BioWare has to make the Inquisition order the most important and beloved pet of the series

No.

Some people disbanded their Inquisition in Trespasser. Even if you don't disband, you hand the reigns over to the Chantry; your Inquisitor is basically a puppet of the Chantry.

There is a stripped down shadow Inquisition that is operating as of the end of Trespasser, that is featured in the latest comic, Knight Errant, and which I fully expect to play a part in the hypothetical DA4.

Either, way, the Inquisition, as it was through most of DAI, is no more.

I die a little every time a Dragon Age game is released and the Grey Wardens don't play a significant role ...

At one time they may have considered doing this. When they first started promoting the plot they made it sound like you were starting the Jedi order of Thedas, a group who operated outside other organisations and could police Thedas on behalf of all. In fact that is exactly what the first Inquisition was. They were feared and drew the ire of the powerful because they treated everyone the same be they mage or non-mage, noble or peasant. They also dispensed justice with a proper trial rather than simply summary execution, so people could see why they were acting as they were. They were united in their faith in the Maker (or so it was claimed by the later Chantry that took them over) but they were not about spreading the faith but protecting the innocent and giving some order in a time of chaos. The Maker they had faith in was probably very different to the later one  being peddled by the Chantry. For example, apparently its members had no problem with the last leader, Ameridan having faith in both the Maker and his elven gods (unless they were unaware of this, which seems unlikely). After all apparently they were operating at the same time as the Dales and yet seemed to have no problem with the elves following their own faith.  There is no record of them coming into conflict with the elves and this would have been recorded if it had happened and still promoted as it would have suited the Chantry to do so.  The first Inquisition was around for at least 100 years before the Chantry. Drakon was very cute in getting Ameridan to be the one to lead it into his arms as it made him look less fanatical than history has shown him to be. Ameridan says that its members were worried about joining up with the Chantry but did so because they trusted Ameridan. As later history showed, they were right to be worried.

Thus far our organisation was very similar. However, as Nightscrawl has pointed out, they made it the brain child of the former Divine and gave it very strong links to two Chantry stalwarts, plus the whole Herald thing, so you seemed like an instrument of the Chantry version of the Maker and by default so did the organisation, even if you strenuously denied it. So even if they hadn't closed us down, I was not happy about the way it would be viewed.

This is also why I prefer disbanding. I did not want my Inquisition to go the same way as the original one, to become a puppet of the Chantry and sucking up to the rich and powerful instead of calling them to account. Whilst initially you may have the Divine of your choice, who acts as you would wish them, at any point she could die and then you have no control over her successor. I would also note that even if Divine, Leliana recommends disbanding as well, and this was before we learned about Solas so nothing to do with the number of enemy agents, so I think she could see where things were headed and she didn't want the Inquisition under the control of the Chantry either.

At the end the Inquisition at its core would seem to be operating separately of the Chantry, whether you disband or not. So may be we are still going to be the Jedi of Thedas and the new PC will be recruited to the organisation. I hope they call it something other than the Inquisition if they do though and we can shed the title of Inquisitor. I think that if that was the aim of Trespasser as they claimed, to bring to the close the story of the "Lord Inquisitor of Thedas" as a title, then they were successful in doing so and I am happy with that.

Fuck is this shit?


Legion of the Dead >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Pansy Wardens who only bother getting of their collective arses when the blight becomes too big for them to ignore any longer. 

Inquisition just means to capture Solas and bring back the natural order of things in Thedas. The Apocalypse shall sort things out, and decide who lives, who dies. Level playing field, elf or no elf. Spirits and demons running free, joining with the mortal hosts, the completely different way of existence.

Also, I will swear allegiance to any organization, and pursue any storyline that will let me kill Morrigan. Anything. Anyone. I don't care what else is on the agenda list.

A bulk of it's members are forced to be there due to their criminal history. Voluteers happen, but I think they are like 30%

Whereas I think it's flipped for the Grey Wardens. 70% are Grey Wardens by choice.

You must be pretty angry about DAI, then. Here Lies The Abyss in particular, and Warden-Commander "Most Likely To Be Duped For Life" Clairel.

Unless you're saying the reason for the >>>> is because the writers love to set them up and knock them down and beat the "evils of ends justify the means" horse to death.

(Don't get me wrong, I like the GW too -- but only as far as DAO went. After that, they became Bioware's whipping boy and then were marginalized, which seems a huge waste to me.)

No, not really. Bad desicions is kind of the theme of that game. I didn't like Clarel as a character but that's about it. 

Just seeing them in their glorious armor is enough for me

That too....

I rather liked the fact that the Inquisition was mostly just a bunch of ordinary soldiers. They don't have special powers like the Templars or the Grey Wardens but they still kicked a lot of arse.

We know the Legion of the Dead are the best though.
