Well, no offense, but your Levellan wasn't paying attention. The Inquisition's goal was to close the Breach, find those responsible and restore order (with or without anyone's approval). You just found out that the person responsible is still at large, and anything but order is on the horizon. The Inquisition's job isn't done.

 

I'm surprised to see the majority of people disbanding.

My decision to disband was rooted in meta-preferences - I just can't serve the Chantry - but it was easy to rationalize in-world and given the (lack of) alternatives, in-character, too: working in secret will likely be more efficient on a person-by-person scale, and my Inquisition was already so heavily slanted towards the Secrets branch that you could argue the part of it that matters didn't really disband and what happened on the surface was all a smokescreen.

No organisation is immune to infiltration or betrayal. Like Solas said, the larger the organisation, the more susceptible it is to corruption. A small tight knit group is going to be much harder to corrupt than a large, bureaucratic organisation.

 

But the group was no longer a large organization.  The wardens left, the mages either went to the college or back to the circles, all the elves left, and the mercs went back to doing merc work.  The only ones left in the inquisition are the templars who were getting off lyrium and the soldiers as per the epilogue slides with Cullen as their commander.  Even the new seekers weren't part of the inquisition so no, it wasn't a large organization any more.  It became the chantry's army.  A small group is not going to be able to stop Solas' elves.

Disbanded.

 

Next time trouble shows up on Orlais and Fereldan's door I'm laughing at them while walking away. 

 

Also much harder to infiltrate a small organization where everyone knows each other than a large organization.

I chose to disband the Inquisition as well. My Inquisitor never really wanted *that* much power in his hands anyway (he even refused to drink from the Well of Sorrows for the very same reason) and did exactly as he promised: he did what he could to close the Breach and restore order and stepped back once he succeeded. He also promised to redeem Solas, and he felt like he couldn't do that with an organization that was already falling apart and showing signs of corruption. Disbanding the Inquisition and finding another way to convince Solas that Thedas was worth saving sounded like the way to go. 

 

(That goes for my "canon" Inquisitor, anyway, who is a Lavellan. I'm planning to try a few different options with my other characters)

Telling Orlais and Ferelden to go screw themselves. Which I suppose counts as disbanding the Inquisition, but that's really more incidental. And the Inquisition wasn't really the writ from the divine or the swanky castle in the mountains, but the core group of people that formed it in Haven. 

 

Which really would have been the best way to go about it. Publically "disband" the Inquisition, but keep enough of it toghether - largely as a network of spies + the Inquisititor and party, and you can largely move against Solas, because you don't need more than that. Especially as he moves to Tevinter, out of the reach of Ferelden and Orlais.

What I do love about angry disband  "It was never about the people."

Someone in the early stages of the game explain that the Inquisitions are made with a clear purpose and must be disbanded after it was achieved. It stucked in my mind during the whole game and I was hoping it would actually happen. So I was quite satisfied when Trespasser gave me the option to do so.
 
The Inquisition was made to close the Breach and take down whoever was behind it. It succeeded, there wasn't a reason to keep it going. 2 years passed, and the Inquisition was still there. Why? To consolidate what was achieved during the fight against Corypheus maybe. Now it should be kept for longer... why? So I can defeat the threat posed by Solas, I suppose, he was the one behind Corypheus' power after all. Then after Solas is defeated, what will be the next excuse to keep the Inquisition alive and never let go of the power?

The fact he gave Corypheus the weapon that led to the Breach doesn't mean the two fights are the same, that the war against Solas will just be a new stage of the war against Corypheus. It is a new fight, against a new enemy, with a different intent. They are both related, but that's all. Trying to stretch things to justify the Inquisition fighting this war will end up falling in what I mentioned above.

 
Once the Inquisition reached its objective, I think keeping it is very dangerous. It's forming your own army and have it acting without any clear end, simply serving your will on whatever matter comes up. I would only keep it if I was aiming for an Inquisitor who eventually would go either corrupt or tyrannical. I am reminded of Cullen asking if the Inquisition would be a second Kirkwall and, yeah, I don't want my Inquisitor to become the new Meredith.

Those ungrateful, blind, ignorant, self-serving cheese-mongers and dog lords can solve their own problems from now on. I save them from the Venatori, the Red Templars, the Breach, from Corypheus, from Hakkon, the Titan and a Qunari terrorist threat that was right under their nose and they still give me crap...

Disband. You walk out like a badass that way

 

 

Besides, you're going to Tevinter anyway. Orlais and Ferelden support don't mean sh*t over there.

