Thank you! The background for my drawing was inspired by this concept art for the game. And I am glad others have thought of that idea, I hope that it is a possiblity. Well... I hope and don't hope at the same time. I would love some sibling drama in the game, but I don't want it to be a sure thing that Carver (or Bethany) will leave you.
I don't know enough about the plot to predict what will happen either, but one reason I think Carver could possibly want to side with the templers is: "Maybe if Bethany was trained by the Circle and not father, she wouldn't have been killed by the ogre! " Or maybe you find out something about your father in the game, like maybe he did something horrible as an apostate, and Carver feels he needs to redeem the family name by working with templars. This is all just random speculation, but it makes me excited to play the game to find out what happens.
But besides my ideas, I think Carver is very loyal towards his family, which is what would make his betrayal all the more shocking.
And that quote you found about the writer for Carver is very interesting! Aveline possibly turning on you would be some good drama as well, but I'm not sure if it would be as surprising as Carver doing so.
If they implement Carver's betrayal in a believable and well-written way, then hey, I'm all for it. What I don't like to see, however, is a betrayal just for the sake of it and to add drama and whangst for Hawke.

I think I'll start using this image for whenever someone complains about something. Which is all the time.
... which is exactly what I had in mind when I made it. Take that, derp-sayers!

I personally don't know enough about the DA2 storyline in general to pursue the topic very far. If there does turn out to be a Chantry vs Mages thing going on, would Carver have any reason not to support his family? His codex entry from the demo spells out his loyalty to his family, and I don't know of anything that would suggest he's particularly taken with the chantry/templars. Of course, the game does span a decade, and any number of events might happen somewhere down the line.
This is how I see it as well. But then of course, Bethany's death could have been the final straw. Even though they didn't seem particularly close from what I've seen in the demo.

They're fantastic! And I'm sure Carver and Aveline wiped out all the incoming hostiles.
