Normally, I would agree with you. But abducting one of my family members triggers the "kill on sight" in me.

Fair enough XD I do get violently defensive over my family too, but... it's Cullen. He's so polite about it XD

Alright, I acknowledge that Cullen is polite.
I still want him dead for dragging Bethany off.
In fact, if it were up to me, pretty much every templar in the Dragon Age universe, except Thrask and Evangeline from Asunder, would be put to the sword.

Dunno, I felt that the templars in Ferelden seem alright, overall. The system is just flawed - they have forgotten that the templars must protect the mages as well as protect the rest of society from mages. It could work, but as it is... :/

There are several good arguments for that stance, but I feel that it is doomed to fail. The Templar Order is, by its very nature, tyranical. They are given absolute authority over all mages to do as they please with them, and they have no oversight and face no consequences for their actions. It takes an a person with an extraordinarily strong moral compass to keep from abusing such power, and very few of the Templars are such. In fact, it says quite clearly in the Order's codex entry that the Chantry does everything it can to AVOID recruiting such people, instead recruiting emotionally detached people who will strike a mage down the instant they have any hersay that suggests the mage is corrupted.
And as for the Templar's Rites, such as the Harrowing and Tranquility, they are absolutely useless in determining the good mages from the bad; as Uldred in Origins showed, a mage can choose to resist one demon's deal, then deal with another one later, and in the novel Asunder, it is shown that Tranquility can be reversed. Not to mention the fact that they have been in this position for almost a mellenia.
The only way that I would accept the Templar Order was if it was reserved for gaurding the Chantry, and sending out forces to deal with any blood mages and abominations that pop up. Otherwise, they do far more harm than good.

Mm, I agree that the order *as it is* does not work. But I think that a reworking in values, and a removal of unpleasant members, could turn it around. The key being that they should protect the mages too, that that should be just as important as protecting the world from blood mages. Kirkwall is a prime example of what happens when there is no trust and only fear. If the mages knew they could trust the templars to protect them against each other, others, and whatnot, I think it would be a different organisation altogether.
But yes, the order as it is now is only oppressive and instead brings out the worst in both sides.

Well, I guess I'm just an angry rebel, because I don't think the Circles should exist at all. Mages have the potential to do so much good, and yet they are forced to be carrolled like cattle because of the Chantry's fear and common superstitions, which the Chantry often encourages in order to keep public opinion against the mages.
I guess that I think that the whole system is so messed up and hypocritical that it needs to be completely done away with, and rebuilt from the ground up.

Oh, I agree with you on that last point; cooking sucks. XD
π: 0 β©: 0
Well, I suppose I look upon the whole deal a bit more favorably than I should. Probably because they discourage the mages from learning important every day survival things, such as cooking, to make sure they don't know how to fend for themselves if they would escape. And since I hate cooking... XD

We know we want this romance. I'm a guy...but I prefer straight relationships like this. Sure, he's racist a bit towards mages (You can't treat them like people like you or me...blah blah...) but he is one of the more sane characters... a TEMPLAR at that!

Not realy when i played a mage abd sided with the templars he was say "the mages dont need to die"
π: 0 β©: 0
The craziest templar in Ferelden is the sanest templar in Kirkwall. I think that speaks volumes of how bad the situation is in Kirkwall XD
And the way Cullen has issues with mages, well, I just see it as one of those lovely challenges to conquer (preferably with a stealthy blood mage XD)
π: 0 β©: 1
Well I hate the racism. Mages should be a grand part of ruling and trust. I mean... still have the templars...but let them live at their homes! Just make the Templars Super Guardsmen/women (If I didn't add the woman... Aveline would shank me.) They're just like anyone else...but GIFTED. The only reason people hate them is because they're afraid someone is more powerful than them...wait.... I detect a deja vu disguised in another very subtle way. Carver whining and you being a mage....Coincidence?!?!? I think not!

It's a natural fear, I think. There's a reason why everyone point at Tevinter when they talk about mages going unchecked. Granted, the Kirkwall situation is horrendous because there is no trust in the *templars*. If the mages could trust the templars to not only protect the people from the mages, but the mages from harm as well, then the system would work. The moment the templars start abusing the mages in their charge, it all goes straight to hell.

Well...I think my plan of having towns where mages can live... perhaps have templars as superguardsmen/women. Their families, they can feel free too... that's what most of them want. To be free. It's the templars' fault for not coming up for a compromising way.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, technically the Circle system is a compromise. That's why Anders does what he does, with his 'to hell with compromises' thing. I think DA3 will feature the reason why the Circle is a compromise - mages going free and doing whatever they like, vs. templars killing mages they find.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well...there shouldn't be violence. I agree...it'll be an interesting concept for DA3...but I just feel like they should co-exist...like friends.... I guess kinda like Malcolm Hawke and Ser Maurevar Carver. Plus I really think it's Meridith which made Kirkwall crazy. Either way... I think if it would eventually become like a tower surrounded like a small village with visitable family for the mages and places to hang out...it's fine.If something goes wrong... Templars to the rescue! (TM.I wish it was a TM.)

If your sister and your father are mages, and your mother comes from a long line with magical blood, well, you better have some kind of magic
