Did BioWare ever consider the player to become Divine?

Male Vasoth Saarebas the best! 
(Vivienne with her power-hungryness is a Magister-Divine. every pious Andrastian's worst nightmare!)

Isn't like 90% of the political tension in Inquisition due to the Inquisitor being a complete rando? The Inquisitor is a totally unpredictable, untrained schmuck who is (unfortunately) fused to the only weapon that can stop Corypheus. The other leaders of Thedas only tolerated them out of sheer necessity.

Nothing sudden about it. There's a really big difference between how common folk see the Inquisitor and how people with political power see them. Most of those in power are fully aware that the Inquisitor is a minnow among sharks. But they have to be superficially nice in public, because their people see the Inquisitor as the Herald of Andraste.

Much of the noble/Chantry "support" during the events of Inquisition boils down to stuff they need to do anyway (like send armies against Corypheus) and smaller bits of token support that keep the masses happy. Giving the Inquisitor a seat as the Divine is giving them real, lasting power. That's too important to use as a token "see, we support the Inquisitor!" move. Not only would it threaten power structures within the nobility and Chantry, it would also be a really ill-advised idea when it comes to overall stability.

The best case scenario is that the Inquisitor is a Trevelyan, and has some training as a minor noble. In the best case scenario, they're still incredibly inexperienced in politics/governance, compared to the other alternatives. Leading an army is totally different than leading in peacetime. Even if they had good intentions, they'd fuck things up due to the crushing weight of their own incompetence.

And that's all assuming they'd have good intentions. The Inquisitor is still basically an unknown quantity. Once installed, good luck removing a Divine who isn't what you expect. It's extremely important that there's little to no potential for major surprises.

Because the Inquisitor will return as the main character for the next game


Not sure if I would want my Inquisitor to become divine. She wouldn't look good wearing that big hat.

Who would replace the Inquisitor? What would happen to the Inquisition? Would Teagan have a hissy fit if the Inquisitor were divine?

There's another art piece like this where Leliana is crying because the Inquisitor allows Empress Celine be assassinated before stopping her cousin - even though in the final game she's the one who comes up with the idea in the first place. Seems like she might have gone through some personality changes during the development.

I think it would have been awesome if at least human female Inquisitor could be able to become Divine. 

*shoots you in the back, wins*

Personally I am glad it was not included. I do not need my pc to become the top dog in everything.

I'm glad they did not have that happen. Being Inquisitor and some holy prophet was really enough for me. Too much, really. The holy prophet and castle stuff is just really not my personal jam. I like a scrappier approach.

But you can't always get what you want. So, you make a choice to play along, or not. I played along. But if they had layered in the option to become Divine, too, it would have been entirely too much for me. Too much snowflake. Way too much snowflake for my tastes.

Because tresspasser. You can't be divine because it does not work with tresspassers plot.
