There was this brilliant blog post that explored the reasons why the templars don't arrest a mage Hawke... The link was posted, well, maybe some 50 pages ago, lol. Kirkwaller's guide to social justice or something. Anyone got the link at hand?
It was great, and it pointed out a lot of things in this game that it just does not get credit for. Even the whole plot immunity for mages is covered by the fact that everyone knows Hawke and/or Hawke's friends are mages, but they let it slide because Hawke is either more beneficial as an ally or is protected by social status.Hawke is willing to take care of all the **** that needs to get done but nobody else is willing to touch.
I mean, the Wardens had a bounty on them in DAO and only the refugees in Lothering tried to collect. Otherwise they were free to "I'M A WARDEN!" all over the place, and they also had mages and qunari and **** in tow.
Yes but in the Warden's defense, he blight and Civil War was probably distracting most people. Not to mention that there are times where you say your a Warden and the guy at Orzammar demands your head, Teagan and Eamon are on your side, the Circle is under demonic/abomination/blood mage control and could care less, and the Dalish could care less about the bounty. I don't think the Wardens announce themselves as such in Denerim, at least I can't remember. The people who do recogize the Wardens all do seem to be on their side.
Anyway, I do agree that Hawke takes care of stuff that other ppl wont, and so s/he is more useful as a free mage. But I don't see how Hawke's status and money helps him/her and friends from being dragged to the gallows since many nobles have to send their children to the Circle. Bethany also talks about how if they were born in Kirkwall their mother may not have had the courage to deny the templars from taking her. I just don't buy that Hawke's status is what is keeping her/him out of the gallows. At least not before s/he becomes Champion.
