I would side with the Mages. Not even lore wise does it make sense to confine them. The Tevinter Imperium and the Arlathan elves were able to build powerful societies with mages in control and or running around willy nilly. The Grey Warden without any special abomination fighting training or special training at all was able to plow through every abomination in the Circle Tower and the only one that remotely difficult was Abomination Uldred. The only other parts that were slightly difficult were the two desire demon fights (largely because the ambush was...well an ambush).


Tevinter has circles, just like Ferelden...mages are opressed there too..just by other mages.

Or Arlathan we know nothing...

Broken Circle? Gameplay decision. The player has to win.


The circles in Tevinter are likely to be very, very different to the one seen in Ferelden. After all, the "Black divine" is himself a mage.  In this case its more like people that are born with magic are taken to become the elite of the country, rather than the "tolerated" and "cursed" individuals as we see in DA:O.

As to who I side with, I may give the mages a chance.


Not really more different. . I remember Gaider said something about the Tevinter Circle, and their situation is more or less the same, because the ruling maged don't want that other mages take their power. There are even templars to watch the Circle, though they are generally common soldiers. Sorry I probably can't manage to find the post. You are free to not believe me, but I'm quite sure about that post of Gaider.

I'll make a mage that is sick and tired of all the mages he has encountered an have him side with the templars. I did that in DA1, so I'll make a Hake to continue his journey. Why? For the hell of it.

Seems like the story is set up to gently nudge us towards supporting the mages.....your either an apostate mage or your dear younger sister is one (depending on your character choice).

I'm guessing you'll have to pick a side. So who will you pick?

I started a poll too: http://social.biowar...89/polls/14398/

I'll probably pick mages, because they certainly need to  have more freedoms.



Neutral on the mater for the most part i have to  hear both sides on the matter befor i  pick  a side

I do not feel strongly about this matter one way or the other.

That would make sense, yet I still would consider that to be a preferable system to other circles in Thedas. Rather than being seen as someone with an inherent flaw, there is still respect that can be earned without the onus of being a mage. Not to mention that there is room to  advance in society.

Same, rogue neutral, unless the hand is forced by one or the other.

I don't think many people would side with the Templars begin what we know so far.

Unless given good reason I'm with the mages, but we'll see what will happen.

Lol no.

Someone would answer to the question "why you cancel your subscription?" by "this game sucksss", and before that in the forum would come angry posts how "pvp is imbalanced" :)


Edit: And it could be you would only see rogues. I see no reason why you would see mages. Rogue only most probable. More fun.


Edit: Eh, you would not see anything. You would just respawn :(

I don't know. The qunari, if that's a possibility.

I guess, if I had to choose... the templars. Not a big fan of the Maker, but I am a sucker for authoritarianism (at least in fiction).

I'd even side with the mages if they all turned blood mages and decided that they were going to rise up and mind control everyone and take over the all of Thedas being led by Flemeth.


Lol we would make a good team. The end game text would be just "It is a bad idea to try control mages." xD

Well BioWare wont let it go so easy. There will be puzzling choises and drama. Warden's daddy is Knight-Commander. And choises where whatever you chose someone will suffer.

I hope if we are forced to choose between sides there won't be a "good" or an "evil" side.



As for who I'll side with, well, it just depends on my Hawke's personality and beliefs.