I don't trust a large religious organization with a large military. So, I always disband.

I chose to keep it. Thedas is not so peaceful that it couldn't use a peace-keeping organization as prevalent as the Inquisition. I figured the Inquisition would transition from a military/political force to a purely spy force, which I very much enjoy.

 

I mean come on, it's called the Inquisition. What do you expect its focus should be?

 

However, if Leliana or Vivienne were Divine in my canon, I would disband the Inquisition. I only trust Cassandra to oversee the Inquisition as her personal honor guard.

Agree with disband, I'd rather have a group of loyal followers and friends than a large organization that is easily corrupted. You might not be as strong, but you don't have as many people working against you.

Disband.

 

It has nothing to do with who is Divine; I just don't want Solas looking over my shoulder.

 

Also, if you choose the "Redeem" option, there is an added layer to that, if you listen to his banter with Cassandra - he states that he admires her because she was in position of power, having started off as one of the driving forces of the Inquisition, and yet she stepped down and let others take the lead. He says most people wouldn't let go of power and she gets big props from him for that. So, seeing as I chose "Redeem" with my DefQuiz, I thought, "what better way to start showing him this world is worth preserving than by letting go now, when I am in position of so much power that it is literally beginning to crumble under its own weight?"

 

Also that whole "I have spies in the Inquisition" thing. If I do come at him eventually, want him to be blind-sided, not expecting me with so much advance he had time to properly chill the wine.

 

I chose Redeem and I chose to keep the Inquisition to prove him wrong that it won't fall to corruption.

This was actually a painful decision, since my Inquisitor didn't want to give up the organization she had fought so hard to build. But she wanted the flexibility and efficiency of managing a small group, and she also didn't want to be the personal guard of the Divine.

I kinda hope something horrible ravages Ferelden and Orlais. Then BioWare could launch the Last Laugh DLC.

Why not Leliana? Leliana is the only one I trust with the inquisition as her personal guard.

Hardened Leliana may not even need the Inquisition to keep the peace. For me, the only Divine I feel will need the Inquisitions help is Softened Leliana.

I kept the Inquisition for several reasons:

 

My Inquisitor is a faithful one, When he was nominated Inquisitor he dlecared it belonged to the faithful so serving the Chantry is just a continuation of his previous work.

 

I headcanoned he is an ambitous person, so he would never give up of his Inquisition.

 

There are still several threats. Solas will not be stopped by a small group (in truth he will, but my Inquisitor doesnt know it), and he promised to bring to justice those involved in the Breach. Solas death will make him fullfil hos promise.

 

Dont forget the Qunari. Thedas will bemore powerful with the Inquisition when the war start.

 

My Divine is Vivienne, she was a trustred friend, a valuable ally and I like her, so serving under her brings no worries to me.

This does raise another interesting point.  Depending on your choices in Inquisition the Inquisition may be the only large major international force in the South.  You could disband the Templars, Exile the Wardens, and then the Circles are pretty much over no matter what you do...you know from the massive amount of casualties they face...actually same for the Templar Order.

I didn't see the point of the Inquistion becoming a peace keeping force, I dislike the chantry so why would I give them more power even with good divines like Leliana and Cassandra that extra power will still be abused. So I disband. It can't really be that big of an impact in the next game anyway.

My Inquisitor didn't care for this Herald of Andraste bit, and doesn't have any interest in being the head of what was essentially a new holy order for any longer than necessary. I always headcanoned that my Trevelyan ducked out on familial duties to avoid the Chantry, only to ironically get sucked back in by a big ass explosion. Working for the Chantry is a definite no-no, regardless of who's in charge, so I'd always choose to disband. Besides, I honestly don't see a bloated military and bureaucratic organization really making any difference against something like Solas.

Disbanding seems like defeat to me. Like you're admitting Solas was right about organizations becoming corrupted. Screw BioWare's forced storyline. Keep the largest Inquisition you can for BioWare to fumble through.

Disband. 

 

As much as I enjoy your progressive values Leliana, I don't exactly want to deal with the Chantry, Orlais, and Ferelden anymore, so adios and good luck I got a wolf to catch.

Why not both?

 

MGSV Spoiler:

Spoiler

 

That's how I see the ending of Trespasser anyway with the Inquisition continuing; the Inquisition focuses on protecting the Divine and her interest while the Inquisitor puts together a small operation in Tevinter (probably) to combat Solas, with the larger organization ready to provide support or respond to any threats.

 

It might even be better since Solas may focus on the Inquisition while failing to notice the small group operating in its shadow.
