Much like I would if given the chance. DOWN WITH THE ZEALOTS.

Now, let's all enjoy the religious [maelstrom]

Hawke will handle it just like you Warden did.

He would handle the same way I make every Mage PC; laugh contemptuously and murder the poor fool who was stupid enough to ask the question. My Mages usually don't like religion. :)

Hey don't judge. Grammer and Spelling doesn't have a correlation with intelligence, just so you know!  :P

I'm sure I'll help the Chantry with minor quests out if the board returns. Not sure what I will do if any major decisions arise. Would like to kill some Templars though.

Of course the Maker exists! One of my Hawkes will make the streets flow with the blood of the non-believers.

Canonically we don't know. The Spirits (per Justice in DAA) think there is some sort of higher power(s) and certainly the Elves think this, and the existance of "Old Gods" seems real enough.



That said, I am almost certain that the Maker as described by the Chantry does not exist. There are too many provably inconsistances (such as where are all the souls of the unbelievers lost in the fade as Morrigan points out).



I fully expect my Hawke to teach the Chantry the meaning of "the pointed end of the stick" and I'll leave it at that.

I'll probably help the chantry if given the choice but I'll also try to either get rid of our greatly lessen the Templar's control on Kirkwall, but this is only concerning my canon playthrough.



As for the question "Does the Maker Exist?" Uh....perhaps you need to take a break from DA:O

Because this is a fictional universe, this would be interesting to know.

The Maker exists all year round, so long as you keep him in your heart. ...Oh wait, that's Christmas. Nevermind.



You know we'll never find out. It kind of defeats the point of having a fictional religion if we meet the God of it. But I imagine my Hawkes' will range from pro-chantry to tolerant of it. Maybe a Mage that wants a lot less control, but I'm personally not interested in the concept of tearing down the establishment just because it's there.

I think in this game, he does. The Urn of Sacred Ashes cured the Arl, did it not?

Don't know. I'm interested in the answer but I don't think it matters that much.

Like any intelligent person, my PC won't treat all members of a religion as a hivemind.

I'm pretty sure Gaider said the Maker's existence or lack thereof would never be revealed.

There could be another explanation, for all we know the Ashes' powers could be due to Tevinter Blood Magic.

Oghren says that the mountain contains an absurdly large and pure lyrium vein.

Bring Oghren with you. He'll explain that's it's the lyrium in the mountains affecting the ashes

Probably not.



And frankly, if it does, it doesn't matter. It shunned humanity for worshipping other gods, then it shunned them for entering the golden city, then it shunned them for killing andraste.



It shuns so much it probably never actually interacts with the world.

If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the Planes, it is that many things may change the nature of a man. Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear - whatever you believe can change the nature of a man, can. I’ve seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil hag's heart half-circle. This entire Fortress has been constructed from belief. Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a part of me.

He does sound a bit of a drama queen.

@OP We'll never know for certain imho.  You'll have to take the information given in game and make up your own mind.

Oh to answer the actual question to asked and not just the topic title...

Dunno.  Will have to wait and see how its presented to me in game.  From Origins perspective I see it as more superstition and fear mongering but DA2 may change that.
