#like yeah people can invest into spies and agents to find the inquisitor if they want to

there has been a bunch of posts recently about the inquisitor being erased by the narrative and a bunch of posts about how this means that the inquisitor can never come back from "being the inquisitor" and I agree
BUT
like it's not going to happen because in the end this is bioware's sandbox and if they decide that the inquisitor is gonna be in veilguard then the inquisitor is going to show up in veilguard even if you think your inquisitor would let the world burn and good riddance
BUT
one could make the argument that because the inquisitor is a symbol, because the inquisitor is so much larger than life, because the inquisitor as an individual doesn't fucking matter, they can leave, because no one knows who they actually are. like it's not without risks but if lavellan paces out and goes back to their clan (or any clan) is anyone going to find them? do people even know what lavellan looks like? did anyone in this chantry-led, shamlen-run institution even bother to pay attention to their vasillin? when cadash or adaar was the herald of andraste in haven all bull had to do was throw some shitty clothes on them as camouflage. when you get to the winter palace, people are surprised about who the inquisitor actually is.
once you disband the inquisition and peace out, how many people can actually pick out cadash out of a line-up when so much about the inquistion has been about erasing everything about them except some vague "idk some dwarf. i think he's a ginger"? like when josephine interviews you she's not doing it to get the story straight, she's doing it to know what to hide, what to emphasize, how to rebuild your whole identity to someone who is not you anymore.
#antiqua plays da:i#dragon age#thinking and pondering#like yeah people can invest into spies and agents to find the inquisitor if they want to#but the general population literally doesn't know what the inquisitor looks like or what they believe in or anything#you put some generic clothes on and fuck off and that's it they have lost you#like the people in this universe can barely tell city elves apart from dalish elves let alone a specific one#this is why you can fuck off to be a red jenny with sera.#like yeah at the end of the day you are always going to be erased by the narrative but that can allow you some freedom#idk playing as lavellan and cadash and adaar there is SO much 'and who the hell are you'#that I don't believe goes away even after all you have done BECAUSE the inquisition is so intent into erasing you anyway#which means you can take advantage of that and piss off#my main inquisitor is a mage trevelyan and i always think about him (and vivienne solas dorian) after 'in hushed whispers' because like#there is no way people don't just assume he is one of fiona's mages. like they learn his face eventually#but all of the mage member of the parties for sure got some treatment if you let cullen get more templars on the case
