The Arl of Redcliffe can't count his own SON as his heir, because Conner is a mage, not even a blood mage, just a mage. The law of the land decrees that a mage cannot hold a position of power. This includes queen. If you want to go further, then let's say you do get away with it, and by some miracle, have a child. That child may be a mage, and therefor cannot be his heir, and the country is in turmoil yet again, when you both reach your calling because of the mind control that got you there in the first place. Of course if you want to completely circumvent the lore of the game, there's a mod out there for it somewhere. But as it stands, you want to be queen, you play a Cousland.
Changing laws such as this is exactly the reason WHY my mage wants to rule. The chantry suppression of mages has gone too long already. It is time to step into Andraste´s footsteps and raise up to free the land of suppression.
Of course it doesn´t matter that much because I can always roleplay my bloodmage mindcontrols whoever rules.
Oh, and in fact everyone can rule by making unhardened Alistair solo king and being chancellor.
and your arguments are exactly WHY the Chantry cracks down on mages. Such out of control BS is why they are in towers and kept under lock and key. Its why blood magic is so evil, using it to further your own selfish goals.
I am of the mind that mages need some checks and balances esp if they are untrained *Points to Connor* or simply out of control and making stupid choices *Points to Jowan*. I believe the Circle is a necessary evil to protect mages from the populace who would doubtless kill them if they suddenly blood magic'ed up people or set their heads on fire. (I wonder how many mages are killed before the templars find them?) It also protects the populace from such sterling examples of mages like Uldred and Avernus.
The blood mage I'll be playing after I finish Caislyn, is hateful about the circle, and the chantry. She chose blood magic as defense, and wouldn't use it to harm innocents. Ever. But she'd give the last drop of her life force to save what she holds dear. She's not a good girl by any stretch, and Alistair isn't even an option for her. Because no way, in MY mind could he look past what she is. Another mage he could, and will, but not a blood mage. As fr as she's concerned it's the mages that need to stand up for themselves, to make things change. Any law enacted would just cause more trouble, because many mages believe the way things are is right. Wynne, Keili, even Irving to a point. Change needs to come from within, and together with the chantry and ruler.
As for elves being queen, there's another aspect to that. Look at the elves lot in the city. They're the equivalent of the dusters in Orzammar. The Dalish won't accept them, and neither will the humans. Would you really want to see an elven queen? Knowing it could potentially give the idea to the single, female city elves to try and find a noble themselves? To turn to noble hunting? Is THAT good for them?
As far as wanting a good ruler...Alistair, on his own, and hardened IS a good ruler. He can make the tough decisions, while being more fair to everyone.
