that had nothing to do with being binded or corrupted by the fake Calling despite the risk. They weren't hired to spy on you so Solas could be one step ahead of your plans at all times. They were unwillingly corrupted by the taint being used against them and their own fear that then can now easily ignore if they try, but the spies are willing to report to Solas and are not under any spell. At this point an "exile all elven servants" option would be best.

That's not an problem of that side of the choice. It's a problem of how bw does choices. The wardens' corruption should have hinged on whether or not you left the warden in the fade. But.. bw kinda stinks at making consequences.

If you ally with the Wardens and suck at war table missions, they don't live long either.

In DAI with the threat of Cory we were desperate enough to ally with all kind of scum like mages, pimplars, Vents, Qunari, and even Orlesians.
To save the world again I guess the new chantry isn't any worse than our past allies. They have nice hats at least.

For my Lavellan the Inquisition had only one purpose - to stop Corypheus. Now, since saving Solas is her personal quest, running the organization would only be another burden. Disband.

I didn't disband mine. I put it under Leliana, i like Leliana. It also depends on what happens in DA4 my canon can change depending on the effects.
