Wouldn't a Mage Hawke, assuming he doesn't become a Grey Warden, be an apostate and thus be hunted down by the Circle's Templars? I wonder if they'll have something to explain this or if we'll have to assume nobody notices or cares about his magical abilities for some reason.

Depends where he lives. If in Ferelden, then yes. If in the Free Marches, then no, as the Free Marches are a collection of independent city-states, where the Templars have little power.

[Felfenix]

Hawke is from Lothering though, so... if he was a mage, wouldn't the Templars be tracking him?

[MKDAWUSS]

He's really a tranquil

[Kijin]

They would only track him if he went to the circle. If he never went to the circle, then he wouldn't have a Phylactery made, which means the Templars have no way to track him down.

Depending on how much story overlap there is between DA1 and DA2, there's also the possibility that they could integrate one of the DA1 Mage Warden's endgame wishes--that the Circle be granted its independence from Templar oversight.

[Drasill]

Well, he's supposed to be the most important person in the world of Dragon Age at one point and I'm pretty sure the Circle doesn't care whether your a beggar or royalty.

[Kijin]

Well, Hawke is supposed to be survivor of Lothering, which means by the time that independence is granted, Hawke should be in the Free Marches already. Depending on how our choices crossover, you could be correct.

I dearly hope that's the case (having asked for that very boon), although Awakening seemed to ignore that choice.  Who knows. :-/

Perhaps whilst in Lothering his abilities in the arcane arts could have gone unnoticed because he was smart enough to hide it, or after escaping Lothering and making it to the Free Marches he was trained in the arcane arts, despite not having arcane abilities, and was able to force out the arcane within him. That may seem far-fetched but considering humans go into the Fade whilst they dream that could insist that all humans have some ability in the arcane, just not naturally awakening like the traditional mages.

The Templars in Lothering were far more concerned with protecting the refugees from the Blight. A child with the potential for magic would have been the least of their problems.

True - they let Morrigan (an apostate) and a Grey Warden (a wanted person) wander as they pleased.

[Kijin]

I actually hadn't though of that, but you're right. I was thinking that the Templars probably didn't even notice, as there were presumably hundreds, if not thousands of refugees and only a dozen Templars or so.

Heh, well supposedly Tranquils have no emotion, so trying to roleplay as one would be highly repetitive. It would be awesome to have one as a companion, though.

[Firky]

Could not agree more.

It's why they wanted the dialog wheel with PC VO :lol:

More Less importantly, are people going to keep pronouncing it "APP-uh-state", or return to the original (and frankly, better-sounding) "uh-POS-tate"?

This may be off topic a bit, but what concerns me the most is not the lack of multiple origins, but the amount of companion banter. The more your companions talk and argue with one another, the better in my view and it would just be awesome to have a Tranquil argue with one of the more emotional members of your party.

[Sable Rhapsody]

I can't even formulate logical responses when it comes to apostates, other than DO WANT. My mage in DA thumbed her nose at the Chantry, became bestest friends forever with Morrigan and Anders, and made goofy faces at Templars whenever she had the chance. And it was glorious.



Please can I be a apostate? Pretty Please? ^^



Though I also wouldn't mind seeing the freed Circle in Ferelden...that or belonging to a different Circle would be next best.

[ahnnajade]

If Hawke was a kid in Lothering his mageness could have been yet undiscovered, and the chaos following shielded him from the Circle/Templar till current? And is it certain he was from Lothering and not just in it at the time?

That would still make him an apostate in Ferelden, I'd think.

[Kijin]

Which wouldn't matter if Hawke spends most of his time in the Free Marches. Apostates only exist in regions where the Chantry has control, and presumably the rulers of the individual city-states will decide if the Chantry has permission to send their Templars into their territory. This means that some city-states will have Templars, but not all of them will.

I am sure he will gain power so fast/and followers.That the chantry will see him as a threat but through actions*such as becoming a champion* they will rethink it.Of course if your a real evil guy pissing off the chantry I am sure they will try to send templars after you.I assume they do not have your blood so they will not be able to do it continously.As you will be traveling making it harder for them.

Mage Hawke is an apostate and is related to the PC Mage-warden in DA: O
