I enjoyed the first two Dragon Age games. The third had some redeeming qualities to me in the form of Orlais though I wish it'd been given more focus overall...

I enjoyed both DA 1 and 2. DA:I I could never get into no matter how many times I try. The first one you start in humble ( Or maybe no so humble but ends tragic ) beginnings and work your way up to being important. The 2nd one you also start with nothing but work your way up to being important. The 3rd one is just "Oh you're a terrorist...wait...you fixed the issue we blamed you for? Well hello there King/Queen!"

It was just a huge disconnect for me.

Not necessarily. You don't actually 'lead' the Inquisition for a good portion of the early game. Also, keep in mind the 'Inquisition' is a religious organization, with devout followers. Seeing the main character as a religious symbol.

You aren't made 'inquisitor' until after heroically sacrificing themself to cover everyone's escape, and stand up to Corypheus. Surviving this encounter to then shepherd the survivors to Skyhold. Not to mention everything done prior to doing that, but those actions cemented the player character's rise to becoming the 'Inquisitor'. I do believe the inquisitor, more or less, earns the title.
