* The entire final battle, particularly the end. After fighting Corypheus and the Archdemon, the Inquisitor wrests control of the orb ''as Corypheus BEGS the gods to aid him'', closes the Breach , and uses the Anchor to ''open a rift inside of him'', disintegrating his body from the inside out.

After fighting Corypheus and the Archdemon, the Inquisitor wrests control of the orb ''as Corypheus BEGS the gods to aid him'', "Force Pulling" it so hard at such an angle that it clocks Corypheus across the face and ''completely dislocates his jaw'', closes the Breach , and uses the Anchor to ''open a rift inside of him'', disintegrating his body from the inside out.

* When going to meet Dorian in the Redcliffe Chantry, it turns out he’s been beating back demons coming out of a rift in the very heart of the town, banking on the Herald showing up to seal the rift before he’s overwhelmed.

* The codex about the Temple of the Sacred Ashes had one for the Warden. It's pretty much the only time in the entire game anyone mention that the Warden find the Urn of the Sacred Ashes of Andraste, as absolutely nobody who talks about the Warden ever mention the quest at all. Yes, finding the earthly remains of this setting's equivalent to Jesus of Nazaret was a small thing compared with everything else he did that year. In fact, it was considered a ''side''-quest back in Origins.[[note]]Although if you want to proceed to the Landsmeet main quest after securing the alliances, which marks the beginning of Origins endgame, the player must to this sidequest in order for Eamon to call the Landsmeet.[[/note]]

** Related, Thane Sun-Hair is already prepared to LoopholeAbuse her way into supporting the Inquisition against the Jaws of Hakkon, despite the treaty they have between the two clans, to make the requisite ritual apologies and gifts to those allied with the Hakkonites (the few that there are) and have the storm of breaking oaths be weathered... But when the Inquisitor learns what the Hakkonites planned to do to Storvacker and frees her, she no longer needs to abuse any loopholes, because the Hakkonites broke the oath first, and she is PISSED.

** Alternatively, if you banished the Wardens, the Inquisitor can send her back to them, as a point of saying that she - and the Wardens themselves - must live with the consequences of what they were ready to do.

** Helping Briala as an elven Inquisitor adds another layer of Awesomeness to it. Throughout Literature/DragonAgeTheMaskedEmpire Briala’s beef with the Dalish was that they were dismissive of her and elves like her as [[CategoryTraitor “flat ears”]] and did nothing to help her. Finally, you show up and provide real assistance. What is more, you master The Game and play your master stroke in the end! You let Celine die and let Gaspard seize the throne, but you give Briala [[{{Blackmail}} kompromat]] on Gaspard, allowing her to wield influence unimaginable for an elf. And give her an unprecedented opportunity to improve the lot of the elves in Orlais.

** Pretty much any scene he's in has the Left and Right Hands of the Divine, both of them, as well as Cullen and Inquisitor should s/he so choose, tell him to go screw himself. Heck, you don't even have to choose this option; the game basically makes him a well-deserved ButtMonkey regardless.

* Perhaps to further illustrate the above point, within the span of a year, the Inquisition grows from a gathering of ragged upstarts with little more than whatever armor and weapons were left lying around at hand and a few dozen tents outside of a small castle to call home, to the most powerful organization on the continent that single handedly turned an ancient, ruined mountain fortress into a thriving city-state with the military and political might to match, exceeded only by just how much influence the Inquisition, and by extent the Inquisitor, can exert over the rest of the world. Even the Tevinter Imperium isn’t beyond the Inquisition’s reach, so it’s little wonder that Ferelden and Orlais grow nervous with the Inquisition’s continued existence long after Corypheus is destroyed. If the Inquisitor so desired it, they stand a legitimate chance at conquering the rest of Thedas.

* The [[https://youtu.be/Qi37VB15vqM?t=46 speech]] given by an aggressive Inquisitor when they choose to disband the Inquisition:Inquisition. Players who are incensed towards the ungratefulness of some of the members of the Exalted Council have a chance to air the truth that without the Inquisition, none of their problems will be solved that they themselves failed to address:



* The [[https://youtu.be/Qi37VB15vqM?t=99 speech]] by a diplomatic Inquisitor when they choose to disband the Inquisition is equally awesome and Heartwarming.
-->'''Inquisitor:''' You all know what this is. A writ from Devine Justinia authorizing the formation of the Inquisition. We pledged to close the Breach, find those responsible, and restore order. With or without anyone's approval. We have fulfilled that pledge, and now the war is over, for most of us. It is time for our soldiers to sheathe their swords and go home. ''(looks meaningfully at Josephine and gently hands her the Writ)'' To all who served: thank you. ItHasBeenAnHonor. Effective immediately, the Inquisition is disbanded.

* At the climax of the quest, if the Inquisitor has sufficient court approval, he or she has the option of heading off Grand Duchess Florianne's attempted assassination of Empress Celene by calling the guilty party out in front of the entire court... and it is ''epic''. You don't simply expose the would-be assassin's treason, you slowly and systematically verbally ''annihilate'' them, reducing a veteran of [[DeadlyDecadentCourt the Game]] to a sobbing wreck. It's especially satisfying when playing a non-human Inquisitor, who has no previous experience with the politics of human nobility and starts at a disadvantage in court approval. Bonus points for being a Qunari or an elf here, since the nobles consider a Qunari an uncultured beast and elves are just servants. Even more bonus points if you finish the mission with a court approval over 95 and earn the "Belle of the Ball" achievement (which is funny if the Inquisitor is a ''male''.)

* Walking into the DeadlyDecadentCourt in Orlais and owning everyone at the game they'd mastered. As a newcomer, no less. There's another layer for non-human players, like elves or Qunari; two species, one regarded as little more than servant fodder and a wild pet respectively, completely beating the entire court at the Great Game on their first try without any former training.
